Manafort guilty; Cohen guilty. And Cohen implicates Trump. Trump may have to testify under oath after all. What do you think?

I agree with Trump "its a disgrace". I'm glad he is ashamed of his actions and associations with felons.

I also agree with Giuliani that the charges do not name Trump, that needs to be rectified now that we have Cohen's confession. Kudos for Giuliani pointing this out.

I think the best thing for the country is for Trump to resign so that he can focus his full attention on his legal woes. Especially since he has already confirmed that he was the one that directed Michael Cohen to make that payment and his lawyer Giuliani has also confirmed that he was the one that reimbursed Cohen. It is nice that in this case Cohen, Trump and Giuliani all agree about Trump's involvement in these felonies. The good news is that Pence is not implicated in any of this.

Why Trump Supporters Believe He Is Not Corrupt
What the president’s supporters fear most isn’t the corruption of American law, but the corruption of America’s traditional identity.

Trump, even if he's more crooked than crooked Hillary, represents American traditional identity. After president Blackenstein, he's the last great white hope. That's more important than corrupt law.

What an amazing story of connecting the dots. Fox news runs a story about the breaking news in the Mollie Tibbits case and the Atlantic is able to see the true inference behind this story, that what Americans are really afraid of is the corruption of America's traditional identity. I get it. Wow! So that is why Fox ran with this story.

One question, why did CNN cover this story? Also, why did ABC news? One other question, why did PBS and the BBC?

Did any of those networks run the Tibbits case as their lead story as the writer says Fox News did? The author is taking a stab at understanding why people who used to call themselves "The Moral Majority" and who once claimed to have "Family Values" have forsaken their supposed moral high ground to support a philandering, traitorous flim-flam man who with his attorney Michael Cohen is now apparently an unindicted co-conspirator to defraud the American people in the 2016 election. Got a better hypothesis?
