Since being fired by President Donald Trump as secretary of state, Rex Tillerson has kept a very low profile. But on Thursday night in Houston, Tillerson broke that silence in a big way.
Here's how he described the "why" behind the breakdown of his relationship with the President, according to the Houston Chronicle:
"So often, the President would say here's what I want to do and here's how I want to do it and I would have to say to him, Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can't do it that way. It violates the law."
Um, what???
The President of the United States would tell the secretary of state how he wanted things done and the secretary of state would have to tell him it couldn't be done the way he wanted because that was illegal?
This is all fine!
What's scary about Tillerson's admission? A few things.
1) Trump either doesn't know the law or doesn't care about the law
2) This isn't the first time we've heard of this sort of I-am-the-law, Judge Dredd-like behavior from the President.
On that second point, remember that former FBI director James Comey has testified -- under oath -- that Trump, in a one-on-one meeting, asked him to put aside the Justice Department investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. The President publicly pressured then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to take up an investigation of Hillary Clinton's email server. (Clinton was not charged in a previous FBI investigation.)
Time and time again -- particularly in his interactions with the Justice Department -- Trump has shown that he has zero understanding of the limits of his job.
Tillerson described Trump as "a man who's undisciplined, doesn't like to read, doesn't read briefing reports, doesn't like to get into the details of a lot of things but rather says 'this is what I believe.'"
That approach is broadly in keeping with Trump's experience in the private sector. In business, he largely did what he wanted -- rules (and consequences) be damned. If things went bad, the penalty, usually, was bankruptcy -- and Trump believed he could just deal and talk his way out of that sort of thing.
View this interactive content on CNN.com Trump has never understood the distinctions between being the head (figurehead, some would say) of a company and being the President of the United States. In his dealings with Sessions -- and Tillerson -- Trump's assumption is that they will do whatever he tells them to do because, well, he's the boss.
The idea that Tillerson, Sessions and the rest of the administration ultimately serve a) the people of the country and b) the rule of law is seemingly lost on Trump.
Need more evidence? Trump never forgave Sessions for recusing himself from the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Why? "Jeff Sessions takes the job, gets into the job, recuses himself, which frankly I think is very unfair to the President," Trump told The New York Times in July 2017. "It's extremely unfair -- and that's a mild word -- to the President."
That Sessions recused himself to prevent any perception of bias in the investigation -- you know, for the good of the country and all that -- was totally lost on Trump. His only reaction to the situation was: This is bad for me, and so Sessions shouldn't have done it.
Which, really, says it all.
Trump's total ignorance of the law -- whether willful or just from sheer obtuseness -- is, at this point, a defining characteristic of his presidency. He simply doesn't get that there are limits on his power, limits put in place to preserve the office of the presidency -- and the broader institutions of our democracy.
We have a President who, according to his one-time FBI director and his first secretary of state, repeatedly proposed ideas that were in violation of established laws.

Prosecutors Recommend ‘Substantial’ Jail Time for Cohen
December 7, 2018 at 4:56 pm EST By Taegan Goddard —56 Comments
Federal prosecutors Friday requested that the court impose “a substantial term of imprisonment” for Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen, CNN reports.
Prosecutors said the crimes Cohen had committed “marked a pattern of deception that permeated his professional life,” and though he was seeking a reduced sentence for providing assistance to the government, he did not deserve much leniency.
Said prosecutors: “He was motivated to do so by personal greed, and repeatedly used his power and influence for deceptive ends.”
Washington Post: “Cohen had asked for a sentence of no prison time, citing his cooperation with investigators, but prosecutors for the Southern District of New York filed a memo arguing that he should serve significant time, possibly years, in prison.” _______________

Trump is going to running for election during a recession
Stocks dropped sharply on Friday, concluding what has been a wild week for Wall Street. A weaker-than-expected jobs report and China-U.S. trade tensions sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower by 558.72 points to 24,388.95 and erased its gains for the year.
At one point, the Dow was up more than 8 percent for 2018.
BREAKING: New Mueller filing says Trump's ex-lawyer Michael Cohen was in touch with a Russian seeking 'political synergy' with campaign.
The unidentified Russian said that a meeting between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could have a "phenomenal" impact "not only in political but in a business dimension as well."
President Donald Trump has, for the first time, become an unindicted co-conspirator, analysts said following the release of a sentencing memo on Friday.
Among the details in the memo, which track with reporting on the Stormy Daniels hush-money payoff, is a description of criminal behavior that includes the president, identified as Individual-1 throughout.

