Discussion: AP: Cohen Subpoenaed In Trump Foundation Investigation

People always say, “He was smart enough to get elected.” I always respond that if he and/or his family wind up going to jail then getting elected will be the dumbest thing he ever did.

This isn’t just Don in the cross hairs… this is his kids, too. And you can’t pardon state crimes even if you’re the President.

This has been one HELL of an Infrastructure Week.

Yesterday, an astute reader posted on TPM that Cohen’s plea deal specifically cites RICO statutes among the things that the plea does not rule out in the future.

So yeah, I think the prosecutor’s office sees a RICO indictment. :slight_smile:

It’ll have to be a country without an extradition treaty.

Yes, I just looked it up. Here’s the link:

We have an extradition treaty with Israel. However, it does have a few loopholes, most notably regarding “political” prosecutions.

I think the bottom line on that is, refusing to extradite them would come at a serious political cost for Israel. Not sure they would be willing to shoulder that is the Trump Admin is at that point of tatters.

Agree. It’s too politically expensive for them. I can’t think of any country that would shelter a deposed Spanky.

Jared has a lot of experience kicking people out of rent-controlled apartments. With some upfront cash to the Peruvians, I’ll bet they can send Assange packing and move into a cozy London flat.

Plus, isn’t Bibi on his way out considering all the charges against him and his wife?

At least not a country he’d want to visit let alone live in.

Realistically I don’t think she’ll do anything like this. Sure, she enjoys trolling him, but only because she’s a mean-spirited narcissist herself who’s discovered a safe way of venting her ire and pique. Not because she has some higher aspirations.

This is the real Melania:
