Cohen's warning

I enjoy a good deflection as much as the next guy. But I asked a simple question - without sarcasm or preconceived notions of responses. (I didn't start a new thread because there are enough on this subject already.) If folks aren't interested in the subject, I suppose they should just pass on replying.

 

His transition of power talk was so over the top that it undermines everything he said leading up to it. Or it should be a clue to the gullible that he was there to tell them what they wanted to hear.

 

Cohen's consequences have nothing, as in zero, nada, to do with Trump or his relation with Trump.

 

Why do you listen to them?

 

The fact that none are related to Russia-Trump coordination, which is the only thing Mueller is authorized to investigate --makes them a nothing burger pure and simple.

 

Haha Cohen’s a typical criminal blaming everyone for his criminal conduct and not taking responsibility. Trump has nothing to do with his taxi business and his failure to pay taxes...I hope the sentencing judge is paying attention.

 

Perjury? I have not seen any perjury other than Cohen's.

 

Deflection, really?
Let’s see, your ilk has accused a elected president of high treason. Your ilk has accused anyone who’s called your wild Russian conspiracy theories out, disloyal.
With the help of your media handlers, you people were accomplice to gining up the next Red Scare. You people literally made the world less safe.
And, after this Russian tinfoil hat fuled conspiracy gets blown out of the water, you people just get to walk away like you never did anything wrong. **** no, you don’t get to wag your finger at people, when you owe an apology to half the country.

 

You clearly did not listen to any of the actual testimony.

 

Let us know when Van Jones starts voting for the Right.

 

Better tell CNN.


The Point: Cohen's testimony didn't provide a single silver bullet against Trump's White House that some Democrats had hoped for. But he added detail and depth to some of the more potentially damaging allegations against Trump -- most notably the alleged end-run of campaign finance law in the payments to Daniels and McDougal......snip~

Maybe you should read what he said from this long-ago parsed statement you've chosen?


"Interviewer: "What do you think is going to happen this week with the whole Russian thing?
Van Jones: "The whole Russia thing is a big nothing-burger. There is nothing you can do --"
Did I mean that there is "nothing" to the allegations that members of team Trump colluded with the Russians and then tried to cover it up by firing FBI Director James Comey? No -- and far from it.
But that's not what I was talking about. I have been consistently pushing my fellow Democrats to deal with bread and butter issues -- and not just hope and believe Trump will be impeached and gone tomorrow. I have been beating this drum for weeks now.
I said in a recent Twitter chat: "I am glad there is a Russia investigation, and I hope they get to the bottom of it. But I think Democrats are fooling ourselves if we think that something is going to come out of this investigation that is somehow going to end the Trump presidency and make everything better. Unless there is a real smoking gun, which there is probably not, it's just going to be a big old mess. Meanwhile we are not talking about jobs, not talking about poverty, not talking about solutions, not talking about the addiction crisis. Let's talk about our stuff."
In other words, no evidence is going to emerge ("THIS WEEK," soon, or maybe ever) that is powerful enough to force the craven GOP to oust Trump. Too many Democrats see the Russia controversy as some kind of magical "get out of jail free" card. They insist that we will be delivered from our misery -- as soon as the next shoe drops and Trump is impeached.
I understand the appeal of this line of thinking. In fact, I agree with many of the basic points:
• I do think Putin must have something over Trump, because Putin is the only person (besides Ivanka) whom Trump never disses. Given how Trump lashes out at everyone else, that fact alone is fishy.
• I think there probably was collusion by some people in the Trump campaign with Russian operatives.
• I think Trump fired Comey to stop the Russia investigation (which Trump has all but admitted, himself). That's obstruction of justice, in my book."

 

You fell for the Mueller ploy. Can't find anything on Trump to do with Russian collusion so go after anyone and everyone he knows on unrelated charges and process crimes then claim guilt by association. You are a good little sheep.

 

You mean besides **** their pants, throw tantrums, have witches cast spells, and scream at the sky?

 

I certainly did...this quote and my comment sums it up

 

So you missed the main point?

"I am glad there is a Russia investigation, and I hope they get to the bottom of it. But I think Democrats are fooling ourselves if we think that something is going to come out of this investigation that is somehow going to end the Trump presidency and make everything better. Unless there is a real smoking gun, which there is probably not, it's just going to be a big old mess. Meanwhile we are not talking about jobs, not talking about poverty, not talking about solutions, not talking about the addiction crisis. Let's talk about our stuff.".....snip~


Oh and you didn't think that exonerates the leftist.....did you?

 

Yes leftists think no one from the Right listened to the actual Testimony.

The Cohen hearing conclusion catastrophe proves the obvious: Congress is broken
The House Oversight Committee, the premier investigative body in Congress, devolved into a group therapy session on Wednesday.....snip~

Everybody but them just winged it.

Oh, and once again Democrats prove why they are failures.

 

I’m confident most of the left did not watch the testimony and instead are relying on headlines and Rachael Maddow talking points

 

So, then, you believe if Trump loses he will do so gracefully and facilitate a peaceful transition of power?

 

Okay then - deflection it is...

For the record, I am not part of any 'ilk'. I was interested in the thoughts about a peaceful transition of power in 2020 if the election results require it, but please feel free to carry on accusing me of things I've never said or done.

 

Of course. It's the law. Anything less would mean imprisonment and/or death. For gosh sakes, he didn't seize power like Amin or Castro. He simply won a civilized, legal election. So he'll go out the same way he went in, via the election process. Like I said, I'm more concerned with what the left will do if he wins again. That's the wild card.

 

Or as I like to phrase it, Don smears his shyte on everyone who comes in to his orbit so be careful Repubs.

 

And you believe him.

 

What do you think Mueller would find were he to investigate the Obama administration, the Hillary Clinton campaign, and certain higher ups in the FBI in a quest to find election fraud?

 

The whole world believes Cohen except for 30% of the American population, who will go down with the trump sinking ship. What Cohen said is very believable because it fits entirely into the picture that Trump has painted of himself though decades of behavior that shows utter lack of morals, character, and integrity, which are replaced by an outsized desire of self aggrandizement and narcissism.
