The point is on point as always. Remember when MAGA lovers said Cohen would never flip or that he has nothing on the Swamp? Guess what the "Fake News" was right again. Well Cohen was in the thick of things for at least a decade. Buckle up cult worshipers, it's not gonna be fun for you guys.

(CNN)On Tuesday night at 9 sharp, any pretense that Michael Cohen might still be in President Donald Trump's camp ended.

CNN | Michael Cohen has now officially turned on Donald Trump

And if there was ever any doubt. Mr. Swampy himself weighs in, in a childlike way:
What kind of a lawyer would tape a client? So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it before? Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things? I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped - can this be so? Too bad!

Trump doesn't care, he knows he has his solid base that would blindly support him if he shot somebody. Add into the bribe he is giving to farmers because of his failed trade wars, a GOP congress that won't impeach him and a SCOTUS pick that will accept it if he pardons himself and he's got the deck stacked firmly to support any illegal activity he does.

The only hope is to put off the SCOTUS nominee till after the midterms and the Dems to take back congress because the GOP will NEVER hold Trump truly accountable except with words.

Cohen has more tapes. So, my guess is he released the least damaging one last night. The ball is now in Trump's court. I'm not sure what Cohen is after, but he has not flipped. That is for sure. He's angling for something from Donny...perhaps a pardon.
 
Interesting, unsure how much damage it will do to Trump directly but we should expect some degree of fallout from this.
 
Why am I not surprised?

A pardon is about the only thing Mr. Swampy can give him...

What are your predictions? How much do you think "cult worshipers" are going to suffer?

If I was Cohen

I would want a pardon, and a depending on Trump's net worth, tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars

I doubt they will suffer

They will ignore the fact that they said they believed it never occurred, excuse Trump for his "moral failing" and enjoy sticking it to democrats and liberals as their most important goal

Well we have to see if anything actually comes from it, who knows what Cohen's end game is for this. I don't think that we've ever had such an embattled president from the get go with non-stop scandal and investigations. If he has something that can prove some of the accusations, then maybe there will be something to it.

Regardless, it won't stop the Swampy Cult, those guys live in another reality where Trump can do no wrong and the whole world is out to get him.

Well I must be missing something. The "Key" statements come at 3:15 in the tape.

I hear Cohen state "and I spoke to Alan about it when it comes to the financing, which will be..." where Trump interrupts stating "Listen, what financing?" and Cohen says "I have to pay...so," and Trump states "don't (or won't) pay cash," to which Cohen responds "No... no, no, no, no I got" and then is interrupted by someone.

So I am not sure this is damning evidence of anything in and of itself since it is unclear what they are talking about financing in the snippet presented.

Well, first Trump will have to set up a shell corporation to funnel the pay-off cash...er....checks through. LOL!

You know, the Trumpkins spinning this tape thingy offers me a perfect opportunity to point out another shiny example of Trumpkins, yet again, pissing on our leg and expecting us to believe it's raining. "You only think you heard what you are hearing." Too funny.

I wonder if Trump would use Cohen, to pay Cohen off and to keep Cohen from talking. Cohen after all would have an inside track as to what Cohen would want. A pure stable genius move by Trump if he does

Then it's a good thing that somewhere between "cultists" and their equally unthinking opposites are the rest of us in this country who don't enjoy anybody sticking it to anybody and who want our nation to get on with its business.
 
Oh, look ... the libs found another (#123) smoking gun ... :lamo

Trump has pissed in everybody’s Wheaties! Except Russia, China and PRNK......

Yes but those people in between are quiet, and at least for the last few years do not push much of the policies that have been going on in politics

Yes, yes, but it's everybody else's fault, not Trump's.

Well, most people don't "push policies" period. But that doesn't mean that they aren't paying attention or that they don't vote.
 
Don't believe the tape released means Cohen has flipped. It suggests that Cohen knows that if he is the link between Trump and National Enquirer in a fraud then he Cohen can clearly implicate Trump in a fraud if he does flip. That is all it is at this point and I wish the ever interested in salaciousness, MSM would just get off this story because it is pretty meaningless at this point. Trying to pull apart the meaning of this thing at this point is more proof that MSM will just be pulled to the shiny object every time. It get boring frankly and if I was in one of their board meetings that is what I would tell them. Its boring. You could probably imagine their shoulders slumping since they invest so much air time to salaciousness.
 
We have no idea, one way or the other, what Cohen knows or doesn't know. It is still very possible that Mueller himself is less than interested in Cohen.
 
It's odd that Cohen hasn't been offered a deal. It may mean that Mueller has enough.
 
Cohen has not shown prosecutors enough at this point. He is playing for a pardon still and until Cohen gives up on that, I don't think he will show the prosecutors enough to give him a deal. Once he ends up in a deal with the prosecutors, pardon is out and it looks to me like Cohen still wants to keep that option open. I think he is dreaming. I don't think Trump can pardon any of these people and get away with it politically.

So, you would blackmail the president?

I would want compensation for keeping quiet on something that could send me to jail, for a long time, and negatively effect my future earnings potential.

Or in other words if I was had already done illegal things for the president, (when he was a private citizen) why stop doing illegal things now.

Now if Trump did not do anything wrong, it would be impossible to blackmail him over those things
