Q Research General #6725: It's Not Journalism Edition
BBC - has produced an audio drama called
Mueller: Trump Tower Moscow
When Hunter and Najib are given the job of looking into the proposed Trump Tower in Moscow, their investigation soon throws up some startling results - particularly in relation to Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen, the man who said he'd "take a bullet" for his Presidential client. This up-to-the-minute contemporary drama sheds light on a story that continues to unfold. Jonathan Myerson, award winning dramatist whose previous work includes The Republicans and The Clintons, unravels the story so far, following investigators as they uncover the truth behind Cohen's dealings on behalf of the man known to the inquiry as Individual One. Robert Mueller's investigation is still ongoing, although it has produced several convictions already. The Special Counsel himself, former head of the FBI and a highly respected public servant, is an almost unknowable figure, shunning all publicity throughout his career and especially since being appointed to the Russia probe. Mueller: Trump Tower Moscow imagines the goings-on at the heart of the investigation. With Kerry Shale as Michael Cohen, Nancy Crane as Stormy Daniels and Nathan Osgood as Felix Sater, appearing alongside a group of invented characters playing the staffers on the Mueller team. Cast: Hunter Christy Meyer Najib Robert Gilbert Saloman Ako Mitchell Felix Sater Nathan Osgood George Pandora Colin Stormy Daniels Nancy Crane Michael Cohen Kerry Shale Written by Jonathan Myerson Sound design by Alisdair McGregor Produced and directed by Boz Temple-Morris A Holy Mountain production for BBC Radio 4

I suppose Rutenberg never considered that half the country might have considered the Hillary Clinton presidency "potentially dangerous," and yet did not expect the evening news, in 90 percent of its coverage, to reflect such suspicions.
The Democratic National Committee's appendages often helped to massage CNN news coverage-such as Donna Brazile's primary debate tip-off to the Clinton campaign or CNN's consultation with the DNC about forming talking points for a scheduled Trump interview.
So-called "bombshell," "watershed," "turning-point," and "walls closing in" fake news aired in 24-hour news bulletin cycles. The media went from fabrications about Trump's supposed removal of the bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office, to the mythologies in the Steele dossier, to lies about the Trump Tower meeting, to assurances that Michael Cohen would testify to Trump's suborning perjury, and on and on.
CNN soon proved that it is no longer a news organization at all-as reporters like Gloria Borger, Chris Cuomo, Eric Lichtblau, Manu Raju, Brian Rokus, Jake Tapper, Jeff Zeleny, and teams such as Jim Sciutto, Carl Bernstein, and Marshall Cohen as well as Thomas Frank, and Lex Harris all trafficked in false rumors and unproven gossip detrimental to Trump, while hosts and guest hosts such as Reza Aslan, the late Anthony Bourdain, and Anderson Cooper stooped to obscenity and grossness to attack Trump.
Both politicos and celebrities tried to drive Trump's numbers down to facilitate some sort of popular ratification for his removal. Hollywood and the coastal corridor punditry exhausted public expressions of assassinating or injuring the president, as the likes of Jim Carrey, Johnny Depp, Robert de Niro, Peter Fonda, Kathy Griffin, Madonna, Snoop Dogg, and a host of others vied rhetorically to slice apart, shoot, beat up, cage, behead, and blow up the president.
Left wing social media and mainstream journalism spread sensational lies about supposed maniacal Trump supporters in MAGA hats. They constructed fantasies that veritable white racists were now liberated to run amuck insulting and beating up people of color as they taunted the poor and victimized minorities with vicious Trump sloganeering-even as the Covington farce and now the even more embarrassing Jussie Smollett charade evaporated without apologies from the media and progressive merchants of such hate.
At the same time, liberal attorneys, foundations, Democratic politicians, and progressive activists variously sued to overturn the election on false charges of rigged voting machines. They sought to subvert the Electoral College. They introduced articles of impeachment. They sued to remove Trump under the Emoluments Clause. They attempted to invoke the 25th Amendment. And they even resurrected the ossified Logan Act-before focusing on the appointment of a special counsel to discredit the Trump presidency. Waiting for the 2020 election was seen as too quaint.

Rod Dreher's article merely shared the previous reporting on the case, with a few paragraphs of his opinion sprinkled in. Jen Kerns compared the Jussie Smollett apparent hoax with the 1980s hoax perpetrated by Tawana Brawley.
Christians Are Mobilizing to Fight Back After Facebook Blocked Franklin Graham on Christmas
In a follow-up article about the Facebook ban, Rod Dreher attempted to make sense of Facebook's decision.
I fully support Facebook or any other social medium having a policy of banning certain material (porn, neo-Nazi propaganda, etc.). But when you can't talk about hate hoaxes in general, or about a celebrated hate hoax in particular? Presumably my blog post violated Facebook's "hate speech" prohibition (I can't find any of their other Community Standards that it might have violated). Facebook's policy on "hate speech" is here. This, I suppose, is what my blog post violated:
But the entire reason for the post is new evidence indicating that Jussie Smollett was NOT a victim of a hate crime, but rather faked a hate crime!
The move indeed seems rather head-scratching.
Facebook also censored a pair of conservative articles last August as news broke surrounding the Paul Manafort conviction and the Michael Cohen guilty plea. Both articles countered the prevailing liberal narrative about these events.

Why did Michael Cohen switch attorneys on January 28 to Michael Monico? January 29, the alleged attack occurred and now he (Jussie Smollett) hires the same attorney as Michael Cohen? I don't believe in coincidences. Who are the people behind this scheme to hurt Trump supporters!
Here is something else to consider Jussie was on Rev. Al Sharpton's Politics Nation on the Sunday before the alleged attack. I can't help but remember the Tawana Brawley hoax.

Jussie Smollett Hires Michael Cohen's Attorney Amid Attack Investigation
Jussie Smollett has reportedly hired Michael Monico, the lawyer who represented President Trump's attorney Michael Cohen, to defend him in the case of his alleged attack.
Smollett, a star on Fox's Empire, among other things, was attacked on a Chicago street on the night of Jan. 29. The actor's case has had some strange ups and downs as conflicting reports and evidence pile up. Some are even speculating that the assault was a hoax, and Smollet hiring a defense attorney has added fuel to that fire.

Jussie Smollett retains defense lawyer as Chicago police search his home
Jussie Smollett has lawyered up. After news spread that Chicago police were treating his report of a hate crime as a hoax, he has retained the council of notorious high-profile defense attorney Michael Monico. This lawyer has represented other notorious defendants like Michael Cohen and a Cabinet member under President G.W. Bush. He describes himself on his website as "the premier criminal defense attorney in the country." Mr. Monico specializes in "white collar, health care fraud, antitrust, public corruption, mail, wire and securities fraud, and foreign corrupt practices investigations throughout the United States and around the globe." Quite an ominous sign for a man clinging to his own victimhood to pick a criminal defense attorney.
Smollett has already purchased services from the P.R. firm Sunshine Sachs, which manages the legal scandals of other clients like Harvey Weinstein. The firm has taken over making public statements on its newest celebrity client's behalf. Most likely at its direction, he has scrubbed all of his social media accounts of any personal mention of the alleged incident.
Chicago police released the Nigerian brothers late Friday evening after dropping battery charges against them. The brothers, one of whom appeared as an extra on Jussie Smollett's television show, were picked up late Wednesday night when their flight landed at O'Hare airport. They were returning from their home country of Nigeria, which they had departed to hours after Jussie reported the "attack."
While the two were in police custody, law enforcement raided their house and took a list of items including five containers of bleach, computers, firearms, and a "red hat." The pair was officially arrested Friday morning, and investigators spent over 12 hours straight interrogating them. The Chicago Police Department released this official statement upon their release:

DOJ Investigating Leak of Michael Cohen's Bank Records - Criminal Charges May Be Announced Soon
The Department of Justice is reportedly investigating the leak of Michael Cohen's confidential bank records, according to CNN.
Prosecutors with the US attorney's office in the Northern District of California are leading the criminal and criminal charges could be announced soon, CNN said.
REWIND-
On April 9, 2018 FBI agents raided the office of one of Trump's personal lawyers Michael Cohen at the request of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Michael Cohen was President Trump's personal attorney at the time.
The Mueller mob took all of his records and emails.
One month later - Cohen's financial documents were leaked to the porn star Stormy Daniels's shady attorney Michael Avenatti.
Michael Cohen made a "hush payment" to porn star Stormy Daniels through Essential Consultants LLC, a shell company that Mr. Cohen created - A lawyer representing Cohen insisted his bank records were illegally obtained.
Michael Avenatti refused to divulge his source of the bank records but he suggested Cohen's bank transactions were in a SAR, or 'suspicious activity report.'
A bank will file a SAR with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network if certain transactions raise red flags. It is illegal for a bank to disclose the contents or identity of a SAR.
The Treasury Department's inspector general previously launched an investigation into how Stormy Daniels's lawyer Michael Avenatti obtained confidential banking records concerning a company controlled by Michael Cohen - that investigation is still ongoing.
Shortly after Michael Avenatti posted Michael Cohen's bank records online last May, a "law enforcement official" admitted to The New Yorker to leaking Cohen's bank records.
According to the official who leaked the report, these sars were absent from the database maintained by the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or fincen. The official, who has spent a career in law enforcement, told me, "I have never seen something pulled off the system. . . . That system is a safeguard for the bank. It's a stockpile of information. When something's not there that should be, I immediately became concerned." The official added, "That's why I came forward."
The name of the leaker was withheld from the public.
Robert Barnes predicted last May that the leaker was likely a person out of the Southern District of New York or one of Mueller's thugs.
Hopefully we will find out soon who this leaker is!

Q Research General #6588: Moar Indictments are Being Unsealed Edition
Controlling what news voters do and do not receive has become a big focus in the digital age. Mainstream media giants and establishment political operatives alike have long fought to stigmatize, discredit, and censor any news that doesn't fit their agendas.
Now a familiar player is getting into the censorship game: Microsoft just announced that - by default - the tech giant's Edge web browser will feature a "NewsGuard" plugin that will immediately display a big red exclamation mark and a scolding warning when users view news outlets its censors dislike. Media outlets hand-selected by NewsGuard and Microsoft, on the other hand, will get a big friendly green check mark and flattering praise of their journalistic merit.
Who are the approved "green check mark" news sources? The left-leaning, establishment media outlets you would expect: CNN, The Huffington Post, The Washington Post, and so on. These are the same sites that rushed to publish dozens of demonstrably false stories about Catholic high schoolers harassing a Vietnam veteran - and wound up putting those teenagers and their families in the crosshairs of a vicious internet hate mob - and then, largely refused to apologize for getting the story completely wrong.
Other members of the "good news" club include Rolling Stone, responsible for making a cover story out of the most destructive rape hoax since the Scottsboro Boys, and BuzzFeed News, responsible for the report accusing President Trump of committing a felony by allegedly telling Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. The story was so outrageously false that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office issued a rare public statement to disavow it.
Which media sources are arrayed on the other side of this equation, the "bad news" bears designated on NewsGuard with red exclamation points? Exactly who you'd expect: Breitbart News; Drudge Report; the Daily Mail, Britain's third-largest newspaper; and other outlets popular outside the Acela corridor.
In the end, this scheme is really no different than the dubious "fact checks" that holier-than-thou establishment media outlets have used to belittle their competitors and silence people who see the world a little differently than the folks in newsrooms in New York, Washington, and Los Angeles.
It should come as no surprise that NewsGuard's creators and censors come from the same media world they seek to police, mostly former editors and publishers of establishment news and opinion publications. Nor should the syrupy praise their former colleagues and co-workers are already lavishing on the scheme be surprising - it has become a commonplace belief among these paternalistic elites that the common man needs to be protected from raw, "unfiltered" news and opinion.
The most novel aspect of this news-censoring trend is Microsoft's involvement. Google and Facebook have been engaging in media censorship for years, but this is older generation big tech getting in on the act, perhaps in some ways demonstrating that it has to censor just to keep up with its younger, and more innovative, social media brethren.
What's at stake here? News outlets such as Breitbart have broken some of the biggest scandals eating away at Microsoft and other tech giants' public images.
Luckily for Americans who are uncomfortable with this kind of big-brother censorship, and who wish to decide for themselves which news outlets they trust, Microsoft Edge is one of the least popular major web browsers, and so this late-to-the-game censorship move could have limited impact.
The latest estimates suggest that only a little over 2 percent of internet users browse with Edge. Google's Chrome, by contrast, accounts for half of the entire U.S. browser market.

Glenn Simpson, who cofounded the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, told lawmakers that a trip Trump Organization representatives took to Moscow several years ago had come onto the firm's radar as part of their research into Trump's business history.
The trip was organized by Sergei Millian, Simpson said. He said Millian "came up in connection with Chris' work as one of the people around Trump who had a Russian background." Chris is a reference to Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer hired by Fusion to research Trump's Russia ties.

