Rudy also said there would “be no daylight” between he and the POTUS.....

That's because the **** fills in the gaps.
 
Per the WSJ, 45 paid Cohen $774,000 to "fix" his messes during 2016. As Cohen told Donnie Deutch yesterday, he has a story to tell.

The mere fact that I'd have to start a thread on North Korea after this many days says all you need to know about this puke of a board.

I know, right? How long do we have to wait before someone starts talking about what we want to talk about!

Funny you mention Donny Deutsch, in a Trump-Cohen thread. Apparently he's dating Marla Maples!

Small world, huh?

So....in your mind, if we talk about the president's blatant lies about the porn star that makes it the mutually exclusive conversation and it negates the NG story?

You really need to learn to multi task and not be so damned triggered.

So far, he's defeated ISIS, possibly ended the Korean War, and dropped unemployment to 3.9%.

Stormy is just your excuse to talk about something else.

America isn't buying it.

In the alternate universe where Erod resides if Obama had done this:

Hah!

Obama ****s a porn star, pays for her silence weeks before the election so the American people won't find out, and liberals try to deflect to the economy, killing Bin Laden and him ending the Iraq War!

If a Republican had done this they'd be calling for his head!

Actually it looks like Mr. Giuliani DID "misspeak" since Mr. Trump did not pay the money directly to Ms. Clifford but rather just gave money to Mr. Cohen to use as he felt like using it (and without having to account for it by doing such mundane tasks as sending bills for legal services) and them Mr. Cohen went out and borrowed money against his own house which he gave to Ms. Clifford and then Mr. Cohen used the money that Mr. Trump was giving him to pay off that loan and Mr. Trump never gave Mr. Cohen an additional $130,000 to compensate for the three months worth of payments that Mr. Trump have made to Mr. Cohen for which Mr. Cohen didn't actually have to do anything and which he could use in any manner he felt like using the monthly payments.

So, you see, absolutely none of Mr. Trump's money was used to pay off Ms. Clifford since the money was Mr. Cohen's money once it was paid out of Mr. Cohen's law firm's trust account and deposited into Mr. Cohen's bank account.

PS - I'm having a sale on "Armpit Waders" ("Hip Waders" simply won't do the trick) for the people who want to try working their way through Mr. Trump's "explanation" of why someone would pay $130,000 of their own money to prevent someone else from telling about an action that never took place and which involved someone that Mr. Trump didn't know (and hadn't even met).

How many versions of the origin and who had knowledge of this payment are we up to now? We probably need to start numbering them so that we keep track.

"Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said Wednesday that*President Trump*reimbursed his personal attorney Michael Cohen the $130,000 paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about their alleged affair."

Oh, FFS. This president cannot go two hours without lying and screwing up something else. Mueller is going to roast him like a pig. What I wonder is how this works with the unsure timing of the Cohen case in SDNY.

Anybody else notice the look on Hannity's face, saying, "I didn't know that." It was like he was upset that Trump didn't run this by him before Guilani came out and announced it on his show. I sure Hannity will try to clean this up for Trump though.

You'd think Trump and his "legal team" would spend at least a couple of minutes to get their stories' straight. Good grief.

Trump is now saying that Guilani was new to the legal team and to give him time to "get his facts straight." lol

How long is this going to go on? At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry Springer joins the Trump team. He does have political experience... :mrgreen:

Guiliani used "alternative facts" apparently...Translated:.....He knew the information was out there, so why bother lying anymore...Now he has to lie about what he said..The farce continues
 
Unconfirmed reports from the White House indicate that Mr. Trump's lawyers have already started preparing him for his session with Mr. Mueller.

Apparently they have already held the first four hour "briefing session" and have managed to walk Mr. Trump through 2 of the possible several hundred questions which Mr. Mueller might ask.

Further "briefing sessions" appear to be slated on a weekly basis, so Mr. Trump should be ready to meet with Mr. Mueller in roughly one year (PLUS) - on the assumption that he will actually remember what his answers are supposed to be.

Admittedly Mr. Trump does have the same Constitutional Right to refuse to answer question "on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me", but one does wonder exactly how much credibility a President of the United States of America who "takes the Fifth" is going to have.
