Sounds like Mueller has been working with a real piece of work, doesn't it? Cohen is dirty as can be, yet Mueller and his narrative pimps trust him. Sad.

Paying someone hush money, so long as it is not paying them to keep them quiet about a crime, is not a crime. Adultery is no longer a crime, so while I am very sure a number of people wish a crime had taken place here, none did. Covering up something prior to an election... also not a crime.
I guess I should have expected this type of reaction on this site.
So your defense is just denial. So how well do you think that is going to work out for the president? Do you honestly believe he can just tell the prosecutors “I don’t think that’s a crime, go away!”
Yep, let’s see how well that defense works out.
Well, pointing out the fact that the alleged act does not violate any criminal statute or federal regulation is in fact an excellent legal defense.

The key elements of the memo are about the Russian links. They are that Cohen:
* "Provided information about his own contacts with Russian interests during the campaign and discussions with others in the course of making those contacts"
* "Also provided information about attempts by other Russian nationals to reach the campaign"
*Spoke to "a Russian national who claimed to be a 'trusted person' in the Russian Federation who could offer the campaign 'political synergy' and 'synergy on a government level'". This person proposed a meeting between Individual 1 (previously identified by Cohen as Mr Trump) and the Russian president, saying it could have a "phenomenal" impact "not only in political but in a business dimension as well". The meeting did not take place
*Provided "relevant and useful information concerning his contacts with persons connected to the White House during the 2017-2018 time period
... snip ...
The president is also once again implicated in the campaign finance charges against Cohen.
The New York prosecutors state that Mr Trump's lawyer acted to silence two women who claim they had affairs with Mr Trump in order to "influence the 2016 presidential election". What's more, Cohen "acted in co-ordination with and at the direction of Individual 1".

That "crime" is imaginary. Cohen's actual crime was lying to investigators. Multiple counts of it prior to him turning into a willing Mueller desired narrative puppet.
And as for Russia its not illegal for them to assist in a presidential election.

It is indeed highly illegal for a compaign team to accept outside help from a foreign entity
Go look it up, educate yourself, then come back with something better ...
