You got that wrong too! I’m totally happy, Trump is still your President, the economy is great and he is negotiating on your behalf with North Korea. It’s fantastic!!
Oh also, Hillary is put out to pasture like an old dairy cow.

Amen

The whole show was like a Monty Python movie

How anyone in their right mind could believe this lying piece of whale crap on the bottom of the ocean, that's as low as it gets

And all o a day with negotiations that should have happened 65 years ago

I Hope that this is the straw that breaks the camel's back and ends up tossing these AHole libturds out of the Senate

Pelosi does not seem interested in pushing impeachment. She is a master strategist, so I think she must feel that the time is not right, or that the Dems would rather run against Trump. Personally, I'd like to see Trump impeached and tried in the Senate. But I am not sure the Senate would convict. It sure would drag out all his dirty laundry though.

Trump might have more to fear from the SDNY investigation than even the Mueller investigation.

The reason Cohen's testimony today might point toward possible tax fraud is if Trump took a deduction for the Cohen's reimbursement which was billed as retainers for services.

Even though SDNY and the State of New York are already investigating, it looks like the House will also open investigations into the Trump Org and subpoena Trump Org employees.

Higher ups in the Trump org probably don't have loyalty to Doanld the way Cohen, Manafort, and Flynn did. If facing time in federal prison for any crimes, I would think Trump org employees would flip on Trump in a heartbeat.


https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/sta...89966538833922
Weiselberg has already been forced to take relief from SDNY to testify in support of Cohen’s statements about the payoffs to the two women
SDNY gave him immunity so he could not plead the 5th or really claim he didn’t remember—
He would have been in contempt if he had done that—so they have part of his testimony against Trump
And he is still working for Trump Co
But since he has been with Trump since Fred was runnng the show, he knows more than Cohen where the bodies are buried and likely helped to bury quite a few
He is the guy who has done Trump’s taxes for decades
So a repository of information about shell companies and lot of other questionable activities like the charity and insurance claims

Remember that when the House committee on Intelligence I believe was going to interview Trump’s long time secretary the committee chair at the time (a GOP member) refused to request/require she come to Washington DC
This was close to a holiday or maybe break—the woman was interviewed on a Saturday in NYC by aides of the GOP side of the committee—no Dems went
There were NO members who went to oversee or participate in the interview and the Dems were not allowed to submit questions that she would be asked...
And I don’t think she was put under oath—
Here is link from that timeframe—

Tax fraud
Almost every one of those donations made to Trump’s Charity wasn’t a form of tax fraud
The people who made them who were friends of Trump’s were== like Cohen==part of the inner circle who understood the code being used
They knew what they were really doing was making a donation to DJT himself—not to some spurious “charity”
Trump used that money to pay for things that he could pass off as a “contribution” from the charity—and save him a buck...
Like the money likely used to pay for Don Jr. Boy Scouts dues with a check drawn on the Trump Charity

The friends of DJT made donations to the charity—
They got a tax write off
The charity got money to use to fund Trump’s whatever—portrait—some “deal” with maybe a politician or money-making opportunity for Trump

It was a big scam...

And not just Trump is in the cross hairs
His two sons and daughter and Weiselberg are on the board—
Ergo they can be implicated/charged for violations of the law as well

The people who donated the monies and took tax write offs are also vulnerable if investigated
That “Straw Buyer” Cohen referred to—knew he was committing a crime since he knew he wasn’t really buying that portrait for himself
That is colluding in a fraud
And since the money was pretty large—it was a big fraud...
Think he took the tax write off???
Bet he did...

Anything Trump can turn his hand to and make a profit he will
It is the Roy Cohn mantra—and the Fred Trump way
Everyone saw the 60min story about Trump’s father creating the company he put in his children’s names and filtered money through —
Statute of limitations has expired on it
So Trump’s sister the Federal Judge likely won’t catch blowback
But she si the one who opened that can of worms with her first financial report when she was up for her appointment—
One reason probably they all now lie and omit on their financial statements...

However, that doesn't change the fact that I knew there was virtually zero chance of anyone other than Trump or Hillary winning...hence the 'we're doomed'.

“Let’s leave the Cohen family alone”???
Like WE tweeted anything
He is trying to mitigate HIS guilt by implicating all of those reading his tweet’

Just like his idol DJT

I think someone told Gaetz that part of Cohen’s real family has strong ties to Russian mafia
People way more scary than Donald Trump’s base...
