The hits just keep coming for President Donald Trump. On the same day, his campaign manager Paul Manafort was found guilty on eight separate felony charges and the ten that couldn’t be decided can still be retried, not to mention that Manafort still has two more trials left to go. While that verdict was being read, Trump’s personal attorney and “fixer” Michael Cohen implicated Trump in felony campaign violations.
BREAKING: In his guilty plea, Michael Cohen says hush money payments to women were made "at the direction" of Trump.

Now, new statements from Cohen’s attorney, Lanny Davis, on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show may make this the worst week of Trump’s life.
‘I can tell you that Mr. Cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell special counsel all that he knows. Not just about the obvious possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election — which the Trump Tower meeting was all about — but also, knowledge about the computer crime of hacking and whether or not Mr. Trump knew ahead of time about that crime and even cheered it on. We know that he publicly cheered it on. Did he also have private information?’
Lanny Davis, on Rachel Maddow, suggests strongly that his client Michael Cohen has information for Mueller on Trump campaign collusion with Russia and Trump’s knowledge of plans for Russian hacking before the hacking occurred

If Cohen has actual evidence that Trump was aware of the Russian hacking during the elections and even encouraged it, there is only one conclusion that can be made: Trump colluded with a foreign government to commit a crime, and he did so to subvert American democracy and get himself elected illegitimately.
