Mueller has Trump 'cornered,' Carl Bernstein says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Special counsel Robert Mueller is closing in on President Trump, according to a journalist who helped expose wrongdoing by former President Richard Nixon that helped lead to the only White House resignation in history.

CNN's Carl Bernstein, who with Washington Post colleague Bob Woodward in the early 1970s broke a series of key stories on Watergate, on Sunday cited a recent sentencing memo regarding Michael Cohen, Trump's former fixer. That could prompt impeachment proceedings against the president, Bernstein said. Federal prosecutors in New York filed the document last week.

[But] there's something much more important than just impeachment going on, and that is the fact that Donald Trump for the first time in his life is cornered," Bernstein said on CNN's "Reliable Sources". "As a businessman, he always could bully his way out of a corner, he always could buy his way out, cheat his way out. He is boxed in by [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller and the people around him know that he is."

Cohen, who was also Trump's longtime personal attorney, pleaded guilty in August to a range of charges. That included two related to efforts made ahead of the 2016 election to silence two women, including porn star Stormy Daniels, about their alleged extramarital affairs with the president more than a decade ago. The case by the U.S. attorney's office in the Southern District of New York case emanated from a referral by Mueller.

6. Trump's M.O., as we've seen, is to bully, threaten, and even ruin a person's career and life...

if necessary, to get what he wants.

He wanted to buy the land next to his tower or hotel once. It was owned by an elderly woman who lived there. Downtown NY, I guess. He wanted to buy it to make it a parking lot for his building. She wouldn't sell. He actually sued her and tried to claim eminent domain (which as you know is for the GOVT to take land it needs for a public purpose), to take her land for his personal use! He lost, thank goodness. I'm sure she's passed on by now, but I bet she's smiling somewhere, as she looks on and sees what's happening.

There are the Scottish people who tried to prevent Trump building a golf course with hotel and such on the shore in Scotland. A pristine beautiful site. The Scottish people didn't want it there, claiming damage to the environment, lowering their property value, and destroying the view (the people in the town would no longer be able to see the shoreline because of the buildings he planned for his golf resort. Trump bullied them, threatened them, took them to Court and won. I bet they're happy right about now.

There's a long list of people in the world that Trump has screwed over.

3. A cornered monster can be very dangerous.

4. Exactly.

Especially with that evil fuck, Bolton, whispering in his ear.

Trump may decide the only way to distract from his crimes is to get the country on a war footing.

9. Hope not. Did notice though that he's stopped mentionning

2020 and "prez for life." My guess he is counting the days until January 2021. Just hoping he and his kids get out in one piece.

His focus is on keeping his base riled so they will protect him until then.

Geez - Mueller says he committed federal crimes and he's getting away with that so far.

8. This cartoon would be more complete if

there were a bunch of little turds all over the floor and in that corner.

Like a corned rat, trump must be shitting himself right now.