Half the reason was covering up President Obama's knowledge and involvement in the scheme, being that Obama had communicated with Clinton at least 30 times through her illegal server, including with her from the territory of Russia where her Blackberry was hacked from Russian cellphone towers and was a national security breach.[5]
Adm. Rogers denies FBI contractors FISA access
Main article: FISA abuse
On April 18, 2016 NSA director Adm. Mike Rogers terminated FBI contractor access to the FISA database after auditors determined a pattern of abuse which exploded in late 2015 and early 2016.[6][7] Over 5000 American citizens' constitutional and civil rights were systematically being violated by illegal FISA 702 search queries. The unnamed persons whose rights were violated are people associated with the Trump campaign, including Michael Cohen.
The following day Mary Jacoby, wife of FusionGPS founder Glenn Simpson, met with Obama officials in the White House.[8] FusionGPS is suspected of being one of the FBI contractors that the FISA court and NSA determined were performing illegal 702 search queries on American citizens.
The next week Tash Gauhar attended two all day White House meetings. FBI Counsel James Baker, Trisha B Anderson (FBI) and other DOJ FISA attorneys were also in attendance.[9][10][11][12] Five days after that the DNC and Clinton campaign hired FusionGPS to do 'cash for trash' on Donald Trump.[13]

Trump did not leak messages between Bezos and mistress, AMI lawyer says
A lawyer representing American Media CEO David Pecker denied on Sunday that President Trump or Saudi Arabia leaked intimate messages exchanged between Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his mistress ahead of the National Enquirer's recent exposé on Bezos' extramarital affair.
"Bezos and Ms. [Lauren] Sanchez knew who the source was. Any investigator that was going to investigate this knew who the source was," attorney Elkan Abramowitz said during an interview on ABC News' "This Week."
"It was not the White House. It was not Saudi Arabia. And the libel that was going out there slamming AMI was that this was all a political hatchet job sponsored by either a foreign nation or somebody politically in this country," said Abramowitz, who also denied that conservative operative and Trump adviser Roger Stone was behind the leak.
Saudi officials on Sunday also denied having anything to do with the leaked messages between Bezos and his mistress.
"This is something between the two parties, we have nothing to do with it," Adel al-Jubeir, the kingdom's minister of state for foreign affairs, told CBS' "Face the Nation."
Bezos has said AMI threatened to publish the explicit photos of him unless he stopped investigating how the Enquirer obtained his private exchanges with his mistress, former TV anchor Lauren Sanchez, and publicly declare that the Enquirer's coverage of him was not politically motivated. Bezos also owns The Washington Post.
Bezos' investigators have suggested the Enquirer's coverage of his affair was driven by dirty politics, and the high-profile clash has pitted the world's richest man against the leader of America's best-known tabloid, who is a strong backer of President Trump. Trump has been highly critical of Bezos over his ownership of The Washington Post and Amazon, and the Post's coverage of the White House.
Federal prosecutors are looking into whether the Enquirer violated a cooperation and nonprosecution agreement that recently spared the gossip sheet from charges for paying hush money to a Playboy model who claimed she had an affair with Trump, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Friday. The people weren't authorized to discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Bezos' affair became public when the Enquirer published a story on Jan. 9 about his relationship with Sanchez, who is also married. Bezos then hired a team of private investigators to find out how the tabloid got the texts and photos the two exchanged.
Bezos' personal investigators, led by his security consultant Gavin de Becker, have focused on Sanchez's brother, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Michael Sanchez is his sister's manager, a Trump supporter and an acquaintance of Roger Stone.
After Bezos on Thursday posted the exchanges with AMI in an extraordinary blog post on Medium.com, several celebrities and journalists posted on social media that they too had been threatened by AMI. Ronan Farrow said he and "and at least one other prominent journalist" involved in reporting on the tabloid had "fielded similar 'stop digging or we'll ruin you' blackmail efforts from AMI" and actor Terry Crews alleged the company tried to "silence him" by "fabricating stories of me with prostitutes."
In recent months, the Trump-friendly tabloid acknowledged secretly assisting Trump's White House campaign by paying $150,000 to Playboy centerfold Karen McDougal for the rights to her story about an alleged affair with Trump. The company then buried the story until after the 2016 election.
Trump's longtime personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty last year to charges that included helping to broker that transaction.
As part of a nonprosecution agreement in that case, AMI promised not to break the law. The deal requires top executives, including Pecker and the Enquirer's editor, Dylan Howard, to cooperate with federal prosecutors. A violation of the agreement could lead to criminal charges over the McDougal payments.

Michael Cohen: The ?xer's secret agenda
In his decade at the center of Trump's inner circle, Cohen styled himself as the tycoon's pugnacious man Friday, an indefatigable loyalist who aped his boss' husky-voiced bluster. In Cohen, Trump found a fellow New Yorker who had also grown up at the city's suburban edges, a one-man cheering section who hailed Trump as an infallible "patriarch" worthy of protection "at all costs."
Yet, even while doting on "Mr. Trump," as he called his boss, Cohen was squarely focused on his own ambitions. Trump was Cohen's ticket to greater wealth, TV appearances and Page Six, the New York Post's daily serving of intel about Manhattan's jet set. Theirs was a relationship Cohen could boast about to anyone he encountered, including childhood friends from Long Island, some of whom said they did not expect him to amount to anything extraordinary.

SDNY AG Berman
In April 2018, the office of Berman issued a search warrant of the office and hotel room of Michael Cohen, former lawyer of Donald Trump, for possible bank fraud and campaign finance violations.[24][25][26] Since Berman is recused by the U.S. Attorney General's Office from the investigation, he was apparently not involved in the decision to raid Cohen's office.[27] That search was presumably conducted under the authority of Robert Khuzami, Berman's top deputy.[28]
In August 2018, Berman charged Republican U.S. Representative Chris Collins, his son Cameron, and the father of Cameron's fiancée, Stephen Zarsky with insider trading and lying to the FBI.[29]
In October 2018, Berman charged Cesar Sayoc with sending a string of homemade incendiary packages to several present and former federal officials including former President Obama, former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.[30]
In November 2018, Berman charged recording artist and performer Daniel Hernandez (AKA Tekashi69) with six felony counts in racketeering and violence to aid racketeering. The most serious charge being brought against Hernandez is "using or carrying a firearm during and in relation to, or possessing a firearm in furtherance of, a crime of violence, which was discharged" which can result in life in prison.[31]
In January 2019, Berman charged Natalya Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer, with obstruction of justice in connection with a false and misleading declaration she submitted to a judge in the Southern District of New York. Berman said on announcing the indictment: "Fabricating evidence to affect the outcome of pending litigation not only undermines the integrity of the judicial process, but it threatens the ability of our courts and our government to ensure that justice is done.

Jeff Bezos Protests the Invasion of his Privacy as Amazon Builds a Sprawling Surveillance State For Everyone Else
The National Enquirer has engaged in behavior so lowly and unscrupulous that it created a seemingly impossible storyline: the world's richest billionaire and a notorious labor abuser, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, as a sympathetic victim.
On Thursday, Bezos published emails in which the Enquirer's parent company explicitly threatened to publish intimate photographs of Bezos and his mistress, which were apparently exchanged between the two through their iPhones, unless Bezos agreed to a series of demands involving silence about the company's conduct.
In a perfect world, none of the sexually salacious material the Enquirer was threatening to release would be incriminating or embarrassing to Bezos: it involves consensual sex between adults that is the business of nobody other than those involved and their spouses. But that's not the world in which we live: few news events generate moralizing interest like sex scandals, especially among the media.
The prospect of naked selfies of Bezos would obviously generate intense media coverage and all sorts of adolescent giggling and sanctimonious judgments. The Enquirer's reports of Bezos' adulterous affair seemed to have already played at least a significant role, if not the primary one, in the recent announcement of Bezos' divorce from his wife of 25 years.
Beyond the prurient interest in sex scandals, this case entails genuinely newsworthy questions because of its political context. The National Enquirer was so actively devoted to Donald Trump's election that the chairman of its parent company admitted to helping make hush payments to kill stories of Trump's affairs, and received immunity for his cooperation in the criminal case of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, while Bezos, as the owner of the steadfastly anti-Trump Washington Post, is viewed by Trump as a political enemy.
All of this raises serious questions, which thus far are limited to pure speculation, about how the National Enquirer obtained the intimate photos exchanged between Bezos and his mistress. Despite a lack of evidence, MSNBC is already doing what it exists to do - implying with no evidence that Trump is to blame (in this case, by abusing the powers of the NSA or FBI to spy on Bezos). But, under the circumstances, those are legitimate questions to be probing (though responsible news agencies would wait for evidence before airing innuendo of that sort).

Michael Cohen Search Warrant Documents to Be Made Partly Public
A judge said the public is entitled to learn more about the FBI search warrant served on Michael Cohen almost a year ago, just as President Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer is about to go to prison.
Over objections from federal prosecutors, U.S. District Judge William Pauley on Thursday granted a request by media organizations for access to documents related to the April 9 FBI search of Cohen's home, office and hotel room, while agreeing with the government that some materials must remain secret to protect ongoing investigations.
"The public interest in the underlying subject matter of the materials – which implicates the integrity of the 2016 presidential election – is substantial," Pauley said. The judge gave the government until Feb. 28 to file the materials under seal, with proposed redactions for him to review. The judge said he'd then order the documents to be made public.
Disclosing the materials with certain portions redacted strikes the appropriate balance between public access and prosecutors' desire for confidentiality to protect its ongoing investigations, Pauley said. The judge said the applications and affidavits for the search warrants "catalogue an assortment of uncharged individuals and detail their involvement in communications and transactions connected to the campaign finance charges to which Cohen pled guilty."
In Cohen Plea, New York Prosecutors Flex Their Independence
"At this stage, wholesale disclosure of the materials would reveal the scope and direction of the government's ongoing investigation," Pauley wrote. "It would also unveil subjects of the investigation and the potential conduct under scrutiny, the full volume and nature of the evidence gathered thus far, and the sources of information provided to the government."
Cohen didn't take part in the dispute over access to the warrant materials. His spokesman, Lanny Davis, declined to comment on Thursday's ruling.
According to Pauley, the sealed warrant materials identify people who dealt with Cohen in his taxi medallion business, banks to which he made misstatements and firms that paid him consulting fees.
Cohen pleaded guilty Aug. 21 to five counts of tax evasion, one count of making a false statement to a financial institution and two federal campaign finance violations. The latter counts related to Cohen's role in paying two women to keep quiet about their alleged sexual encounters with Trump, before he became president.
In November, Cohen pleaded guilty to a single count of making false statements to Congress about a plan for a Trump Tower project in Moscow.
Pauley sentenced Cohen to three years. He's set to report to prison next month, after his scheduled testimony before Congress at the end of February.
Pauley set May 15 for the government to identify, under seal, "the individuals or entities" whose identities prosecutors want to be kept secret.
The case is U.S. v. Cohen, 18-cr-00602, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Novartis CEO lauds Trump administration plan to overhaul rebates
ZURICH (Reuters) - Novartis AG Chief Executive Vas Narasimhan said his company's prescription drug prices have been "flat to negative" over the last three years, and directed blame for high costs for U.S. patients on industry middlemen that manage drug benefits.
In an interview with Reuters in New York on Wednesday Narasimhan, a 42-year-old U.S. doctor who has headed the Swiss drugmaker since Feb. 2018, threw his support behind a U.S. government proposal to end a system of rebates drugmakers pay to pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and health insurers in order to get products on their lists of covered medicines.."We (Novartis) pay almost 50 percent of our gross revenues in the United States into rebates," Narasimhan said. "If you return those rebates to patients, so patients pay less out of pocket, I think that is something that makes a lot of sense and will correct a distortion in the marketplace."
In his State of the Union speech this week, U.S. President Donald Trump complained again that Americans pay more for drugs than people elsewhere. Narasimhan, who has labeled as "destructive" efforts to link U.S. prices to those in other countries, countered that this is only partially true. "There are situations where prices in the U.S. are certainly higher than the prices in Europe, but there are many situations, as well, where they are very comparable," he said. "It's difficult to make blanket statements, like this is always happening."
Some analyses, including one commissioned by Reuters in 2015, showed that U.S. prices for the top-20 selling medicines were three times higher than in Britain. Narasimhan acknowledged the industry and company reputational challenges stemming from anger over high prices, kickback scandals and last year's revelation that Novartis paid Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, $1.2 million. He said drugmakers, in some instances, boosted prices excessively or fell short on providing access and now had work ahead to regain the standing they once had, as the industry brought scientific advances like vaccines that saved billions of lives. "I would say, over the last 20 years, because of behaviors that the industry had - I would call them outlier events, (but) it's hard to call them outlier events, when there's enough of the outlier events - damaged the industry's reputation," Narasimhan said. "At least at Novartis, I think of it as the great journey of my time as CEO to try to get back to a different place from a reputation standpoint."
Last month, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced a plan that would end rebates now paid to PBMs and others and instead pass along savings to consumers covered by U.S. government health plans. Trump, in his State of the Union address on Tuesday, again called for lower U.S. prescription drug prices. PBMs, which administer drug benefits for employers and health plans, argue that they are passing sufficient savings to patients and contend that rebates help keep down insurance premiums. Narasimhan, echoing arguments of many large drugmakers, said the existing system obscures the true price of drugs and leaves patients on the hook, in the form of higher co-pays, or co-insurance payments.
'ZERO TRANSPARENCY' He noted that changes in the decades-old rebate system could eventually affect insurance plans offered by U.S. employers, potentially leading to premium hikes. "We have zero transparency into the billions we pay in rebates," the Novartis CEO said. "You could see some adjustment in premiums. But I think that's another area where we should get transparency."
Novartis, which had 2018 global sales of $51.9 billion and net profit of $12.6 billion, gets more than a third of its revenue in the United States. But despite all the talk about rising list prices, Narasimhan said since 2016 net prices for its prescription drugs fell about 1 percent. "At Novartis, we no longer see net price growth as a meaningful contributor," he said. Instead, the company is counting on recent and upcoming launches of new drugs to fuel 2019 growth of 4 percent to 6 percent, a forecast Narasimhan reiterated on Wednesday.

Former Trump lawyer Cohen congressional testimony postponed
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Testimony by U.S. President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen before the House Intelligence Committee has been postponed until Feb. 28, the panel said on Wednesday. Cohen, who is set to go to prison in March after pleading guilty to crimes including campaign finance violations during Trump's 2016 election campaign, was scheduled to appear before the panel for closed testimony on Thursday.
"In the interests of the investigation, Michael Cohen's testimony has been postponed until Feb. 28th," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff told Reuters. It was the second time a congressional appearance by Cohen has been put off. Last month, Cohen cited threats from Trump for postponing testimony before an open hearing of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee set for Feb. 7. That hearing has not been rescheduled.
Cohen has also been subpoenaed by the Senate Intelligence Committee to appear in mid-February. In December, Cohen was sentenced by a federal judge in Manhattan to three years in prison for crimes including orchestrating hush payments to women in violation of campaign laws before the 2016 election.

