Cohen will sing to the staties because he is in deep deep doo doo with them. It may be even worse than his federal troubles.

I sure hope that Michael Cohen has protection. The Trump ‘family’ will try anything… and use Russians, at that.

That’s exactly why I’ve got such a big ass smile on my face. There’s not a damn thing Dotard can do about any of it. This is where they can really start to turn the screws. It’s completely out of his reach, and I believe his children are just as deeply involved in the foundation as he is. Plus, judging by the Weinstein perp walk, they’ll be no quietly turning themselves in away from the cameras.

Did you see Frank Bruni’s column suggesting that Melanoma is subtly trolling Donnie and driving him mad, so she might be the greatest First Lady in history?

To my knowledge, it’s a federal statute.
However, there are some trained, certified and quite learned legal minds on TPM threads who could offer much better responses.
A little help, please!

My head may actually explode with joy if that happens. Seriously, joy overload. It would be like watching fat, giggly babies playing with kittens and puppies while eating cotton candy and riding on the back of a unicorn jumping over a rainbow over a bridge filled with cute old people blowing kisses at them. As the kids say, “Dis tew much.”

First of many-
the script he read to the judge stated “… in Manhattan” repeatedly.
He and Felix Sater were in the Trump Org by 2006, and Manafort had a condo there
first it was Deutche Bank, then the server for Alpha Bank
all this physically located in Manhattan

Which, if I recall correctly, has not only been investigated and cleared but is (at Congressional request) being re-investigated.

The enterprise corruption statute is New York’s version of the federal RICO Act and was added to the Penal Law by the Organized Crime Control Act of 1986 to combat the “diversified illegal conduct engaged in by organized crime,” including the infiltration and corruption of legitimate enterprises.
