Discussion: Russian Oligarch-Linked Firm That Paid Michael Cohen Was Also Represented by Trump Lawyer Marc Kasowitz

“Look, Kasowitz has known [Trump] for twenty-five years. Kasowitz has gotten him out of all kinds of jams,” Bannon reportedly said. “Kasowitz on the campaign — what did we have, a hundred women? Kasowitz took care of all of them.”

Sounds like binders full.

Wonder if Mueller has a copy…

Beyond the sweating, it sure does look like people want us to have a good picture of Trump’s entanglements. I feel week by week these disclosures are not happenstance. They may thrash through the court rooms, but the jig is up.

@pshah

the entire Republican Party is complicit

Complicit at best - looking more and more like an accessory to crime(s) based on Cohen and Broidy’s fundraising roles within the RNC

[rollinnolan]

Thanks to Avenatti for getting this ball rolling and letting us get a look at what is going on behind the scenes. Mueller doesn’t leak so it helps to get this out there and keep Democrats in the loop, enraged and disgusted. It also depresses the Republicans which is good for us.

[rickjones]

I’ve been saying it for a long time…Mueller needs to skip the report or referral to Congress and go straight to the indictment of Trump. And I’m talking now of indictments and arrests of about 30 people, including Trump, and that it all has to happen at the same time to get the attention of about half the Congress and 30% of the country.

[tena]

they do tend to roll out in a certain order that makes sense. hahahahaha

[rascal_crone]

At this point, the New York State Bar Association might want to consider disbarring Cohen.

damn, talk about a tight loop

can’t swing a dead cat around the tRUmp mob family and not hit a russian

[tpr]

I wonder what special master Barbara Jones makes of all this – plus the tribute Novartis & pals were paying – as she rifles through Cohen’s stuff.

The thing about DJT is that you get what you pay for and it is obvious he hires the cheapest lawyers possible.

[asturcot]

Oh to be a fly on the wall…

[cd]

if this country somehow manages to regain any footing to return to “normal” all of us here will be apoplectic when that same 40% will restart spewing all of the crap about morality, the rule of law, constitutionality, the “degradation” of the executive branch… all their standard BS lines

one thing that I have going for me is that I won’t have to be concerned about losing my hair over it, as much of it is already gone, sucks to be the rest of you in that case

[quitty]

MAGA – Make Attorneys Get Attorneys!!

[cd]

reporting on tRUmp’s business model change in 2006 from debt-based to cash-based, and the source of that cash, really deserves more attention than it’s getting, I think it will be one of the things that even the 40%ers can easily understand and get their attention re: corruption

I have not the slightest doubt. I have to consider what I’m going to do socially with any of them I meet. Not kidding—I’ve got a dinner I may skip Friday because a cousin’s new beau started up about Obama the last time, and you know, fuck that guy. Obama wasn’t a damn asset of a damn hostile foreign power. I don’t enjoy dinners where I’m grinding my teeth wanting to yell at one of my dining companions the whole time.

@mattinpa

It’s like if aliens invaded and 40 percent of the country said “Aaaah, we needed some new people in there anyway” and went and made a sandwich.

But only if they’re white aliens.

So, right, about that.

Others have said it, and I’m adopting it. I don’t have to “make nice” with the willfully ignorant. I feel no need to accept “differences of opinion” when what counts as “opinion” is in fact, matters of fact. I remember when certain people drew Hitler a mustache on a portrait of Obama… and those self-same mother-fsckers act like The Lying Orange Shit-Stain’s threats to replace the Department of Justice with a bunch of his own mob-connected buddies is perfectly normal and acceptable. ANd pretending that it was not obvious from before the fscking election that Drumph was in bed with the fscking Russians simply beggars belief. Nope. Fsck the lot of them.

Calling the Trump gang thieves and whores is a gross insult to both thieves and whores, both of whom, as a group, work for a living.

I am with you 100%. I think Mueller is going to indict. Let the SC decide if a sitting treasonous, criminal President is above the law

[rascal_crone]

just so’s ya know - the original phrase " to swing a cat" refers to the british navy’s cat 'o nine tails whip they used to discipline sailors with…
