Back to cohens payment, he used clever words, saying he used his personal funds to 'facilitate' payment, he acted as a conduit?
So after denying it, being clever to attack the allegation of the affair, rather than the payment, now admitting the payment, but saying it was to facilitate, the story of where the money came from, or if he was repaid, is still not known. I doubt that will stop the investigation into the campaign funds.

I did link to one such reference. And I did read the Guardian article which provided some additional detail (including mention of an e-mail sent by someone within the process). The Guardian article itself doesn't read as an unbiased account. Again, I'm back to where facts can be found.

Here's another extract:

Here's an LA Times article:
http://articles.latimes.com/1995-11-17/news/mn-411...

"Rep. William F. Clinger Jr. (R-Pa.), who chaired a recent House hearing on the travel office, reacted to the verdict by saying, "What started as a botched takeover for political cronies ends today with a jury rejecting a transparently political prosecution."


A somewhat skewed version;

What relevance does a dismissal in 1993 have to the behaviour of the current US president?

Or are we supposed to suddenly forgive Trump his many stupid decisions 'because Hillary' ?

Ok, for the sake of argument let's assume that the lawyer paid Stormyzy for rumpy pumpy with Trumpy and then asking her to keep quiet about it.

Is any of that illegal? And will any of his supporters care?

If not then the Dems and the anti-Trumps need to focus on more important things. It's been long accepted by most people that Trump is a sleazebag par excellence. There's no point flogging a dead horse.

Why not focus on the proposed cuts to medicare/medicaid? That's one of his "lies" that could potentially have a real impact on a lot of his voters and it's a cause that a lot of Americans will get behind (unlike DACA). That's where i think the Dems should concentrate.

I thought Schumer and Pelosi were the leaders of the democrats now and Clinton just an also ran? Is 'what about Clinton' the American equivalent of me banging on about Miliband in a Theresa May thread or have I misunderstood how US politics works?

THe good news is that the Clintons are history.

Maybe the Dems will find a decent candidate next time

This is my fault as I was going off at a tangent having done some reading and watching, which was originally triggered by Assange's warrant being, somewhat meaninglessly, upheld.

My point was not distraction or diversion but context and a hypothetical question about how the equivalent thread would look, or if it would exist, had Clinton won.

She could drone strike the fk out of Japan and still come off as a media darling.

I'd like to see her go up against Trump for the comedy of it all.

Asyou sayto his followers probably nothing,but we know trump doesn't like parting with money, hence getting the GOP to pay legal bills etc, his fundraising now the GOP has stopped. If the money did come from his campaign fund, then that's a legal issue, hence cohen stepping in
Just depends where the money trail goes, but then we could say that about trump over everything...

With zero political experience.

She would just be another Trump.
