Donald Trump dreaded this day.
Robert Mueller and shadowy forces within the government finally scored their biggest victory.
And you will not believe how close Donald Trump is to impeachment.
Donald Trump’s Very Bad Day
Trump-hating journalists jumped for joy when news broke that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts of criminal charges.
Cohen admitted to acts of tax evasion, bank fraud, and campaign finance violations.
However, it was his confession to evading campaign finance laws in paying off the women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump that drew the most attention.
In the plea agreement, Cohen stated he had made the payments “in coordination with and at the direction of a federal candidate for office”
Experts declare Donald Trump is the candidate Cohen was referring to.
Anti-Trump pundits predicted Congress impeaching Trump was right around the corner.
The Political World Responds
The media and Democrats joy was short lived.
Republicans pointed out that Donald Trump was still not implicated in any criminal activity.
Rudy Giuliani noted, “There is no allegation of any wrongdoing against the President in the government’s charges against Mr. Cohen. It is clear that, as the prosecutor noted, Mr. Cohen’s actions reflect a pattern of lies and dishonesty over a significant period of time.”
Former Bush administration National Security Council staffer Mike Doran explained that the charges against Cohen were minor.
Doran noted that the Obama administration committed the real crimes by conspiring against Trump during the election.
Doran tweeted:
The crime, if it was one, is minor. It pales in comparison to the crimes committed to prevent Trump’s election & to annul it after the fact, Those crimes threaten our democratic institutions, & their magnitude is compounded by the active efforts of the press to cover them up.

Senator Lindsey Graham pointed out that none of the charges prove collusion with Russia.
Graham tweeted:
The American legal system is working its will in both the #PaulManafort and #MichaelCohen cases.
Thus far, there have yet to be any charges or convictions for colluding with the Russian government by any member of the Trump campaign in the 2016 election.

Graham’s reaction shows that Republicans will stand by the President.
The South Carolina Senator is known as an unreliable Republican who sides with Democrats.
Will Congress Take Action?
Democrats will immediately push for impeaching the President after the election.
However, without the Republicans votes, they have no chance to convict the President.
As a result, Republicans standing by Trump takes removing him from office is off the table.
But Democrats won’t give up on their dream of impeaching Donald Trump.
If Congress refuses to impeach the President, anti-Trump forces will work to drive down his poll numbers.
Democrats believe if they can convince Americans that Trump is corrupt, they will vote him out of office in 2020.
The media parroting the narrative that everyone around Trump is a criminal will be the tactic by the left in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump supporters trust that the voters will see through this hit job and ultimately stand with the President.