“During the campaign, Cohen played a central role in two similar schemes to purchase the rights to stories – each from women who claimed to have had an affair with Individual-1 – so as to suppress the stories and thereby prevent them from influencing the election. With respect to both payments, Cohen acted with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. Cohen coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls, about the fact, nature, and timing of the payments. In particular, and as Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1. As a result of Cohen’s actions, neither woman spoke to the press prior to the election,” the memo reads.
MAGA!!! Yep....it is amazing how trumps fat white old ass can create that much gas under his sheets....LOLOLOLOL He's a great natural gas generator!!!!
A little lesson for the ignorant among us. Cohan was charged a pleaded guilty of an illegal contribution for paying off Stormy Daniels with his own money.
A conspericy in this case was not possible because if Trump directed it and reimbursed Cohan, then there would have been no law that was broken and therefore no conspericy.
As we seen from the trial of John Edwards, juries look dimly on the idea of criminalizing private personnel matters just because one of the parties is a candidate for public office.
A separate sentencing memo filed by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III was somewhat kinder to Cohen, saying that while his crime was “serious,” he had “taken significant steps to mitigate his criminal conduct.”
“He chose to accept responsibility for his false statements and admit to his conduct in open court. He also has gone to significant lengths to assist the special counsel’s investigation,” they wrote.
The special counsel’s office credited Cohen with significant cooperation — including providing “useful information concerning certain discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation that he obtained by virtue of his regular contact” with Trump organization executives during the campaign, as well as “relevant and useful information concerning his contacts with persons connected to the White House during the 2017–2018 time period.”
They revealed that Cohen told them of what seemed to be a previously unknown November 2015 contact from a Russian national, who claimed to be a “trusted person” in the Russian Federation offering the campaign “political synergy” and “synergy on a government level.”
Isn't correct. The Muller investigation is starting that the sitting President cannot be indicted. The question remains whether is will the house of Representatives pursues impeachment, this may reach the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Synergy is possibly a synonym for collusion between his campaign and business with the Russians.
In what has been a slow drip of information on Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, the spigot opened up today with insight on four key players:
1) Michael Cohen: Mueller's investigators today asked the court to impose a "substantial term of imprisonment" for Cohen's various finance-related crimes -- and that Cohen "was motivated ... by personal greed, and repeatedly used his power and influence for deceptive ends." Why it matters: While prosecutors don't mince words about Cohen -- and stop short of calling him a cooperative witness -- they do say he has been helpful in the investigation, providing "relevant and useful information" on contacts with "persons connected to the White House." Cohen is set to be sentenced next Wednesday.
2) Paul Manafort: Manafort lied about five major issues during his cooperation with Mueller's investigation, Mueller's filing said, including his cooperation with administration officials and interaction with a Russian associate. Why it matters: We found out last week that Mueller's team accused Manafort of lying, and now we know what they think Manafort was lying about. What Manafort knows has been crucial -- he has long been considered the key to several questions central to Mueller's investigation into Russia and the 2016 campaign. This could now lead to more criminal charges.
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani said early Friday that Mueller accused Manafort of lying about Trump.
3) James Comey: The former FBI chief faced sharp questions in a closed-door, day-long meeting as Republicans sought answers on Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Comey declined to answer many of them, according to members from both parties. Why it matters: Comey fought to have this hearing made public: Expect to see a transcript of the interview released in the next 24 hours.
4) John Kelly: Mueller's investigators interviewed the chief of staff about possible obstruction of justice (Kelly is reportedly leaving the administration in coming days). Why it matters: Kelly is important because he's another senior administration official talking to investigators -- and also joined the Trump team after the campaign wrapped up. It could mean Muller's investigation expands beyond the campaign and transition, since most of the other interviews have been with campaign or transition team members.
The Trump report?: Mueller's report isn't out yet, but President Donald Trump is already beginning to discredit it. Regardless of what Mueller finds, Trump promised his own report, via tweet Friday morning. "We will be doing a major Counter Report to the Mueller Report. This should never again be allowed to happen to a future President of the United States!"
The U.S. trade deficit widened to USD 55.5 billion in October of 2018 from an upwardly revised USD 54.6 billion in the previous month and compared with market expectations of a USD 54.9 billion gap. It is the highest deficit since October of 2008 as lower soybean sales weighed down on exports and imports reached a new record high. Balance of Trade in the United States averaged -14496.69 USD Million from 1950 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 1946 USD Million in June of 1975 and a record low of -67823 USD Million in August of 2006.
During the campaign Trump said that he would reduce the trade deficit to zero.
After 8 years of basically zero interest rates under the magic negro the Federal Reserve has been on a non-stop tear in rate hike after rate hike Slamming the economic brake to the floor board with two feet.
Individual-1 began an ultimately successful campaign for the President of the United States. After directing his attorney to violate campaign finance laws.
Except for that little part where the US Attorney’s Office says that the President directed and coordinated with Cohen to commit two felonies. Other than that, he's totally scot-free.
His own Department of Justice has been conducting the investigation.
The stock market has erased all its gains for 2018, and worse may be in store. Why? Because the 2018 gains were steroidal, based not on the real economy but on the Trump-Republican tax cut for corporations and the rich. Corporations used their savings to artificially inflate share prices by buying back stock. Wealthy Americans used their tax savings to buy stock, too (the wealthy only spend a small fraction of their yearly income).
It should come as no surprise that the resulting gains in stock prices were temporary. Meanwhile, very little of the benefits of the tax cut trickled down to average Americans. Then came Trump's trade war, which is acting exactly like a tax on about a third of what Americans purchase. Net result: The real economy is slowing.
The Wall Street Journal reports that parallel with the Fake News CNN and the other enemies of the people.
Mueller’s Team Says Cohen Gave Significant Help on Russia Probe https://www.wsj.com/articles/prosecutors-call-for-substantial-prison-term-for-michael-cohen-1544219750
This scandal can’t be hidden away. Republicans in Congress can’t save Trump, his attorney general can’t save him, and no amount of desperate tweets can save him. Accountability is on its way, and it’s arriving very soon.
The fact the unelected bureaucrats think they have a right to "rein in" duly elected leaders of the government should send a chill through all freedom loving Americans.
And yet some how the liberal media sees it as no big scandal.

