@socalista

fire Sessions and Rosenstein and whoever else is in line that’s not a devout loyalist to Spanky.

The number 3 person quit earlier this year (can’t remember her name).

I hope Cohen is singing like he’s using Paul Manafort’s $18,000 karaoke rig.

Still, I want to know who ABC’s “sources” are. Does Cohen benefit from this being leaked?

I was wondering whether it was Cohen (he could still be angling for a pardon, or at least for continued visibility in the news), but the other people who knew about it were SDNY, and they have historically not been hermetic.

They should -

Not so sure. There may not be much overlap in what they know. Also, don’t forget the bookkeeper. Weisselberg has dropped off the news pages, but he’s probably more dangerous to Trump than even those too.

Sorry, Donnie, this may not be the last of your misbegotten faux or real spawn to turn on you.

And yet, I find that I’m okay with having my schadenfreude taken from me

Please. Have some of mine. I find that my cup is bottomless when it comes to Cohen & Co.

[pabodie]

Investigating Trump must be like a treadmill. Every day a new suspicion is birthed from some tweet or compulsive liar BSing to press. I wonder if Mueller would be done by now if Trump could keep his mouth shut.

[socalista]

Other than narrow immunity for the Cohen case, I’m not aware of any deals with Weisselberg. Also haven’t heard of any indictments or charges against him. Have you?

This thing where the dumb hump reached down into the muck into which he’d willingly waded and came up with a single, decayed and tattered shred of his dignity and another slim thread of his long lost integrity has sucked most of the joy I so gleefully anticipated when contemplating his arrest.

That is beautiful. Well said, sir.

[ncsteve]

Remember those long stretches of time when Cohen and Manafort absolutely, positively weren’t negotiating a cooperation deal?

@ignoreland

Why do I feel so old?

Because it never ends. Deeds done by this president that would have gotten screaming week’s-long coverage and hearings pre-2016 are just a ho-hum bribery/corruption/gambling/cheating kinduva coupla dayz thing. It’s bizzaro world.

@ncsteve

those long stretches of time when Cohen and Manafort absolutely, positively weren’t negotiating a cooperation deal…

…but had been indicted. Your point?

[blogamator]

Heh, you said Shroomy.

[blogamator]

Rachel Brand I think it was.

[tena]

I did.

@ncsteve

Besides, I still have Parscale’s perp walk to look forward too. Somehow, I’m looking forward to that one even more than Junior’s.

I’m really not choosy–I would like them all.

[occamscoin]

That’s right. I’m sure someone’s moved into the number 3 spot by now.
