Did we ever find out who Cohen's co-conspirator was?

(52,130 posts)Someone should tell them that it isn't absolutely necessary to comment on everything that happens to Trump. Maybe if they kept a low profile for awhile, people might forget what lying hypocrites they are.
They will rue the day that they ever latched their cars onto the Trump Train and there will be no turning back.

(52,130 posts)Though some of them look awfully uncomfortable, like they are doing all this crap under extreme duress, i.e. blackmail and/or bribery.

(7,395 posts)Nixon resigned because of Watergate.
Not because of the break-in at the Watergate hotel, but by trying to cover it up later. He let his paranoia get the best of him.
Raygun wasn't raked over the coals for Iran-Contra, but for trying to cover it up and obfuscate the sale, using Ollie North as a "fall on my sword" scapegoat.
Dumpy the Clown wasn't convicted of having sex with a porn star, after Melania gave birth, but by trying to cover it up multiple times later. It is ironic and apropos that he was taken down by a porn star and corroborated by a Pecker.
If they would have just said "Yeah, I did it. So f*cking what?" instead of trying to hide their tracks, they would have just endured maybe two weeks of outrage, and then the press/people would have moved on, and they would have barely been affected negatively in a few months.

(23,129 posts)Pathetically lazy, laughably incompetent, obtuse and arbitrary - and corrupt as all get-out.
Like Trump himself.

(40,147 posts)I predict he'll be looking for another job on November 6th.
He's gonna get beat and his worthless ass will be thrown out of Washington.
Colin Allred looks like a very strong candidate, and I think he'll win.
Come on Texas Democrats! Please send Allred to Washington.

(3,001 posts)... with the same weaseling and lying, they push US policy that is collective punishment of an entire nation that has done nothing to the US.
Sad that so many Dems go along with these weasels and lying fascists.
Cuba did well to rid themselves of these cretinous "exiles".

(40,147 posts)You could say the same thing about Lindsey Graham. Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell, JD Vance, Jim Jordan, Nikki Haley and tons of others. They all deserve to go down because they've all conspired with Chump. How could they be so blind and stupid?
Chump is going down, it's a sure thing now.

They don't even care if he goes to court as long as they can talk about him all day.