Mueller’s Team Says Cohen Gave Significant Help on Russia Probe
that's all well and good alky, but the mueller memo paints cohen as a liar and deceiver.
so you would have us believe that we are to take the word of a liar to bring down a president just because you and several million like you are suffering from stage IV TDS.
huh.
that sounds like a deal only an asshole who is consumed by an irrational rage would make.
And remember when on AF 1 he referred all questions about payments to his lawyer.....IOW's he knew everything at the time and knew it was an illegal act...just like everything else he BS's his way through.......
Calling on the court to impose a sentence of substantial imprisonment against Michael Cohen, the president’s former personal attorney, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York stated that Mr. Trump, the Trump Organization and the campaign were all directly involved in an illegal scheme to silence two women who claimed they had affairs with Mr. Trump. Prosecutors wrote that payments made by Mr. Cohen and other actions were taken “with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election” and pursued “in coordination with and at the direction of Individual 1” — that is, Mr. Trump.
The Trump Organization’s reimbursements to Mr. Cohen for payments were fraudulently disguised as legal fees — and, according to the memo, were approved by senior executives at the organization. The New York prosecutors also disclosed that they are investigating additional unspecified matters involving Mr. Cohen and, presumably, the Trump Organization. In light of these disclosures, the likelihood that the company and the Trump campaign face charges is now high.
Although President Trump may avoid a similar fate because the Justice Department is unlikely to indict a sitting president, he could be named as an unindicted co-conspirator, as was President Richard Nixon, or charged if he leaves office before the statute of limitations runs out (most likely in 2022).
i certainly hope so. if house democrats choose to impeach, they ensure trump's reelection.
so yes, let's impeach. in fact, i would hope that golden corral nadler and lil schitt would have the foresight to have the articles drawn up right now. strike while the iron is hot, as they say.
the sooner the house can impeach, the sooner the senate can say "uh... yeah, well, uh... uh...NO."
AND JOURNALISTS WONDER WHY NOBODY BELIEVES THEM NOW? Journalists lauded former Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from all matters involving the investigation of allegations of collusion between 2016 Trump campaign aides and Russian interests in order to avoid even the appearance of conflicts of interest.
But what about the mainstream media’s conflicts of interests? Journalism ethics dictate that journalists never make themselves part of the story, but, as the Last Refuge’s Sundance makes clear, there have been more than a few reporters who made themselves part of “The Resistance” to President Donald Trump, via the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his staff.
Virtually all of the major mainstream media players are involved in this kind of ethical corruption, but Exhibit A is the meeting first reported by Sara Carter of federal prosecutor Andrew Weissman with four AP reporters to discuss the investigation of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
As Sundance writes, “later it was revealed that Andrew Weissman, Robert Mueller’s #1 special counsel prosecutor, was coordinating investigative efforts with the full support of four AP reporters who were giving Weissman tips. That’s information from journalists to use in his court filings and submitted search warrants. Make sure you grasp this: The AP journalists were feeding information to their ideological allies within the special counsel.”
Put another way, instead of getting information from their sources to be reported to the public, it appears that these AP operatives effectively made themselves researchers for Mueller’s operation, via a federal prosecutor long known to have committed serious violations of judicial ethics.
