So true. This fact was also lost on the Republicans on the House Committee who spent the entire time trying to attack Cohen's credibility. They never questioned any of his allegations, but rather that he lied in the past....for Trump! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post oldrunner Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2019 Once again the speeches from no-nothings from no where espousing nonsense of which they know naught. Trump may not be everyones cup of tea but you don't becine a billionaire by being stupid. Hiring Cohen was Trumps only major mistake, he should have known not to trust a lawyer. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I found interesting is that the republican congressman did not once attack what he said. They never rebutted it. Instead they attacked his character. He brought physical evidence which they ignored. And instead talked about what a despicable person he was... for committing crimes at the behest of Trump... And about what a huge liar he was... all the while ignoring that they are doing this to defend a President who has told 9000 lies in two years. What I personally found interesting is the only thing Russia related that he was allowed to talk about was the Stone phone call. Why was that? Stone and Assange both called it false immediately after (Stone likely violating a gag order). Donald Trump is on record telling Mueller he never discussed this with Stone. But if that conversation happened in the oval office, there's going to be a record of it. And if that is corroborated then it's game over. The fact that they allowed Cohen to speak about this and nothing else regarding Russia is intriguing. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bendejo Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2019 but but but but HE DID NOT SAY THERE WAS COLLUSION! A great victory for DT. Poor orange guy, he thought this "summit" (which is really a follow-on to the resort-development sales pitch he gave Kim last time) would be a distraction from all this, but it ain't working. The press back in the homeland is all about the Cohen allegations. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think Trump is innocent? Or do you don't care if he is a criminal as long as you like his policies?

Trump is implicated in a criminal conspiracy to violate campaign finance law. This case has already resulted in one felony plea and the judge and the SDNY all agree that there was a clear criminal violation of campaign finance law. Yesterday, Cohen showed us a check signed by Trump, the proceeds of which were used to hush up porn stars and/or prostitutes prior to the election. In short, this money was spent in order to influence the outcome of the election. The only reason Trump has not been indicted is because of the office he holds.

Trump needs our full support, he is out giving his all - making peace on the Korean peninsula, and all the fools back home can do is stab him in the back and try undermining and distracting him. Madness, sheer madness. On the bright side, Trump has proved he does not cave in to the constant negativity and hate, which is a miracle in itself. If things go pear shaped and Kim starts flinging nukes around I just hope the left will 100% own it, they should. You've got to be freaking kidding. Kim will suck him in and spit him out in a year or two. Cohen has done the right thing by turning toxic on toxic. Glad to see he has big cajones, a liar but still big cahones. The whole gang of Trump associates will all turn against him in due time, just like Cohen. The day will come when even the staunchest Trump supporters will deny that they ever supported him. What a joke! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ballpoint Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2019 Guy works for Trump, one of his most trusted confidants. For years, Trump sees nothing wrong with him. For years, Trump supporters see nothing wrong with him. Guy gets arrested and starts singing. Trump calls him a long term crooked liar. Trump's new lawyer calls him a long term crooked liar. Trump supporters call him a long term crooked liar. Moral of the story? Trump, and his supporters, see no wrong as long as you lie on the same side of the bed as him. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as a civil libertarian, I shudder when politicians use the Courts....like the NYS AG... I think it depends more on your core values and your views about whether a President should have a minimum moral and legal character or not. A traditional Republican exhibiting those values would not deny and object when Nixon was prosecuted, and a traditional Democrat should not have objected when Clinton was prosecuted in impeachment but found innocent. But these new "Republicans," these Trump fans, I don't think share that same sense of decency. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely crystal clear what you say. Lack of moral fiber, moral compass, skirting illegality, gangster methods, if not plain criminal behavior, these are all traits of Trump that are ignored or at worst worshiped by his base apparently. Sad indeed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, in Trump's case, it truly is abysmal, given his overwhelmingly immoral and probably illegal behavior. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlandtday Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Cohen really is a pathetic human being. Not only does he break the trust a lawyer is supposed to have with his client he sells information and contact to anyone willing to fork out the money in secret while working for his client. Now the rat weasel is in great probability spinning countless lies to save his sorry ass. Almost like a guy who says he has been saved by religion this little weasel tells us he made a mistake working for Trump while he quietly pulled in millions lol. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
