The website design alone depresses me enough.
Trump/Russia/SDNY investigation

That's the narrative yeah. Apparently that's not actually what this is about though. Cohen has been raided and is being investigated for crimes he has committed while working for Trump.
Employing a lawyer to do all your dirty work doesn't mean you are employing somebody who cannot be investigated. That isn't what "Attorney-Client Privilege" means.
I think he shot himself in the foot by even mentioning the privilege.
I live in the thick of it and I’m not worried.
I doubt we would see anything else than a few minor altercations. A lot of those Trump supporting crazies are keyboard warriors.
What would it take for a journalist to quite simply ask Trump - what *is* attorney-client privilege?
When the journo asked Trump 'Why don't you just fire Mueller', you can hear somebody yell out 'yeah, fire the guy'. I wonder who that was.
It was the same guy who asked the "Why don't you just fire Mueller" question a moment earlier, simply following up after he noticed Trump repeated his question. Obviously attempting to goad Trump into a provocative answer.
If only.
He’s gonna blow!
Airstrikes on Mueller and fire Assad.
He is finally figuring out that he may be checkmated.
Fire Mueller = Get impeached and/or have Congress reappoint Mueller as the indepdendent council under a new statute
Don't Fire = Allow Mueller to detonate his Presidency with his findings
Would surprise me if he moves on Mueller at the exact same time as launching airstrikes.
If he fires Mueller, how much can Mueller say about the investigation to journalists?
Part of me wants him to fire Mueller just so ii can watch the shitstorm.
I'm just waiting for Trump to push someone in front of the DC subway train like in House of Cards. We ll have come full circle then. Though arguably reality these days is far crazier than what happened on that show.
So Cohen has a taxi medallion biz? I'm surprised we haven't seen anti-Uber/Lyft legislation already.
Griffith did nothing wrong.
Ouch
Yeah, I can see a major distraction coming too and nothing gees up the yanks than a good 'ol war.
I think Trump is going to go for a two pronged attack. He’s going to sack Mueller and then immediately put forward a motion to start bombing Syria. (Or vice versa)
Republicans in the senate and congress at that point will happily say “We will address the Mueller situation in due time but we have bigger things to focus on right now”.

Oh man...your boy Nunes is up to no good again.
Oh god what’s he done now? He’s text book tv series villain, he’s made to look an idiot and then goes back to his evil lair to plot his next wicked plan.
The conclusion of this whole thing really won't be satisfying unless Nunes gets done as well.
How much power do they have over Rosenstein? I thought the 3 branches of government had to remain equal and independent?
Indeed, I want that slime ball done in too.
Apparently he was recused by Rosenstein!Guess what, he recused himself from this case..
That’s an interesting question... Still would leave open various options I’d say. Cohen simply making a mistake/forgetting/having been unable to cover everything. Or perhaps there’s evidence indicating he sanitized stuff. Or, surely he’s had employees working for him/people helping him, despite the fact that Trump is his only client. They might’ve brought something up.
If he made the documents using Google Docs, it automatically saves everything you do and caches old edits.
