Judge Says Trump Campaign-Finance Probe Tied to Cohen Is Over
Prosecutors concluded their investigation into whether anyone at
Donald Trump’s company worked with his former lawyer Michael Cohen to pay hush money to alleged mistresses, ending a potential legal threat to the president’s business and executives close to him.
Wow, another case closed with no more indictments for the fantasy charges Cohen plead guilty to. GO FIGURE. Many more commie tears to follow.
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
Yeah “wow”...In January prosecutors ask to talk to Trump officials, February Barr/Andy Cohen takes over as AG and now the case is “closed”. “Wow” indeed.
Campaign finance experts said form the beginning there was no violation. That was confirmed today, with no additional charges being sought. It also proves Cohen should have had a better lawyer.

No they didn't. A Trump sycophant may have said it, but actual experts don't. Oh, and Cohen went to jail for those violations.
Really?

Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts total, including five counts of tax evasion and one count of making a false statement to a financial institution.
Deputy U.S. Attorney Robert Khuzami said at a press conference Cohen failed to disclose $4.1 million in reported income, which allowed him to obtain various loans to which he would otherwise have not have been able to access.
He also pleaded guilty to one count of making an excessive campaign contribution on Oct. 27, 2016, which is the same date Cohen finalized a payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels as part of a nondisclosure agreement over an affair Daniels alleges she had with Trump. Cohen said he did so at the direction of “a candidate for federal office.” He did not mention Trump by name.
