      Except for this opening paragraph, my column for today was written in real time with my tweets and Facebook posts when Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty in federal court in New York City to eight criminal counts including campaign finance violations, tax fraud and bank fraud.  In addition, Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was convicted by a jury in an Alexandria, Virginia federal courtroom on eight counts of tax and bank fraud.  But it was Cohen who threw Trump under the bus by connecting him to the felonies that involve payments that Cohen made as campaign expenses, which were intended to silence two women who claim they had sexual encounters with Trump after he married his wife, Melania.  Trump says the allegations by Stephanie Clifford (also known as Stormy Daniels) and by Karen McDougal are false...and he denies the affairs ever happened.  Daniels insists she had a one-night sexual fling with Trump in 2006.  McDougal alleges her relationship 
with "The Donald" was between 2006 and 2007.  Although Trump is not mentioned by name, court documents identify Michael Cohen as the "personal attorney" for "Individual-1."  The court filing goes on to state that "In or about January 2017, Individual-1 had become the president of the United States."  The events of Tuesday, August 21st, 2018 - day 579 of the Trump administration - will undoubtedly make Trump think that he wishes he never confided in Cohen about anything. Presumably, it is Michael Cohen who knows where all the proverbial bodies are buried...but it will be Donald Trump's presidential coffin that will soon be nailed shut...as the lid has already been closed.

Donald Trump needs to start packing his bags. Michael Cohen has pleaded guilty this afternoon to 8 criminal counts and one of which includes that Cohen admits to being "directed by a candidate" (and we know that's Donald Trump) to violate campaign finance laws by paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels ($130,000) and Playboy model Karen McDougal ($150,000) as a campaign expense to influence the 2016 presidential election. Trump is on his way to either being a sitting president who will be indicted or impeachment proceedings need to begin. Republicans on Capitol Hill cannot stand behind Trump anymore. And any of you Trump supporters who continue to have "The Donald's" back...I'm sorry, but you're all fools. GBD

Donald Trump needs to resign the presidency. His real-life Monopoly game is soon to be over. Resign now...or be impeached and removed from office. And perhaps Trump could become the first president of the United States to "Go to jail, go directly to jail." GBD



 
Trump's former campaign chair & his former "fixer" are guilty. Democrats will regain control of both houses of Congress after this Nov's mid-terms. A Democrat in The White House is right around the corner. It's a great day in America & it's going to get better & better.

Donald Trump's former personal attorney and "fixer" Michael Cohen today swore under oath and admitted that he knew he was committing a crime when he was "directed by a candidate" (and we know that's Donald Trump) to violate campaign finance laws by paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels ($130,000) and Playboy model Karen McDougal ($150,000) as a campaign expense to influence the 2016 presidential election. Since Cohen pleaded guilty to such a felony then Trump himself is an unindicted co-conspirator and needs to be indicted or be impeached and removed from office. Trump needs to do the right thing and resign the presidency before - to borrow words from the late President Gerald Ford - "our long national nightmare" continues. GBD

How can Republicans on Capitol Hill and across the nation continue to support Donald Trump? Trump vowed to hire "the best people" for his administration. But his campaign chairman Paul Manafort is a GUILTY FELON. Deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates is a GUILTY FELON. National security adviser Michael Flynn is a GUILTY FELON. Foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos is a GUILTY FELON. And although he didn't work in the administration, Michael Cohen was Trump's personal attorney and "fixer"...and Cohen is a GUILTY FELON. THOSE are "the best people?" REALLY, DONALD??? It's time for Trump to resign. #SaveAmerica
