Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA. These agreements are…..

"Imagine if that came out on October 15, 2016, in the middle of the last debate with Hillary Clinton."
So… yea, he just tied the payment directly to the campaign. pic.twitter.com/yiu3Zg7ZYO
Whatever happens @foxandfriends, please do not stop helping our case week in and week out by having Mr. Trump and Mr. Giuliani appear and make damaging stmts. You are truly THE BEST; where can we send the gift basket? #basta

Damn, Cohen shoulda paid Rudy to shut the fuck up.

Who among us doesn’t occasionally accidentally reimburse somebody for the exact amount we don’t know we owe him?
