Michael Cohen to Plead Guilty to Charge in Mueller Investigation

[THEUniversityofNevada]

OP, I admire your grit but Trump was right when he said that he could murder someone in Time Square and his supporters wouldn’t care. 

To Republicans, the only thing more dangerous to America than their fellow Progressive Americans are Muslims and Migrant Children.

There is literally nothing that Trump could be guilty of that would change that fact.

From the information filed by Mueller in the plea action it is pretty clear Trump was working very hard to make money in Russia at the very same time he was campaigning as the Republican nominee for president.  No wonder Putin and the Saudi crown prince exchanged high 5's in Buenos Aires yesterday.  They bought and paid for Trump.

Trump's comment about being able to kill someone and get away with it is too tame.  In fact, Trump could chop off the head of a 3 month old baby in the middle of the street and his supporters would cheer him on.  That is how much they value money over humanity.

I think an interesting question is - To what extent are the hardcore Trump supporters tied to the fear of liberals and immigrants, and to what extent are they tied to Trump's cult of personality? Hypothetically, if Trump won re-election and the house and senate went Democrat, and Trump swung wildly toward a progressive agenda (let's say more govt funding on health care, easing up on immigration stuff and further embracing criminal justice reform) for his own ego reasons, would those people follow him because he's doing it, or would they abandon him?

Hypothetically, if pigs had wings they could fly.

Paul Manafort interview denying Trumps business relationships with Russian oligarchs starts about the 1:30 mark. He is the worst liar ever.

 

"That's what he said, uh, that's what I said. That's what our position is."

The guy's a blithering idiot who is going to refuse to cooperate with Mueller, be tried and convicted but then not receive the pardon Fakeprez has been dangling out there publicly and so spend the majority of the time he has left on this planet incarcerated. Maybe he can spend the time writing a book like "I Want to Tell You." It would undoubtedly also be a big seller (maybe 2,000 or so in sales) while being similarly persuasive at convincing everybody of his innocence.

Quote

Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney for President Donald Trump who is now a key witness in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, was under the impression Trump would offer him a pardon in exchange for staying on message in support of the President in discussions with federal prosecutors, according to two sources.

After a March 2018 visit to Mar-a-Lago, the President's private club in Florida, Cohen returned to New York believing that his former boss would protect him if he faced any charges for sticking to his story about the 2016 payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, according to one source with knowledge. Trump was also at Mar-a-Lago at the time of Cohen's visit.

Another source said that after the April 2018 FBI raid on Cohen's office and home, people close to the President assured Cohen that Trump would take care of him. And Cohen believed that meant that the President would offer him a pardon if he stayed on message. It is unclear who specifically reached out to Cohen.
