That's the Trump defence right there. That's always been the Trump defence. Everyone is a liar, it's all fake news.

I wouldn't trust Cohen as far as I can throw him, now or at any time previously, but Trumpistas can't have it both ways: if Cohen is such a bad apple that nothing he says can be trusted, then what does that say about the guy who thought he would make a great personal lawyer? Let's face the facts: they're all crooks and always have been, and whether or not Trump eventually gets his comeuppance, he belongs in a prison cell.

I care less about the finances of a Billionaire who went into politics than politicians who have become multi-millionaires while on a congressional salary.

If Trump is guilty of dodgy financial dealings as a real estate mogul and that's all they've got on him then nobody will give a shit except deranged democrats who want him executed for the crime of being a Republican already. Cohen shot down the Russia narrative, in effect exonerating Trump. The rest is just theatre.

People who don't believe in climate change are the same personality types who believed the earth was flat.

A proportion of the population being idiots would appear the one constant during the ages that can't be argued.

Nobody, in that case, except for the law. You don't think that the prospect of a president being prosecuted for financial crimes might cause problems for him?

Highly unlikely that any prosecutor would indict a sitting President. Impeachment is possible but unlikely to succeed and as we saw with Clinton the public don't like partisan attacks on the Office of President. Clinton was going to get rolled in 1996 until the Republicans and Ken Starr went after him. Clinton was a total crook, 100% guilty of at least perjury and still didn't face indictment and the impeachment failed.

So does this mean that the Hilary-financed Trump/Russia conspiracy is officially dead? Credit to Dore and a few others on the left who called "bullshit" from early on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hgWSrvXxzs
