Michael Cohen's opening statement: Donald Trump is 'a racist,' 'a conman,' 'a cheat' and knew about DNC email leaks

Edit, this was an answer to a comment that was deleted, but Im leaving this here. Context is known anyway.

sure, but I think this is the ONE time when we know powerful people do this using lawyers and "fixers".

The Elite is laughing at Trumpi because he is an idiot who got caught.

But I do not doubt for a second that this is the way the world of the powerful works.

So those Republicans will keep doing it, and so will Democrats who I do not believe are innocent angels.

What we need is accountability for everyone, and rich and powerful people going to jail without privileges as the few who do go to jail have.

We do not need Republicans to "learn" from Cohen. What we need is to see that the Checks and Balances do work and that the law is the same for everyone and that Justice is indeed blind.

You will see so many people surrounding Trump getting less time than so many fucking irrelevant weed dealers and shoplifters and all kind of people who do go to jail for doing "irrelevant" things (in perspective and comparison).

shit, sorry for this wall of text.
