Revenge is so sweet, thank you Cohen!!!!!!

Last edited Thu Jan 10, 2019, 08:11 PM - Edit history (3)

Cohen wants to testify before Dem House on TV in Feb since he wants revenge on tRump. This is like the John Dean and Nixon moment in Watergate. When Dean told us about Nixon and the tapes we finally knew that not only did he know about the crimes, but he ordered some of the crimes. The US public opinion finally turned against Nixon and his base, and that pressured the GOP at the time to turn on Nixon finally.

The fucking moron's base will get a few seeds planted in their tiny, little minds that their dear leader not only knew about Russia's crimes but worked with Russia and this continued after the election. When others testify, like Don Jr, more and more of his cult will turn against him.

The Dems said they would do this and they are keeping their word. We do not need to wait for Mueller's report to hope for his base to wake up to the truth. This IS scaring the fucking moron and he will be angry and dangerous more than he ever has. Find a good spot to hide but keep the party hats near by. Independence Day may be sooner than July 4th.

This is basically a summary from the beginning of Nicole Wallace's show today when she discussed the news with pundits.

For the juicy Russian collusion stuff. Cohen May do that at another committee in secret. Regardless, what he says will come out.

distractions from the White House. The pundits said a couple of times that the shut down will never end now. Expect more to come up besides the wall and shut down. He is terrified over what Cohen could tell and he knows EVERYTHING!

He suspected that there might have been some recording system but he had no actual knowledge that there was one. However, he tipped off investigators to the possibility, which led to their questioning of Alexander Butterfield - who was one of only two or three people besides Nixon himself who knew about the tapes.

In his testimony, Dean implicated administration officials, including Nixon fund-raiser and former Attorney General John Mitchell, Nixon, and himself. ... Dean was the first administration official to accuse Nixon of direct involvement with Watergate and the resulting cover-up in press interviews. Such testimony against Nixon, while damaging to the president's credibility, had little impact legally, as it was merely his word against Nixon's. Nixon vigorously denied all accusations against him that he had authorized a cover-up, and Dean had no corroboration beyond various notes he had taken in his meetings with the president. It was not until information about secret White House tape recordings having been made by President Nixon (disclosed in testimony by Alexander Butterfield, on July 16, 1973) and the tapes having been subpoenaed and analyzed that many of Dean's accusations were largely substantiated.

Mueller gave the Dems the OK to do it as far as not hurting and interfering with whatever Mueller has on him.

He will retaliate, he will do something stupid to try to save his butt, this rat has no concept of consequences, and that makes him very dangerous.

The military needs to prove its patriotism and keep a close watch on the rat.

If you think this is going to be some great revelation to them, you are wrong. They know he is incompetent, crooked, a sleazebag and in bed with the Russians. They also know he is a spittle spewing bigot and that’s all they care about.

Feb 7th. Someone noted that would then translate to more people working, and less able to watch the hearings. Seriously, dotard is truly capable of doing anything to try to save himself. Cohen is using the mafia code to even the score. Good for him.

IMO, Cohen needs beefed-up security from this point forward. Trumpy KNOWS that Cohen can sink him faster than Mueller. I'd be concerned that an assassin given the wink and nod by Putin, who gets the wink and nod from Trumpy, will do the deed. An assassination is NOT outside of Trumpy's spectrum of self-protective actions. Remember, Trumpy has no conscience. He will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to protect his power and accumulated wealth, including murder. There are no guard rails.

Remember when he said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and no one would care? Some of his base wouldn't care but some would. He thinks he is invincible so why not be brazen and kill Cohen.

Trump's deplorable base loves Russia and Putin. They also idolize lawbreakers (as long as it's not a Dem breaking the law).

Still nearly 70% of the public that can be educated, though.

That this is all a set up, he has been promised a pardon, he knows putin will do him and his family harm if he rats and he is going to pretend to tell the truth etc right up to the day and then he starts lying to protect rump.

Hope not.