This Hilarious.
Liberal Prosecutor: Donald Trump Jr. Will Be Indicted by Dirty Cop Mueller to Ensnare His Father.
Dirty cop Robert Mueller, corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissman and his gang of angry Democrats are reportedly planning to arrest President Donald Trump's son Donald Jr. according to MSNBC contributor Paul Butler.
Butler, a former prosecutor, says Mueller will arrest Donald Trump Jr. and work him over in order to ensnare President Trump is some kind of sham criminal action.
They are not sure yet what crime they will pin on the president.
They will work that out as events unfold.
Newsweek reported:
Donald Trump Jr. will be indicted and used by special counsel Robert Mueller to ensnare his father President Donald Trump, a former prosecutor predicted.
During a segment on MSNBC's AM Joy on Saturday, Paul Butler, a former Department of Justice public corruption prosecutor, and host Joy Reid discussed the latest developments in Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between Trump's campaign team and Moscow officials.
"Does Mueller have to indict Trump in order to put the proper coda at the end of the long symphony?" Reid asked the ex-prosecutor.
"Mueller is not going to indict Trump, because he's going to follow the DOJ employee handbook, but he has leverage over the president in terms of Donald Trump, Jr.," Butler explained. "We've seen Mueller use people's kids to get to folks in the past. He could do this with Donald Trump, Jr."
He continued: "Trump, Jr. went into the Senate Intelligence Committee, took an oath to tell the truth, and lied his butt off."
"You think he will get indicted?" Reid asked.
"If Roger Stone and Michael Cohen get indicted for lying to the Intelligence Committee and Donald, Jr. lied, then he gets indicted too," Butler responded.

Source for Buzzfeed Junk Report on Trump Ordering Cohen to Lie is a Clinton and Mueller Lackey Felix Sater
Far Left Buzzfeed released a bogus report stating the President Trump's attorney Michael Cohen was following President Trump's orders to lie about an unsupported story on Russia.
Mueller's team in an attempt to prevent a leak investigation into it's operations came out 24 hours later and said the story was false.
Now we know that the entire junk report was provided to Buzzfeed by a Clinton and Mueller lackey, Felix Sater.
Paul Sperry came on in a report that the individual behind the Buzzfeed fake news story lying about President Trump was none other than a deep state dirt-bag related to the Clintons and Mueller and his gang of crooks:

New York prosecutors plan to subpoena Trump inauguration committee: report
BC News, citing sources with direct knowledge of the matter, reported that prosecutors in the Southern District of New York's public corruption section reached out to the inaugural committee on Monday and told it of their plans.
It remains unclear what documents the district is requesting in its ongoing probe of Trump campaign and inauguration finances.
ABC News noted that Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, has been repeatedly interviewed by prosecutors in the district as part of its probe. Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg has also agreed to cooperate with the investigation.
A Southern District of New York spokesperson declined to comment to the news network. The White House did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.

It's Time To Give BuzzFeed The InfoWars Treatment
Social networks colluded to ban InfoWars. Why won't they do the same to BuzzFeed?
If there was ever any doubt, that doubt was erased on January 17th, when their news branch (creatively dubbed BuzzFeed News) published a report alleging Donald Trump had directed his attorney Michael Cohen to lie to congress.
If their report were true, it could very well be the catalyst to impeachment proceedings. In other words, if their report were true, it would be one of the critical news stories in U.S. history.

Q Research General #6379: Meet Virginia Edition
It turns out that the biggest donor for Mitch McConnell is none other than the Russian oligarch that the GOP just lifted sanctions on
The Democratic Coalition's ongoing investigation just uncovered the following evidence linking GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to Russian oil money, some of which we first revealed in February 2017.
McConnell recently voted to drop sanctions against Russian aluminum company RusAl which is still owned by one of Vladimir Putin's sanctioned oligarchs, Oleg Deripaska. His action directly benefits one of the GOP leader's major donors, whose fortune comes from Russian oil.
The Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC run by Sen. McConnell's former Chief of Staff, received a total of $3,500,000 ($2,500,000 in 2016 and $1,000,000 in 2017) via Access Industries and a subsidiary. Len Blavatnik is a Russian oligarch with US and UK citizenship who owns Access Industries and donated to Sen. McConnell's 2016 Senate campaign vehicles.
Blavatnik's Access Industries made many of its billions from Putin's decisions about its Russian oil partnership. He is also a long-term business partner of Kremlin-linked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska at RuSal, in which he is a major investor, as well as Viktor Vekselberg, who is entangled with Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen through his U.S. family office Columbus Nova.
Last week, Sen. McConnell led 42 Republicans in voting against a resolution to maintain sanctions on Blavatnik's business partner Deripaska.
The Trump Administration formally dropped sanctions on the night of January 27th, 2019, which were imposed against Deripaska, Blavatnik's long time business partner, for his high-level role in Russia's election attack against the United States in 2016. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is also a longtime business partner of Blavatnik.
The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly 362-53 to keep sanctions in place against Deripaska, which were originally imposed to ensure that Russian oligarchs profiting from the Kremlin's interference in the 2016 presidential election would face consequences for their actions.

How New York Times' Scott Shane covered for architects of a shocking "false flag" election campaign in Alabama
1-23-19, Dan Cohen

When it comes to the saga of the Alabama election meddling scandal, this article "tells all." Or at least as much as is known at this time.
The notes below are in 4 parts, one for each CAP. (If you're new, you'll need to read the CAP before the notes.)
SUMMARY: The NY Times national security reporter held news of a massive voter manipulation campaign while pumping up the political operatives behind it as ace Russian disinformation detectives.
[1] SCOTT SHANE WAS A DECEPTIVE REPORTER
* Shane went to an AET mtg in Sept 2018 where he learned that Mikey Dickerson/AET organized Project Birmingham (PB)
* PB = online disinfo campaign to ensure the victory of DEM Doug Jones over GOP Roy Moore. Was a FF op to convince voters Moore was backed by Russia; also used a write-in to split the votes
* New Knowledge was the main cyber-manipulator
* Shane knew all this but suppressed it for 2 mos+
* Even wrote an article "pumping up a half-baked report to the SSCI [the report was NK'S "Tactics & Tropes"; see >>4949614)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/17/us/politics/russia-2016-influence-campaign.html
* "Broke" the real story on Dec 19 but didn't reveal he was at the Sept mtg until a Buzzfeed reporter confronted him

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/alabama-dirty-tricksters-invited-a-new-york-times-reporter
* Great example of a LIMITED HANGOUT
* John Kiriakou says Shane can't be trusted; see CAP
[2] EMERGENCE OF A NEW REPORT
* On DEC 27th 6 pages of a 12-page report,"Project B Debrief," was made public by Jeff Gisea; gives damning details on the plan
* NYT & WaPo have all 12 pages but refust to publish it
* Says NK had an "aggressive" plan over 5 mos to influence out outcome of the Alabama Senate Race.
* 3 part strategy: radicalize DEMS, suppress staunch GOP, divide moderate GOP with write-in candidate
*Veil of secrecy was complete
* Top reporter influencers: Sarah Zendzior, Steven Dennis, Jao Tacopino [not known whether they were in on it]
[3] ROLES OF NK'S JONATHON MORGAN & RENEE DIRESTA
* Morgan claimed he didn't write the leaked report & said it make claims "that did not originate with us"
* Claimed the trolls used in FF were "random users", but during the campaign, cited Hamilton68 to imply otherwise
* Diresta is a "a self-styled counter-disinformation specialist" [she has no training beyond a BS in poli sci/computer sci] stayed quiet at first.
* But she is NK's Director of Research & lead author of the "Tactics & Tropes" report
* On Jan 2,she let Sam Harris interview her (posted here last night; see >>4961799).
* Harris asked nothing about the Alabama project; meanwhile, Diresta fiercely defended the idea that Russia meddled in the 2016 election. Harris didn't ask followup questions.
[4] DID THE COMPANY GET OFF SCOTT-FREE?
* Author Dan Cohen thinks NK escaped "unscatched."
* "Today their firm remains a go-to source for Western reporters writing about the supposed dangers of Russian disinformation."
* But Alabama Atty Gen'l Steve Marshall is collecting info; has not revealed what he will do with it.
* Meanwhile, Shane issued support for Buzzfeed's claim alleging that POTUS instructed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.

Q Research General #6348: Schumer's An Idiot Edition
I missed this old article back from April 2018
Mueller is investigating a $150,000 payment a Ukrainian oligarch made to the Trump Foundation during the campaign
The special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into a large donation a Ukrainian oligarch made to the Trump Foundation in September 2015 after Donald Trump gave a video talk at a conference in Kiev, Ukraine, The New York Times reported Monday.
At the time, Trump was one of several Republicans vying to be the party's 2016 presidential nominee.
In August 2015, Doug Schoen, a political consultant who works for the Ukrainian billionaire and steel magnate Victor Pinchuk, contacted Trump to set up the speech, according to the report.
Trump accepted the request but did not broach the subject of any payment, the report said. But Trump's longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, is said to have called Schoen the next day to ask for a $150,000 fee from Pinchuk in exchange for the talk.
The report comes as Mueller investigates the flow of foreign money into Trump's campaign and his business, as well as whether administration officials have used their influence within the White House to benefit themselves financially.

Q Research General #6344: Deltas, Times and Signs Edition
1) Is POTUS the secret architect of his own Trump-Russia collusion narrative?
Trump likes to co-opt strategies from the enemy. Few would remember that "Fake News" was started by the mainstream media, until he got hold of it.
2) POTUS tweets his outrage at the Mueller investigation and the unfairness taking place - he's almost its best promoter.
He's identified the long list of "angry" Democrats on a mission inside the Special Counsel's team. Has the media questioned any of this?
3) When he uttered the famous words "Russia, if you're listening…", he seemed to get way more than he bargained for. Or was he actually dangling some bait?
4) Why would Trump want the media to go "all in" on collusion?
Is it because an honest media would investigate the facts and make it clear that a Russian collusion investigation is unwarranted?
Is the dishonest media being baited to destroy themselves?
5) Why does Trump, a savvy media operator with decades of experience with NY tabloids, "promote" the tell-all books on his Twitter?
More bait? Does he want the media to indulge further in their hatred of him, writing articles about his incompetence & stupidity?
6) Who has Mueller arrested?
- Mike Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, Michael Cohen, Roger Stone
7) Who has Mueller NOT arrested?
- Donald Trump Jr, Jared Kushner, Jeff Sessions, Stephen Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, etc
8) Why is Mueller skirting around the edges of Trump's inner group? And now we're told the investigation is soon to wrap up.
9) Does each Mueller arrest actually pile pressure on the Democrats?
- Mike Flynn knows much about the Obama administration.
- Manafort has connections with the Podestas and Ukraine.
- A look into Papadopoulos only exposes British Intel and dirty Australian politicians.
10) Are Mueller's arrests actually warnings to the swamp?
Will they subpoena the conspicuously absent Julian Assange next? Something Democrats would want to avoid.
11) Consider that the same day Trump "caves" to Pelosi, Roger Stone is dragged out of his house by paramilitary officers.
CNN is tipped off. They can't help but provide breathtaking coverage. Setup again?
Did Pelosi's refusal to fund the wall trigger a deeper dive by Mueller?
12) While many were celebrating Roger Stone's arrest, it only brings us all closer knowing how WikiLeaks actually obtained the DNC emails.
13) Trump is sitting on a mountain of bad news for Democrats and the previous administration.
Is this war chest being leveraged by Trump to achieve his political goals?
He does seem to be getting a lot done while the media stakes its entire reputation on the rapidly collapsing Russian narrative.
14) Think mirror, witch hunt.

Let's assume good guys want this news out.
Helps explain how so much intel was "found".
Since operators could listen/film virtually anyone.
Since device could emit ultrasonic tones.
Undetectable by human ears, but not other devices.
And then activate other sensors like Smart TVs perhaps.
Or your Apps, Nest, Ring.com, Echo, or well anything.
All perfectly geolocated, timestamped and tracked.
Including on every photo/video stored/cloud.
Including on Epstein Island by KS et al.
Including on AF1/Tarmac by HRC/LL/WJC et al.
Including on SR/MS13/AS 187 et al.
Including on 7th floor meetings, and so on.
Thanks Roger Stone for the "evidence".
Thanks Michael Cohen for the "evidence".
Thanks Huawei for the "pat(c)h".
Admissible now.

Q Research General #6304: Rift of the Rothschild's Edition
>>4937785
On YT, recent podcasts and also restoration week speech. I was lucky and just found the notes I took on it (posted in the Archive somewhere). Check out the bolded passage.
Dan Bongino on his book Spygate: "This is the biggest scam in American history!"
Speech at David Horowitz' Restoration Weekend, uploaded 11-22-18
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aevtHHULag
The President of the US had the intelligence and law enforcement community at the highest level weaponized against him. They started with "The Plan." Later, it became Plans A, B, C. Setup: The Obama admin was comfortable with abusing the government for their political ends. But we don't have paragraph 1-the one that lays out how the case started and what it's about-the "why" they started to spy on the Trump team. "Nobody to this day will tell you what it is."
Plan A - Illegal Spying
They learn to manipulate the NSA database. Query the system, you can get a lot of info. Thru unmasking-wiretapping-they can get all the info they need on the Trump team. Problem: Mike Rogers, head of the NSA, sniffs them out. Rogers goes to FISC and tells them, "We got a problem." Read it, especially p. 80, which tells us the NSA was being queried by private contractors. Rogers smell a rat; people panic in the govt. About 10 days after the election, Rogers-who knew this had been going on all along-goes to Trump Tower (time enough for a SCIF to be set up).
The next day, Trump leaves Trump Tower and goes to Bedminster, never to return. Same time: Obama admin calls for Rogers to be fired. "Could you be any more obvious?" Suddenly, people start resigning from the federal government; also, Bob Hannigan, head of the GCHQ (the British NSA). Why? Because American intel community is not only listening in to hurt the Trump team during the campaign but they're working with British and Australian intel to pass info to the Obama admin. There's more to Plan A, but there's no time, so it's onto.....
Plan B - Legal Spying
They say, "well, if we can't spy on them [Trump team] illegally, let's spy on them legally." We have this FISA Court, and we can walk in and get a warrant, and once you get it, they have this "two hop" approach that says, If I can get something on somebody on the Trump team, I can investigate all of them. Beautiful, right? But they were stupid and screwed up. Problem with FISA Court: they needed actual evidence that Trump team in front of a judge, that Trump was working on behalf of a foreign power but doing it in violation of at least one US law. "Folks, they had NOTHING-ZERO!"
So what does the State Dept do? They just make it up! They had this guy they worked with in the past, Christopher Steele. Hey, anybody read the Dossier? No? Don't worry. It was already written on April 17, 2007. NOT 2017. Who wrote it? Glenn Simpson and Mary Jacoby his wife: WSJ "How Lobbyists Help Ex-Soviets Woo Washington." It's the same story, written 11 years ago!! Read the names in the article-Paul Manafort and all of these players! So probably, after Plan A collapsed, HRC went to Simpson, who scratched out the names and put in Donald Trump's name in there. The Dossier is this recycled article. It's a scam.
To buttress Plan B, tried to connect Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, with the Russians by saying he went to Prague to set up something with the Russians. Probably got the name from the NSA database. But they got the wrong Michael Cohen! (He's never been to Prague, his passport proves it). Then: Donald Trump wins the presidency-and Plan B falls apart!
Plan C - "Clean Up on Aisle 4"
DJT win wasn't expected. Big problem and they know it. Right before the election, Brennan met with Bob Hannigan (British intel); right after election, he quits. Ditto for John Carlin, the head of the DOJ Natl Security Division (authorizes FISA warrants) . John Carlin previously worked before the DOJ under Robert Mueller (Carlin was his Chief of Staff)! People start panicking. Now there's a huge paper trail to clean up. Mueller's job: to keep the heat on Trump, impeach him, because otherwise they're done.
Why Mueller? Because he knows every player, via Enron case when M was FBI director, people like Andy Weisman role who hates DJT. M also knows Kathryn Ruemmler from Enron, Obama's WH counsel-who has also been George Nader's attorney; Nader's been M's lead cooperators who's been selling out Trump since Day 1. KR is the "fixer" who fixed everything for them-Benghazi, IRS, Secret Service scandals. M knows Lisa Monaco from Enron, Obama's Homeland Security & counterterrorism advisor. Who does he know from the DOJ? Rod Rosenstein! Everyone is here.
Tenex case (2015): cooperator for US government comes to FBI, says Russians are helping the Iranians build their nuclear program and there's a company helping them do it, precursor to Uranium One. Everything gets buried under Obama, where RR = lead prosecutor and M = FBI director.

