Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to those campaign finance violations [of making unreported in-kind donations to help win the election], saying in court that he did so at [Dear Leader's] direction. [David] Pecker ... corroborated Cohen's account that [Fuckface] was in on the scheme. ... "Individual 1" ... was let off the hook even though it was clear that he was guilty of the same crimes for which Cohen was going to prison and Pecker was given immunity.
Pecker was the first witness to testify in the trial.
Victoria Bekiempis quotes prosecutor Matthew Colangelo's opening statement:
This was a planned, coordinated, long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election, to help [von Clownstick] get elected through illegal expenditures – to silence people with something bad to say about his behavior.
It was election fraud, pure and simple.
