(10,819 posts)Not porn stars or prostitutes or impregnated women convinced to have convenient abortions. Not pee-pee tapes.
But the FRIGGING RUSSIAN MONEY. Dirty money, blood money, mob money that was being made hand-over-fist. So much money they had to park it off-shore after a complex network of laundering facilities (think Taj Mahal, for one). Or that hinky deal in Azerbaijan, a high-rise that never opened, for which the Trumpster cancelled his branding license but still siphoned off $2.8 million. The list goes on and on and now we have Cohen, that 'coffee-boy' who handled the Trumpster's legal affairs, cited as someone who was accepting money from a Russian oligarch, setting up a slush fund from which to pay off inconvenient complaints and/or necessary expenditures for the Trumpster clan.
Follow the money. It's always the road to perdition.

(268,664 posts)Cohen and the money.
This is why he didn't want the money followed.
Down they go and he is going to take down the RNC with him.

(10,819 posts)definitely opened the can of worms. But I think the stuff that will bring these people down is much worse than paying off a porn star. Or a pee-pee tape for that matter.
Btw, I agree: The Trumpster and his acolytes will take down a huge portion of the Republican Party. Because they knew and benefited. And others, no doubt, who were in on the take. Think even this Cohen reveal is just the tip of the iceberg. And yes, not surprising that the Trumpster wanted his 'business dealings' considered off-limits.
Starting to all make a crazy sort of sense.
