Rule of Law Indictment covers same nucleus of facts for which Michael Cohen was convicted. Well known: DOJ said Cohen "acted in coordination with and at the direction of" Trump. Less known: Federal Election Commission General Counsel called it illegal campaign contribution👇
@rgoodlaw @ShanaMBroussard @EllenLWeintraub What took so long??
@rgoodlaw @ShanaMBroussard @EllenLWeintraub Trump's lawyers are going to argue that the payments were personal because he wanted to keep the information from his wife.
@rgoodlaw @BillKristol @ShanaMBroussard @EllenLWeintraub So is that a state charge? Concerned this is a federal case… and the feds didn’t take it.
@rgoodlaw @mehdirhasan @ShanaMBroussard @EllenLWeintraub Mar-A-Lago right after Trump heard of the indictment, that’s a lot of ketchup!
@rgoodlaw @ShanaMBroussard @EllenLWeintraub TFG crippled the FEC, and @EllenLWeintraub has been doing a helluva job sounding the alarm. But TFG still got a few passes from them when what he should've got was a jail cell.
@rgoodlaw @ShanaMBroussard @EllenLWeintraub Sounds just like the case against…let me think, hmmm,🤔, it’s coming to me, uh, oh, right, JOHN EDWARDS! There’s precedent folks! This time, charges may stick to the stink!
