The proof is in the charging documents Bob. In those Federal Prosecutors from SDNY say Trump directed Cohen to commit a felony. If you direct someone to commit a felony you are a co-conspirator and you can be charged with the same offense that the person you directed to commit the crime was. The only reason Trump isn't facing an indictment right now is that he is a sitting President. You can bet that this charge will be listed in Mueller's final report to Congress or in a separate report from SDNY to Congress. If Congress doesn't take action, at the conclusion of his Presidency Trump (assuming Trump doesn't pardon himself) Trump will be charged with the same crime Cohen was.
Paying for a non-disclosure agreement is not a crime, period. Paying for a non-disclosure agreement with one's own money, not campaign funds, is not a crime, period.
The charges were never made during a trial in a court of law. The prosecutors never prosecuted the charges in a court of law. They never proved the charges in a court of law.
Again, there is no proof that Cohen committed crimes, and certainly no proof that Trump committed crimes. You keep saying Trump committed a crime. That is just your opinion. There is no proof. Unproven charges made against someone other than Trump are NOT proof that he committed a crime.
...a couple months ago, a few people in this forum claimed a sitting president could be indicted (obviously believing the MSM talking heads). Uh, nope!
The MSM talking point word of the day today was impeachment. It looks like they know as much about the laws concerning impeachment as they knew about the laws concerning the indictment of a sitting president...but they don't give a damn if they are wrong.
