Trump's shyster lawyer Cohen pleaded guilty for campaign finance violations, and that's all there is.
"ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A federal jury in Virginia convicted Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, on eight felony counts on Tuesday, but the judge declared a mistrial on the 10 other charges he faced. The trial was the first public test of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, and while the special counsel was vindicated, the victory wasn't total."
Here's CBS:. "Former longtime Trump attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty Tuesday to eight counts - including two campaign finance violations involving payments to silence women he believed could be detrimental to the 2016 presidential campaign. Cohen testified in federal court, according to his lawyer, that Donald Trump himself directed Cohen to commit a crime."
Answer: It isn't! Moreover, the funds used for the "Alleged hush money" were from personal funds, not campaign funds! Cohen pleaded guilty for "Donating" too much to a campaign to the tune of about $126,500.
That's the "Crime", and it means nothing with respect to President Donald J. Trump! Here's the deal: the prosecutors forced Cohen to plead guilty to non-crimes basically.
Campaign finance violations never result in anything more than a fine.
After the 2008 election, the FEC found the Obama campaign was guilty of $2 million in campaign finance violations, and Obama's AG Eric Holder fined the campaign $375,000, i.e. the largest campaign finance violation fine in history; however, nobody was charged with a felony for that.
