Cohen, a lawyer, plead guilty to campaign finance crimes

Lanny Davis, Cohen's lawyer
Guy Petrillo & Amy Lester of Petrillo Klein & Boxer (Cohen's defense lawyers)
Geoffry S Berman, Nicholas Roos, Tom McKay, Rachel Maimin & Andrea Griswold of
United State Attorney and Assistant Attorneys for the Southern District of New York
Judge William Pauley
Two Members of the FBI involved with this case
Jeannie Rhee and three other lawyers from the Special Counsel's office

Thirteen lawyers, a Federal judge plus two members of the FBI (ignoring all the lawyers looking this over) ... all thought Cohen pleading guilty to campaign finance crimes was legitimate based upon the evidence and submissions provided to the court.

Even FOX's Judge Napolitano agreed with it.

But Trump is trying to tell everyone it was a scam ...