They joined the team they were supposedly covering.
No wonder Sundance asks:
“Think about a New York Times, CNN, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones, Yahoo News or Washington Post journalist now having to write an article deconstructing a foundation of two-years worth of lies they participated in creating. Do we really think such a catastrophic level of corrupted journalism could reconstitute into genuine reporting of fact-based information?”
Put another way, instead of getting information from their sources to be reported to the public, it appears that these AP operatives effectively made themselves researchers for Mueller’s operation,
One of the FBI memos indicates that the AP did get some information at the meeting. At the conclusion of the session, reporters got a vague assurance that they “appeared to have a good understanding of Manafort’s business dealings,” one memo says. The same memo says the meeting was “arranged” by Andrew Weissmann, then the chief of the fraud section of Justice’s Criminal Division and now the top prosecutor on the Manafort case.
Circular reporting or false confirmation is a situation in source criticism where a piece of information appears to come from multiple independent sources, but in reality comes from only one source.[1][2] In many cases, the problem happens mistakenly through sloppy intelligence gathering practices. However, at other times the situation can be intentionally contrived by the original source as a way of reinforcing the widespread belief in its information.[3]
This problem occurs in a variety of fields, including intelligence gathering,[2] journalism, and scholarly research. It is of particular concern in military intelligence because the original source has a higher likelihood of wanting to pass on misinformation, and because the chain of reporting is more prone to being obscured. The case of the 2002 Niger uranium forgeries was a classic instance of circular reporting by intelligence agencies.[4]
For the first time, federal prosecutors of the Donald Trump administration Department of Justice, say that Trump directed Cohen to make payments designed to silence women who claimed affairs with Trump.
Donald J. Trump Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Arizona, together with our Military and Border Patrol, is bracing for a massive surge at a NON-WALLED area. WE WILL NOT LET THEM THROUGH. Big danger. Nancy and Chuck must approve Boarder Security and the Wall!
Yep,,,,,dumb as a rock.....directing cohen to use campaign funds to pay off his hookers.....they got him dead to nutz as individual 1 in the cohen report......he's pretty fucked, cramps in spite of you thinking otherwise...
Cohen didn't direct campaign funds, he never worked for the campaign and didn't even have authority buy post-it notes for it. What he was charged with and what he pleaded guilty to was giving an unreported contribution by paying off the women with his own money.
It is the one charge he problably could have beat because Trump was caught on tape saying he had every intention of reimbursing him but it was Cohan who refused the money.
Not one of your usual right wing websites are claiming that the President is innocent.
well alky, it's like this -
to us on the right, any man, including trump, enjoys the presumption of innocence until PROVEN guilty.
as opposed to you totalitarian cocksuckers who have presumed trump guilty ever since mueller was appointed because you simply refused to accept the result of a free and fair election.
us normals refer to it as DUE PROCESS. we still use it, even though your side has dispensed with it.
so no, i would not expect those sites that give a voice to the right to be declaring trump innocent since the release of the memos has only just begun.
For the first time, federal prosecutors of the Donald Trump administration Department of Justice, say that Trump directed Cohen to make payments designed to silence women who claimed affairs with Trump.

