\nO\u2019Donnell, a left-wing pundit who used to work as an aide to former Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY), said that if Trump lost the 2016 election to Hillary Clinton, prosecutors would be going after him like they are going after President Trump\u2019s former lawyer, Michael Cohen.
\u201cIf Donald Trump lost the election and federal prosecutors were pursuing this same case, he would be pursuing exactly the same consequences as Michael Cohen,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said on the Last Word Friday night. \u201cHe would be charged with exactly the same two campaign finance violation crimes for arranging secret payments to two women during the campaign to buy their silence about their sexual affairs with Donald Trump.\u201d
\u201cAnd so if history means anything in the Trump era, if precedent means anything in the Trump era, Donald Trump will be, must be, impeached because of the crimes prosecutors say he committed in the Michael Cohen case,\u201d he added.
O\u2019Donnell\u2019s comments came after federal prosecutors recommended Cohen serve \u201csubstantial\u201d prison time for his crimes, even though he cooperated with the Mueller investigation.
O\u2019Donnell had called for Trump\u2019s impeachment on other occasions, including last Monday when he argued that Trump\u2019s tweets criticizing Mueller are attempts to obstruct justice.<\/p>\n
