Newly unsealed documents offer an in-depth look at how Special Counsel Robert Mueller found himself investigating Michael Cohen’s role in the Stormy Daniels hush money scheme within weeks of being appointed.
David Pecker and Alan Weisselberg entered into cooperating witness/non-prosecution agreements with the DOJ specifically to both enable Mueller to get to the bottom of this hush money crime, and accruing the benefit of skating punishment for their involvement. Yet Cohen is the lone perp in the scheme to suffer, and apparently everyone else walks, investigation shut down and terminated, nothing further to see here, move along.
WTF?
I’d like to see the House dig into this. But we all know what effing good that would do.
So Cohen cut a deal, and prosecutors got his cooperation.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but what exactly did that gain?
There’s only one bigger fish Cohen could give up…
And Pizza The Hutt shields that big, fat fish with absolute immunity using a 1973 OLC memo.
Barr
And the OLC memos were written by Justice Departments when the party’s president was under impeachment investigation. Does anyone see a hook here?
Let’s get through Mr. Mueller’s appearance, and then regroup to start the impeachment inquiry right after the House gets back from its August recess…
Facts are still important; knowing truth is still important. Facts and truth are good tools to have even if they can not be used just now.
If Barr is not looked upon like Tojo was looked upon in 1942, we are a very VERY sick country.
The Law is an understated binder of people. Lack of it is devastating.
Sensibly stated…without drama or rancor.
You get an “F” on the alarmist scale.
Seems that it is about time for Congress to pass legislation overuling that old Office of Legal Counsel memo. That memo is not law. Only Congress can pass laws.
The fact that Traitor McConnell will not allow that does not make your statement any less valid.
I’m guessing this has been the plan of NDP all along, much to the consternation of the some of the internet arm-chair quarterbacks that seem to lurk around here…
Pelosi and Barr have already agreed Trump will not be subjected to an impeachment by the House.
Nance cannot write a post saying, “Hey Maximus and Emiliano!! Here’s the Game Plan!”
Ivan would hear it along with us.
Must have missed that. Can you provide a link / citation?
You heard it here first.
“Person 1”
How long is it before Spankee tweets that he’s the only Person 1 in this investigation?
Has anyone else wondered why FBI could take down bunch of Ds (and a few Rs) during Abscam but current Rs who are taking Putin money and clearly doing his bidding continue walking halls of power?

‘F’ for “Fabulous, darling!”?
Please tell I wasn’t the only one who read this and chuckled that Cohen, and by association Individual 1, got caught violating a section of the U.S. Patriot Act?