A polycystic liver can look like a cluster of very large grapes. Cysts also can grow independently in different parts of the liver. The cysts, if they get too numerous or large, may cause discomfort and health complications.

Prosecutors Recommend ‘Substantial’ Jail Time for Cohen
December 7, 2018 at 4:56 pm EST By Taegan Goddard —56 Comments
Federal prosecutors Friday requested that the court impose “a substantial term of imprisonment” for Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen, CNN reports.
Prosecutors said the crimes Cohen had committed “marked a pattern of deception that permeated his professional life,” and though he was seeking a reduced sentence for providing assistance to the government, he did not deserve much leniency.
Said prosecutors: “He was motivated to do so by personal greed, and repeatedly used his power and influence for deceptive ends.”
Washington Post: “Cohen had asked for a sentence of no prison time, citing his cooperation with investigators, but prosecutors for the Southern District of New York filed a memo arguing that he should serve significant time, possibly years, in prison.”

Stocks dropped sharply on Friday, concluding what has been a wild week for Wall Street. A weaker-than-expected jobs report and China-U.S. trade tensions sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower by 558.72 points to 24,388.95 and erased its gains for the year.
At one point, the Dow was up more than 8 percent for 2018.
BREAKING: New Mueller filing says Trump's ex-lawyer Michael Cohen was in touch with a Russian seeking 'political synergy' with campaign.
The unidentified Russian said that a meeting between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could have a "phenomenal" impact "not only in political but in a business dimension as well."

President Donald Trump has, for the first time, become an unindicted co-conspirator, analysts said following the release of a sentencing memo on Friday.
Among the details in the memo, which track with reporting on the Stormy Daniels hush-money payoff, is a description of criminal behavior that includes the president, identified as Individual-1 throughout.

“During the campaign, Cohen played a central role in two similar schemes to purchase the rights to stories – each from women who claimed to have had an affair with Individual-1 – so as to suppress the stories and thereby prevent them from influencing the election. With respect to both payments, Cohen acted with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. Cohen coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls, about the fact, nature, and timing of the payments. In particular, and as Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1. As a result of Cohen’s actions, neither woman spoke to the press prior to the election,” the memo reads.
MAGA!!!

"Unindicted co-conspirator" = innocent man.
A little lesson for the ignorant among us. Cohan was charged a pleaded guilty of an illegal contribution for paying off Stormy Daniels with his own money.
A conspericy in this case was not possible because if Trump directed it and reimbursed Cohan, then there would have been no law that was broken and therefore no conspericy.
As we seen from the trial of John Edwards, juries look dimly on the idea of criminalizing private personnel matters just because one of the parties is a candidate for public office.
A separate sentencing memo filed by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III was somewhat kinder to Cohen, saying that while his crime was “serious,” he had “taken significant steps to mitigate his criminal conduct.”
“He chose to accept responsibility for his false statements and admit to his conduct in open court. He also has gone to significant lengths to assist the special counsel’s investigation,” they wrote.
The special counsel’s office credited Cohen with significant cooperation — including providing “useful information concerning certain discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation that he obtained by virtue of his regular contact” with Trump organization executives during the campaign, as well as “relevant and useful information concerning his contacts with persons connected to the White House during the 2017–2018 time period.”
They revealed that Cohen told them of what seemed to be a previously unknown November 2015 contact from a Russian national, who claimed to be a “trusted person” in the Russian Federation offering the campaign “political synergy” and “synergy on a government level.”
When he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1 in violation of the campaign laws, individual-1 committed a felony.
If Individual-1 is the President he directed a conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws.
"Unindicted co-conspirator" = innocent man.
Isn't correct. The Muller investigation is starting that the sitting President cannot be indicted. The question remains whether is will the house of Representatives pursues impeachment, this may reach the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors.
The President directed his lawyer to commit two crimes against the campaign laws.
The judiciary committee has the authority to prosecute the President for impeachment.
Even more explosive is

Synergy is possibly a synonym for collusion between his campaign and business with the Russians.

