Discussion: Schiff: AMI Non-Prosecution Deal Means It's 'Trump's Word Against Everyone Else'

. A couple cracks, some drops slowly ooze out, then there’s a grinding noise and AH-WHOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM.

The real suspense is when are they going to turn on him - the Republicans in the Senate. It will happen. Creativity isn’t their strong suit so expect the excuses to run out soon—e.g., perjury is a “process” crime, campaign finance is “over-investigated,” yadda yadda.

tRump’s word against everyone else’s. I love the sound of that!

I doubt it. Barr has a time-tested strategy against investigations – wholesale pardons. I expect him to recommend a general amnesty for the entire Trump campaign and administration.

Good. Then they can all do state time. Things won’t go well for Jared in Attica.

Well this is all very interesting but pales in comparison to the news in The Globe this week. Prince William has seized the throne.

OMG, Individual 1 is so bleeped!!

What happened to smocked? I love smocked!

[leftcoaster]

He is bleeping smocked!

“Because what that means is, this is not simply Michael Cohen’s word against Donald Trump’s, it is now Donald Trump’s word against everyone else,” Schiff told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer."

[ghost]

It’s “Trump’s word against everyone else and reality.” FIFY

[teenlaqueefa]

I now feel free to openly mock the dullard dotard with little chance for pushback, and I live in Kansas!

Thanks Obama!

Things do seem to be happening fast now, but it was sooooo agonizingly
slow getting to this point, 2 years worth. We can only hope it won’t be two more years for him to be gone.

It’s been in excess of 95 miles an hour since day one! We just forget what normal is.

[katscherger]

“Smocked” is so yesterday. Today’s word is ”bleeped.”

[zillacop]

And, tomorrow?

I understand that Cohen could be recalled to testify before he goes to the slammer.

Before he goes to the slammer and even while he’s doing his time he can still be called to testify. In fact, he could reduce his sentence by continuing to cooperate.

@texasaggie

So is AMI going to print McDougal’s story now?

Strangely, they did a deal with her, before they cooperated, to try to make it look less like such a blatant catch-and-kill. Take a look at the recent covers of Men’s Journal magazine, an AMI publication. One of these things is not like the other…

Trump’s election was a national disaster, and the thing about disasters is they come and stay for a while. They’re no respecters of our schedules, capacity for stress, hopes and dreams, any of that. Everyone with a lick of sense is doing what he or she can, and we’re going forward. But you and I want it to be over, and the disaster replies that it’ll be over when it feels like being over. : (

@chelsea530

The man who’s known for his hundreds and hundreds of lies is going to be believed, instead of all those who have evidence against him (and some evidence we haven’t even seen)?

And wants us to believe Cohen lied his way into three years in stir? Sure, everybody does that.

[debg]

That’s a high bar! If I’d still been living in Kansas during the 2016 election season, I don’t think I would have survived.
