(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)If Trump Falls, the Testimonies of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg Could Spark an anti-Semitic Backlash
The name of the lawyer who implicated Donald Trump in the commission of federal crimes is Cohen. The name of the publisher who has agreed to tell investigators how he turned his newspaper into a clearinghouse for Cohens payments to women is Pecker. And the name of the accountant who has been granted immunity in order to testify about the role played by the Trump Organization in Cohens endeavors is Weisselberg. The common denominators of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg, beside their willingness to do whatever it takes for Trump in the past and their apparent willingness to inform on him now, is that all three are indisputably and recognizably Jewish.
Even though its too much of a coincidence to ignore, politicians and pundits in the U.S. are in no hurry to dwell on the common characteristics of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg. Anyone who does so risks being accused of generalizing, if not actively encouraging anti-Semitism. But this is just the first act: Its clear that the Jewish gun will go off in the future, somewhere down the line. The racist, supremacist and neo-Nazi element of Trumps base is already drooling at the impending opportunity of enlisting disgruntled rank and file Trump fans in a battle against the Jewish conspiracy aimed at their idol.
They may not have to wait long. Trump is in serious trouble and its getting worse by the day. Cohens admissions in a New York courtroom last week that his payments to porns Stormy Daniels and Playboys Karen MacDougal were made in accordance with Trumps instructions have cast the President as a criminal who violated campaign finance laws. Peckers testimony could reportedly make clear that the two payments were part of a nefarious system. And Weisselbergs account, though currently limited to Cohens payments, could pave the way to exposure of the long line of alleged misdeeds carried out by Trump as real estate mogul, franchising czar, reality star, presidential candidate and commander in chief.
The road to impeachment is still long, at least until the elections that will be held in 70+ days. Republicans, nonetheless, seem to realize that a Rubicon was crossed this week, and that Trumps presidency is in real danger. Before Special Counsel Robert Mueller presents his findings on the cardinal question of Trumps alleged collusion with the Kremlin, Cohens hush money capers, hitherto regarded as a sideshow, have captured center stage. They threaten Trump directly, courtesy of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg.

I was thinking it would be more of a backlash against New York City and the various mafias which run there.
