Witness tampering conviction? Lose your bar license? Why not both!
Actual consequences are the only thing that will stop this sort of BS.
It is another sign of the times we live in that someone apparently believes attacking someone for their supposed infidelities is a good defense of Trump.
Or for that matter, that making Cohen look even sleazier than he does already is a good way to defend the character of a man who employed him as a personal lawyer and fixer for a full decade.

I learned a lot from this article, Like, I can’t believe you need a license to practice law in Florida!
You don’t want a criminal lawyer … you want a criminal lawyer.
The comment system seems to have eaten my comment, but he’s also known for inviting a neo-Nazi to the SOTU (and then smirkingly defending his choice), and a long history of racist, conspiracy-theory-laden tweets.
A real piece of work indeed.
Corruption is a bitter berry.
That’s nothing. He was also wanted for burglary in the UK.
I think. I guess it could be someone else.
worst breakfast cereal ever.
Corrupt-Os … now with more bitter berry.