Q Research General #6301: Operators Are Active Edition
>>4935445
Cont. from images:
But how does this backward-looking justice serve the country now? The Mueller investigation has impressively suppressed all leaks. It has spoken only to slap down news reports it regards as incorrect and inflammatory, such as the BuzzFeed report last week that President Donald Trump had directly counseled his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. The result of this praiseworthy discretion is that the main thing the country has to worry about-Trump's obligations to Putin-remains wrapped in official silence. The prosecutorial mission is being carried out with textbook professionalism. Meanwhile, we are losing sight of the underlying purpose of the mission-to protect the country from a potentially disloyal president.
Through the election and to this day, the Russians have held damaging information about Trump, information that is only now being confirmed to Americans. In October 2016, it was an obvious inference that the Trump campaign was working with WikiLeaks. Now that obvious inference forms the basis of an indictment.
Many other inferences could be drawn today, but there is not yet public evidence to support them, and they are not yet lodged as formal criminal charges: financial connections between Trump and Russia, the sharing of operational campaign information, and other terrible possibilities, too.
The truth about these things is presumably known to Mueller and his team. To the extent that this truth is prosecutable, Americans will eventually learn more of it through further indictments and-if the next attorney general allows it to be released-a future Mueller report. Perhaps that will happen this year, or maybe next.
But now-now!-the country is in danger. Now-now!-it is headed by a president whose fundamental loyalty to the United States cannot intelligently be trusted. Waiting for Mueller has always been a slow option. That slowness more and more appears a danger that the country cannot safely risk.
It's time for Congress to step in, not with a view to punishing the guilty, but with a view to protecting the security of the nation from the guilty, whether they are ever juridically punished or not.

Q Research General #6285: Checkmate, Pelosi Edition
In Trump ally Stone's case, Mueller finds crime in cover-up
Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone may be accused of lying and tampering with witnesses, but it's equally notable what he's not charged with: colluding with the Kremlin in a grand conspiracy to help Trump win the presidency in 2016.
The case is the latest in a series brought by special counsel Robert Mueller that focuses on cover-ups but lays out no underlying crime. It's a familiar pattern in Washington, where scandals from Watergate to Iran-Contra and Whitewater have mushroomed into presidency-imperiling affairs due to efforts to conceal and mislead.
In the Russia investigation, one Trump aide after another has been accused of lying to investigators, or encouraging others to do so, about Russia-related contacts during the campaign and transition period.
Mueller may well have evidence of criminal coordination between Trump associates and Russia that he has yet to reveal, but so far, he's focused repeatedly on those he believes have tried to throw federal or congressional investigators off the trail.
Stone's indictment charges him with seven felonies, including witness tampering, obstruction and false statements, while leaving open the question of whether his or the Trump's campaign's interest in exploiting Russia-hacked emails about Democrat Hillary Clinton crossed a legal line.
"There's sort of two possible ways this investigation could end up. One is he finds this big Russian conspiracy or collusion with the Russians to influence the election," said Randall Eliason, a George Washington University white-collar criminal law professor and former federal prosecutor. "The other, I think very real possibility, is he just finds a cover-up."
The Stone case is in some way reminiscent of Mueller prosecutions that have accused former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen of lying to Congress about his role in a Moscow real estate project; former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn of lying about his contacts with the Russia's U.S. ambassador; and ex-campaign aide George Papadopoulos of lying about his knowledge that Russia had "dirt" on Clinton in the form of stolen emails.
In none of those cases did prosecutors say the things the defendants lied about were crimes themselves.
The absence of a definitive answer to the collusion question, more than 20 months into Mueller's work, has given the president and his allies a wedge to attack the investigation. In the hours after Stone's pre-dawn arrest at his Florida home Friday, Trump returned to his favored refrain of "NO COLLUSION" on Twitter. His lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, mocked the case as "nothing more than another false statement charge" and speculated without evidence that Mueller's inquiry was nearing an end.
But with each new charge, Mueller continues to publicly untangle Trump campaign operations and their intersection with Russia's efforts to hurt Clinton and help Trump.
The Stone indictment, for instance, reflects an unflattering portrait of a presidential campaign eager to exploit stolen emails about a political opponent. It alleges that Stone informed unidentified senior Trump campaign officials of what Stone was hearing about plans by the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks regarding the hacked emails. It says a senior Trump campaign official "was directed" to contact Stone about additional releases and "what other damaging information" WikiLeaks had "regarding the Clinton campaign."
Though those allegations don't form the basis of any of the charges against Stone, their inclusion in the 24-page indictment could signal that Mueller isn't done with that prong of the investigation. He already has charged 12 Russian military intelligence officers in the hacking of Democratic email accounts, setting up the potential for prosecutions of any Americans who might be involved in that conspiracy.
"This doesn't look to me like an investigation that's about to wrap up," said Stanford law professor David Alan Sklansky. "I would be cautious about reading too much into what's not in the indictment."
All told, Mueller has charged six Trump associates and 34 people overall, along with three companies. It is unclear when the investigation might end.
A defiant Stone, flashing a Nixonian-style victory sign, emerged from the courthouse on Friday to proclaim his innocence and predict his vindication. He was released on $250,000 bond and will make his first court appearance Tuesday in Washington, where the case was brought.
"As I have said previously, there is no circumstance whatsoever under which I will bear false witness against the president, nor will I make up lies to ease the pressure on myself," Stone said.

Cohen's two main partners, Arkady Vaygensberg and Leonid Tatarchuk, were born in the Ukraine, a country where Cohen has deep family and business ties. Both Cohen and his brother, Bryan, married Ukrainian women and did business with their fathers, Fima Shusterman and Alex Oronov. Oronov died earlier this month after a prolonged illness, Bryan Cohen told BuzzFeed News.
In an interview this week, Michael Cohen at first said that he did not have a stake in the casino business, only the yacht, and bore no responsibility for lost wages and unpaid debts. But BuzzFeed News then sent him documents with his signature showing he owned 30% of the company.

Friday on Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," political operative Roger Stone, a former adviser to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential election effort, talked about the hardships he had faced while under the scrutiny of special counsel Robert Mueller's Department of Justice probe.
Despite the pressure that Stone is facing, he vowed not to "bear false witness" against President Donald Trump through the ordeal.
"Here is the most important thing, Tucker: No matter how much pressure they put on me, no matter what they say - I will not bear false witness against Donald Trump," Stone said. "I will not do what Michael Cohen has done, and make up lies to ease the pressure on myself. My God, a great wife, and my family see me through this."

But back in the day - who would he have surrounded himself with but people who seemed sleazy and shady - in an obvious way. It would have to be obvious, so it would suck the Dims and the CIA into chasing because it would seem so clear that Stone must be dirty, no? I mean LOOK how sleazy he looks. Optics.

Cohen's father-in-law loaned $20M to cab mogul who was in FBI warrant: report
BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 04/18/18 10:37 AM EDT
The father-in-law of President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, has reportedly loaned $20 million to the wife of a Chicago cab mogul who was identified in the warrant the FBI used to raid Cohen's office, hotel room and home.
The Chicago Sun Times reported Cohen's father-in-law, Fima Shusterman, has given the money in loans over the past eight months to Yasya Shtayner, whose family owns Chicago Medallion Management Corp.
Cohen owns 22 of the 368 taxicabs managed by the company, according to the Sun Times. According to the Sun Times, Shusterman gave eight loans to Shtayner.
Shtayner and her husband, who serves as the company's corporate secretary, were reportedly named in a warrant obtained by the FBI for the Cohen raid.
The Sun Times previously reported that the FBI agents were looking for information about connections Cohen has to Shtayner and her husband, who are both immigrants from Ukraine.
Cohen is reportedly under investigation for bank fraud and campaign finance law violations.
Shtayner, her husband and their sons are also facing a separate lawsuit from a federal credit union operated by the League of Mutual Taxi Owners in New York. The federal credit union sued in an effort to collect a loan of about $3.5 million, according to the Sun Times.
Shusterman, who owns a condo in Trump World Tower in New York City, in 1993 pleaded guilty to federal income-tax fraud regarding the taxicab business he owns in New York.
In the Cohen raid earlier this month, agents reportedly seized bank records, communications between Cohen and Trump, and documents related to payments to two women who alleged they had an affair with the president more than a decade ago.
Prosecutors in Manhattan obtained the search warrants "in part" based on the referral from special counsel Robert Mueller's office, which prompted Trump to launch a series of attacks on Mueller and his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

House to release all Russia probe transcripts: Schiff
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House Intelligence Committee will release all transcripts of interviews in its probe of Russian election interference to the special counsel's office, its Democratic chairman said on Friday after Roger Stone, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, was charged with lying to Congress.
"This is now the second witness who has been indicted for or plead guilty to making false statements in testimony before our Committee," Rep. Adam Schiff said in a statement. "The first order of business for the Committee will be to release all remaining transcripts to the Special Counsel's Office, and we will continue to follow the facts wherever they lead."
Schiff and Elijah Cummings, the chairman of the House oversight committee, said on Wednesday they expect Trump's longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to testify before both panels, despite his decision to postpone his Feb. 7 appearance, citing threats against his family from Trump. The chairmen said they understood Cohen's security concerns, but added in a statement: "This will not stop us from getting to the truth. We expect Mr. Cohen to appear before both committees, and we remain engaged with his counsel about his upcoming appearances." Cohen is scheduled to begin a three-year prison sentence in March after pleading guilty to charges including lying to Congress.

Dershowitz on Mueller move against Roger Stone: 'Trump is the target'
Robert Mueller is trying to force Roger Stone to "flip" and incriminate President Trump by indicting the veteran Republican operatives on charges that leave him facing the prospect of dying in jail, according to Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
"The obvious purpose of indicting him on these obstructing and false statement charges is to put pressure on him to flip. That's the goal," said Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus. "Will he flip? Nobody knows the answer to that. Michael Cohen said he would take a bullet for the president, and he's become his opponent," he said. "[Stone] said recently he would never cooperate and testify, and I take him at his word. But when he's told by his lawyer that he's facing essentially spending the rest of his life in prison, you never know what people will do.
Stone, arrested in a dramatic FBi raid before dawn on Friday, has vowed not to turn against Trump. But the 66-year-old operative now faces a long sentence if convicted of five counts of making false statements, one count of witness tampering, and one count of obstruction of an official proceeding. Dershowitz said more than a decade behind bars is likely if Stone's convicted on all counts. "If you do them consecutively rather than concurrently, it's probably more than 10 [years] and he's no youngster. You're talking about dying in prison," he said.
Mueller's probe, which began looking for Trump campaign collusion with Russia, has netted indictments and guilty pleas from many former Trump allies and aides who ultimately cooperated, including former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn, and former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates.
"Most of the people have flipped so far. The prosecutors have this enormous power. They can threaten not only the person but also his relatives and friends and associates," Dershowitz said. "Judge [T.S.] Ellis pointed that out in the Manafort case. People like Manafort and Stone are not the real targets of the investigation. President Trump is the target."
Manafort was found guilty by a jury in Virginia this summer on eight counts. His trial was the first stemming from Mueller's probe. A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., indicted Stone on Thursday, and Friday morning he was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Stone subsequently appeared in federal court there and was released on a $250,000 bond. His travel was also restricted to Washington, D.C., Florida, and New York City. A post on Stone's Instagram account called news of the indictment "deeply saddening," saying, "Robert Mueller's early morning raid was straight out of the gestapo's playbook."
Dershowitz said it's particularly notable that federal agents arrested Stone in a pre-dawn raid. "The fact that they arrested him this morning rather than allowing him to appear is another evidence that they are trying to put pressure on him," he said. Although the indictment does not contain damning information about Trump, Dershowitz said that's not necessarily exonerating for the president. "The purpose of the indictment was to get [Stone] to cooperate against Trump. So, the face of the indictment doesn't tell you what the purpose is," he said. "I think the fact that Trump isn't in the indictment in any way is significant, but it doesn't eliminate the possibility that [Stone] might flip."

