    I'm sorry, it appears Fox News did not cover her pay-to-play accusations, so no one here thought to be outraged over it.

    Hell, I only found one story on Hot Air about it, and it had zero comments. Must not have ticked anyone on the right off enough to speak out. Which makes sense, since the right is now defending Cohen's position doing the exact same thing.

    It appears the only ones who spoke out at the time against Dunn's scheming was… other Democrats.

    So, not sure what you're getting at here.

      This is where your unfunny jokes turn into unwarranted scorn. You made a statement and it was proven incorrect so you had to save face by insulting your target.

      Wonderful insightful stuff.

      It disproves your point, which you stated as:

      "If this was a Democrat doing this, you people would be howling at the moon at the injustice of such skullduggery."

      A Democrat indeed did something very similar and none of "us people" howled at anything about it.

        No, I went to Fox News' website, searched for that woman's name, and didn't find any articles at all regarding allegations of scandal. I'm saying, you weren't outraged because your side's preferred news source, for whatever reason, did not touch it.

        The traction that story gained was minuscule. It's hard for a movement to form around something no one knows about.

        Now, if you wanted to flip that around and note the hypocrisy that no one cared when it was a Democrat, but shit themselves over a Republican doing it? You'd have a point. Although it seems that Trump's lawyer was much deeper in the much than this Obama lackey ever was.

          Again with the insult. I don't let news editors decide what I think is noteworthy.

          It was well known, it was just a nothingburger. Just like this.

          You made a statement, it was proven false. End of story.

            John Oliver put it perfectly.

            I would argue that, at heart, these companies got exactly what they paid for. Because they wanted to understand how the Trump administration worked. And think about it. They put their trust in a political novice who turned out to be a total moron and who was actually just bilking them for personal gain. So, you wanted to know how the Trump administration works? Congratulation, you just got a fucking master class.
            Enjoy.

              EXCLUSIVE: Michael Cohen 'asked Qatari investor for millions of dollars' which he said he would 'pass to Trump family members' at Trump Tower meeting - and Qatar's foreign minister was there too

              Donald Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, is facing claims he asked a Middle Eastern official for millions of dollars to give to 'Trump family members' in a meeting at Trump Tower weeks after the president's election victory, DailyMail.com can reveal.

              Cohen is alleged to have asked Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, a former diplomat in charge of a $100bn Qatari investment fund, to send 'millions' through him to Trump family members. A source told DailyMail.com that the Qatari said he refused.

              Al-Rumaihi on Tuesday issued a statement agreeing that he was at Trump Tower and a source with knowledge of the daysaid that Cohen had 'popped in' briefly to a meeting. Photographs show that he was part of a group greeted by Cohen, who went up in an elevator with them.

              DailyMail.com can disclose that the group also included Qatar's foreign minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

                Maybe when this is all in the past he can get a job with the Clinton Foundation. He appears well qualified.

                  Well, that would be one way for you to give a shit.

                      If this is substantiated it's devastating. If he's full of shit and was going to pocket the funds it's egregious.

                      It's cause for concern in my opinion.

                      Still better than Hillary though - she had this system worked out years ago.
