I never directed Michael Cohen to break the law. He was a lawyer and he is supposed to know the law. It is called advice of counsel, and a lawyer has great liability if a mistake is made. That is why they get paid. Despite that many campaign finance lawyers have strongly..........stated that I did nothing wrong with respect to campaign finance laws, if they even apply, because this was not campaign finance. Cohen was guilty on many charges unrelated to me, but he plead to two campaign charges which were not criminal and of which he probably was not.......guilty even on a civil basis. Those charges were just agreed to by him in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence, which he did-including the fact that his family was temporarily let off the hook. As a lawyer, Michael has great liability to me!

Did he ask an intern to help him write that? It's not quite Trump speak, not quite Pence or someone obviously performing danger control.

When Donald Twitler can't fit everything he wants in Twitter's character limit, he connects the tweets by using ...

or more likely it's an add on that he uses.

So...hes admitting that everything Cohen said is true but is trying to claim that technically he did nothing wrong...I didnt direct him to do it. I just advised him. He should have known better....

Probably not the best path to take, Donny.

Thats what it sounds like to me. Hes saying those discussions did take place, those suggestions did come out...but its not on him because Cohen, as the lawyer, should have said no.

He clearly didn't write that tweet. Some damn body probably grabbed his phone and sent it while he was ranting and raving.

They also threw in the exclamation at the end to make it more convincing.

Guiliani is a hobgoblin but I think there's a 1% chance he's working to undermine Trump.

That'd be a pretty long con job since he was loyal to trump for years before he ever ran for president and before he ever made Giuliani his lawyer.

So, this is pretty much a straight admission that he told Cohen to do it. The rule of Donnie is that if he says he didn't so something, you know damn well that he DID do something. Holds true like, almost 95% of the time.

it's ..... interesting how Trump's stance on this whole charade has evolved:

There was no affair

There was an affair, but no hush money

There was hush money, but I didn't know about it

I knew about it, but I didn't pay for it

I paid for it, but that's not illegal

It might be illegal, but I didn't tell Cohen to do it that way

They aren't. Every single one of those statements is simultaneously true.

Yup and don't forget Trump called Cohen a 'good man' and said his office raid was a disgrace and witch hunt just a few months ago:

So this is the time line so far right:

That didn't happen -> I didn't tell him to do it -> Even if I did it wasn't illegal -> Okay I did tell him to do it but it wasn't illegal

He then went on Fox and said Cohen did more PR than lawyering

So there goes his excuse that he was just listening to his lawyer