Lanny Davis: Rudy Giuliani is 'mentally unstable'
Lanny Davis, an adviser for Michael Cohen, questioned Rudy Giuliani's mental health Thursday as the row over President Trump and his legal team's attacks on Cohen's family intensifies. Trump used a recent Fox News appearance and his Twitter account to encourage federal investigators to look into Cohen's father-in-law, Fima Shusterman. In one of his freewheeling interviews over the weekend, Giuliani condoned Trump's behavior on CNN, describing Shusterman as a "criminal."
Davis told MSNBC on Thursday that Cohen's family could take legal action against Giuliani for his remarks. "It's certainly actionable because he just lied," Davis told the network of Giuliani, who is Trump's lead personal lawyer. "He's mentally unstable, you can see it in his face much less his words. He's a prosecutor who would prosecute what he just did." "Mr.Giuliani can be indicted and certainly criminally investigated for doing what he just did, that is prima facie a crime to threaten a witness before Congress," "Mr. Giuliani can be indicted and certainly criminally investigated for doing what he just did, that is prima facie a crime to threaten a witness before Congress," he said later in the segment.
Davis on Thursday called on Congress to officially reprimand Trump for his statements regarding Shusterman. "That is called witness tampering, obstruction of justice, and the House of Representatives and the Senate need to move to protect Mr. Cohen by voting a resolution of censure that you can criticize Mr. Cohen, but don't attack a man's family and intimidate a witness before Congress," he said.
Shusterman reportedly loaned millions to a Chicago cab company owner mentioned in the FBI warrants used to raid Cohen's home, office, and hotel room in April 2017 for an investigation led by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York. He also pleaded guilty to income tax fraud in 1993.
Cohen was subpoenaed on Thursday to sit down with the Senate Intelligence Committee sometime in mid-February. He was due to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Feb. 7, but on Wednesday postponed his testimony because of "ongoing threats." Trump's former fixer was sentenced to two months in federal prison in December after he pleaded guilty to "knowingly and willfully" making "a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statement and representation" to the House and Senate Intelligence committees in 2017 about Trump Organization negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow before the 2016 election. Those two months, handed down through a case brought by special counsel Robert Mueller, will be served concurrently with the three years he received as part of the campaign finance violations and tax and bank fraud case he faced last year in New York.

Q Research General #6244: Senate: Both Motions Fail To Pass Edition
Anons, what are thoughts on Michael Cohen?
After reading a bunch of old stuff, it seems like him and his dad invested in that Taxi Cab company
and for whatever reason, owe alot of money to some entity, whether it be IRS or a cabal person or bank
Not to mention, Cohen runs illegal business via other countries
So it would make sense the cabal got him, and his blackmailing him to do/say these things to/about Trump.

Senate Intel Committee Subpoenas Michael Cohen to Testify Before He Reports to Prison
The Senate Intel Committee issued Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen a subpoena Thursday to testify in mid-February, according to CNN.
It is unclear how Michael Cohen will respond.
The Senate Intel Panel traditionally conducts hearings in a closed-door setting, not publicly.
Michael Cohen was sentenced to 36 months in prison for tax crimes and for lying to Congress and must report to prison by March 6th.
A couple weeks ago, Cohen voluntarily offered to publicly testify to the House Oversight Committee on February 7th.
On Wednesday, Cohen postponed his Congressional hearing citing safety concerns.
Michael Cohen's Clinton-linked gutter dwelling lawyer Lanny Davis released a statement on Wednesday announcing the postponement of his client's hearing and accused the President of threatening Cohen's family.
"Due to ongoing threats against his family from President Trump and Mr. Giuliani, as recently as this weekend, as well as Mr. Cohen's continued cooperation with ongoing investigations, by advice of counsel, Mr. Cohen wishes to thank Chairman Cummings for allowing him to appear before the House Oversight Committee and looks forward to testifying at the appropriate time," Lanny Davis said, adding Cohen had to "put his family and their safety first."
The timing of Cohen's postponement is interesting given that BuzzFeed just got nuked by Robert Mueller after they floated a conspiracy theory that Cohen lied to Congress on President Trump's direction.
Perhaps Cohen is avoiding having to go on the record that he's a liar or perjure himself.
The House Oversight Committee may issue Michael Cohen a subpoena to compel testimony.
According to CNN, a source close to Cohen claims Cohen has the same safety concerns that led him to postpone his testimony to the House Oversight Committee.

Well, as I did mention to one of the dirtbag lawyers claiming POTUS was tampering with witnesses, Burr seems to be confident Cohen will again be in front of the Senate. Pretty sure he is out of lies too, considering the whining he did about POTUS saying "Watch the father in law" being a direct threat to his family. I wonder just what tales he is gonna spin about who got to him while working for POTUS and enticed him into smearing POTUS???

WATCH: CNN Plays Clip From 'The Godfather Part II' To Liken Trump To The Mafia
https://www.dailywire.com/news/42592/watch-cnn-plays-clip-godfather-part-ii-liken-trump-hank-berrien
On CNN's "New Day" on Thursday, the hosts of the show, apparently convinced that President Trump is intimidating his former attorney Michael Cohen into eschewing testifying against him, likened Trump to Mafia kingpin Michael Corleone in the film "The Godfather Part II" by playing a clip from the film showing Corleone intimidating a witness against him at a congressional hearing by having summoned the witness' brother to the hearing.
As Newsbusters reports, here is how the exchange on "New Day" went:
CNN host John Berman: You know what this reminds me of? I didn't go to law school, but I did see Godfather II.
CNN host Avlon: I knew you were going there!
Berman: Because you're saying you don't specifically say I'm going to hurt the father-in-law -
CNN host Alisyn Camerota: You say it would sure be bad if the father-in-law got hurt.
Berman: Or you just put the person in the audience like they did with Frankie Pentangeli's brother. Watch this.
The clip from the film followed, with the following dialogue from the hearing:
U.S senator: Would you kindly identify for the committee the gentleman sitting to your left?
Tom Hagen, (Michael Corleone's counselor): I can answer that. His name is Vincenzo Pentangeli.
Senator: Is he related to the witness?
Hagen: He is, I believe, his brother.
Berman chimed in, "All you do is you show the family member, you show that there might be a threat."

Michael Cohen just ruined Trump's 4th of July with a very telling move
BY BRIAN TYLER Cohen
PUBLISHED ON JULY 4, 2018
Another day, another Trump surrogate distancing himself from his former employer. Trump's ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, has taken a conspicuous step this morning as he awaits what is certain to be the damning results of the ongoing Southern District of New York probe.
While Cohen first disbanded his previous team of Trump-linked lawyers - who were in contact and coordinating with the White House - today he took his distancing a step further, and did so in a very public way. According to The New York Times' Maggie Haberman and CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Cohen has changed his Twitter page to remove all references to Trump, the last public link that the disgraced lawyer has to the president

Trump mocks Michael Cohen's 'interesting' decision to hire former Clinton lawyer fixer Lanny Davis
President Trump on Thursday bashed his former fixer Michael Cohen for hiring Lanny Davis, a former White House lawyer in the Clinton administration, to represent him.
"So interesting that bad lawyer Michael Cohen, who sadly will not be testifying before Congress, is using the lawyer of Crooked Hillary Clinton to represent him - Gee, how did that happen?" Trump tweeted Thursday morning. "Remember July 4th weekend when Crooked [Hillary] went before FBI & wasn't sworn in, no tape, nothing?"
Davis served as special counsel to former President Bill Clinton while he was in office from 1996 to 1998.
Trump brought up Cohen's choice of representation the morning after Cohen postponed his planned testimony before Congress Wednesday.

"Due to ongoing threats against his family from President Trump and Mr. Giuliani, as recently as this weekend, as well as Mr. Cohen's continued cooperation with ongoing investigations, by advice of counsel, Mr. Cohen's appearance will be postponed to a later date," said Lanny Davis, a Cohen spokesman. "This is a time when Mr. Cohen had to put his family and their safety first."

Cohen postpones testimony, citing threats from Trump
Michael Cohen, the former attorney and fixer for President Trump who is now cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller, is postponing his planned testimony next month to Congress.
"Due to ongoing threats against his family from President Trump and Mr. Giuliani, as recently as this weekend, as well as Mr. Cohen's continued cooperation with ongoing investigations, by advice of counsel, Mr. Cohen's appearance will be postponed to a later date," Cohen's lawyer Lanny Davis said in a statement.

AP sources: Pres. Trump, others agitated by Giuliani's performance
NEW YORK (AP) - Rudy Giuliani's latest media blitz, which was filled with a dizzying array of misstatements and hurried clarifications, agitated President Donald Trump and some of his allies, who have raised the possibility that the outspoken presidential lawyer be at least temporarily sidelined from televised interviews.
Trump was frustrated with Giuliani, according to three White House officials and Republicans close to the White House who were not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations. The president told advisers that he felt his lawyer had obscured what he believed was a public relations victory: the special counsel's rare public statement disputing portions of a BuzzFeed News story that Trump instructed his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to lie before Congress.
The president told confidants that Giuliani had "changed the headlines" for the worse and raised the possibility that Giuliani do fewer cable hits, at least for a while, according to the officials and Republicans.
Several of Trump's influential outside allies also have begun expressing reservations about Giuliani. Some members of this informal network of advisers, whom the president frequently calls from the White House residence, urged Trump in recent days to bench Giuliani - but most stopped short of suggesting he be fired, according to four White House officials and Republicans close to the White House.
Trump has not expressed an inclination to dismiss Giuliani.

Michael Cohen
Michael Cohen grew up in the Five Towns area of Long Island, New York, a heavily Jewish enclave.
But to understand how Michael Cohen arrived in those precincts, you need to venture across New York City's East River. There, in a Queens warehouse district in the shadows of an elevated No. 7 subway line, is a taxi garage that used to house his law practice. The office area in the front is painted a garish taxicab-yellow, with posters of hockey players on the wall and a framed photo of the late Hasidic rabbi Menachem Schneerson. Cohen practiced law there and invested in the once-lucrative medallions that grant New York cabs the right to operate.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will quiz Michael Cohen about Trump at his blockbuster testimony before Congress next month after winning a coveted spot on the prestigious House Oversight Committee
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, has joined the House Oversight Committee
The Committee has the power to launch investigations into Donald Trump and his administration, which its incoming members have pledged to do
She will question Michael Cohen when he testifies before Congress on Feb. 7
Liberal Congress freshmen Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Ro Khanna of California will also join the Committee
The House Oversight Committee is currently led by Democrat Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland
'I am excited - there were a lot of people that wanted to come on our committee,' he said on the incoming class
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has won a spot on the prestigious House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which has the power to investigate President Donald Trump.
And she'll start off by questioning Michael Cohen at his highly anticipated testimony before Congress scheduled for February 7.
She will also play a major role in questioning any Trump administration officials that are investigated by the powerful panel.
The 29-year-old Democratic-Socialist of New York joined the committee on Tuesday and is joined by fellow liberal Congress freshmen Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ro Khanna of California.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced the new appointments to House committees on Tuesday saying: 'We are thrilled that these outstanding Members will join these critical committees, where their fresh vision and powerful voices will be critical as Democrats deliver our ambitious agenda For The People'.
Ocasio-Cortez also confirmed her new position by retweeting posts about her membership Tuesday evening.
'Confirmed: @AOC wins a spot on the high-profile House Oversight committee, giving her a potentially huge platform to interrogate Trump administration officials in next two years,' White House New York Times correspondent Shane Goldman wrote in a post she retweeted.
There are 15 people on the Oversight Committee for the 116th Congress including Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Pressley, Khanna, Mark DeSaulnier of California, Jimmy Gomez of California, Katie Hill of California, Robin Kelly of Illinois, Brenda Lawrence of Michigan, Stacey Plaskett of U.S. Virgin Islands, Harley Rouda of California, John Sarbanes of Maryland, Jackie Speier of California, Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida and Peter Welch of Vermont.
The House Oversight committee is currently led by Democrat Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland and Ranking Member Republican Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio.
Cummings said he's excited about the new class joining the committee.
'If I based the choices going on the committee based on what people said or their reputations or whatever, I probably wouldn't have a committee,' he said to Politico.
'I am excited - there were a lot of people that wanted to come on our committee,' he said to Politico.

A Desperate Man : Michael Cohen
Don't be distracted by the gossip and tittle-tattle being spread about Michael Cohen. Forget taxi medallions and porn stars. They're meant to distract. As REX explains, the true DOJ investigations are likely focussed on Cohen's connections to illegal lobbying by Clinton proxies, on behalf of Ukraine.
Keep those names Yanukovych, Vekselberg and Poroshenko in mind, by the way. All were HUGE backers of The Clinton Foundation, which took the majority of its donations from Ukraine. And here's another fact that the mainstream media fail to mention: Cohen's connections to the Democratic Party and in particular, the Clintons.
So is this the likely reason Cohen is going down?

Intrigued with the idea that NBC has a $400 investment in Buzzfeed, so here's the rest of the article:
[starts with quote from Fox News; italicized]
"NBCUniversal invested $400 million in BuzzFeed and the two companies have a "strategic partnership," raising eyebrows about why the Peacock Network isn't more transparent when covering the controversial website.
"NBC News and MSNBC fawned over BuzzFeed's now-debunked report claiming President Trump directed his former attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress before the office of the special counsel released its rare statement.
"A search of transcripts from both MSNBC and NBC News didn't turn up any mention of the investment when the news organization covered BuzzFeed's discredited bombshell. While transcripts aren't always 100 percent accurate, it's clear the relationship was not disclosed with any consistency.

I'm stumped.
I can't tell you how many times Shepard Smith on Fox News will mention that the Wall Street Journal is in bed somehow with Fox News. You can discredit both all you want but at least they acknowledge they are in bed with each other financially.
Yet NBC news on Friday went full throttle crazy on the Buzzfeed story until Muller refuted it and Joe and Mika never told the audience that NBC pretty much owned those Buzzfeed hacks. Can anyone blame the public for looking at the shoddy reporting over the weekend and then behind the scenes crap likes this and yell #FAKE@#$%.
I didn't think so.
When you are the network that rigged up an explosive for a Dateline story to make it snazzy for T.V. and had to demote your evening anchor for lying about his war reporting experience you might want to try and lift the bar for yourself.
If not, just hire back Keith Olbermann and tank the whole network news division. That would be at least entertaining and honest for everyone to watch.

BuzzFeed Throws Hail Mary: Publishes New Trump Tower Moscow Docs
After last week's embarrassing debacle in which special counsel Robert Mueller issued a rare statement calling bullshit on BuzzFeed over their Trump Tower Moscow report that Trump ordered his attorney Michael Cohen to lie about the timeline, the beleaguered news outlet has taken a second bite at the apple with a new report (oddly written by a completely different journalist) refuting comments by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani that "no plans were ever made" for the project.
Not so fast Rudy…
In their new report, BuzzFeed claims that the Trump Tower Moscow idea was "led by Trump's then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, and his associate Felix Sater" despite writing in November that Sater both thought of and spearheaded the idea, turning to Cohen to "get it off the ground" while overpromising that he could seal the deal through his Russian connections that never panned out.
Sater, a brash real estate promoter who pleaded guilty to racketeering in 1998 and became a longtime asset to US law enforcement and intelligence agencies, had worked with the Trump Organization on deals in the past and said he came up with the idea. Cohen, Sater recalled, said, "Great idea." -BuzzFeed
Today's "gotcha," however is that the project had progressed much further than Giuliani claimed on Monday when he told the New Yorker "no plans were ever made. There were no drafts. Nothing in the file."

