How Derp Is The Deep State?

Michael Cohen plead guilty to two counts of campaign finance violations that are not a crime. President Obama had a big campaign finance violation and it was easily settled!

Michael Cohen pled guilty to criminal violations of federal law, in open court. A federal judge accepted that plea, the U.S.Attorney accepted that plea, Cohen's lawyer accepted that plea.

And yet, there was no crime? Because reasons? That is the argument of a woman on "1A" right now, because some FEC (former) member wrote an op-ed arguing the law is not clear. The law is clear to the judge, the lawyers, and the defendant, but what does that matter? Hail to the tweet!

This is the GOP defense. When the defense isn't: "Over there! Hillary!"

If there is any justice left at DOJ why is payment by Hillary Clinton and DNC to FusionGPS for the phony Steele dossier not under investigation. On your theory in Cohen plea it’s an illegal campaign contribution.Let’s go DOJ wake up. where’s the indictment. Clintons not above law

Rudy Giuliani is flushing his legal career down the toilet.  You've gotta wonder what the quid pro quo is there?

And now it is reported that David Pecker and "National Enquirer" were named in the charging documents filed against Michael Cohen, and have entered a plea agreement for immunity in exchange for cooperation. Because Pecker did precisely what Trump did: participated in the felony violation of federal law.

So how is this not a crime, again? Or is the conspiracy against Trump indeed this vast?

(I would normally provide links for all this, but I'm reduced to using my phone right now. Don't cry for me, Argentina. Life is full of minor inconveniences.)

She'd be on firmer ground relying on the tweets of President Legal-Beagle.
