Michael Cohen Secretly Taped Trump Discussing Payment to Playboy Model

[Seshmeister]

BOOM!

The snake has been turned...

Lanny Davis, who was hired by Mr Cohen last month, told National Public Radio Mr Trump's former attorney would "never" accept a pardon from "a man that he considers to be a corrupt and a dangerous person".

The unexpected statement comes as yet another blow to Mr Trump's chances of extricating himself from what is developing into a legal minefield.

Mr Davis has said his client “has information” on the president that would interest special counsel Robert Mueller, investigating possible links between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Asked on CNN whether his client would speak to Mr Mueller, Mr Davis said that: “I do believe that he has information about Mr Trump that would be of interest both in Washington as well as New York state.

“I know that he wants to tell the truth about Mr Trump and when he first came to me we had long conversations about his views, about the suitability of Mr Trump to be president of the United States, and I believe that Michael Cohen is motivated for his country as well as concern about his family.

Wow took a rare look at Fox News there - it is basically the official Trump TV isn't it. Loved the irony of them saying 'Cohen has lied in front of the American people who could possibly take him seriously now?'

That Harris Faulkner at least makes a change from the usual blondes, good for 52 but insanely biased for a so called news channel.

Trumps campaign manager has been found guilty of bank fraud, tax fraud and failure to report a foreign bank account.

His personal lawyer pled guilty to eight federal crimes on Tuesday and said Trump had directed him to make two hush-money payments to women in violation of campaign finance laws.

Trump has said at a news conference that he takes Putins word over the whole of the US intelligence services.

So I guess you are taking the Rudy approach that 'Truth isn't truth'?

Giuliani admitted the infamous meeting at Trump Tower was “originally for the purpose” of getting damaging intel on Clinton.

That is collusion with the Russians. His own lawyer has already admitted it on TV.

It's a whole lot of noise about nothing. Nothing more than a bunch of Washington insiders spraying stink in the air to distract the public from their own crimes and to discourage anyone outside of their little insiders club from running for the presidency. That's what this is all about. Remember this started as an investigation on Russian collusion. They couldn't find anything so they just kept digging for any kind of dirt they could find. Now we are investigating Washington madam's, porn stars, and Playboy playmates. Just the path the investigation has taken proves the thing is a joke. Trump isn't liable for his campaign manager's crimes. Paying the hush money had nothing to do with the campaign at all. This is all a red herring to distract the public from the false dossier and all the dirty dealings going on inside the Justice Department and FBI to stop an outsider from being president.

This has nothing to do with Donald Trump. This has everything to do with keeping people they want out of the presidency out. In the last election there were two independent candidates that had a shot at winning the presidency. Listen to the Strzok tapes. He was going to make sure neither Trump or Sanders were going to be president. Well the Democrat Party did Bernie in. Trump made it to the presidency. Now they are trying to get rid of him and all they have is a campaign manager that cheated on his taxes way before he ever worked for Trump and a lawyer that paid some hush money that has nothing to do with campaign finances.

It's all hype. It's all distraction. I suggest we look into who was selling our uranium to the Russians and who was involved in all of that. Funny. It's some of the people involved in the Mueller investigation. Now if you were in their shoes you would be doing the same thing hoping to avoid and investigation on you.

I don't buy into the Rudy approach... there are some key facts with the Manafort conviction though, that can't be tied to the Trump campaign no matter how you twist it. All the bank/tax fraud crap occurred years before Trump was a candidate and none of it is even remotely connected to the 2 months Manafort was with the campaign.

I'm not sure about the Cohen plea and if the hush-money payments fall into a campaign finance violation. I've watched a couple of interviews with various "legal" experts and don't know enough about the fine points to say one way or another...

Not sure why the "Trump Tower" meeting with that Russian woman continues to be such a big deal. It happened... so far the only consequence that seems possible is someone... most like likely Trump Jr and the son-in-law might be implicated in lying about it. But nothing about that meeting influenced the election nor was criminal in nature. All involved were guilty of being a part of stupid crap... but none of it amounts to having any proven impact to the final election results. Give them all dumbass participation awards and move on...

