“We started with collusion,” the president said, per the Times, citing several witnesses. “How did we end up here?”

You won. Hillary lost.

Why is the Manafort conviction reported as hurting Trump when there is no connection? Of course I know the answer.

“Trump’s lawyers argued privately that Cohen’s plea “was a punch but not a knockout blow.”

A punch? It was more like a fart.

The Times is just making s*** up again.

Simple - Jeff Sessions ducked his responsibility and allowed a special prosecutor to be appointed. Special prosecutors go on fishing expeditions - the point of this exercise was never to find any actual evidence of collusion with the Russians, it was to harass the Trump administration from day one, get people to fumble under oath and obtain perjury charges, and unearth anything else that might turn up.

It’s just puffery. Trump has zilch to worry about. If you want to address this specific allegation head-on: Trump had $480,000 retainer with Cohen. Cohen was his legal representative. Cohen says Trump told him to pay Daniels. So Cohen did not use his own money, he used Trump’s retainer, and therefor it could not be construed as a donation. So Cohen is pleading guilty to a crime he did not commit.

And there are many other ways to challenge this particular allegation as well.

But Trump doesn’t have to address the charges. And he hasn’t. Because no matter his guilt or innocent he cannot be charged with the crime anyway. The only way to get him is through Congress and the Senate and that just isn’t going to happen - not with these charges, anyway.

But Mueller is desperate to tie some kind of crime to Trump. So he got Cohen to plead guilty to this campaign finance crime simply to make the argument that Trump broke the law. And one of the few ways to break attorney-client privilege is when the client and attorney both commit the same crime together. So it is a huuuuge stretch, but by getting Cohen to cop to this campaign plea Mueller is trying to break the lawyer-client privilege and of course try to paint Trump with the same brush. IMO it won’t work. Very weak. If this is the best they got, then it is over.

Now, time for payback.

President Trump reportedly was somber following his former attorney Michael Cohen’s guilty plea on Tuesday and “appeared to realize” the seriousness of the situation, according to a New York Times report.

What kind of moron would believe this? Trump doesn't realize what's going on? Hilariously fake.

They are desperately trying to put a Watergate pall on the Whitehouse. Trump’s comment was not morose...it was a fighting comment. It’s ridiculous.

I often wonder who this style of fake news is geared to. Obviously democrats, but I always picture a lonely women with cats.

Fake news.

If anyone thought that the FBI raided Cohen to get evidence of a payoff to Stormy Daniels I have a Mexican timeshare with your name on it.

Trust Sessions.

Listen to the two clips here carefully. No, that’s not an official Sessions Twitter account.

I am surprised they didn’t describe it this way.

“Trump had a defeated mood about him. I could sense the inevitable dread of impeachment eating at him” said one witness. “I heard him mumble “it’s all over now” said another reliable witness.

Trump doesn’t understand just how viscious and low are the Clintons. Just how 3rd world dictator they are.

So now the word is that Mueller is getting ready to indict DJT Junior because Mueller has testimony from someone else (who is lying, of course) that contradicts Junior’s testimony about his Trump Tower meeting, and can now indict Junior for “lying to the Special Counsel”.

If Mueller indicts Junior, maybe, just maybe that will be one bridge too far for POTUS, and he will finally, FINALLY, fire and arrest them all. Gitmo is calling!!

I know POTUS is likely waiting until after the midterms to make his moves, but if Mueller’s October surprise is a Junior indictment, we may see action sooner rather than later.