The new reports are a bombshell.
Chris Cillizza
In what has been a slow drip of information on Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, the spigot opened up today with insight on four key players:
1) Michael Cohen: Mueller's investigators today asked the court to impose a "substantial term of imprisonment" for Cohen's various finance-related crimes -- and that Cohen "was motivated ... by personal greed, and repeatedly used his power and influence for deceptive ends."
Why it matters: While prosecutors don't mince words about Cohen -- and stop short of calling him a cooperative witness -- they do say he has been helpful in the investigation, providing "relevant and useful information" on contacts with "persons connected to the White House." Cohen is set to be sentenced next Wednesday.
2) Paul Manafort: Manafort lied about five major issues during his cooperation with Mueller's investigation, Mueller's filing said, including his cooperation with administration officials and interaction with a Russian associate.
Why it matters: We found out last week that Mueller's team accused Manafort of lying, and now we know what they think Manafort was lying about. What Manafort knows has been crucial -- he has long been considered the key to several questions central to Mueller's investigation into Russia and the 2016 campaign. This could now lead to more criminal charges.
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani said early Friday that Mueller accused Manafort of lying about Trump.
3) James Comey: The former FBI chief faced sharp questions in a closed-door, day-long meeting as Republicans sought answers on Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Comey declined to answer many of them, according to members from both parties.
Why it matters: Comey fought to have this hearing made public: Expect to see a transcript of the interview released in the next 24 hours.
4) John Kelly: Mueller's investigators interviewed the chief of staff about possible obstruction of justice (Kelly is reportedly leaving the administration in coming days).
Why it matters: Kelly is important because he's another senior administration official talking to investigators -- and also joined the Trump team after the campaign wrapped up. It could mean Muller's investigation expands beyond the campaign and transition, since most of the other interviews have been with campaign or transition team members.
The Trump report?: Mueller's report isn't out yet, but President Donald Trump is already beginning to discredit it. Regardless of what Mueller finds, Trump promised his own report, via tweet Friday morning. "We will be doing a major Counter Report to the Mueller Report. This should never again be allowed to happen to a future President of the United States!"
The U.S. trade deficit widened to USD 55.5 billion in October of 2018 from an upwardly revised USD 54.6 billion in the previous month and compared with market expectations of a USD 54.9 billion gap. It is the highest deficit since October of 2008 as lower soybean sales weighed down on exports and imports reached a new record high. Balance of Trade in the United States averaged -14496.69 USD Million from 1950 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 1946 USD Million in June of 1975 and a record low of -67823 USD Million in August of 2006.
During the campaign Trump said that he would reduce the trade deficit to zero.
Are Pres. Trumps 2 terms over?.
"During the campaign Trump said that he would reduce the trade deficit to zero."
Is that verbatim?
After 8 years of basically zero interest rates under the magic negro the Federal Reserve has been on a non-stop tear in rate hike after rate hike
Slamming the economic brake to the floor board with two feet.
President Donald Trump will officiate the coin toss at the upcoming Army-Navy game on Saturday."
Let's see what the Troops think of Naco- President.
Individual-1 began an ultimately successful campaign for the President of the United States. After directing his attorney to violate campaign finance laws.
Except for that little part where the US Attorney’s Office says that the President directed and coordinated with Cohen to commit two felonies. Other than that, he's totally scot-free.
His own Department of Justice has been conducting the investigation.
The stock market has erased all its gains for 2018, and worse may be in store. Why? Because the 2018 gains were steroidal, based not on the real economy but on the Trump-Republican tax cut for corporations and the rich. Corporations used their savings to artificially inflate share prices by buying back stock. Wealthy Americans used their tax savings to buy stock, too (the wealthy only spend a small fraction of their yearly income).
It should come as no surprise that the resulting gains in stock prices were temporary. Meanwhile, very little of the benefits of the tax cut trickled down to average Americans. Then came Trump's trade war, which is acting exactly like a tax on about a third of what Americans purchase. Net result: The real economy is slowing.
Again, watch your wallets.

