Barr did not misrepresent the results,

Read my linked article.

“The Court cannot reconcile certain public representations made by Attorney General Barr with the findings in the Mueller Report,” wrote Walton, an appointee of President George W. Bush.

“The inconsistencies between Attorney General Barr’s statements, made at a time when the public did not have access to the redacted version of the Mueller Report to assess the veracity of his statements, and portions of the redacted version of the Mueller Report that conflict with those statements cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary,” the judge added.

which found the accusations to be false.

No, it found that Trump committed crimes

Again, Barr did not make the redactions.

Again, read my link. I'm referring to the out of context releases made by Barr prior to the release of the report.

Yes, it was arranged before his candidacy.

It was paid in October 2016, a month before the election.

How long before his candidacy do you claim it was arranged?

Why did it take so long for Trump to get the payment to Daniels?

No, Cohen pleading guilty for some slimey deal and kickbacks, ensured nothing was established in court.

You'll need to show a whole lot of proof of that. He got a three years sentence, and used to be a lawyer. It's difficult to imagine what kickbacks would make that worthwhile.

Not going to prison for 15+ years

Lawyers do shitty lawyer things. He definitely wasn't a respectable professional lawyer.

So your proof that "No, Cohen pleading guilty for some slimey deal and kickbacks, ensured nothing was established in court."

Is, in it's entirety, "He did it to get out of something else he did that came with a 15 year sentence, which we know he did because he did shitty things".

Is that right?

I'm saying he is a slimy crooked lawyer, who fucked Trump over, by having done a bunch of dumb petty stuff instead of being a good lawyer for Trump. This put Cohen in a vulnerable position to be blackmailed and manipulated. Now Cohen, being a slimeball, will say anything to keep from getting the book thrown at him for, what is likely a laundry list of little petty bullshit that he knew better than.

You can't have any skeletons in your closet, if you are going to be anything but a liability to someone as persecuted as Trump.

Meanwhile, back in reality, the slimy stuff he did, he did with and for Trump.

Maybe, maybe not. We don't know of any slimy stuff he did for Trump.

Hiding his payment to stormy daniels as a retainer?

His retainer to his lawyer was publicly disclosed; there was no 'hiding' of anything....except in the convoluted conspiracy theory, that requires you to read Trump's mind and project unverifiable personal motivations of assumed malicious intent, you know, standard gaslighting; the core of this insane criminal case.