More importantly this whole investigation started as trying to show the election of Donald Trump was not valid due to Russian collusion. They could not find anything so they kept trying to find any dirt anywhere. They found a campaign manager who didn't pay his taxes on work he did that has nothing to do with Trump. They found a lawyer paying some hush money which really has nothing to do with campaign finance since no funds from the campaign were used. This is a bigger story than Strzork and his lover in the FBI colluding to keep Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump from being president? I would say the real corruption is in the FBI and Justice Department. Are we talking about that? There's real evidence there. No. The news media is more interested in porn stars. Washington madams and former Playboy playmates. I guess they figure the public is more interested in that stuff. Oh my gosh. Trump might have banged some skanks and his campaign manager was a crook. Impeach him now! It's all a joke.

It's all a nothing burger. If anything. If you haven't paid your taxes don't work on the campaign of an outsider candidate that wins the presidency. Work for an insider. You will never be investigated. Haha!

[Nitro Express]

Oh well. Omarossa says The Donald is sexually obsessed with his daughter Ivanka. Maybe some incest going on there. Maybe Ivanka's kids are not Jared's but Donald's. Mueller needs to investigate that.

[Nitro Express]

The whole investigation at this point is to create negative noise before the November elections in an attempt to hurt the Republicans. Right now Trump's approval rating is around 50%. In reality the only thing that is going to hurt Trump is a downturn in the economy. If the economy keeps doing well Trump is fine. If the Republicans do well in November you will see Mueller resign and the investigation fade away and be forgotten. It's really just a political slander attempt at this point rather than a real investigation on anything. The skunks will spray stink hard and heavy until November.

That is collusion with the Russians.

Afraid not slave SESH What that is stands as being nothing more than Trump sucking Putin dick for favors. No question Putin has a lot on Trump that could possibly cost him a great deal financially but never destroy him completely. Seeking dirt on Clinton is not all that hard to do but the F A T Orange Blunder in his gross stupidity never realized he did not need Putin to do so. The F A T Orange Blunder's imbecilic behavior and increasing mental illness has lead him to believe Putin knows what's best for him. That to is hardly collusion unless the F A T Orange Blunder is not only giving Putin and the FSB confidential and top secret information in which case is has gone from collusion to absolute treason which I believe Trump has committed.

The economy has nothing to do with the mid-terms. It never has.

That's completely clearly not true since it was a letter from the Director of the FBI a week before the election which made Trump president. A letter making allegations which came to absolutely nothing.

Right now Trump's approval rating is around 50%.

Probably in a single dodgy poll for example one using landlines during the day getting old people.

His average rating was standing at around 42% and that's before this weeks stuff. It even being 42% to be honest is a pretty fucking shocking indictment of the American public as well as showing how powerful having a propaganda TV News and who knows what else social media campaign.

You really show how delusional you are by making that statement. Go ahead and have your fantasies in your little echo chamber.

Look. I've been hearing how this guy had no chance of winning the election and how his "grab her by the pussy" statement just ruined his campaign and then it's he's really not our president the election was rigged and his popularity isn't what they say. It never stops. Watch. The guy willl finish two whole terms and people will say, he never was president. It all was an illusion.

The Democrats would have a chance if they offered real solutions to real problems but they don't. It's all bash Trump and that's all your hear. For us not in the echo chamber it gets old. Try having some competent leadership and some workable strategies that result in real solutions. Most of us are busy and when we see an investigation on campaign rigging go on for two years and end up on hush money and some campaign manager not paying his taxes because they couldn't find any Russian collusion we figure ah, Mueller doesn't have shit. It's that simple.

It's all sore losers still crying and scared criminal insiders worried their crimes might be discovered because they no longer have a buddy in the Executive Branch. Call it Fear and Loathing in Washington DC. It's what it is.

The first collusion trial is next month.
