What doesn't make sense is that Cohen has just been named official lawyer to the president or official counsel, then for whatever reason he decides to make a single recording of this issue, where he actually paid with his own money. The only one cohen ever made after he got the promotion of a lifetime. Who screws their boss over after a seat at the whitehouse.

He would have been jailed for election fraud before he walked in the WH if he has used cash to hush up scandals during an election campaign, hence the setting up of a phony company etc to cover up that fraud. Any spending during a campaign must be declared. Rules is rules.
