President Donald Trump on Tuesday attempted to downplay the severity of the campaign finance laws he and Michael Cohen violated when he had his personal attorney pay at least two women to keep quiet about their alleged affairs with Trump.
“Number one, it wasn’t a campaign contribution. If it were, it’s only civil, and even if it’s only civil, there was no violation based on what we did. OK?” he told Reuters on Tuesday. “The stuff you’re talking about is peanut stuff.”
He also ridiculed his former lawyer, who he claimed should’ve known the campaign finance laws.
“Michael Cohen is a lawyer,” he told Reuters. “I assume he would know what he’s doing.”
“Did I hear someone say peanut butter and jelly sandwich?”
Nuts…
Simply nuts.
HRC doing some unclassified government business on her home server is the crime of the century; using campaign funds to secretly pay off your mistresses is “peanut stuff.”
Lock. Him. Up. Lock him up long enough to experience remorse for his cruel conceit. The guy conspired to sow domestic violence.
Compared to the other crimes Trump committed, this might indeed be peanut stuff.
