Of course nobody thinks Cohen paid SD off with his own money, anybody with a brain at any rate, but that doesn't automatically mean DT knew specifically what MC did.
Pretty funny you mention credibilty, I wonder what BS Hillary would be dealing with if she had won? I'm not sure how many or even if any investigations would be going on concerning her and I'm sure the dems/libs/left would be defending her and arguing her case til the cows came home. With Comey and the DOJ in her pocket I honestly doubt if there ever would've been any but man, what a shitload of baggage she has.
Trump may stretch things sometimes but he actually IS keeping his promises best he can. The conomy is the most positive it's been in a long time (which I'm actually a little worried about, but that's a different topic), unemployment is really low and biz is actually finding America an attractive place to do business again. It looks like we're not actually headed to WWIII with N Korea but actually the Korean penensuila(SP?) may actually have official peace after 80 yrs! Think this would've happened under Obama or Hillary? Magic eight ball says 'doubtful'. Obama won his nobel peace prize for what...? If there's actually a peace treaty and we settle our differences satisfactorily DT should get the prize hands down, I don't care what one's politics were. If O had done it, I would've cheered for him. I could go on, but things to do.
