To those of us old enough to remember, this day kind of feels to me like the day Alexander Butterfield revealed the existence of the Nixon Tapes.
Sort of, anyway.
I truly hope Mr. Mueller has just a bit of a sadistic side, just enough to let Donnie twist in the wind long enough before the rope tightens…
Is that wrong?
“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.” — Friedrich Nietzsche
“Former prosecutors say Thursday’s news provides even more evidence that Cohen provides the thread connecting all of the matters imperiling Trump’s presidency: Russia, hush money payoffs, and the Trump Organization’s sketchy finances.“
I hope Cohen has some sort of security protection.
Cohen might be closer to a John Dean. It feels a fever breaking.
I am hearing the theme from Jaws in my head.
BWAAAAAAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahaha
Anyone who read the testimony to Congress given by the head of the company that hired Steele to amass the dossier, already knew that Michael Cohen is the thread. Michael Cohen was mentioned more often in testimony than Trump was. Michael is everywhere in this thing.
Trump sounds and acts more and more like a trapped organized crime boss every day. What else would we expect from a career criminal?
I’m hearing the music in The Godfather baptism scene where the “dons” of the five families get whacked. Y’know Don, Don Jr and the rest.
What about the raid on Deutsche bank? Is donnie in trouble there too?
Remember all those recordings of conversations Cohen kept that they got? I bet that’s the proof Mueller has that Cohen, Manafort and Trump lied–he was just waiting to get the answers from Trump.
Let us hope
It can’t be good. I like to think that the German raid on Deutsche Bank was a last parting 'gift" to Trump from Angela Merkel.
Their offices were raided in NY, too. The state of NY may have cause to bring charges against trump that will be immune from Trump’s ill-gotten pardon power.
I haven’t seen anything written about it, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something there, just that nobody knows yet. The case being a German one and knowing that German privacy laws are even more stringent than here, my guess is that it may take some time to find out if there is a connection and, if so, what that connection is.
But it is an odd coincidence. Or maybe not.
I don’t often get cheered up anymore. This article cheered me up. There is a glimmer of a hint here that the special prosecutor might actually bring the reign of the clown car Corleones to a fitting conclusion.
Did he trave to Prague?
It’s in the dossier and according to what I recall about that testimony - and I read both the testimony to the House and the Senate Committees, he sure as hell was in Prague.
I recall he flew to Italy. He could have driven to Prague undetected as no visa or passport checks were required.
Just remember, this will continue at a glacial pace. It’s not like water going down a spout which gets quicker at it’s conclusion. It will continue in fits and starts. More like a Freytag Pyramid on a Möbius Strip. Which, unfortunately, leaves no room for catharsis.
Until it doesn’t.
Guess someone didn’t like being discarded like used tissue.
