They clearly laid out how Michael Cohen is PERSONALLY in legal trouble for making an excessive contribution to the Trump campaign and that he has value to mueller because he knows about the Trump Tower Moscow negotiations and likely, other Russian contacts. He can be pressured to give relevant testimony to Mueller. This is probably what is making Trump sick tonight. (And the fact that a 27 year old found him to be repulsive). Cohen is Trump's bag man and they have leverage on Cohen.
That, and unprotected sex with a porn star could get you killed by some wives, even those who don't love you.

(10,611 posts)Democrats do not have a Fox News propaganda counterpart.
The GOP beat Democrats to the punch in infiltrating churches and getting them to associate "godliness" with so-called Republican "values", and denigrating the Democratic platform, directly contradicting what Democratic principles are all about.
Trumpsters can take refuge in their Fox News alternate reality, which will completely ignore Trump's misdeeds altogether, much less their negative impact.

Just a coincidence, or a coordinated crossing of all the "T"s and dotting of all the "I"s by the repugs...including Comey, Chaffetz, Cohen, Giuiliani and all the other scuzz balls of the campaign?

(10,951 posts)It makes you wonder if his MO is to target attractive young women that reminds him of Ivanka and, when he has sex them, is he fantasizing about having sex with Ivanka?

(128,377 posts)from what I recall the program saying (although I thought the limit was $5,000 for individuals, which would include primary and general) - and with Drumpf not reimbursing, it becomes an "in kind" contribution. It could be the LLC he set up has that $10,000 limit.

(7,947 posts)I'm not sure how he's kept his law license this long, but if he threatened someone....

(6,850 posts)Anderson did not ask her WHO told you THEY could make your life miserable? Sounded like her attorney said this. He needed to ask the question.
The in-person threat took place 5 years earlier, Cohen was the attorney, but again, no connecting it up. A stranger threatened her. No police report.
His law license should be in jeapardy for paying a debt owed by his client. He of course is lying. His client paid him back.
She alleges someone threatened her back in 2011.
As far as the threat around the Jan 2018 statement, it was general threats to enforce the contract.
Avenatti acting like people dont threaten one another with potential multimillion damages in legal actions every danged day, was mildly amusing. If your practice is something other than parking tickets, and you dont see people flinging around threats of potential big damages at least twice a week, then youre not reading your correspondence.
The statement in Jan 2018 denying an affair, I suppose, depends on ones definition of affair as distinguished from one night stand.

The part that I liked was when Stormy asked Trump about Melania and he said, it's ok, we sleep in separate beds.
Anyone ever see Trump interact with Barron? He ever take him golfing with him? What a pathetic father, he ignored all of his kids except Ivanka and he may have been too close to her?
MaryMagdaline
(6,850 posts)FakeNoose
(32,556 posts)I've read that he did the same thing with Junior and Eric. So if Barron gets to college in 7 or 8 years and his dad's still alive, then he might show some interest.
Mainly it's a business interest - he wants to make sure the boys learn enough to take over the Trump Organization eventually. So of course the boys grow up to be terrible fathers themselves. It's sad!

(46,014 posts)In other words, how can he testify about matters that were the core of legally representing Donald Trump? If Cohen does, he can be disbarred for breaking a cardinal rule in Attorney Ethics.
MaryMagdaline
(6,850 posts)1. Payoff to stormy. Was it an illegal contribution?
2. Russian Trump Tower? Was it a bribe or back channel deal?
Jarqui
(10,119 posts)I presume he was the director/signing officer for that company he is alleged to have set up.
With the FEC concerns, he'd have to answer questions about that role and his actions.
He has to be getting concerned about his ongoing ability to continue to practice law ...
I'm not advocating pity for Melania but after all the crap to date, to have a porn star and playboy bunny detail unprotected sex on national tv and the playboy bunny maintain he tol her he loved her for 10 months, that cannot have done Donald's relationship with Melania any good (except drive her away from him which most would agree is not a bad thing).
With what has happened to Cohen, with what has happened to his marriage, with the departure of Dowd and others failing to represent him legally, with the guilty pleas and indictments, with all the lawsuits, with all the White House firings, etc Trump's legal future seems to be built on a house of cards. It's going to come tumbling down eventually.
