RUSH: Im sorry. Ive gotta deal with something CNN has been doing the past couple of days, CNN and the Drive-By Media. And its time to once again interject a little common sense here.
As Im sure you know, CNN has been breathlessly reporting that Michael Cohen, all these tapes with Trump and Trump said all these incriminating things and then that Michael Cohen said that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting that his son took with the Russian honey pot and all of that and that Trump has denied knowing anything.
By the way, Cohen doesnt have any evidence for this. He has literally no evidence, and even CNNs been forced to admit this. But let me just try to cause you to have no concern about this. Robert Mueller is relying so little on Cohen that he gave that case to the Southern District of New York. The U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York has the Cohen case, not Mueller. If Cohen had anything that would help Mueller do anything with Trump, he wouldnt have handed off the case.
So what Cohen is doing here is trying to get the best deal he can get from the U.S. attorneys office, Southern District of New York. Hes trying to make it look like hes got all kinds of dope on Trump and hed be willing to give it up. But the thing that you have to realize here is very simple. This is not Muellers case. He gave it away. He gave it away weeks ago. He transferred anything to do with Cohen to the Southern District of New York like hes done with pretty much every other charge that he has made in this case. Hes sent it off to some other court, some other jurisdiction.
The other thing that theyre trying to make hay about is Trump and Mueller all of a sudden interested in Trumps tweets. Its preposterous. I dont know where CNN is getting its information, whos leaking to them, but Donald Trump has been tweeting since his campaign. The idea that Robert Mueller just now got interested in em? I mean, if that were true and it isnt but if it were true it would mean that Mueller doesnt have anything. But the idea that Muellers been ignoring these tweets all this time?
But about the tweets. The tweets are not evidence. The tweets dont show anything. Theyre nothing more than what Trumps thinking or saying at the time. Theres nothing actionable in the tweets. This is like trying to say that exit poll results count more than real votes. Theres nothing here.
In fact, if any of you are still concerned about this, there isnt going to be an indictment of Donald Trump from the special counsel. The only concern that everybody should have about this is impeachment. Thats where this investigation has always been going. And this investigations phony anyway. The Mueller investigation is an offshoot of all of the illegality that took place on the Democrat side and on the Hillary side.
It is simply to cover up all of that, because, remember, when this campaign began, the Department of Justice, the Democrat Party and everybody in the Obama apparatus had to make sure that Hillary was exonerated of any crimes involving her illegal server and trafficking in classified data, and all of this has been about exonerating her and framing Donald Trump.
But there isnt gonna be any indictment of Trump, he hasnt obstructed justice, he hasnt colluded, and so all theres gonna be is a report thats gonna question Trumps fitness, maybe his thinking, maybe his reactions, and it will be setting up an impeachment proceeding if the Democrats win the House. And as an ancillary thing, maybe theyre gonna try to once again drive Trumps approval numbers down.
But this stuff that CNNs hyperventilating with today over Cohen, you just need to stop and think, its not even Muellers case. Oh. And speaking of that. I have a piece here by Julian Zelizer, CNN political analyst. Trump Sounds Normal in Private. Its All an Act.
CNN thinks they figured Trump out. They have been listening to the tapes with Trump on the phone and Trump talking to Cohen. And they have concluded that he sounds normal as anybody else does on the phone. He doesnt sound crazy. He doesnt sound mean. He doesnt sound insane. And so obviously the Trump that appears on TV is acting.
And you know why hes acting? Because he knows that you, his supporters, are a bunch of lamebrain idiots that he has to act for. He has to perform in such a way to make you think that he is a continuing victim, that everybodys out to get him. He has to talk in these mean-spirited, bigoted ways to relate to you. Oh, yeah. Thats CNNs latest big discovery.
Reading anything into a short, grainy tape recording is difficult. But from the moment that CNNs Chris Cuomo shared one of the Michael Cohen tapes, experts have sliced and diced the audio to figure out exactly what then-candidate Donald Trump knew about a payment to keep his alleged affair with former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal off the front pages.
Unlike the Democrat Media, which can only weave news stories, the Democrat House will generate an endless list of subpoenas, effectively freezing the presidency....
Wealthy people need various attorney’s with different skill sets. Cohen happens to be Trump’s “Better Call Saul” attorney.
President Trump sounds normal all of the time.. Obama sounded like a blabbering idiot when he wasn’t on teleprompter.
POTUS uses that communication method to get in front of CNN and like MSM to get the truth out before those entities can twist and muddle the facts.....Andrea Mitchel and Morning Joe come to mind as just the tip of the lying MSM and college/university professors false news speak.....
Ha.. They will never get away with that.
And if the democRATS don’t win back the House, then all of this well-thought out doomsday scenario would not happen or matter.
I’ve been too busy this week to keep up with the Cohen stuff. But has Cohan done or said anything that actually hurts Trump? Or is he being subtly pro-Trump by putting out little tidbits of nothing here and there that the media play up like they’re big deals...only for it to be nothing that would matter legally. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mueller has scared Cohen enough to turn on Trump. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if Cohen is just playing along in a way that doesn’t hurt his client (which keeps his street cred up for future clients).
President Trump sounds normal all of the time.. Obama sounded like a blabbering idiot when he wasnt on teleprompter.
NEVER TRUST A DEMOCRAT!!! EVER!!
You mean a criminal, criminal attorney?
Robert Duvall should visit Cohen and tell him how much better it would be to take a hot Bath and do the right thing.
Either that, or take him out Fishing in a Boat on Lake Tahoe.
Minus Jimmy McGill’s good-heartedness.
“Hes trying to make it look like hes got all kinds of dope on Trump and hed be willing to give it up.”
Trump must be the cleanest politician that has come along since George Washington. 90% of the politicians in DC would have been gone long ago under that kind of scrutiny.
Democrat Impeachment talk dooms their party because it incentivizes Trump to boom the economy.
Their own behavior makes Dems into FOOLS.
Very simply if there were anything at all that was going to bring Trump down, it would have been leaked months ago to every press outlet in the world - not to worry.....

Agree
BUT
When Lanny Davis (either the best case of getting the fox to guard the henhouse OR DJT is a candidate for a Darwin Award(living side) for not distancing himself from Cohen the day he hired the WJC LACKEY Lanny Davis to represent him. Then again, ‘crooked lawyers’ know who the best ‘crooked lawyers’ are when it comes to their own ass.
The straw to break the camels back will be when Cohen & Davis team up to represent Stormy & the Playboy model - that move would more than likely get them both a ‘vacation’ in Fort Marcy Park.
This Cohen jerk has the same goofy facial expression that Gomer Pyle had on the Andy Griffith show. Kind of a stupid hang-dog expression. Probably a reflection of his IQ!
Yes, I too am flabbergasted by the “Fox in the Henhouse” phenomenon among high profile people connected with Trump and those in the Republican circle - started with Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner hiring lawyer Abbe Lowell to represent him - Lowell, like Davis, had represented a number of big-name Democrats in the past - like Bob Menendez and John Edwards - are there really no brilliant Republican lawyers to defend our side? - people who aren’t likely to use their position to gain inside information that will eventually be used to try to destroy the party - just one more hurdle.....
