Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one about Cohen yesterday and part of it was there was so much information and bombshells that I wanted to wait to see the summary that Rachel did last night. There are a few things right off the top that jumped out at me…first, Don Jr. is in deep shit for signing one of the reimbursement checks given to Michael Cohen for paying off the women who had affairs with the idiot trump. Oh, and the older idiot signed one, too, and they are both felonies that will be charged at some point. So, little donnie, wipe that smug grin off your face…there is a prison in your future, just like daddy. Another interesting point is that the older idiot must have lied on his written answers to Mueller since he denied knowing about Wikileaks and their role in conspiring with trump when Cohen was in the room when Stone called and told trump that he had just talked to Assange and the stolen e-mails were coming…and trump said great! Another felony….oh, haven’t talked about bank fraud yet. When trying to get a loan from Deutsche Bank, trump and Cohen inflated trump’s assets to get them to approve the loan…and, even though trump didn’t get the loan, lying to get it is the same thing that Paul Manafort was convicted of and will spend the rest of his life in prison for. Is that enough? I think one of the reasons why trump and his cronies lied so much about their crimes is that they are ignorant of how the justice system works and thought that no one could care if they lied or scammed their way through life. This time, they are going to pay…and if trump was smart, which he isn’t, he would be negotiating his resignation to make the charges go away…but doubling down on his stupidity seems to be the only thing he knows how to do…keep it up idiot…impeach…

Michael Cohen…part 1
Well…just want to do a shorty on what we know so far from Michael Cohen’s testimony to the senate yesterday, and by his opening statement for the house committee he is testifying to at 10 this morning. While the senate testimony was private, a comment by senator Mark Warner gives an idea what to expect today when he just shook his head and said he’s never seen anything like it and it is much worse than he knew. Today’s testimony is going to focus on the continuous lies that trump has told to cover up his criminality…but there was one little nugget in there about Roger Stone where he called trump with Cohen in the room, put the phone on speaker, and proceeded to have Stone tell him he was in contact with Wikileaks and the stolen e-mails were on their way…can you say collusion, folks? So, I may do more of these as the testimony goes on or I may wait until it’s over since yesterday’s went over 10 hours and I need to watch Man U this afternoon….
Almost forgot…
Well….it has been such an out of sorts day today that I almost forgot to come back here for another one…I don’t really have any one big topic for this one but I do have a few comments that I wanted to make before the end of the day….okay…just didn’t want to get behind…at least it’s not a placeholder…or is it? Okay, the big week is here that we will see Michael Cohen testifying in front of 3 congressional committees, even one in public in the House on Wednesday where he has said that he has evidence that he is bringing to support his testimony…so, I am looking forward to that and may even watch it in real time….oh, and there is new reporting that idiot boy has told his team of lawyers to stay on even after Mueller completes his work and drops his report since the SDNY will still be working on trump’s crimes long after Mueller is retired again…and one of the lawyers admitted that idiot boy is facing a “legal hellscape” over the next few years…and that just makes me smile and I hope it does you, too. One last thing, there has been a concerted, coordinated attempt on the right to conflate the fact that none of the trump kids have been interviewed by either Mueller or the SDNY with their speculation that they are therefore innocent and investigations into them should stop. Now, I’m not a lawyer, but damn, don’t these people read the news or know anything about how investigations happen? The subjects of investigations are NEVER interviewed by the people investigating them….did you ever see them bring in Gotti for questioning? Or any high profile criminal? These folks are just whistling past the graveyard…or they are too dumb to understand they are toast….I’ll vote for dumb…impeach…..
Cohen WAS in Prague…
Well…as every day goes by, more information in the Steele dossier is confirmed and this last one just today is a blockbuster. Over the past two years, trump’s fixer/lawyer, Michael Cohen, has denied he was in Prague to meet with the Russians who were running the troll farms that were attacking Hillary during the campaign…but, just today, it was revealed that Cohen’s cell phone was pinging the cell towers near Prague during the time he has denied being there…and this proves he, or someone carrying his cell phone, was in Prague when Steele said he was. So now we know he lied about being in Prague, what else is he lying about? Steele reported in the dossier that the purpose of the meeting was to pay the Russians running those troll farms with campaign money for their efforts to smear Hillary and to boost Jill Stein to take away votes from Hillary….but Cohen denies that, too…or he did deny it…until Mueller got hold of him…I’ll bet he has spilled everything including the source of the money and that trump ordered the payment…after all, that was the way he ran his businesses and his affairs…he made all of the decisions about money…I can’t wait for next Thursday when we take over the House…trump is in for a world of hurt…impeach…
Cohen confirmed…
Well….a topic has finally fallen into my lap this afternoon and it is kind of a shocker….the parent company of the National Enquirer and it’s president, David Pecker, escaped prosecution today for conspiring with the trump campaign to silence one of the women whom trump had an affair with to affect the outcome of the election. This blows up the repub talking point that there was only Cohen lying that trump and his campaign broke the law by paying off these women to stay quiet until after the election…now the first piece of corroborating evidence was made public and yes, trump did commit two felonies by paying off these women…and the interesting thing is that the SDNY has decided that the cooperation that Pecker and the company has given was so valuable that they will face no charges for these crimes…this is called flipping, donnie, and it is going to bring you down…but one thing we have to remember is that this news makes it less likely that idiot boy will resign since being president is the only thing shielding him from an immediate perp walk for these two felonies that Michael Cohen is going to prison for…for 3 long years…and this is just the tip of the iceberg for trump…the meat of the Mueller investigation is still to come along with the SDNY investigation into money laundering that is currently ongoing….there is no way the idiot avoids prison…it’s just a matter of time….impeach…
