    “The more people that follow Mr. Trump as I did, blindly, are going to suffer the same consequences that I’m suffering.”

    Barr, Pence, McConell, Republicans in SCOTUS, Sekulow, Lindsey Graham.... Just do your job honestly!

    This is a warning to all those who are there with no other purpose but to protect Trump. If you cover up for the criminal in the White House, you will end up like Cohen.

    Translation: Mueller will processes-crime them as well in another fit of partisan politics. The problem, however, is that Mueller is supposedly winding down his massive nothing-burger witch hunt . . . and so he'd best get busy.

    Only someone on the far right would consider the number of indictments and the number of convictions so far to be a 'nothing burger'.

    Once again, so entertaining to see Trump supporters pretend that adding an adjective to a noun makes the noun go away. Or to go from the party of "the rule of law" to arguing that things like perjury shouldn't be illegal anymore.

    Pretty sure Cohen's own decade of tax fraud / evasion is what opened the door for Mueller / SDNY prosecutors. Cohen's was crooked, therefore vulnerable to prosecutution, long before Trump ran for POTUS. Cohen's not a victim, and his ples deal obviously includes immunity for peddling presidential access to corporate interests behind Trump's back. Cohen got served another criminal referal YESTERDAY for illegal foreign lobbying. :lol:

    I think the warning should not only go to the GOP congressmen lackeys, it should go to his voters too: If you hitch your wagon emotionally to a conman, you'll become one yourself. If you allow the conman to continue the con, you are complicit and will eventually go down with the sinking ship. We all know that Trump's ship WILL sink, it is only a matter of time.

    Just think about how ridiculous it is what is happening here. it is now without dispute that Trump cheated on his then pregnant wife with an adult movie star, who he then paid off to silence her at the most opportune time while campaigning AND EVEN BEING IN THE WH. Just this one episode would have cost any other president the presidency. Yet, Trump lackeys ignore the utter display of poor morals and character by screaming "not a crime". Guess what, if you defend and protect an utter scumbag like that to your death, you' eventually become a scumbag yourself.

    Trump voters have to eventually wake up: They have the choice of doing the right thing and fess up to their mistake, or they'll go down with the sinking ship and own their lack of personal integrity.

    The louder they scream "nothingburger", the more palbable is their despair. They already know that their gig is eventually going to be over. There is an utter sigh of relief that this was not the time, because his GOP lackeys protect him. This time will end.

    They will end up like Cohen if they lie to Congress, engage in bank fraud and any of the other counts of his conviction. Administrations have covered for presidents forever. Nothing new there.

    Repeating the left wing narrative line by line that you have heard from other democrats like Schiff that he met with before testimony and thinking it means anything is just blind partisanship.

    Any thoughts on his final words about 2020, and the lack of peaceful transition if Trump loses?

    More of the same. Obviously, he's marketing his credibility, or lack of it, and his book, (depending on when he get's released from jail vis a vis his current "spectacle hearings" and his 35 doc) seems to be the point here.

    So it is your belief that Trump will be a graceful loser (if he loses) and facilitates a peaceful transition of power?

    Now that you mention it, I've been getting itchy for a tax form to fill. And I have this sensation lately to call the bank to shoot the breeze or maybe get some more credit, tell a fib or two...I don't know...lie and cheat. And all I did was vote for him.
    Everything Cohen said was manufactured to feed the left wing frenzy. And leftists are gobbling it all up like ignorant savages at a war party.

    I'm still waiting for the peaceful transition from the left after Trumps 2016 victory. Which begs the question, what will the left do when or if Trump wins again in 2020?

    Lol i am sure it's Trump's fault that Cohen turned out to be a lying, greedy, law-breaking, backstabbing cowardly sleazebag.

    It's Trump's fault that the creep was recording his clients, was peddling influence to whoever was willing to pay, was lobbying on behalf of foreign companies without registering as a lobbyist, was cheating on taxes, was cheating on his wife...

    It's Trump's fault that Cohen committed countless crimes to benefit Cohen. Duh

    No word on how you guys have been chasing Russian ghosts for two and half years. I’d think that’d call for a little bit of reflection.
    Just saying.