Scott will stay the information is circumstantial evidence. It's used by prosecutors on cases every single day.
This scandal can’t be hidden away. Republicans in Congress can’t save Trump, his attorney general can’t save him, and no amount of desperate tweets can save him. Accountability is on its way, and it’s arriving very soon.
So the whole imvestigation was never about collusion but about "reining Trump in".
Washington (CNN)In the hectic eight days after President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and top FBI officials viewed Trump as a leader who needed to be reined in, according to two sources describing the sentiment at the time.
The fact the unelected bureaucrats think they have a right to "rein in" duly elected leaders of the government should send a chill through all freedom loving Americans.
And yet some how the liberal media sees it as no big scandal.
President Trump is still in office.
Too bad liberals, Mueller is not going to change that fact.

Any asshole or trump ass aucker think he is having a good day???? If you do....your dumber than the rock that hit the SS in the head....
And remember when on AF 1 he referred all questions about payments to his lawyer.....IOW's he knew everything at the time and knew it was an illegal act...just like everything else he BS's his way through.......
Calling on the court to impose a sentence of substantial imprisonment against Michael Cohen, the president’s former personal attorney, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York stated that Mr. Trump, the Trump Organization and the campaign were all directly involved in an illegal scheme to silence two women who claimed they had affairs with Mr. Trump. Prosecutors wrote that payments made by Mr. Cohen and other actions were taken “with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election” and pursued “in coordination with and at the direction of Individual 1” — that is, Mr. Trump.
The Trump Organization’s reimbursements to Mr. Cohen for payments were fraudulently disguised as legal fees — and, according to the memo, were approved by senior executives at the organization. The New York prosecutors also disclosed that they are investigating additional unspecified matters involving Mr. Cohen and, presumably, the Trump Organization. In light of these disclosures, the likelihood that the company and the Trump campaign face charges is now high.
Although President Trump may avoid a similar fate because the Justice Department is unlikely to indict a sitting president, he could be named as an unindicted co-conspirator, as was President Richard Nixon, or charged if he leaves office before the statute of limitations runs out (most likely in 2022).

so yes, let's impeach. in fact, i would hope that golden corral nadler and lil schitt would have the foresight to have the articles drawn up right now. strike while the iron is hot, as they say.

DECEMBER 7, 2018
AND JOURNALISTS WONDER WHY NOBODY BELIEVES THEM NOW? Journalists lauded former Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from all matters involving the investigation of allegations of collusion between 2016 Trump campaign aides and Russian interests in order to avoid even the appearance of conflicts of interest.
But what about the mainstream media’s conflicts of interests? Journalism ethics dictate that journalists never make themselves part of the story, but, as the Last Refuge’s Sundance makes clear, there have been more than a few reporters who made themselves part of “The Resistance” to President Donald Trump, via the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his staff.
Virtually all of the major mainstream media players are involved in this kind of ethical corruption, but Exhibit A is the meeting first reported by Sara Carter of federal prosecutor Andrew Weissman with four AP reporters to discuss the investigation of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
As Sundance writes, “later it was revealed that Andrew Weissman, Robert Mueller’s #1 special counsel prosecutor, was coordinating investigative efforts with the full support of four AP reporters who were giving Weissman tips. That’s information from journalists to use in his court filings and submitted search warrants. Make sure you grasp this: The AP journalists were feeding information to their ideological allies within the special counsel.”
Put another way, instead of getting information from their sources to be reported to the public, it appears that these AP operatives effectively made themselves researchers for Mueller’s operation, via a federal prosecutor long known to have committed serious violations of judicial ethics.
They joined the team they were supposedly covering.
No wonder Sundance asks:
“Think about a New York Times, CNN, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones, Yahoo News or Washington Post journalist now having to write an article deconstructing a foundation of two-years worth of lies they participated in creating. Do we really think such a catastrophic level of corrupted journalism could reconstitute into genuine reporting of fact-based information?”
Not gonna happen.