There’s a perp walk coming…
Well….I wonder if the idiot trump really understands what happened yesterday? After his final tweet of the day where he thinks he was exonerated, it is abundantly clear that he has sunken into a pool of delusion and is completely detached from reality. What really happened and what is clear to everyone in the reality based world is that trump has been named by the SDNY as a felon who directed Michael Cohen to commit campaign finance crimes…and the key thing to remember is that this is not Mueller saying it…it is trump’s own justice department saying he’s a felon so the whole “illegal” Mueller investigation bleating that the idiot has done just doesn’t work here. No matter when trump gets out of office, whether by removal or by the ending of his term, there is a perp walk in his future…after all, Micheal Cohen is going to do 4 years in prison for these same crimes so there is no way the SDNY is going to let trump walk free and he can’t depend on a pardon to save his ass. This is just the start of the revelations of trump’s criminality and once the dems take control of the House in January, the shit is going to hit the fan for trump…it is going to be delicious watching the criminal in chief twist in the wind as it is found that he is the most criminal president in the history of the country…and if he actually could read, he would have plenty of time in prison to read all about it…impeach…
Trump directed a criminal conspiracy…
Well…the Cohen sentencing documents just dropped and the SDNY has what should be a bombshell…that the idiot trump “directed a criminal conspiracy” to violate federal election laws to increase his odds of winning the presidency by deceiving voters. Where’s your witch hunt now donnie? There is evidence that trump is and was a felon who cheated to “win” the election…yep, read that one again…in the first case coming from one of his cronies, trump is accused of being a cheating felon…I wonder who will lead the chants of “lock him up”? Will this matter to the repubs? Not one bit if their actions to this point are any indication…the thing to remember is that this isn’t even part of the Russia investigation, this is a separate crime that trump committed while he was conspiring with the Russians. So, what will happen now? Will the repubs do anything now that they have the evidence that trump is a felon? I’m going to stop here and wait for the Manafort sentencing documents to drop…and maybe that will make trump a multiple felon….should we start a trump felony count? That may be fun…impeach…
Restoring the rule of law…
Well…with all of the fireworks that have been going off in the Mueller investigation and the emphasis on who is a crook and what crimes they committed, one really important facet of the investigation has been overlooked…that what Mueller is really doing is trying to restore the rule of law in this country that has been all but destroyed by the repubs over the past few years. As I’ve written before, the repubs have been acting like the laws of this country don’t apply to them and the constitution is just for suckers unless they can use it to attack people they don’t like…but now, with the Cohen guilty plea yesterday of lying to Congress, Mueller has signaled that all of the laws of this country are to be followed or there will be consequences…and guess who that puts right in the crosshairs of Mueller and the dem congress in January? Yep, Donnie Jr. and Jeff Sessions to name just a couple…but also almost every other trump associate who testified to support the trump lies about Russia and the campaign. So, there are going to be a lot of things to look forward to in the next month or so…meltdowns of idiot boy are going to be delicious…impeach…
This is what happens when an idiot thinks he’s a genius…
Well…haven’t been watching much news lately, preferring to read print instead but last night I turned on Rachel since there was nothing good on tv and, without cocktails, I get bored pretty easily. It was an interesting show comparing what crimes Nixon was impeached for to what the idiot trump has been doing since he was installed. The conclusion was that trump is much, much worse…attempting to obstruct justice on an almost hourly basis and using the same tactics as Nixon did to subvert the Justice Department. One of the details of obstruction, and written right into the law, is dangling a pardon in front of people who are essential to the investigation into crimes committed by the president…something that idiot boy does on a daily basis and especially in regard to Paul Manafort. With it being revealed that Manfort blew up his plea agreement with Mueller by lying to and spying on Mueller and his investigation, I can see trump sitting in the WH thinking he is the most clever person in the world by getting Manafort to do that…but, Mueller is playing eleventy dimension chess while trump is playing checkers….there was a reason that none of the past few days revelations came out until trump had submitted his answers to Mueller’s questions…Mueller knew that Manafort was spying and lying and he knew that with the coordination between trump’s and Manfort’s lawyers, he had the evidence that trump was committing perjury in those answers…this was all because trump is an idiot who thinks he is a genius and truly believed that he was smarter than Mueller…and everyone who has ever listened to trump knows that is a huge laugh. Today, the dominoes continued to tumble with the pleas of Michael Cohen to many more crimes that he did for trump…and, with 70 hours more testimony, Cohen has given Mueller what must be getting close to being the final nails in trump’s coffin. No matter what trump wishes for, the Mueller investigation is not winding down but speeding up and it looks like the timing of the release of the report should be just when the dems take charge of the House and can use the information to reveal just how big a bag of crooks that trump and his cronies are….and I just can’t wait…impeach…
Starting to love news dump Fridays…
Well…I’ll go out on a limb here and say that the end is near for trump…and what has me thinking that is that the long time CFO of the trump organization, Allen Weisselberg, who was implicated on one of Michael Cohen’s tapes as being involved with the same two campaign finance felonies as Cohen, was granted immunity from prosecution in the Cohen case….and he has already been questioned by a grand jury. I’m really not sure if his immunity is limited to the Cohen case, but, even more than Cohen, Weisselberg knows where all the skeletons are buried and was in the middle of all of trump’s “miracle” recoveries when he was almost broke…and now, I’m sure the prosecutors at the SDNY have their own set of questions for Weissleberg since he was the CFO of the trump foundation when it was being used as a personal slush fund for the idiot trump and when it also funneled money to the trump campaign. So, we are so much closer to the trump crime family going down, finally, for their crimes….get the orange jump suits ready…it’s going to be an interesting day…impeach…
