[fleur-de-lisa]

4. +1

[SallyHemmings]

9. Enjoy your wedding day!!!!

[George II]

22. One down side - today Michael Flynn's sentencing was postponed. I wanted the TRIFECTA!

[Grammy23]

23. Omarosa is releasing another tape on Tweety's hour tonight.

Maybe it will be the proverbial icing on the cake. 🍰🎂🥂

[RestoreAmerica2020]

45. I've been canvassing MSM online re manafort/cohen... didn't read anything about flynn's

...sentencing--was it rescheduled?

[George II]

46. Yes, it was on CNN around noon. It was at Mueller's request. I think he anticipated...

...everything that was going to happen this afternoon and figured he can squeeze a little bit more out of that lemon.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

49. Thanks, missed it somehow...

#GOTV

[Fred Sanders]

50. Mueller's day of legal shock and awe. And Shitler has another Nazi gathering tonight...karma.

Sentencing Flynn today with full revelation to the already shocked public of what Flynn also did would have been....just too much joy packed into just a few hours...I get it.

[George II]

51. Rudy said he wanted this wrapped up by September 1. That just might happen!

[mgardener]

66. Duncan Hunter

And wife are in trouble!

[ffr]

27. That sick and twisted, but I love it.

[volstork]

33. I'm saving myself

for trumpy's last day in office. THAT'S the day I want to marry!

[pnwmom]

36. LOL. Me, too! Can this be a group marriage?

[Totally Tunsie]

52. Me too! Me too!

We'll call today The Engagement.

[sprinkleeninow]

53. 👰🤵👰🤵👰🤵👰🤵👰, etc.

💙🇺🇸🌊

[Honeycombe8]

64. Wow, man! Groovy! A communal wedding! Congratulations to US!

[Cha]

72. Hawaii becomes a state August 21, 1959!

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/hawaii-becomes-50th-state

Also my sister's birthday in Gainesville, Florida!

[lapfog_1]

2. LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

if he was elected to any other office, they would be perp walking him right now.

[SCantiGOP]

57. hold on

He said he did it for a candidate for federal office.
MY GOD! He colluded with Hillary!!!

[Thirties Child]

60. LOL!!!!

[scarytomcat]

61. FAKE NEWS

FAKE NEWS my ass

[fleur-de-lisa]

3. LOL!

[Awsi Dooger]

5. Bloomberg reporting that Cohen admitted acting to influence an election

At the direction of the unnamed candidate

They used that phrase and wording several times in recent minutes. I haven't seen it elsewhere

[LonePirate]

13. There are two possibilities (45 & Pence) but he was not Pence's lawyer.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. Yes, he is on tape discussing it w Minority President and no tape with Pence. . . . nt

[blogslut]

6. kicking for the love

[C_U_L8R]

7. Looks like the campaign bus just backed over the candidate

Glorious.

[Mrs. Overall]

8. Woo f*cking hoo! This day keeps getting better and better.

[Old Vet]

10. +1000

[mcar]

11. Holy shite!

[nolabear]

12. Avenatti is the happiest man on earth. He is out for blood.

[uponit7771]

14. RED HATTER RESPONSE: "Clinton Directed Cohen To Violate Campaign Law !!!"

[Mrs. Overall]

15. Are they going to spin this and say Hillary made him do it?

[dalton99a]

16. Kick

[qazplm135]

17. he's worked on so many campaigns...

I mean there was the Trump campaign, and then there was...

[Duppers]

20. EXACTLY!

Wonder what Shitgibbon is going to do to celebrate the events of today!

[Mira]

21. He may finally start to drink.

- his tweets would then be even more entertaining - half the time I think he acts drunk as things are now.

[Duppers]

26. Bet he just doubles up on his pharmaceuticals

Which he's not handling well now. This is going to get even more "interesting" - and <gulp> dangerous.

When they eventually come to lock him up, it will be in a padded cell.

[SWBTATTReg]

30. I don't think you can take enough! Ha! nt

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. Can you say "co-conspirator"? Because the BBC report just did (nt)

[Fred Sanders]

67. The two payments were for 150K and 130K...exact amounts paid to two certain women...to

protect Shitler before the election....

"In a startling admission, Cohen pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws at the “direction of a candidate for federal office.” Those charges concerned two payments — one for $150,000 and another for $130,000 — which were made to two unnamed individuals who Cohen said had information that was “damaging” to the unnamed candidate."

Soon to be indicted conspirator...have to get the underling before the boss, that is how mob takedowns are done.

[workinclasszero]

19. Trump, unindicted co-conspirator????

Cohen said in a plea deal that "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office" he kept information that would have been harmful to the candidate and the campaign from becoming public.

[AllyCat]

62. Well, he was the Fixer

He was just doing his job.

[workinclasszero]

65. Yeah I think his crime boss

should answer a few questions about that in front of a House committee of course.

[Johnny2X2X]

24. Lock Trump up!

This charge in open court leaves prosecutors no choice but to charge Trump, if he wasn’t President.

[ffr]

25. Hint. tЯump knows now that the prosecution has Cohen's testimony to that fact.

How did 63 million American rubes get this so wrong in the beginning? One can only wonder.

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. It would not be safe to walk the streets tonight if this was about a D prez.

[SWBTATTReg]

34. Sadly, you're probably right...nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

35. Cons simply wouldn't tolerate a dem doing ONE of the THOUSANDS of crimes

rump and team have done, not ONE.

[SWBTATTReg]

39. Really. And they accused HRC and Obama of all kinds of crap, and not one crime ...

found among the two, not 1 thing! Hypocrites...

[Eliot Rosewater]

40. Not one, not ever.

Michael Cohen pleads guilty, says Trump ordered payments with ‘purpose of influencing election’

[rurallib]

31. it's a mystery. can America figure it out?

droll rural, very droll

[still_one]

32. I don't know. Who are the likely suspects? Hillary? (sarcasm)

[justhanginon]

38. It was JEB! JEB! made me do it.

[ProudLib72]

37. I didn't know Cohen was working for Obama in 2012

[KayF]

41. 20 questions, i'll start

does the candidate's name rhyme with Bomald Flump?

[gopiscrap]

43. that is huge!!!!

[IncaRoads]

44. "You have to be trusted

By the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in"

[mr_lebowski]

54. and then moving in silently downwind and out of sight ...

you've to strike when the moment is right ... without thinking ...

[IncaRoads]

70. Draaaaaaaaaaaggggggged down

by the STONE!

[FakeNoose]

47. And now ... a word from herself

[Raven123]

48. And now we know why Trump pardoned D'souza

[B2G]

55. This is really bad for Trump.

Far worse than the Manafort conviction today.

[Fred Sanders]

63. True. Your personal lawyer pleads guilty to misusing campaign funds...from YOU, the client!

Next up on the judicial chopping block...the client.

[Gothmog]

56. From my twitter feed

[Scurrilous]

58. Boink.

[zentrum]

59. Didn't Avenatti say

...Cohen would be indicted in 90 days? That was about 3 months ago. Bingo.

[Julian Englis]

68. I'm guessing the candidate wasn't Mike Pence..... n/t

[proglib217]

71. I'm just a tad disappointed

I guess I'm alone. I would have much preferred to have had Cohen name "Donald Trump" by name, as opposed to referring to having been directed by "a candidate for federal office".

[bucolic_frolic]

69. A toast of Trump Vodka to each and every one of you - all around! On the house!

Ваше здоровье! – [vashee zda-ró-vye] – Your health!

It's been a very fine day indeed