'We still have no evidence of collusion'
USA TODAY Published 8:00 p.m. ET Jan. 22, 2019 | Updated 8:04 p.m. ET Jan. 22, 2019
What people are saying about President Donald Trump and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
Jay Sekulow, Fox News: "The level of animosity aimed at President Donald Trump by the liberal media reached new heights with the publication of BuzzFeed's bogus report alleging, per unnamed sources, that the president told his attorney Michael Cohen to lie in congressional testimony about his business dealings with Russia. The moment the story was published, the liberal media jumped for joy - and the drumbeat started - repeating the falsehoods beginning with a common mantra used by many in the media: 'If it's true …' You can fill in the blanks from there. 'If it's true …' - all together now - 'the president committed a crime and should be impeached.' … As counsel to the president, exposing the BuzzFeed story for what it really was proved once more that media speculation with no factual backup not only damages the credibility of the news media itself but represents a danger to our constitutional republic."
Katie Pavlich, The Hill: "The special counsel investigation hasn't only been an indictment of Paul Manafort or Michael Cohen for personal crimes unrelated to collusion, it's also been an indictment of the media and a transparent view into how most reporters view the Trump presidency."
Matt Margolis, PJ Media: "I understand the left's desire to hold onto the fantasy that the Mueller investigation will reveal all the evidence and Trump will be forced to resign or be impeached and removed from office, but that's just not going happen. … It has been two years, and we still have no evidence of collusion, because it didn't happen."
President Donald Trump on Jan. 19, 2019.
OUR VIEW: Trump pursued a deal in Russia and hid it from voters
Kevin Drum, Mother Jones: "It's obvious what Rudy Giuliani has been doing ever since he started representing Trump last year: Tossing out chaff so vigorously that nobody can tell from day to day what the current story is supposed to be. The point of this - and this is the important part - is not just to confuse everyone. It's to make Giuliani the bearer of bad news so that eventually, when Trump is forced to admit something damaging, it's 'old news' that he's been 'saying all along.' … It shows a sophisticated understanding of how the modern media works and how to undermine it."
Jennifer Rubin, The Washington Post: "Trump's chances for a second term are shrinking. … This is not a prediction that Trump will be impeached and removed or forced to resign. Republicans remain sheeplike in their devotion. However, it is more likely than at any time in his presidency that he won't finish or won't be nominated. And if by some miracle he survives a primary challenge, he'll reach the general election bruised and battered, a much easier target than any president since Gerald Ford. Indeed, with each passing day, the 2020 election looks like the post-Watergate 1976 election. Now imagine 1976 if Nixon were still the incumbent

NBC raises eyebrows over $400 million relationship with BuzzFeed
NBCUniversal invested $400 million in BuzzFeed and the two companies have a "strategic partnership," raising eyebrows about why the Peacock Network isn't more transparent when covering the controversial website. NBC News and MSNBC fawned over BuzzFeed's now-debunked report claiming President Trump directed his former attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress before the office of the special counsel released its rare statement. A search of transcripts from both MSNBC and NBC News didn't turn up any mention of the investment when the news organization covered BuzzFeed's discredited bombshell. While transcripts aren't always 100 percent accurate, it's clear the relationship was not disclosed with any consistency. "NBCU is indeed an investor and a great strategic partner, but I'm afraid you'd have to ask them about how and when they disclose that information," A BuzzFeed spokesperson told Fox News. NBC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall told Fox News that it should be "standard operating procedure that a media organization explain its financial interests and connections" in such a situation. "Most news consumers would have no idea that BuzzFeed is supported financially by NBC," McCall said. "Even with the news operations being editorially independent from each other, reporting by NBC/MSNBC of BuzzFeed content should be put in context, just so viewers can have full and transparent bases on which to assess the story.
BuzzFeed cited two anonymous federal law enforcement officials, who alleged that the special counsel had evidence that the president told Cohen to lie about dealings regarding a potential Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 election. Some industry insiders were skeptical, as news organizations such as The New York Times couldn't match the damaging claims. But MSNBC and others ran with the report, often adding disclaimers such as "if true" throughout the day as they covered the Buzzfeed article as the nail in Trump's coffin. The news cycle came to a sudden halt when the office of the special counsel released its rare statement on Friday night. "BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, & characterization of documents & testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate," special counsel spokesman Peter Carr stated. BuzzFeed has stood by the report and defended its authors. MSNBC mentioned impeachment a whopping 97 times before the report was debunked, according to The Daily Caller.
McCall believes that MSNBC helped lead the promotion of the Cohen story, but he doubts a producer actually "sat down and consciously decided to push" the now-debunked story. "This story had plenty enough about Trump to prompt NBC, MSNBC to want to push it... a simple mention of the financial interest would have been a helpful gesture, so viewers can make their own conclusions about whether NBC and MSNBC are treating the BuzzFeed story as real news or hyping the story to help a corporate sibling," he said. "Being extra transparent on such financial interests is always preferable."
NBCUniversal initially invested $200 million in 2015. Shortly after the 2016 election, NBCUniversal and BuzzFeed announced "an additional $200M investment to expand the strategic partnership between the two companies and fund the growth of BuzzFeed's industry leading news and entertainment network." Reporter-turned-investment banker Porter Bibb told Fox news that NBCUniversal "controls" BuzzFeed. "Their $400 million investment is just the tip of the iceberg. They use BuzzFeed content throughout the NBC system and should have disclosed their ownership when reporting especially unconfirmed stories, especially highly contentious reports suggesting the president committed a criminal act," Bibb said. "Another egregious failure on the part of NBC news chief Andy Lack."

Giuliani Communicated with Mueller's Team About BuzzFeed Fake News Trump-Cohen-Moscow Article - Agreed Much of it False
Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani communicated with Mueller's team about the BuzzFeed Trump-Cohen-Moscow conspiracy theory floated last week and the special counsel agreed much of it was false.
The BuzzFeed articled claimed text messages and emails backed up their claims President Trump suborned perjury and instructed Cohen to lie to Congress.
"There are no texts and emails or other documents to corroborate BuzzFeed's claim for the simple reason that it is not true," Giuliani told Fox News. "Whoever is responsible for this is lying."
BuzzFeed got nuked by Mueller's office last week after they floated a fake news Trump-Cohen-Moscow report late last Thursday night.
BuzzFeed dropped some late night 'Trump-Russia' fake news after the media and Dems had a rough day dealing with 'Air Pelosi.'
BuzzFeed reported late Thursday night that according to law enforcement sources, Trump directed his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the proposed Trump Tower in Moscow.
The BuzzFeed reporters who worked on the hit piece doubled and tripled down even though Mueller's team released a rare statement nuking their claims.
Last Friday evening, a spokesperson for the special counsel disputed BuzzFeed's junk report, calling it "not accurate."
"BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate," the statement from Mueller's spokesperson read.
Conservative news sites immediately began to poke holes in BuzzFeed's ridiculous Trump-Russia report, however, Dem lawmakers came out swinging calling for Trump's impeachment.
Conservative radio host Mark Levin said last week that Mueller released the rare statement rebuking BuzzFeed's article to 'cover their asses' and avoid a leak investigation.

Q Research General #6190: MLK Jr. Day Edition
Russia: We didn't talk to anyone about a Trump real estate deal
Russia had no discussions with President Trump or anyone on his team during the 2016 elections about a proposed real estate project in Moscow, a senior Russian official told reporters Monday. "No, the Kremlin did not hold talks with anyone at all about building the tower," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to state-run TASS. Putin's spokesman released that statement as Trump's apparent interest in Moscow real estate dominated the Washington, D.C., media landscape over the weekend. BuzzFeed prompted the discussion with a report, since contradicted by special counsel Robert Mueller's office, that the president directed then-attorney Michael Cohen to lie to federal investigators about his interest in a Moscow Trump Tower during the election.
"The conversations lasted throughout parts of 2016," Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Sunday on "Meet the Press" while discussing Cohen's efforts to broker the project. "But the president's recollection of it is that the the thing had petered out quite a bit. They sent a letter of intent in. They didn't even know where to send it they knew so little about it." Trump denied any financial interest in Russia throughout the campaign and in the early months of his presidency. "I have had dealings over the years where I sold a house to a very wealthy Russian many years ago," he told NBC in May of 2017. "I had the Miss Universe pageant - which I owned for quite a while - I had it in Moscow a long time ago. But other than that, I have nothing to do with Russia."
Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the intelligence panel, argued that Giuliani's comments justified his committee's ongoing investigation. "Why, two years after the fact, are we just learning this fact now, when there's been this much inquiry?" Warner asked. "I don't often feel bad for Rudy Giuliani. This morning, just seeing that interview, I almost feel bad for him. He keeps having to readjust his stories as more facts come out. So we now know that Mr. Trump or his operation was still trying to do business with Moscow up until his election. We now know that his campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, gave confidential information to a Russian agent, and we don't know what that Russian agent did with that."
Trump discussed the topic more generally in November. "There was a good chance that I wouldn't have won, in which case I would have gotten back into the business, and why should I lose lots of opportunities?" the president said, as the New York Times recalled.
Putin's team portrayed Cohen as ineffective, saying the attorney sent multiple messages to "the publicly accessible e-mail of the Russian presidential administration," as TASS put it. Peskov added that he couldn't say if Trump was aware of the effort. "How do we know who kept this under control and what were the issues? Trump personally or someone else?" Peskov said. "The Americans themselves and the U.S. president personally are in a better position to judge."

Desperate Adam Schiff Will Investigate B.S. Claims in Buzzfeed Story Disputed by Mueller
by Team Bongino
January 21, 2019
Despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office took the extraordinary step to publicly dispute a Buzzfeed smear article about President Trump, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is determined to investigate the unfounded claims made by the publication.
Yesterday, during CBS's Face the Nation, Schiff said he would "absolutely" investigate the debunked claims in the Buzzfeed story which reported that President Trump instructed his attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about a Trump Tower project in Moscow.
When asked by Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan if he would investigate the Buzzfeed article, Schiff replied, "Absolutely, absolutely. Congress has a fundamental interest in two things first in getting to the bottom of why a witness came before us and lied and who else was knowledgeable that this was a lie."
On Friday, Mueller spokesman Peter Carr said "BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate."
The President responded to the Buzzfeed story on Friday, writing on Twitter, "Remember it was Buzzfeed that released the totally discredited "Dossier," paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats (as opposition research), on which the entire Russian probe is based! A very sad day for journalism, but a great day for our Country!"

Dems Who Pushed BuzzFeed Report Silent After Special Counsel Statement
Democrats who pushed BuzzFeed's anonymously-sourced report that President Trump had instructed his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress were silent Friday evening after Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office issued a statement disputing the report.
"BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate," Special Counsel spokesman Peter Carr said in a statement.
Hours before Mueller's statement, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) issued a statement, suggesting the president may have committed "subornation of perjury" as well as "obstruction of justice," and pledging to investigate the allegations.
Schiff was silent on Twitter for hours after the Special Counsel's statement.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) tweeted and retweeted tweets on BuzzFeed's report 15 times, and he went on MSNBC's Hardball on Friday to discuss the report, just before the Special Counsel released its statement.
After BuzzFeed's report was published on Thursday, Lieu tweeted in all-caps: "THIS IS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE."
He also appeared on Hardball with Lieu, and retweeted a link to his appearance, but was silent Friday night on the BuzzFeed story after the Special Counsel's statement.
He did, like Lieu, tweet about the shutdown.
Schiff, Lieu, and Swalwell have been leaders in investigating Trump for potential "collusion" with Russians during his campaign.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) also jumped on the report and pledged to investigate.

A nasty man connected to Felix Sater, a nasty Chabad Jewish man
It takes a little more doing to understand the Trump family's connections to Lev Leviev.
To begin with, we need to go back to Bayrock, the company that Donald Trump teamed up with to build his Trump Soho project. There were three main actors in that enterprise. One was convicted mob associate and murky FBI informant Felix Sater. Another was Tevfik Arif, a shady man with likely Russian intelligence connections who was once was arrested by the Turks on Mustafa Kamal Ataturk's yacht and "charged with running an international underage prostitution ring." The third was the late Tamir Sapir, another man with ties to Russian intelligence. If you're interested in this aspect of the story, I refer you to my Trump's Soho Project, the Mob, and Russian Intelligence article and also Mike Lofgren's piece: Mobbed Up, both written in late February.
Interestingly, all these men have connections to the CHABAD MOVEMENT. Felix Sater was honored as Man of the Year in 2014 by the Port Washington Chabad house. The same Chabad house's website lists Tevfik Arif, who is not Jewish, "among its top 13 benefactors."

But to understand how Michael Cohen arrived in those precincts, you need to venture across New York City's East River.

The office area in the front is painted a garish taxicab-yellow, with posters of hockey players on the wall and a framed photo of the late Hasidic rabbi Menachem Schneerson. Cohen practiced law there and invested in the once-lucrative medallions that grant New York cabs the right to operate.
Behind the scenes, Cohen was still attempting to make deals for Trump in the former Soviet Union. Cohen drafted a letter of intent with a Moscow investment company to build Trump World Tower Moscow.
Cohen's partner in the deal was Felix Sater, a Trump associate who had been convicted of assault and securities fraud and had widely reported connections to the Russian mob. "Let's make this happen and build a Trump Moscow," Sater wrote in an email to Cohen. "And possibly fix relations between the countries by showing everyone commerce and business are much better and more practical than politics."

