    Count 7 willful cause of unlawful corporate contribution June 2016-Oct. 2016

    Count 8 excessive campaign contribution on Oct. 27, 2016

    That's a doozy if you're looking for knock-on effects elsewhere.

    I like how Cohen is pleading guilty like the very moment we reached page 100 of the last thread on him, and also will probably be in front of a judge the moment Manafort hears his own verdicts. The reality simulation is humming along nicely today for whatever reason...

    UH wow, so they literally got guilty verdicts at no joke the same exact moment in time, and they were both 8 counts? No really, please stop the simulation, I'd like to get off.

    Wait, so Cohen has plead guilty to the exact same number of charges as Manafort was just found guilty of?

    Reality's writers are fucking hacks.

    Count 8 is undoubtedly the Stormy Daniels payment no? Is that the date it was on?

    I think so? 7 & 8 implicate the Trump Campaign which might be a big deal going forward.

    I think that the judge should have insisted on 46.1 to 48.2 months. Or possibly 62.98 to 65.85 months.

    What is the argument that Trump did nothing wrong by ordering Cohen to violate campaign finance law?

    I can't get over that if you're talking about the male felon found guilty of 8 counts today you would have to specify which one. Oh the one who worked closely with the President? No, I need you to be more specific.

    the fuck is this world.

    I wonder if the timing was that Cohen had been given a plea deal and told the offer expired when the results of Manafort's case came out.
