While Donald Trump was not named, there was little doubt that the reference was to the payments made by Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougall on Trump's behalf.
The justification: if Cohen was guilty of breaking the law so was Donald Trump.
What law was broken? As Cohen agreed to a guilty plea, it was the federal prosecutor that enumerated, with Cohen's attorney's concurrence, what he would plead guilty to and which laws he violated.
Why did the Prosecutor include in the guilty plea that Michael Cohen violated campaign finance laws when clearly the monies came from Donald Trump's personal funds and, per Mr. Smith above, had no direct bearing on the campaign?
In short order, Michael Cohen turned on his on former benefactor in an effort to get the best deal he could with the charges he was facing.
Did Davis, in negotiating Cohen's guilty plea with the prosecutor, insist that the campaign finance charges be included? Would the prosecutor, anxious to notch Cohen's scalp on his belt, agree, as these two charges of the eight were the least serious and, based on recent history of other violations of campaign financing, comparatively meaningless in terms of jail sentences or fines? It certainly appears so, as these two insignificant charges were important only to the anti-Trump cabal which includes Lanny Davis.
Michael Cohen, who was snatched out of obscurity and made famous and wealthy by Donald Trump, pled guilty to five counts of tax evasion and bank fraud and two counts of making excessive campaign contributions.