BuzzFeed's Report Has Been Disputed By Mueller, But Adam Schiff Is Going To Investigate Anyway
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Sunday he will "absolutely" investigate allegations made in a controversial BuzzFeed article even though the report has been directly disputed by the special counsel's office.
"Absolutely. Absolutely," Schiff told CBS's "Face the Nation" when asked whether he would investigate allegations laid out in a BuzzFeed article published Thursday.
"Congress has a fundamental interest in two things. First, getting to the bottom of why this witness came before us and lied, and who else was knowledgeable that this was a lie," the California Democrat added.
BuzzFeed reported former Trump attorney Michael Cohen told the special counsel's office President Donald Trump instructed him to lie to Congress about his efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. The website also reported documents and witness testimony would corroborate Cohen's statements to prosecutors.
Schiff and other Democrats immediately pounced on the report, calling for an investigation into whether Trump obstructed justice or suborned perjury by instructing Cohen to lie to Congress.
But in a rare move, the special counsel issued an on-the-record statement disputing the key allegations made in the BuzzFeed story.
"BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate," Peter Carr, a spokesman for special counsel Robert Mueller, said in a statement Friday night.
Schiff said he assumed the Mueller statement was prompted by the reaction to the BuzzFeed story.
"Also it may have to do with the special counsel wanting to use Michael Cohen as a witness in further prosecutions and wanting to make sure that the public didn't have the perception he was saying more than he was saying, at least to the special counsel," Schiff said.

Donald Trump thanks Robert Mueller for disputing Buzzfeed report that claims president directed Cohen to lie
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump took an unusual step Saturday: He thanked Robert Mueller.
Normally a critic over the Russia investigation, Trump said he is gratified that Mueller and the special counsel's office disputing a highly publicized news report that had accused the president of ordering former attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.
"I very much appreciate that," Trump told reporters at the White House.
In a rare public statement, Mueller's office on Friday criticized a BuzzFeed News report saying that Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress about the timing of talks on a proposed Trump project in Russia.
"BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate," said Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller's office.
Despite worldwide coverage and big interest, Mueller's office has stayed mostly quiet on reports regarding the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
The BuzzFeed report alleged that Trump instructed Cohen to lie to Congress about the Trump Organization's pursuit of a deal to build a luxury residential high-rise in the center of Moscow, hoping to conceal these actions during his presidential bid.
The story also asserted that Mueller's office knew of the president's alleged actions after obtaining information through internal emails, text messages and multiple interviews.
Trump and aides denounced both the story and the media in general for reporting on it.
"It's a total phony story," Trump said.
BuzzFeed defended its story.
"We stand by our reporting and the sources who informed it," editor-in-chief Ben Smith tweeted, "and we urge the Special Counsel to make clear what he's disputing."

With all the hype around the Cohen article, and all the credibility the MSM has been giving it, I would have thought they were actually a news organization.
No! It turns out they are the guys writing all the clickbait articles that AdSense thinks I will be interested in at the bottom of other news articles.

CNN's Toobin: BuzzFeed 'Bombshell' 'Reinforces' View 'Media Are a Bunch of Leftist Liars' 'Willing to Lie' to 'Get' Trump
After Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office disputed a Friday "bombshell" BuzzFeed report, based on anonymous sources, that claimed President Donald Trump ordered his then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen to lie about a proposed Trump Tower project in Russia, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said BuzzFeed's disputed story "reinforces" the belief that many Americans have that the media "are a bunch of leftists liars" who are willing to lie to "get" Trump.
"This is a bad day for the news media. Let's not kid ourselves," Toobin said on CNN. "The larger message that a lot of people are going to take from this story is that the news media are a bunch of leftist liars who are dying to get the president, and they're willing to lie to do it."
Toobin said he did not "think that's true," but again added that "this is a bad day for us" because "it reinforces every bad stereotype about the media."

CNN And MSNBC Repeatedly Floated Impeachment Over Disputed BuzzFeed Report
CNN and MSNBC collectively used the word "impeach" nearly 200 times on Friday before the Special Counsel's office disputed a bombshell report by BuzzFeed News.
According to a Daily Caller review of TV clipping service Grabien, personalities on CNN and MSNBC used the words "Impeach," "Impeachment," or "Impeachable," 179 times.
The review included only original Friday programming and ran up until each network learned that BuzzFeed's report was in dispute - shortly before 8 pm.
CNN mentioned impeachment 82 times while MSNBC mentioned it a whopping 97 times.
While some anchors and pundits hedged that the BuzzFeed story could only lead to impeachment proceedings "if true," others repeated the story more uncritically and suggested that the president would be forced to resign and might even face obstruction of justice charges.
MSNBC's Katy Tur, for example, stated at the top of her show that "Donald Trump is facing the most damming report to date for his presidency. A story that could lead to his impeachment."
Both outlets also interviewed a number of Democratic congresspeople to get their thoughts on the possibility of impeachment of the president. CNN's Wolf Blitzer, for example, spoke to Democratic Rep. Jim Himes about the implications of the BuzzFeed report if it turned out to be verified, while MSNBC host Chris Matthews brought on Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu.
Matthews was perhaps the most eager cable television host to prop up BuzzFeed's report, even insisting after the Special Counsel's office's statement that, "not accurate ... it doesn't mean it's not true."
BuzzFeed's story, dependent on two anonymous sources, alleged that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was directed by President Donald Trump to lie about business deals in Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign.
A spokesperson for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team disputed the crux of the report within 24 hours of its publication, stating, "BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate."

BuzzFeed Leads with Fake News 'Collusion' Story Hours After Refuted by Mueller
Buzzfeednews.com on Friday evening led with a report on Democrat lawmakers pledging to investigate President Donald Trump over its report claiming the president directed Michael Cohen, his former personal attorney, to make false statements to Congress - hours after the office of special counsel Robert Mueller denied the story's veracity, describing it as "not accurate."
The report - "Lawmakers Vow To Investigate Trump After Bombshell Report" - written by BuzzFeed politics reporter Emma Loop - is a roundup of reactions from top Democrats to the news organization's report, citing two unidentified law enforcement officials alleging the president asked Cohen to lie to lawmakers about a proposal to build a Trump tower in the Russian capital of Moscow.
BuzzFeed claimed Cohen told Mueller that President Trump personally instructed him to lie about the timing of the project in order to obscure Trump's involvement. No other news organization was able to confirm the report nearly 24 hours after its publication.
Further, BuzzFeed said Mueller's investigators learned about President Trump's directive "through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents."
The report says Cohen then acknowledged Trump's instructions when he was interviewed by the Mueller team. "We are continuing to report and determine what the special counsel is disputing. We remain confident in the accuracy of our report," Ben Smith, BuzzFeed's editor-in-chief, said in a statement on the special counsel's dispute of its reportage.
The screenshot below shows BuzzFeed leading with Loop's report at 9:38 p.m. EST. The subsequent screenshot shows the report was last updated at 12:10 p.m. EST - hours after the special counsel's dispute of the report's underlying claims.

BuzzFeed has made at least the following three (3) allegations which they claim were provided to them by 'two federal law enforcement officials':
1. POTUS directed Michael Cohen to lie about the Moscow a Tower Project.
A spokesman for Special Counsel (Bob Mueller) characterized this claim as inaccurate.
2. Trump supported a plan to visit Russia during the presidential campaign in order to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin to jump start negotiations on the Moscow Tower Project.
A spokesman for Special Counsel (Bob Mueller) characterized this claim as inaccurate.
3. Ivanka and Donald Trump, Jr. received regular, detailed updates from Cohen regarding the Moscow Tower Project.
A spokesman for Special Counsel (Bob Mueller) characterized this claim as inaccurate.
Chris Matthews (MSNBC) has chimed in saying that just because the Special Counsel's spokesman stated that BuzzFeed's claims were inaccurate did not mean the claims were untrue.
So, Chris, it appears you are attempting to pick up this ball and run with it. But remember, the BURDEN OF PROOF lies with the party who brings the allegation.

Swalwell: Trump Is a Russian Agent 'Working on Behalf of the Russians'
BY: Jeffrey Cimmino
January 18, 2019 9:00 pm
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) said Friday that he believes President Donald Trump is a Russian agent working on behalf of Moscow.
"Do you believe the president, right now, has been an agent of the Russians?" MSNBC host Chris Matthews asked Swalwell.
"Yes, I think there's more evidence that he is-" Swalwell said.
"Agent?" Matthews interjected
"Yes," Swalwell continued, "and I think all the arrows point in that direction, and I haven't seen a single piece of evidence that he's not."
"An agent like in the 1940s where you had people who were 'reds,' to use an old term, like that? In other words, working for a foreign power?" Matthews asked.
"He's working on behalf of the Russians, yes," Swalwell said.
Later in the segment, Swalwell suggested that Trump might also be working on behalf of other countries, such as Saudi Arabia.
"We should not assume that he is faithful only to Russia. I think there are other countries that he has business dealings with that he would work on behalf of, like the Saudis," Swalwell said.
Swalwell's comments came after BuzzFeed published a report late Thursday claiming that Trump ordered his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Last month, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for crimes including "tax violations, lying to a bank, and, during the 2016 campaign, buying the silence of women who claimed that they once had affairs with the future president."
Special counsel Robert Mueller's office issued a statement disputing BuzzFeed's report.
"BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's congressional testimony are not accurate," the statement read.

Fima Shusterman, Michael Cohen's Father-in-Law
Shusterman May Have Introduced Cohen to Trump
Seth Hettena, a long-time Associated Press reporter who wrote a book about Trump's possible ties to Russia, says that Cohen's father in law was the first person to introduce him to Trump. An excerpt of Hettena's book, Trump / Russia: A Definitive History, appeared in Rolling Stone Magazine last year.
Hettena said that his sources, former federal investigators, said that Shusterman went into business with Trump and later helped get his son in law, Michael Cohen, a job in the Trump organization.

Q Research General #6140: POTUS Speaking on Popcorn Saturday Edition
Is Amy Klobuchar a time traveler from the future? Or an actor reading her script? Anons know Q has said we are watching a movie but never has the script been this obvious.
Actors are even being cast to take on rolls involving similar story lines they've performed in the past. And the Oscar goes to Jason Leopold.
January 15 2019
Amy Klobuchar. questions attorney general nominee, about specific statements he made in a memo Re: "Mueller's Obstruction Theory". Barr writes that he is concerned about the nature of the Mueller investigation.
Klobuchar asked three specific questions on statements made in his memo that are alarming.
"A president pursuading a person to commit perjury is obstruction?"
"A president or any person convincing a person to change testimony is obstruction?"
"what if a president told a witness not to cooperative with an investigation or hinted at a pordon?"
https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4775019/klobuchar-barr-obstruction
https://www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/June-2018-Barr-Memo-to-DOJ-Muellers-Obstruction-Theory-1.2.pdf
January 17 10:11 P.M ET
BuzzFeed journalists Jason Leopold and Anthony Courmier publish an article that indicates Donald Trump obstructed justice by instructing Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.
Quoted from article, "Now the two sources have told BuzzFeed News that Cohen also told the special counsel that after the election, the president personally instructed him to lie - by claiming that negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did - in order to obscure Trump's involvement."
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonleopold/trump-russia-Cohen-moscow-tower-mueller-investigation
How does Klobuchar ask such detailed questions about a news story that has not occurred yet?
The similarities are obviously scripted to attack the minds of Americans. The fabricated article is designed to convince the general public that Mueller's investigation MUST continue and possibly even get amped up a few more notches. They ask William Barr to answer questions about obstruction of justice to show video of it later when he does nothing. Klobuchar never follows her questioning with "a president can be charged with obstruction of justice regardless of how credible/accurate the proof is correct"? William Barr answered the question correctly because Trump never did anything and the only proof is Michael Cohen and 2 actors that write for BuzzFeed"
Oh but wait it gets even better... Jason Leopold has an interesting history involving similar acting rolls.
In 2002, while working at Salon, Leopold purported on acts of guilt by executives of Enron. The falsely purported an e-mail from then-Army secretary Thomas White, a former Enron executive, which White said he had no recollection of writing. Leopold reported that White, while at Enron, had written: "Close a bigger deal. Hide the loss before the 1Q." The online magazine initially said Leopold had plagiarized part of the story, then retracted it altogether. Actor/Clinton Fixer
In 2006, found himself again in controversy. Leopold claimed that multiple sources "confirmed Karl Rove's indictment is imminent. These individuals requested anonymity saying they were not authorized to speak publicly about Rove's situation." Falsely reporting Rove was going to be indicted (sound familiar?)
Can I get an Ivy league statistic professor to determine the probability of events like this occurring?

Enjoy the show

Q Research General #6137: Nancy and Chuck Love Bricks Edition
What Happened? Michael Cohen Spotted in New York With a Black Eye, Arm in a Sling
Trump's former lawyer-turned-rat Michael Cohen was spotted returning to his Manhattan apartment Friday with a black eye, his arm in a sling and a bandage on his hand.
It appears Michael Cohen also had a hospital ID band on his wrist - what happened?
The Daily Mail reported:
Longtime Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen returned to his Manhattan apartment Friday after suffering some kind of physical injury - with his arm appearing to be in a sling on a day President Trump and his team once again branded him a liar.
Cohen could be seen Friday with his left arm covered, hanging in a sling, while sporting a possible black eye. His right hand had a small bandage of the kind used to cover a small wound by an IV.
He also wore a red identification of the kind distributed by hospitals.
Cohen's representative didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about his condition or what happened.
Michael Cohen made headlines late Thursday night after BuzzFeed published a ridiculous article claiming Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress.
The BuzzFeed story fell apart by Friday morning after the two journalists who wrote the piece admitted they never even saw the underlying report to back up their claims.
Cohen was sentenced to 36 months in prison for lying to Congress and other charges related to his taxi medallion company in December and will report to prison on March 6th.
In the meantime, Cohen is 'helping Mueller' turn the screws on President Trump.
President Trump blasted Michael Cohen on Friday morning and accused him of "lying to reduce his jail time."

What happened to Michael Cohen? Mystery ex-Trump fixer arrives at home with apparent black eye and arm in sling hours after bombshell report that president ordered him to LIE to Congress
Longtime Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen returned to his Manhattan apartment Friday after suffering some kind of physical injury - with his arm appearing to be in a sling on a day President Trump and his team once again branded him a liar.
Cohen could be seen Friday with his left arm covered, hanging in a sling, while sporting a possible black eye. His right hand had a small bandage of the kind used to cover a small wound by an IV.
He also wore a red identification of the kind distributed by hospitals.
Cohen's representative didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about his condition or what happened.

