I'm not sure where to put this, but Trump just nixed the Russia sanctions that all his advisers were for - I thought they were a done deal.
You know if you started a new thread with the comment that Trump was adverse to those new sanctions it would just be melded into something else...
Re Hannity--
Rachel Maddow played the clip where Hannity had Cohen on his show about the Prague denial--
Where Hannity waved Cohen's passport around and they were yucking it up...
Hannity was badmouthing the state of "journalism" that someone would trash Cohen's name/reputation
Think Trumpers would have cared to know Cohen was Hannity's attorney du jour???
I know I would have found it even more despicable behavior on Hannity's part...
Rachel has the McClatchy guy on tonight taking about the part that Cohen did get in w/o passport--
But not much else about the other elements--Russian hackers, payoff money, etc...
Maybe the FBI found proof of that travel in some audio files...
Does Cohen speak Russian???
Mueller's investigation was stalling, this raid should provide enough material (non-Russian related) to keep the investigation going for the rest of the year. It was a desperate move but they will stop at nothing with the media on the side providing cover. Maybe throw some more "lying to the FBI" charges around. Comey should get one for himself.
mueller was the one that put the SDNY onto cohen in the first place.
That's Mueller's job. What he found was outside the scope of his charter to investigate Russia, and he turned it over to the proper authorities to investigate as they saw fit. He is in no way involved in the decision to raid Cohen, nor has he ever seen nor will he ever see the material that was seized. You ought to be happy he's playing by the rules you wanted him to follow.
BTW - SDNY had already been watching Cohen for a while.
Cohen's father in law was Ukranian---he owned big taxi fleet--where the money came from no one seems to know...
Taxi medallions was one aspect of the search warrant info
You have a man whose son in law is an attorney for one of the most prominent men in NYC and you don't take advantage of him to be YOUR attorney???
That's not kosher...everyone leans on relatives for free professional help--
Your cousin the CPA, your brother in law the dentist, your cousin the plumber...
Your son-in-law the attorney...
I just can't believe Cohen on one hand with all the Russian contacts sitting around Cohen Friday, he had NO RUSSIAN clients--
That means ANY exculpatory info tied to suspected criminal acts can't be protected by attorney client cover--
Will save a LOT of work to just have 3 clients
Maybe adding Hannity was just protective coloration to make it APPEAR that Cohen is more than a bag man
They needed someone to basically take a dive and make Cohen look like a "reputable" attorney...yeah...
But look--Trump for decades
Broidy for 3 wks maybe in 2017--how long does it take to print off an NDA from your hard drive and get couple of signatures??? Hannity for a very few conversations about some vague legal questions---when they are at Mar A Lago at Easter or Boys' Night Out...
That is not someone who is an attorney---
The attorneys working for him must be laughing every time they look at each other
Pity any poor public defender working in the SDNY's court...or any city over 40K people in the US...
Didn't Hannity claim that he only had a few brief discussions with Cohen about some "real estate deals"? Now, who in the hell goes to a sleazy "fixer" like Cohen for advice on real estate deals?
So how do you explain Cohen clearly putting Hannity on the list, making a huge fuss about Hannity being on the list?
Spin kids -- spin it....
Cohen has three clients:
1 RNC chair who hired Cohen to pay $1.6 mil to a Playboy bunny he knocked up.
2 POTUS who hired Cohen to cover up at least one affair... Stormy.
3 Sean Hannity who hired Cohen to... do what now?
Nah we just have to learn to "think for ourselves" harder so we can get on his level. Going to need to watch a whole lotta Hannity to catch up.
