45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. (Vol 6)
Discussion
Politico have a copy of what Cohen is expected to say
https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000169-2d31-dc75-...
Michael Cohen will allegedly make about the Trump Tower meeting and Trump's possible knowledge of it
On trumps Vietnam deferment: "Trump claimed it was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery ... He finished ... with the following comment. 'You think I'm stupid, I wasn't going to Vietnam.'"
According to the statement obtained by Politico, Cohen will say: "Trump is a conman. He asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair, and to lie to his wife about it, which I did. Lying to the First Lady is one of my biggest regrets"
"The President of the United States thus wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws."
And lied about it let's not forget, several times saying he knew nothing about it.
Oh today is going to be interesting.

The house has voted Voting 245-182, calling Trump’s border emergency the fraud it really is. Now it’s up to the Senate to also vote. The Dems only needs 4 reps to vote for it and it's suggested 7 will vote that way.

Several Republicans have said that the Democrats were at fault for the President's extraordinary act. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/26/us/politics/nat...
If only the Democrats had given him what he wanted, Trump would not have had to make the emergency declaration.
In other words, no opposition is acceptable. If you oppose Trump and the GOP, you are responsible for what they do.

"I pled guilty in federal court to felonies for the benefit of, at the direction of, and in coordination with Individual #1. For the record: Individual #1 is President Donald J. Trump"
"To be clear: Mr. Trump knew of and directed the Trump Moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it. He lied about it because he never expected to win the election. He also lied about it because he stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars."
This s everything the Russian assistance was about, money for trump, with the promise of relaxing sanctions.

Cohen will say that Trump had advanced knowledge through Roger Stone that WikiLeaks would publish hacked Clinton camp emails, according to the statement obtained by Politico.
"Mr. Trump knew from Roger Stone in advance about the WikiLeaks drop of emails"
"Stone told Mr. Trump that he had just gotten off the phone with Julian Assange and that Mr. Assange told Mr. Stone ... there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clinton's campaign. Mr. Trump responded by stating to the effect of 'wouldn’t that be great.''
"Mr. Trump knew from Roger Stone in advance about the WikiLeaks drop of emails"
"Stone told Mr. Trump that he had just gotten off the phone with Julian Assange and that Mr. Assange told Mr. Stone ... there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clinton's campaign. Mr. Trump responded by stating to the effect of 'wouldn’t that be great.''
Highlights:
Trump talked to Roger Stone directly about his coordination with WikiLeaks. Stone is alleged to have directly coordinated the WikiLeaks dumps with the Access Hollywood tape , which may well have been the single most influential mechanism in Russia's meddling campaign.
"Mr. Trump put Mr. Stone on the speakerphone. Mr. Stone told Mr. Trump that he had just gotten off the phone with Julian Assange and that Mr. Assange told Mr. Stone that within a couple of days there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign."
Roger Stone's indictment specifically notes that on the day of the Access Hollywood release, and subsequent WikiLeaks Dump, an “associate of the high-ranking Trump Campaign official sent a text message to STONE that read ‘well done.’"
Trump wrote a personal check (which Cohen is providing) to pay the hush money that constituted a felony campaign finance violation for which Michael Cohen is now going to prison.
The President of the United States thus wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws. You can find the details of that scheme, directed by Mr. Trump, in the pleadings in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York....I am providing a copy of a $35,000 check that President Trump personally signed from his personal bank account on August 1, 2017 – when he was President of the United States...to reimburse me...for the illegal hush money I paid on his behalf.
Trump made it clear Cohen was expected to lie about Trump Tower Moscow, and his lawyers edited the statement which lied about the timing. Michael Cohen has also pled guilty to that. This would appear to the basis of the Buzzfeed Story that SCO famously shot down without being specific about what it got wrong.
In conversations we had during the campaign, at the same time I was actively negotiating in Russia for him, he would look me in the eye and tell me there’s no business in Russia and then go out and lie to the American people by saying the same thing. In his way, he was telling me to lie....There were at least a half-dozen times between the Iowa Caucus in January 2016 and the end of June when he would ask me “How’s it going in Russia?” – referring to the Moscow Tower project. You need to know that Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers reviewed and edited my statement to Congress about the timing of the Moscow Tower negotiations before I gave it.
among the other documents he is bringing, financial records:
Copies of financial statements for 2011 – 2013 that he gave to such institutions as Deutsche Bank;
This will be for Trump's last two major projects underwritten by a legitimate lender: Miami Doral and the old DC Post Office building. Deutsche Bank is absolutely vital to the financial health of Trump Org.
Earlier this year, we learned that Trump was so dependent on these DB loans from this time period that he was still trying to leverage them to bail out his failing golf course in Scotland.
And, finally:
Copies of letters I wrote at Mr. Trump’s direction that threatened his high school, colleges, and the College Board not to release his grades or SAT scores.

It'll be hugely embarrassing for him though, at a time he's trying to appear staesmanlike
It's also clear that trump was still signing trump organisation checks whilst he was in office and he had divested his company to his sons as said. Thats opened up many of the emolument cases.

here's an interesting filing
The SCO says evidence in Roger Stone's case was found in accounts that were searched for the GRU case, in which 11 Russian military officers were charged with a conspiracy to interfere in the election. Following the evidence from the Russian side of the investigation led the Special Counsel's Office to Roger Stone.
"Several of those search warrants were executed on accounts that contained Stone's communications with Guccifer 2.0 and Organization 1 [Wikileaks]."

"to discuss the timing and promotion" of the release of the stolen emails

Vietnam is thriving like few places on earth. North Korea would be the same, and very quickly, if it would denuclearize. The potential is AWESOME, a great opportunity, like almost none other in history, for my friend Kim Jong Un. We will know fairly soon - Very Interesting!

Yes, it’s a real shining example of what can go right when you .... <checks notes> fight off what you perceive as US imperialism in a protracted no-holds-barred conflict and <checks notes again> ...establish a socialist state? Looks at Kim whos laughing because he swapped trumps notes...
Remember Whitaker and his perjury? Nadler sent him a letter basically saying we know you lied, come and tell us the truth or else, then we heard nothing.
Chairman Nadler posted this tweet this evening: “I want to thank Mr. Whitaker for volunteering to meet with us to clarify his House Judiciary testimony.” The question is, did he this time tell the truth about trump wanting him to interfere with investigations as Nadler has proof of? Either way, Whitaker should be charged.

Getz is in trouble? Pelosi posted on twitter: I encourage all Members to be mindful that comments made on social media or in the press can adversely affect the ability of House Committees to obtain the truthful and complete information necessary to fulfill their duties.

Which was followed by Getz: “Speaker, I want to get the truth too. While it is important 2 create context around the testimony of liars like Michael Cohen, it was NOT my intent to threaten, as some believe I did. I’m deleting the tweet & I should have chosen words that better showed my intent. I’m sorry.”
Too late I think.Not only the ethics committee but possible witness tampering in a Mueller/SDNY investigation?
Amazing how many people are still prepared to throw away their careers for trump.

t, I think it may be Vietnam which will turn his supporters against him.I just can't see it being any different that it already has been though, it is just validation of previous claims ... which no-one cared about, it might further damage him abroad but amongst his base and peers it will just be seen as (delete as appropriate) lies, the-left. Democrat's, deep state, conspiracy, etc.
