I bet that Cohen is so corrupt he got sexual favors from Stormy and Karen. I bet it is on the tapes.

That’s just it. Despite all the “Cohen gonna get Drumpf” nonsense, Cohen had nothing, tried to puff himself up as having something, then bore the consequences.

If Muller had not abused his power to raid the Presidents lawyer would all this have been discovered? Seems like all of this is the fruit of a poisonous tree.

You cannot use the testimony of a known liar in a courtroom where there will be cross examination, but you can surely use his words in a REPORT which is what a special prosecutor will write. This entire witch hunt is Stalinist.

ICYMI, our elections are a joke. The rule of law is DEAD. We have an irreparably corrupt stasi state in the hands of the radical left and a republican party that genuflects to it.

It will be a miracle if Trump finishes out his term much less win a 2020 ‘election’.

New York Southern District is still federal, isn't it?

That means Cohen can hope for a pardon from the next Democrat President.

Special Counsel Mueller finally acknowledges the president's personal lawyer never actually made contact with Putin or even Putin's press secretary in the defunct Moscow real estate project

Mueller has known that for a long time. Glad he finally has to acknowledge it. The entire thing is reprehensible.

What??? But...but...he cooperated!! NOW what’s Michael going to do?
Cohen’s a RAT, but Mueller’s worse than a rat. He has a history of getting people imprisoned so he can let the real criminals walk. Disgusting!

as I read it, NOT directed by Trump

To the contrary, the memo claims "with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of (Donald Trump)".

Then later, they claim by his plot to "silence two women", "Cohen deceived the voting public by hiding alleged facts that he believed would have had a substantial effect on the election". In other words, they are building a case that it wasn't the Russians who influenced the election, it was Cohen and Trump through an illegal scheme to silence women (who MUST be believed!).

I still don't understand the following:
1. Why Popadopolous (sic), Flynn, Manafort, Cohen did not fight Mueller's subpoenas. They weren't accused of a crime as yet.
2. Why they didn't they claim the the 5th or just say "I can't recall." in the interviews.
3. Why they lied and admitted to it later for a deal. Other than Flynn, others are going to jail even after immunity when they lied again. These are our brightest in DC?

Even I know interrogators continue to phrase questions in different ways to catch someone re-phrasing their own answers. That equates to lying/perjury. Detectives do it every day in local municipalities. Don't ever talk to a LEO without an attorney, not ever.

I watch the show "Cops" often, and the arresting street LEO's ask the perp many times what occurred. Once the perp answers in a different way, the cuffs go on. Of course, most of those trash perps are lying from the start. My Wife and I get so many laughs with the perps' excuses.
"I just bought this car yesterday, no, don't know his name."
"I don't know how that got in my pants. Or, it's not my pants. Or someone borrowed them"
"That's not my purse." ID inside shows otherwise.
"I just picked her up to give her a ride."
"She pushed me first."
"I didn't pull over because I was afraid." Used constantly for chases.
"I didn't know he had those drugs." Found within reach of the driver.

Fun stuff to watch.

Trump will do both.

You seem to forget that in a LANDSLIDE Richard Nixon’s Republicans did not come close to winning the House; that in a landslide Ronald Reagan in 1980 only gained 34 (less than the Ds did this time) and were 120 short of a majority, or that in 1982 (right where Trump is) the Ds gained 26 seats, not far from where this election turned out.

This was pretty standard stuff, even for very, very popular presidents. Note that in the senate we gained 3, should have had 4-6 if not for weak candidates. That’s cuz people see senators and presidents as “national” and congresscritters (still) as “local.”

“Now commie media is running with how Russia “tried” contacting the Trump campaign as far back as 2015”

Of course they are. And they lead with Trump’s personal lawyer or Trump’s ex lawyer. Everyone on this thread is missing the point about what Mueller is doing and why he’s doing it. Guilt by association. Once Trump is thoroughly discredited, he’ll be easier to impeach and then removed when Mueller drops his report to the new marxist controlled congress.

Writers are really able to slant their emphasis. This article says that after 19 interviews the filing's lengthy redactions also underscore how much Mueller has yet to reveal. Uh, maybe all those redactions underscore how much Meuller wants to hide about the illegal or unethical doings of his own prosecutorial team.

Ann Coulter is right. Trump barely won over Hillary rotten Clinton in 2016. A women with a resume of treason, corruption, murders, felonies, satanism, and pedophilia.

With the floods of illegals coming in, anchor babies turing 18, the outright election fraud by the dems, the out of control mueller coup, the fakestream media, the new marxist controlled house, and the ‘republican’ party fighting against Trump, he doesn’t stand a chance in 2020.

Even if he built the wall and called out the marines on the swamp[What every Trump supporter wants him to do], he couldn’t win against those odds.

Russia wanted contact with the Trump campaign..Trump campaign said HECK NO and never returned the contact, END OF STORY..but of course according to commie news is that Russia even “TRIED” contacting the Trump campaign. Geez people try to make contact with campaigns all the time, if the other side does NOT respond what’s the story here
