And if the Democrats do impeach him, they will learn the lesson the Republicans did with their overreach in 1998. There are enough mindless, ignorant of the constitution Democrats in the House that it might happen. And they would be punished in 2020.

I believe being implicated in a felony will ultimately prompt a warrant and certainly justify impeachment.

We're just getting started, however. Cohen will work with Mueller and, apparently, has information that will be useful to the investigation. Breaking campaign finance laws might be the least of Trump's worries.

It's already been pretty widely acknowledged, even by former FEC head, that this was a personal matter that would be exempted from campaign finance law.

Sure thing. What about the falsified documents that went along with this payment? The obstruction of the investigation by repeatedly lying about an active investigation? Nah, I’m sure it’s nothing.

1. Falsified documents claim is based on the assumption that the payments were illegal campaign contributions. IF the argument can successfully be made that they were illegal campaign contributions then there may be something there. Since the payments are likely not to be illegal campaign contributions, the documents are not what you think they are.
2. Obstruction again? Please.

1. Making fake invoices is fraud. It’s a felony. That charge is in no way dependent on the illegality of the crime that Cohen already plead guilty to. And let’s remember here, you’re arguing that a literal crime that a person was literally already convicted of isn’t a crime.

2. I know, I’m getting tired of it too, but little Donny can’t stop himself. If the GOP Congress would actually do their constitutional duty and hold the president accountable, we wouldn’t still be here. Yet, here we are, going over how the POTUS has repeatedly obstructed justice into the multiple investigations into the 5 felons he hired for his campaign.
