. . . at least, not because of Michael Cohen's guilty plea.
"Last week was widely held to be the darkest of President Donald Trump’s presidency. His longtime former attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to a campaign finance violation — paying off Trump mistresses in what amounted to an illegal campaign contribution — and indicated Trump put him up to it. It was, some said, the beginning of the end.
"Well, the end may come.
But this is not the beginning of it. Trump is not going to be forced out of office because of infidelity (which he has denied). Congress has been down that road before — and it led nowhere.
"Trump’s voters are not going to abandon him over this issue, just as President Bill Clinton’s didn’t when he faced impeachment in 1998. Given that Congress decides on impeachment and it is essentially a political act, Congress will respond to the demands
of voters — enough of them, anyway — and leave Trump in the Oval Office."
Also, I want to let you know that I will not be publishing Cut to the News this week. The newsletter will return next Tuesday. Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
