The crimes are a certainty at this point. Even Giuliani isn’t denying collusion between the campaign and Russian actors. And, yes, there is a big difference in working with registered foreign agents and unsanctioned governments in a conspiracy to defraud the American people. As to Trump you are bringing up most likely next Giuliani talking point: plausible deniability. In the evolution of Trump’s defense from no collusion to yes collusion, this is where we are at. And this is what gives our froggy friend his hope because he is right that everyone gets to put up a defense although that didn’t help manafort as much as he hoped it would. He’s currently in a big orange jumpsuit. Either way. Everyday is an adventure when Trump is in the White House. You just never know what will happen next, only that it will not be good for America.
Are we supposed to believe that a bottom feeder like Cohen was in charge of negotiating Trump's Russian hotel project? And was expecting to meet with Putin? That sounds a bit far-fetched to me.
Hey, you are the one makes the continual case that various dem candidates are sufficient to win because they can beat Trump. And I am the one who cautions that that will all fall apart if Trump is not on the ballot or things get so bad that he is primaried. But now you inform me that there is no connection between 2020 and what is going on with Trump. Alright, just trying to keep up with the voices in your rice krispies. I guess we are going to get Cohen out of prison at point - for lying to Congress among other things- to testify to Congress to tell them the truth of what really went on. Nice.
Deep State operative James Clapper was caught brazenly lying to congress about illegal surveillance of Americans. Zero consequences.
Yes, that bottom feeder was his fixer and his confidant for years which say a lot about Trump and the people whom he trusts. Trump lies all the time, he is going to get caught, it's just a matter of time. he doesn't need enemies, he is his own worst enemy. Stop defending him, GOP needs to focus on a candidate that can consistently and continuously push their agenda forward. Trump is a one hit wonder. It will takes years and years to heal and fix the amount of the damage he has inflicted to GOP.
A little before 1 pm, the Trump camp responds: Lots of focus on Cohen, however, buzzfeed says this info was developed through interviews with Trump .org persons, emails and text messages and only confirmed by Cohen.
Nobody brought 2020 in this thread except for you. As to Cohen, he has declined comment on this story. And, if true, he will decline to comment on it in front of congress at Mueller’s request. Sometimes no comment is very affirming
As I said this morning - above. Even if true, isnt this within Mueller's jurisdiction and scope? And shouldnt they stay out of it given all their zeal for letting Mueller handle things? So. Mueller's office just issued a statement letting the air out the tires of the Buzzfeed fake news. I rest my case. Get ready to say hello to one of Mueller's best buddies- even moreso than Comey. A man who is about to become Mueller's boss so either Mueller will reign in the foolishness and recklessness or the new boss will. That would be AG Bill Barr. Good move Mr. Mueller. It's good to start bringing this clown show witch hunt into a better framework before Barr arrives.
Buzzfeed’s response to the Office of the Special Counsel: Ronan Farrow with some inside information: Of note, Cohen has not stated the buzzfeed story is false. Considering he is under Mueller’s cooperation and he recently denied ever going to Prague, he can deny this story anytime between now and February 7th and that would basically kill it.
