Trump Going Down? NY DA's Key Witness Cohen Says Trump's In Big Trouble


Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen is cooperating in the New York investigation into Trump’s finances. Cohen tells MSNBC’s Ari Melber that his 'cooperation is not over' and adds, 'the district attorney's office has millions of pages of documents…on Trump, The Trump Organization and other people.' Cohen says the key problem for Trump is 'that the truth will always come out.'

... is there a societal/cultural pattern we're feeling: why are there SEVERAL "investigations" being conducted naming Trump or his associates as defendents, while real judicial action (subpoenas, arrests, etc.) never seems to reach the news? We're in a perpetual state of anticipation. We're waiting for Godot. Or we're waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's been a long time, and the shoe hasn't dropped. Is there even a shoe?

I don't have faith that anything serious will actually develop.

There will be civil suits that will probably find him guilty and tell him to pay but he'll appeal and appeal and appeal for the next 3 decades and no money will ever be transferred.

As for criminal lawsuits I'm sure they will know he's guilty but won't be able to find enough solid evidence and reliable Trump cronies that turn on him to make a solid case. He'll skate as always. Under a cloud but that never bothers him.

But we've been hearing this for years. I still hold out hope that it might happen, but as others have said, I'll believe it when I see it. They've literally been investigating Trump for years. And even though he's committed countless crimes in broad daylight, no one seems to have the guts to actually do anything about it.

I'll quietly hold out hope that justice might prevail. In the meantime, moving on with my life.

that an attempt will be made. But, no faith that anything will happen to The Jerk Who Can't Be Mentioned.

If they have literally millions of pages of evidence, I would like to hear of what happens when TJWCBM's lawyers call for the evidence. I guess the cargo van will back up to the dock.

I think that TJWCBM's play is to get to 2024, then claim somehow that he is once again immune because he is a pResidential candidate. Not sure how that would work, but I just still think that it is the plan. Delay, delay, delay until he is Federally protected.

In any event, the tax stuff will go away because he will settle. Anything else, he has always sheltered himself by having that person, whoever, standing between him and whatever he is doing bad. He never does anything directly, so everything will have to be perfect to get him.
