CNN is reporting tonight that they have sources telling them Michael Cohen says Donald Trump knew about the now-infamous Trump Tower meeting with Russian operatives brokered by his son Donald Jr. in advance.
Huge if true. And I’m not being sarcastic.
Just read the CNN article. Apparently, there’s no tape or any other documentation. Just Cohen’s word.
In other words, this won’t amount to jack shit.

While I’m skeptical about anything that relies upon “sources,” I will say that if Cohen really is prepared to testify, then it’s pretty significant but would be more so if he’s got some form of evidence to back it up. Texts, emails, a recorded conversation, anything that would make this reliant upon more than his sworn testimony would nail Donny’s ass to the wall.

And, we still do not know the extent of him as a message carrier. Remember all the bit about him going to Europe then onto Prague to meet with Russians. Though not totally confirmed…”say’s who” Cohen might have direct knowledge of Russians setting up the meeting. He may have helped coordinate.
But, I’m going with caution. I’m just glad all this stuff is pouring out the last few days. Sure it is hard to keep up with it.
But, that is what Mueller and the Feds are doing. Mueller is the guy with the team and staffs that put this together in a pattern and then puts is out to the public in perspective.

I suspect that, when the books are written on this whole scandal, more than one author will devote a few paragraphs to how this might all have been avoided if Donny had the common sense God gave the amoeba and ignored Ivanka’s personal hatred of the man to give Cohen a spot in his admin.

I guess that’s the thing: Trump green lighting a massively illegal meeting like this is basically his MO. Everyone fucking knows that’s how he operates: micromanaging to an infinitesimal degree because he believes his own “I’m a suuuuuper genius” bullshit.
On top of that, the dude needs a fucking audience. So it makes sense that he’d do it front of other people besides Cohen. It’s just maddening that this stuff has been going on all this time and it’s supposedly impossible to prove.

Yeah I heard Rudy say that. Rudy’s gone into Barry Zuckerkorn territory.
The Friday night news dump came a day early. Cohen’s claiming Trump knew the details of the Russia meeting and was intimately aware of the details.
This is accurate, and there’s every reason to believe Cohen on this.
Why?
Remember when there were questions about who wrote the letter Junior posted about the meeting details, and everyone in Trumpworld lied until it became known Donny was the one who wrote it for his idiot son (no, not the other one).
Trump knew every aspect of his business. He’s not leaving this up to his kids. He wants to know all aspects of his business - and most certainly the meeting was about his business (both winning the presidency and how it benefits him personally). Lifting the Maginsky act would be profitable for him personally.
As much as Trump doesn’t give a crap about how government functions, he’s quite aware of all aspects of his own criminal syndicate.
Giuliani says Trump felt, Almost like a father betrayed by his son, when he heard about Cohen recording him.

re: #86 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
Exactly my thinking. Trump is a useful tool, while they have him. Ultimately, though, he’s expendable - a trophy, a point of pride, “we hacked the Presidency of the United States,” but at the end of the day, the real coup is that they installed countless real agents in positions all up and down the government ladder.
Yep, they still control the Republican Party from top to bottom, along with the conspiracy industry and many other subversive agents. This is going to be a long, hard pull.

That was actually my first thought, that this leak was not intended to hurt Donny, but instead make it harder for Cohen to back out of any potential/ongoing negotiations with Mueller’s team. Avenatti suggested the other night that Davis releasing the tapes was Cohen trying to send up a flare to Donny for an immediate pardon or promise of a pardon. This might be an attempt to cut off that escape route by creating the impression in Donny’s head that Cohen is already turning evidence and thus has gone from an asset to the liability.

Unless it is the Republican Congress we have now, which is determined not to do any such thing.
Personally, my guess is the leak came from the US Attorney’s office.
- Rudy’s dumber than a fence post, but even he could see how utterly stupid it would be to create such a leak without solid evidence that Cohen’s a liar.
- Davis is a slimeball, but this in no way helps his client if the aim is for a pardon or a plea deal.
- And Mueller has run such a tight ship since last year that the idea he would burn his trump card (pun intended) now makes no sense whatsoever.
But the guys who presently have Mikey’s balls in a vice, and would benefit most from his turning from uncooperative suspect into cooperating witness? Out of whose office the case building against him for various crimes in city/state/federal crimes is running? Makes total sense.
Couple of things:
1. Timing for this release? Uh huh.
2. The US Air Force was in North Korea? Isn’t that kind of unusual?
3. I thought they announced that they already had a bunch of remains back.
4. Notice—no numbers, no verification—just a “look how great the yam and Rocket Man are getting along and getting things done.”
I don’t buy any of it.
Quick edit—now they’re saying 55 cases of remains.
Wonder who’s going to do the testing to make sure it’s who/what they all say they are.

You know, I’d like just one reporter to ask the question that would send Rudy into a catatonic state: “If nothing at all incriminating occurred at this meeting, as both you and your client insist, then why all the effort to cover it up?”

#DPRK has a checkered history on return of remains. It sent a box of bones to a Japanese family of a woman who had been kidnapped by North Korean agents, claiming it contained her remains. DNA testing determined they were animal bones.

I sure hope Trump will faceplant.
But this may be an opportunity for them to have a Reichstag fire or something of similar magnitude as a distraction and excuse.

Lest we forget, Trump has already offered this bit of confirmation that he knew about the meeting ahead of time. Two days before the meeting, he said:
“I am going to give a major speech on probably Monday of next week and we’re going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons, I think you’re going to find it very informative and very, very interesting.”
re: #93 Charles Johnson
Someone told me, “Watch ‘The 100’ on Netflix, it’s great, you’ll love it.”
So I started watching. And you know what, it has a few decent moments, but overall, very lame and bad. Not recommended.
I could have told you not to do it. One of the adult actresses is really cute, but that’s all it has going for it.

re: #106 Charles Johnson
Yes, Luke Cage S2 was really good. The Netflix Marvel adaptations are all worth watching - much more than most of the big-screen Marvel movies.
The movies are more into spectacle and the Avengers series more into cramming as many heroes into one flick as possible. But, on that level, they have done a better job than the DC movies, with the exception of Wonder Woman. I’m hoping the Aquaman flick will not be a total bust, but the previews have not inspired my confidence.
The series, OTOH, are more character-driven, and those characters develop over the run of the show.
The movies are comic books, while the series are graphic novels, if you will.

6. Once we know that Cohen DID NOT leak this, it is UTTERLY IRRELEVANT who did. Does not matter, in the least. What matters here is THE CONTENT, not who leaked it. THIS CONTENT? If confirmed, makes Trump an integral part of CONSPIRACY with Russia to defraud the US.

I love Luke Cage. Story lines, characters, cinematography, choreography, acting, everything. But the cherry on the damn sundae is the music. I would honestly watch it just for the music. Just superb in every way. One of my overall fave shows on netflix.

She started flying when she was a teenager, and served as a volunteer during WWII ferrying planes, including bombers, from one place to another.

And Donny Jr will once again remember how his father treated him in the past, the womanizing that split his mother away from the family and all the times Big Donny shafted junior out of bucks, etc.
And then Donny blows Big Don out of the water thus destroying the whole Trump Family.
