"The suit also says that Trump must know [Michael] Cohen is trying to silence Clifford, since rules for the New York bar, of which Cohen is a member, require him to keep his client informed at all times.

They've handed the Koch Brothers and wealthy corporations $1.5 trillion in tax cuts. To pay for them, Republicans now plan on stealing $1.4 trillion from Medicaid and $500 billion from Medicare.

An unsavory plaintiff for sure, but how does a respectable man get involved with such people? No judgment, no respect for his own wife and a botched hush money agreement. A very unpresidential mess on top of many more messes that are much more serious.

Hush agreement & side letter attached to Stormy Daniels' filing essentially shows coordination between @realDonaldTrump, Cohen & Daniels. That means the $130k payment from Cohen to Daniels to silence her during the campaign violated federal election law. Penalty is 5 year felony. https://t.co/L4DdhNCpv3— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) March 7, 2018
