David French at National Review: "Trump’s Unacceptable Campaign Conduct and Two Other Takeaways from the Cohen Plea."
As French and this Twitter chain from Popehat notes: it's not so much that a (then) real-estate guy was trying to ingratiate himself to the Russians, it's that he must have known his lawyer was lying to Congress but did nothing. Cohen doesn't indicate that Trump told him to lie but I need a lawyer to explain where the line is on obstruction of justice.
Long forgotten: collusion to sway the election.

False equivalence, R.I.P. Died from overuse.
1.) Cohen lies about when Trump was making a real-estate deal before he ever became the nominee.
2.)
3.) Impeachment!
I'd like to solve the puzzle, Pat. #2 is "Lois Lerner targets Tea Party conservatives."
