***chuckles*** So, why do you keep bringing them up? Thread is not about the Clinton's alleged wrongdoings...is it just deflection?But..but...but...Hillary!!!...the BBC's Paul Wood delivered another hard blow. In an impeccably sourced piece, Wood revealed this week that Cohen (along with the aforementioned Sater) worked illegally on behalf of Ukraine, adding "lobbyist" to his usual roles as the fixer for and conduit to Trump. The BBC reports that Cohen took a $400,000 to $600,000 payoff from Ukrainian interests without bothering the register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Oh, that Foreign Agents Registration Act. You know, the law that requires anyone doing paid work on behalf of a foreign government to register with the United States Department of Justice.
On Friday, one more piece of bad news ratcheted Cohen's stress level even higher when it was revealed that he met with Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian oligarch deeply tied to Putin, in January of 2017, just before Trump's inauguration.
The denials from Team Trump that they have anything to do with Russia, their assertions that they have no business in Russia, didn't collude with Russia, didn't coordinate with Russia, never borrowed money from Russians, didn't accept dirt on Hillary Clinton from Russia, don't know any Russians, have never met any Russians and have never heard of the country of Russia ring more hollow with every revelation.

Did Bill or Hillary register as foreign agents when their "foundation" took millions in bribes from foreign governments?
Ethics 101...one person's bad acts do not in any way excuse another person's bad acts.
I agree, Bill and Hillary's illegal acts do not excuse any other illegal acts.
It appears that Cohen broke the law....do you agree/and do you believe that he should be prosecuted?
Or is it your belief that since the Right believes that the Clinton's got a pass..that he should get a pass?
To point out double standard and fake outrage. Trump is no saint. But it’s difficult to take seriously anyone complaining about Trumps mild actions who were all in for Hillary or who backed Obama’s corruption and attacks on this people.
I’m sorry but are we supposed to believe that the left is outraged over Trump lying when they voted for one of ,if not, the biggest liar in modern politics?
And anyone who says comparisons aren’t relevant are just dishonest partisan hacks who don’t have the integrity for self examination
