Ever heard of Garrick Marland?

How about the hundreds of Obama judge nominations McConnell refused to consider?

How about McConnell's refusal to allow a Senate vote on preventing Mueller from being removed from the investigation?

Sure. Why would McConnell refuse to allow a vote . . . because "the judges".

All those votes require a simple majority. So a few defections would tip the scale. Conviction in an impeachment trial require 67 votes. There is no way 20 Republicans defect. And once the impeachment is defeated, it blows up in Dems' faces.

As a liberal and yet a patriot (they are not mutually exclusive) it was a shame that yesterday (Pear Harbor Day) didn't get the same attention as it has every December 7 since I have been alive. Thank the felonious Donald Trump for that.

Well, that's your own fault. I saw and heard plenty of Pearl Harbor stories yesterday, but you're too consumed with TDS and posting nonsense about Trump every single day.

Mueller never

Clownpole forever

Correct!

Some of us aren’t glued to the boob tube watching 24 hour cable news and posting on the internet. We actually have a life.

I attended a Pearl Harbor Day ceremony and spent some time with some great Americans.

I’m sure there was one in your town that you could have attended instead of watching the fall of Trump.

And once again, for the 1,758th time you show your true colors.

One can only betray someone to whom one owes their allegiance. Senators owe their allegiance to the United States of America, not to Donald Trump. But I know that this is a concept that escapes you entirely.

As has been said many times, Trumpettes, (and yes, you are one, Lying Gary), are NOT Americans!

"For a criminal prosecution, the Justice Department must prove that a defendant knowingly violated campaign finance laws."

From your link, ignorant one.

"It likely would have been difficult for Cohen to have tried to argue that his campaign violations weren’t willful given the allegations that he tried to conceal the purpose of the payments as legitimate legal expenses and used shell companies for the transactions.

"In court Tuesday, Cohen told the judge, under penalty of perjury, that he knew he was committing a crime by making the payments. He said he did so “at the direction” of Trump — identified as “Individual-1″ in court papers — “for the principal purpose of influencing the election.”

Yeah, COHEN knew it was illegal. That's why he pleaded guilty. It doesn't prove that Trump also knew it was illegal.

To be fair, Cohen knowing that he was committing a crime is a different thing than Trump knowing he was committing a crime. Remember that Trump is WAY dumber than a rock.

You cannot violate campaign finance law unless you know that it's illegal. I don't think SDNY can prove that he knew it was illegal.

And even if it is illegal, it's not an "impeachable" offense because it happened before he became President.

Once he leaves office, Trump 46 can pardon him on her first day in office. He will never be indicted.

So, ignorance of the law is a legitimate defense when caught breaking the law?

That's not the case with 99% of the time. But campaign finance law is different. Read the AP article I linked above.

A stable genius would know the difference. Guess that does not apply to Trump.

COHEN was directed by TRUMP to perform illegal acts.

Ahem, no. A mob boss cannot claim he did not commit a crime after he directs a hit man to kill someone.

You are one dumb mofo.

But notice that eligibility for criminal prosecution does not perforce mean that the law was not violated!

I believe that one of Barack Obama's campaigns broke federal campaign law, and had to pay a substantial fine as a result. There was no criminal liability IIRC because the violation was deemed to be an innocent one; yet the law was still violated.

COHEN was directed by TRUMP to perform illegal acts.

Just because Trump directed Cohen to make the payment, it does not prove Trump knew it was illegal. Try again.

Okay. So maybe the law was violated. But there is no criminal liability if you didn't know it was illegal. And Cohen is the only one who has criminal liability here.

LOL .... you are truly ignorant. .... It Trump did not know it was illegal then why has he tried so hard to obfuscate it? Why is he constantly lying about it? If he has nothing to hide why is he hiding it?

He was trying to hide it from Melania, not law enforcement officers. I guess you don't understand how marriage works.

Nope. Trump cares so much about Melania that he was banging other women while Melania was pregnant. He could give a rat's ass about her.

Try again.

Ahem, no. Your "counter-point" says absolutely nothing to counter the point that I made. Zip. Zilch. Zero.
