Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former longtime personal attorney, tentatively reaches a plea deal

I've read/heard that from the "get Trump" talking heads, and the click bait driven liberal MSM, but it seems at this point it's either pure conjecture, or just wishful thinking.

 

I can't get my brain to think like you, so I can't grasp how you reached that conclusion.

The anal probe of Cohen found outside activities that look like they will put him in jail.

What does that have to do with Russia?

 

I tend to agree Cohen's balls in a vice compelled him to say whatever he was coached to admit.

 

Of course I have an argument, and you should look up the definition of contract.

Stock up on First Aid supplies Tom, I'm guessing by your path here you're going to need them.

 

Yeah, I noticed that too.... there were a few brave souls on here trying to counteract the flood with a sponge, but to no obvious effect... I suspect they'll be more organized today, so expect some push back, probably more on the Manafort side than the Cohen side.

I really need to go figure out who Mollie Tibbetts is later on today, but I'm not sure she needed 3 separate threads on the first page.

EDIT - I think it's reasonable to expect Trump to take away the security clearance of J. Edgar Hoover today.

 

no one got convicted, its a plea deal

 

It's perfectly legal to pay someone not to tell a story, people do it all the time. Hell they were trying to hide it so much they wrote up a legal contract. Happens everyday just because these guys want trump so bad they call this a campaign contribution, doesn't make it so. He had done it before and it was legal he then billed the Trump organization, yea good luck with this one.

 

Point taken.

And people should take into account that very fact.

Should anyone expect someone to turn down a script that could lead to lighter sentence?

 

Can you say "BLATANTLY CORRUPT DOUBLE STANDARD?"

Etc., etc., etc.

Gee....It's almost like THERE'S A"DOUBLE STANDARD" at work here, isn't it?

 

I sure hope that this is meant to be sarcastic.

 

Does this all mean that Trump has been "exonerated" for the 512th time??
