It’s a he said she said battle of credibility between the self-confessed white-lie liar and the felon co-conspirator of Individual1.

Mind you, in Mueller Hearing, Mueller did find Cohen’s testimony credible when they verified it. Can the self-confessed white-lie liar stand strong if verified?

She’s a sad little joke. Fortunately she has no self awareness so none of this will penetrate or influence.

What really jumped out at me here was how she just hovered over Donald in the last stretch of the campaign and compromised herself over and over because flying around in a private jet, having people scream your name at rallies and seeing pictures of yourself in Marie Claire is super intoxicating. She knew Donald only protects family and she was a shoo-in for the role of Wife #4 but then he won the election and she ended up testifying in front of Congressional committees and here we are…

I am on absurd overload. So I am reading a story about an advisor to the President of the great (again) United States, speaking to an esteemed legislative body, and the story is that she is denying speaking to a lawyer about said president´s payment of hushmoney to a porn star in order to hide a sex act … but claims instead as a defense that she was probably talking about alleged tapes of the president with Russian prostitutes apparently to find out if they really exist, all the time with said president denying that they possibly can.

Hicks’ lawyers said that one of her the phone calls with Cohen on the day in question, Oct. 8, 2016, likely had to do with the rumors of a video tape “involving Mr. Trump in Moscow with Russian prostitutes,” not the hush money payments.

She wasn’t talking about that hush money deal. She was talking about another hush money deal. Get it straight, people!

Ka-ching! Imagine the cost of that letter from her attorneys…easily $10,000. Nice!

With all the stuff and nonsense on TPM this week (and other places as well), I’m seriously debating whether I want to return to the US from Australia tomorrow morning.

For the record, I’m dealing with much brighter US folks on the project team here - no one buys the suicide idea on Epstein. Not a one. But they are dealing here in Australia with the knife attack in the business district in Sydney (I’m in Melbourne, several hours away) that took out a 24 year old woman. Also keeping a close eye on the events in Hong Kong.

Thanks for keeping me up to date, folks.

Wow. When this is the more “innocent” rationale for your actions, perhaps you need to rethink where your life is headed.

I wonder who’s paying her legal bills. Surely not “use them and lose them” Donald Trump.

And if we actually saw a hard copy of that “pee tape”; at this point -incredibly -I don’t think it would change many minds.

The re-election campaign is paying her legal bills, and others as well. FYI.

Translation: I’m an attractive young white woman with money and connections, therefore none of this matters, I’ll be taken care of, it’s those darker-skinned icky from over there people who have to struggle, not the likes of me. Now about my nails…

So I guess she didn’t believe Trump when he said the pee tapes didn’t exist.
