    Trump's defense -- even before the Russian conspiracy charges come -- is nothing more than that the President cannot be indicted. That's it. His only defense.

        Neither the Stormy or McDougal payments were campaign violations. That's the argument

        Stormy was to save his marriage. McDougal was the prerogative of David Pecker. Cohen got terrible advice from Lanny Davis.

        You don't read, do you? That's not what Cohen just pled to, and Davis wasn't the guy consulting on the law. You've simply gone batshit insane.

        Cohen screwed it up, obviously. But if he had just stuck to the arguments above no one would have had legal exposure. He got really bad advice

        Replying to @emptywheel

        @realDonaldTrump is an ILLEGITIMATE president as described in the Cohen guilty plea(unindicted co-conspirator that conspired to effect the election) who is guilty of misdeamenors and high CRIMES should NOT be allowed to nominate a Supreme Court Justice.

        Nor remain as president. His entire administration is illegitimate. We need to call it what it is.

        Here is the the thing: Based on Michael Cohens guilty plea, we can now say with 100% confidence that if Trump ran for and won any other major political office in America other than President of the US, he would already be under indictment and facing certain jail time.

        Well, we can maybe assume a sitting president facing charges of domestic election tampering can’t be indicted. A sitting president who was elected because of election tampering in coordination with an adversarial government? New territory, I would argue.

        Small but important note of clarification. Trump certainly can be indicted when out of office. Trump's Sword of Damocles.

        (and that a Republican President can't be impeached unless the Democrats have 67 senators)
