As a follow-on to our previous post, it should be noted that the manner in which Cohen decided to handle hush-money payments was his decision to make, not Trump’s.

And, as a lawyer, he should’ve known the right way to do things, and the wrong way… but giving him the benefit of the doubt – when Clinton’s aides weren’t charged with any in-kind campaign finance violations hushing Slick Willie’s female accusers…

…Cohen could very well have thought what he did was legal.

Besides…relying on a lawyer to do things in a legal manner is not a crime.

But arguing this matter is moot – since the law says hush-money isn’t illegal.
