Putin could care less about my posts as long as Trump doesn't tweet against him...
So I don't think I have anything to worry about---do you, really?

That poster is probably the reincarnated "swayalot". The trolls really need to get more creative with their user names.

As already noted, one does not 'negotiate' with those charged with investigating possible crimes. Of course, an attorney may 'negotiate' a plea bargain with a district attorney.


Perhaps Mr. Giuliani is a bit upset at the seizure of Mr. Cohen's stuff, some of which, perhaps, could implicate him.


Now, Mr. Cohen's legal problems are obviously different from the Mueller investigation. The former is in the jurisdiction of the Southern District of New York (which Mr. G used to head up), while the Mueller investigation is under the auspices of the Justice Department.


Perhaps Mr. G is hoping that, by at least appearing to be helping Mr. Trump, he can 'negotiate' a Presidential pardon for himself down the line, should it be necessary. After all, there have been articles noting that some of the actions by Mr. G may be part of the Mueller investigation:


https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...sition-n819616


Mr. G is an oddity. When announcing his divorce in early April (a few days before the search of Mr. Cohen's property), Mr. G said:


“We hope to do this as amicably as possible and hope that people will respect the privacy of our children at this time,â€


https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.2fb850694d43


A nice sentiment, except he and his current wife do not have children together, although they both have adult children from prior marriages. Mr G has two children, aged 29 and 31. It is not like they are toddlers.


Indeed, is this divorce a way to quickly split the assets (Mr. G is reportedly very wealthy now) in case Mr. G gets into difficulties with the law? Perhaps not, since the couple seem to have had problems for a while, but it is curious timing: file for divorce, Mr. Cohen's office raided five days later, Mr. G joining Trump's team a week later.


All speculation. However, I would be willing to bet a reasonable sum that there is more to this than meets the eye.

What was his record as a lawyer? It seems strange that Trump boasts that many lawyers want to be involved in his case but he winds up hiring..........Giuliani.

I'm sure his children want their privacy but I thought that they no longer spoke to him.

Rudy Giuliani. The garden gnome of the Trump administration.

Yes, yes it is. Maybe not in the way you think it will be, but it is going to be fun for some of us !

Probably?
Wow, you are slow.
I asked for a username change and intentionally kept ALOT in order to remain known to everyone.
In fact I've had more than one username change, as I previous was "amenalot" and "swayalot".
Looks like I wasn't obvious enough if you only think its "probably" me.

The Justice Dept. watchdog sent findings to federal prosecutors for POSSIBLE charges.

A little early to declare fun in the sun based on possible.

But jump on it if it makes you happy.

I have to say "favorite American" because my favorite people are Ben Simmons and Rafael Nadal (I'm into basketball and tennis more than politics) and neither of them are American.

By coincidence, President Trump's favorite player is Rafael Nadal-
https://en.as.com/en/2017/01/17/othe...74_033086.html
In the video, Trump says: "My favorite player? Rafael Nadal, I love Rafael.....You talk about a guy who wants to win, he won't allow himself to lose.....I mean to me I think he's just a great great champion."
