Two top lawyers say it is now time for President Donald Trump to negotiate a plea deal and resign from office in order to minimize his legal liability.

Both former U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal and former chief White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter reached the same conclusion yesterday after more evidence was disclosed making clear that Donald Trump was guilty of committing at least one felony — and probably several more.

Katyal wrote a lengthy piece for The New York Times that explained in detail the legal problems facing Donald Trump.He made clear that there were only two choices for prosecutors now: either indict him and charge him with the crimes, or turn over all of their evidence to the U.S. House of Representatives. And he also said that the Constitution would require the House to proceed with impeachment proceedings if prosecutors decline to indict the president. - PoliticusUSA

The Former Commissioner, chairman, vice-chairman of the FEC, and the expert often cited by the Supreme Court in FEC cases (including citizens united vs FEC), professor Brian Smith, said Cohen plead guilty to a non-crime and Trump is guilty of nothing. My appeal to authority Trump's yours.

When you consider Watergate, Tricky Dick, Iran-Contra and Bedtime for Bonzo, this level of criminality seems to be surprisingly common whenever Republicans hold the office of the presidency.

It's been discussed already here for months ad nauseam. And, you still haven't produced what the CRIME is.

The crime is quid-pro-quo treason; Russia gets Trump elected so Trump will ease the sanctions that cripple Putin's economy and hurt the oligarchs, and Trump will get the Trump Tower Moscow that he's been talking about for years.

The crime is Conspiracy against the United States. The motivation for Trump is his own personal brand and greed. It's conspiracy because Trump and the GOP actively worked with Russia to influence the election so that should Trump and the GOP win, they can ease sanctions on Putin's oligarch friends. For this, Putin will let Trump license his brand on a Trump Tower in Moscow.

This is the biggest and most wide-ranging conspiracy against the United States ever.

When all is said and done, the level of Russian influence in the Conservative Movement will be so deep and so broad that people will be amazed Fox News doesn't just broadcast in Russian.

What crime? What judge?

From the OP link:

Former Judge Andrew Napolitano, legal analyst for Fox News, said that yesterday the people of America learned without question that federal prosecutors in New York have clear evidence that President Donald Trump committed a felony.

“Career prosecutors here in New York have evidence that the president of the United States committed a felony by ordering and paying Michael Cohen to break the law,” Napolitano said on Wednesday. “How do we know that? They told that to the federal judge. Under the rules, they can’t tell that to the federal judge unless they actually have that hardcore evidence. Under the rules, they can’t tell that to the federal judge unless they intend to do something with that evidence.”

...

“The felony is paying Michael Cohen to commit a felony. It’s pretty basic,” Napolitano said. “You pay someone to commit a crime, they commit the crime. You are liable, criminally liable for the commission of that crime. That’s what the prosecutors told the federal judge.”

In addition, Napolitano gave his opinion that the agreement prosecutors reached with American Media Inc. (AMI), the parent company of the National Enquirer, “ties a bow on all of this.”

AMI on Wednesday plead guilty to paying $150,000 to Karen McDougal “in concert with” Trump‘s presidential campaign “in order to ensure that McDougal did not make her damaging allegations public about her affair with Trump before the 2016 presidential election.”

As CNBC political analyst John Harwood said on Twitter:

“US Atty from Southern District of NY announces it won’t prosecute American Media after firm, headed by Trump friend David Pecker, admits it acted w/Trump campaign to suppress allegation of extra-marital affair before 2016 election. heightens Trump vulnerability to felony charge.”

If the only evidence of a Trump felony was the word of Michael Cohen, it would not stand up in court. But prosecutors — and the judge — know that they have other corroborating evidence, which probably includes incriminating documents. When added together with the new testimony from AMI and its CEO David Pecker, the evidence is irrefutable."

"surprisingly common whenever" Dems are in office and ignore their own skullduggery.

Nappy is nuts.

It depends on where and what funds Cohen paid it (personal or business). He originally said he was on retainer, then admitted he lied and changed his story. Nothing wrong with paying off bimbos.

Lying to prosecutors and Congress about it is. Of course, paying them off to keep quiet during an election, is a crime. They spent 250 K on silencing women. It was an election expense since it was to keep the voters from finding out about them.

I was wondering how you would work that out in your view. I bet a jury would see it differently. Campaign finance law says you cannot pay off bimbos if it is for the purpose of attempting to affect the outcome of an election. The National Enquirer admission is what corroborates that this was an attempt to influence the election.