One of the FBI memos indicates that the AP did get some information at the meeting. At the conclusion of the session, reporters got a vague assurance that they “appeared to have a good understanding of Manafort’s business dealings,” one memo says. The same memo says the meeting was “arranged” by Andrew Weissmann, then the chief of the fraud section of Justice’s Criminal Division and now the top prosecutor on the Manafort case.

Circular reporting or false confirmation is a situation in source criticism where a piece of information appears to come from multiple independent sources, but in reality comes from only one source.[1][2] In many cases, the problem happens mistakenly through sloppy intelligence gathering practices. However, at other times the situation can be intentionally contrived by the original source as a way of reinforcing the widespread belief in its information.[3]
This problem occurs in a variety of fields, including intelligence gathering,[2] journalism, and scholarly research. It is of particular concern in military intelligence because the original source has a higher likelihood of wanting to pass on misinformation, and because the chain of reporting is more prone to being obscured. The case of the 2002 Niger uranium forgeries was a classic instance of circular reporting by intelligence agencies.[4]

WASHINGTON, D.C.—A feud between former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and President Trump erupted Friday as Tillerson revealed that he constantly had to tell Trump he wasn't able to bomb Wakanda, the fictional African country depicted in the Marvel film Black Panther.
Tillerson would calmly explain to Trump that not only did Wakanda have advanced technology that far surpassed that of the United States military, but the country was also entirely made up.
"We'd be sitting in these strategy meetings and Trump would always pipe in with things like, 'I keep coming back to Wakanda. This vibranium could be very huge. Very huge,'" Tillerson said in a rare moment of candor. "And I'd have to say, 'Mr. President, with all due respect, Wakanda isn't a real place.'"
Tillerson claims the president would grow very upset when informed that Wakanda couldn't be bombed because it only existed in Marvel comics, shows, and films. "That isn't thinking like a winner. That's loser thinking. We've gotta go out there and get it. Just get our best people on it, right away," Trump reportedly said when reminded for a third time that week that it was physically impossible for the United States to invade the imaginary land. "I saw a very good documentary about these people over the weekend on Netflix. It looked very real, very official. Not fake news."
At publishing time, Tillerson had also revealed that Trump constantly attempted to send the US military to the fictional Middle Eastern kingdom of Agrabah.
? He paid blackmailers?

Yep,,,,,dumb as a rock.....directing cohen to use campaign funds to pay off his hookers.....they got him dead to nutz as individual 1 in the cohen report......he's pretty fucked, cramps in spite of you thinking otherwise...
Cohen didn't direct campaign funds, he never worked for the campaign and didn't even have authority buy post-it notes for it. What he was charged with and what he pleaded guilty to was giving an unreported contribution by paying off the women with his own money.
It is the one charge he problably could have beat because Trump was caught on tape saying he had every intention of reimbursing him but it was Cohan who refused the money.

The special counsel’s office credited Cohen with significant cooperation — including providing “useful information concerning certain discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation that he obtained by virtue of his regular contact” with Trump organization executives during the campaign, as well as “relevant and useful information concerning his contacts with persons connected to the White House during the 2017–2018 time period.”
They revealed that Cohen told them of what seemed to be a previously unknown November 2015 contact from a Russian national, who claimed to be a “trusted person” in the Russian Federation offering the campaign “political synergy” and “synergy on a government level.”

I no longer have the disease.
Polycystic liver disease (PLD or PCLD) is a rare condition that causes cysts -- fluid-filled sacs -- to grow throughout the liver. A normal liver has a smooth, uniform appearance. A polycystic liver can look like a cluster of very large grapes. Cysts also can grow independently in different parts of the liver. The cysts, if they get too numerous or large, may cause discomfort and health complications.
Mine was far worse than most people have. I was at end stage liver disease when they called me on June 2nd of 2017. Since I had stopped drinking alcohol about 5 years before, it was not the reason why my liver weighed about 30 lbs.
During the election Russia was mounting a sophisticated, multi-pronged disruption and information campaign. We now know, based on today’s and other information released over recent weeks, that during this time Trump and members of his inner circle were in more or less constant contact with a long list of Russian government officials, intermediaries, intelligence officials and businessmen.
