N.J. GOPers also help cover up any Trump crimes and misdemeanors

Dramatic, split-screen findings of criminality by President Trump's ex-lawyer and his former campaign chair this week are really putting the pressure on his party.

Both will probably go to prison, and testimony also implicates Trump in a serious crime: Long-time fixer Michael Cohen says the president gave him hush money during his candidacy, to buy the silence of two women who said they had affairs with Trump.

This amounts to an illegal campaign contribution. If true, it's a felony, a final insult from a man who rose to power on a promise to drain the swamp, but instead gave it over to even bigger gang of grifters, including himself.

Cohen is a grifter, too, so we still need further evidence to back this up. His word is definitely not enough, by a mile. But the fact that the Justice Department believes this to be true and is willing to proceed with its case against Cohen on that basis is telling. It should end any talk of a "hoax" investigation, once and for all.

Turned up plenty of evidence. Remember the FBI putting together shredded documents? They have video, paper trail, electronic and much more.