Michael Cohen May Back Out Of Congressional Hearing Over Trump Comments
In an appearance on MSNBC, Lanny Davis said Cohen is reconsidering whether to testify before Congress because of comments from President Donald Trump about Cohen's father-in-law.
"There is genuine fear and it causes Michael Cohen to consider whether he should go forward or not. And he's not yet made a final decision," Davis told MSNBC's Ari Melber.
Trump took aim at Cohen's father-in-law during an interview Saturday with Fox's Jeanine Pirro.
"[Cohen] should give information maybe on his father-in-law, because that's the one that people want to look at," Trump said.
"Because where does that money - that's the money in the family. And I guess he didn't want to talk about his father-in-law - he's trying to get his sentence reduced."
"So it's pretty sad," Trump continued. "It's weak and it's very sad to watch a thing like that."
Trump's remarks garnered an immediate rebuke from Democrats who accused the Republican of witness intimidation and tampering.

Skeptics Shred BuzzFeed Over Trump Tower Scoop; Journo Admits He Hasn't Seen Evidence
Skeptics are taking aim at a Thursday night BuzzFeed report that President Trump "personally instructed" his former attorney Michael Cohen to lie to congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Less than 12 hours after the report, its credibility has been called into question after the two journalists who wrote the story gave vastly different answers as to whether they had actually the evidence - while many have pointed to the "dubious past" of reporter Jason Leopold.

still intends to testify before Congress despite concerns for his family
https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/17/politics/Michael-Cohen-testify-congress-concern-family/index.html
Cohen agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee on February 7. One of the sources said Cohen is concerned that a public hearing would make things worse for his family and is concerned about their safety. Trump publicly suggested in a Fox News interview over the weekend, without providing evidence, that he is aware of damaging information about Cohen's family.
The source said Cohen was glad that the chairman of the committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, put out a strong statement condemning Trump's remarks to Fox.
"It is unacceptable for anyone – including the President – to try to bully or intimidate our witnesses, to try to get them not to testify, to try to scare or threaten their family members, or to try to interfere with Congress' search for the truth," Cummings said earlier this week. "Our Committee has a long and bipartisan history of protecting the ability of witnesses to provide their information to us without even the appearance of intimidation or retaliation."

ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!!!!
BuzzFeed Reporter Admits He Hasn't Seen the Evidence He Cited in Trump Tower Report
BuzzFeed's Anthony Cormier is one half of the writing team that published the bombshell report about the Trump Tower project in Moscow Thursday. In it, the authors allege that President Trump told his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to the FBI about the timeline of the construction project. The report cites "sources," sans names, but on CNN, Cormier insisted that those individuals check out and that he's "100 percent" sure their story is accurate.
On the other hand, he told Alisyn Camerota that he has "not personally" seen the evidence he cited in the report. But, he said, "the folks we have talked to - two officials we have spoken to are fully, 100 percent read into that aspect of the Special Counsel's investigation."
He went on to explain that his "sources" have been on the Trump Tower Moscow project long before Mueller was even in the picture and they had invaluable materials.
"So they had access to a number of different documents, 302 reports which are interview reports," Cormier said. "That stuff was compiled as they began to look at who the players were speaking with, how those negotiations went, who all from the Trump organization and outside the organization were involved in getting that tower set up."
The CNN hosts brought up how Cormier's co-author Jason Leopold was once under fire for his inaccurate reports he wrote about Karl Rove for Salon in 2002. Still, CNN contributor Garrett Graff seemed content with the BuzzFeed authors' report, considering they were the team who "nailed" the Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Russian lawyer Natalia V. Veselnitskaya in 2016.
"I have every reason to trust their sourcing," Graff said.
Democratic representative David Cicilline (RI), who also admitted he has not seen the evidence that Cormier cited, nevertheless predicted that it could be "the most serious threat" to Trump's presidency. He demanded Congress be given the chance to investigate.

Fima Shusterman, father-in-law of President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen, reportedly loaned at least $20 million to a Chicago taxicab mogul.
That cab operator, Yasya Shtayner, and her husband Semyon, are reportedly mentioned in search warrants that were used to raid Cohen's residence and office last week in New York City.
Prosecutors also sought documents related to Cohen's payment of $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels right before the 2016 presidential election that Trump won.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-news/trump-lawyers-family-lent-20m-to-wife-of-chicago-cab-mogul
Over the past eight months, Cohen's father-in-law has given at least $20 million in loans to Yasya Shtayner, records examined by the Chicago Sun-Times show. Her family owns Chicago Medallion Management Corp., which manages 368 taxicabs, including 22 owned by Cohen.
Shtayner has received eight loans from Cohen's father-in-law, Fima Shusterman, according to documents filed with the Cook County recorder of deeds.
Shusterman and the Shtayners, all immigrants from Ukraine to New York City in the 1970s, couldn't be reached for comment.
Cohen has a dozen other medallions that have been suspended by Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration for 89 violations, including having expired insurance and license plates. Those Cohen medallions were operated by Dispatch Taxi, a company created by Savas Tsitiridis and Evgeny "Gene" Freidman to operate nearly 400 cabs in Chicago. Freidman and Cohen have been business partners, and both men operated taxis in New York City.
Cohen has about 32 medallions in New York City. His cabs there were once operated by Symon Garber, a Ukrainian immigrant who became Chicago's taxi king, operating more than 700 cabs after he befriended Patrick Daley, the son of Mayor Richard M. Daley, more than 15 years ago. In Chicago, the mayor controls the number of cabs that can operate in the city.

Ivanka Trump issues carefully worded denial of BuzzFeed report on Trump Tower Moscow
TRAVIS GETTYS
18 JAN 2019 AT 09:27 ET
Ivanka Trump has denied playing a significant role in negotiations of a possible Trump Tower in Moscow in response to a BuzzFeed report about her father allegedly directing attorney Michael Cohen to commit perjury.
The president's daughter and senior adviser issued a statement through a spokesperson denying the website's reporting about her involvement in the project, which Cohen has said remained under negotiation for much longer than he had told Congress.
"Ms. Trump did not know about this proposal until after a non-binding letter of intent had been signed, never talked to anyone outside the organization about the proposal, never visited the projected project site and was only minimally involved," the spokesperson said in a statement.
The website reported that Cohen told special counsel Robert Mueller that he provided details about the Moscow project to the president and his eldest two children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr.

But to understand how Michael Cohen arrived in those precincts, you need to venture across New York City's East River. There, in a Queens warehouse district in the shadows of an elevated No. 7 subway line, is a taxi garage that used to house his law practice. The office area in the front is painted a garish taxicab-yellow, with posters of hockey players on the wall and a framed photo of the late Hasidic rabbi Menachem Schneerson. Cohen practiced law there and invested in the once-lucrative medallions that grant New York cabs the right to operate.

Donald Trump threatened with impeachment and jail time
A top Democrat in the US Congress has vowed to look into a report that US President Donald Trump ordered his personal lawyer to lie to Congress to hide dealings with Russia.
Adam Schiff, who heads the Intelligence Committee in the House of Representatives, was reacting to a report by the online site BuzzFeed that Mr Trump ordered lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress in 2017 about talks to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign.
A top Democrat in the US Congress has vowed to look into a report that US President Donald Trump ordered his personal lawyer to lie to Congress to hide dealings with Russia.
Adam Schiff, who heads the Intelligence Committee in the House of Representatives, was reacting to a report by the online site BuzzFeed that Mr Trump ordered lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress in 2017 about talks to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign.
"The allegation that the President of the United States may have suborned perjury before our committee in an effort to curtail the investigation and cover up his business dealings with Russia is among the most serious to date," Mr Schiff tweeted.
"We will do what's necessary to find out if it's true."
Mr Trump also supported a Cohen plan to visit Russia during the presidential campaign to meet President Vladimir Putin to jump-start the Moscow tower negotiations according to BuzzFeed, which cites two unnamed federal law enforcement officials as sources.
The trip never materialised, and Mr Trump has repeatedly and emphatically denied dealings with Russia during the campaign.
Cohen also provided Mr Trump and two of his children - Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. - regular updates about the Moscow project, the sources told BuzzFeed.
Cohen, who was the real estate billionaire's right-hand-man and fixer at his umbrella company the Trump Organisation, in New York at the time, pleaded guilty last year to several charges including the violation of campaign finance laws by arranging hush payments ahead of the 2016 election to women who alleged extramarital affairs with Mr Trump.
Cohen also pleaded guilty to lying to Congress by stating that the Trump Moscow project ended in January 2016, long before Mr Trump became the Republican presidential nominee, when it actually extended into June 2016.
The New York lawyer, 52, was sentenced to three years in jail for the campaign finance violation and other charges.
His incarceration has been delayed while he provides support to ongoing investigations into possible Trump campaign collusion with Russia and Mr Trump's finances.
Cohen is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee, newly controlled by opposition Democrats, on February 7 about his work for Mr Trump.

Trump "Personally Instructed" Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About Moscow Project: BuzzFeed
President Trump instructed his former longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to congress about negotiations to construct a Moscow Trump Tower, according to BuzzFeed, citing two federal law enforcement officials who leaked the information.
Trump also supported a plan hatched by Cohen to visit Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign in order to personally meet Vladimir Putin to see if it would help get the project off the ground. "Make it happen," Trump allegedly told Cohen.
And even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia, the sources said Trump and his children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project. -BuzzFeed
According to BuzzFeed, Cohen told special counsel Robert Mueller that after the election, "Trump personally instructed him to lie" - by claiming that the Trump Tower Moscow negotiations had ended months before they actually had. The special counsel's office also allegedly learned about Trump's insructions to lie "through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents," which Cohen reportedly confirmed.
This revelation is not the first evidence to suggest the president may have attempted to obstruct the FBI and special counsel investigations into Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
But Cohen's testimony marks a significant new frontier: It is the first known example of Trump explicitly telling a subordinate to lie directly about his own dealings with Russia. -BuzzFeed

>WASHINGTON, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for U.S. President Donald Trump, said on Thursday he paid a firm to manipulate online polling data "at the direction of and for the sole benefit of" Trump.
>The Wall Street Journal reported that Cohen had paid the data firm Redfinch Solutions to manipulate two public opinion polls in favor of Trump before the 2016 presidential campaign.
>"As for the @WSJ article on poll rigging," Cohen said on Twitter on Thursday, "what I did was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of @realDonaldTrump @POTUS. I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn't deserve it."

Michael Cohen Admits He Paid to Rig Drudge Polls - SO DID TED CRUZ CAMPAIGN
Today's non-scandal-
Former Trump Attorney Michael Cohen says he paid off John Guager from Liberty University to rig the Drudge Report polls in the 2016 primary.
Online rigged polls is nothing new in politics.
Democrats are masters of this tactic and are notorious for using bogus polling to stifle voter turnout.
Trump should probably hire Mr. Guager in 2020.
He gets results.
It should also be noted that ALL OF THE VOTER ENTHUSIASM was with Trump in 2016.
This is not a surprise.
The Wall Street Journal reported:
In early 2015, a man who runs a small technology company showed up at Trump Tower to collect $50,000 for having helped Michael Cohen, then Donald Trump's personal lawyer, try to rig online polls in his boss's favor before the presidential campaign.
In his Trump Organization office, Mr. Cohen surprised the man, John Gauger, by giving him a blue Walmart bag containing between $12,000 and $13,000 in cash and, randomly, a boxing glove that Mr. Cohen said had been worn by a Brazilian mixed-martial arts fighter, Mr. Gauger said.
Mr. Cohen disputed that he handed over a bag of cash. "All monies paid to Mr. Gauger were by check," he said, offering no further comment on his ties to the consultant.
Mr. Gauger owns RedFinch Solutions LLC and is chief information officer at Liberty University in Virginia, where Jerry Falwell Jr., an evangelical leader and fervent Trump supporter, is president.
For the record -The Cruz campaign also spammed the Drudge primary polls.
A Cruz supporter spammed the Drudge Report during the CNN GOP Debate in March 2016 to rig the popular website's online poll.
All of the Cruz spam came from Delaware.
Matt Drudge tweeted this out late last night.
The Cruz spam all came from Delaware. Trump clear win in all other states. #drudgepoll pic.twitter.com/CM8HxVP2nH

Here's a look at the numbers early Thursday night during the debate before the cheating was discovered.

Michael Cohen offered Liberty University CIO $50,000 to rig two online polls for Trump, report says

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump's former fixer and personal attorney Michael Cohen paid a technology expert to rig online polls in Trump's favor, according to The Wall Street Journal.
John Gauger, the owner of Red Finch Solutions and chief information officer at Liberty University, said Cohen offered him $50,000 to rig two online polls, the Journal reported Thursday, citing a government document and a person familiar with the matter.
Cohen handed Gauger a Walmart bag loaded with about $12,000 in cash during a 2015 meeting at Cohen's Trump Organization office, Gauger said. But he never paid him the remainder of the promised $50,000, the Journal said.
Cohen denied giving Gauger cash. "All monies paid to Mr. Gauger were by check," he said, according to the Journal.
Gauger did not appear to have much success at moving the needle in the polls he was paid to manipulate. In January 2014, Cohen asked Gauger to sway a CNBC online poll on the top American business leaders with a program that could vote for Trump repeatedly, the Journal report said. But Trump did not break into the top 100.
In February 2015, Cohen asked Gauger to boost Trump in a Drudge Report poll on potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates, according to Gauger. Trump ended up coming in fifth with 5 percent of the vote.
Cohen also asked Gauger to create a Twitter account with the handle @WomenForCohen that would be run by a female friend of Gauger's to portray Cohen as a "sex symbol" and hype his statements in favor of Trump's presidential campaign, the Journal reported. The account was created in May 2016 and remains active.
"We can't wait!!! You will do a fantastic job! You are amazing leader &speaker #ThanksDonald #AmericaFirst," reads a Dec. 28, 2016 tweet, the last one posted to the account. That tweet was in response to one from Cohen's announcing he would be an honoree at one of the pre-inaugural balls after Trump's election victory.

Q Research General #6087: Continue To Build The MAP Edition
Embattled acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker will testify before Congress on Feb. 8, setting up dual blockbuster hearings that week as House Democrats launch their much-awaited oversight into Donald Trump's presidency.
The House Judiciary Committee announced Tuesday that Whitaker will appear one day after Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, testifies before the House Oversight Committee. The two hearings, both made-for-TV moments, will almost certainly create a headache for the president as special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into his 2016 presidential campaign enters its 20th month.
Oversight Democrats are expected to ask Cohen about Trump's campaign-time payments to women alleging extramarital affairs with the president as well as his financial dealings with Russia. Judiciary Democrats will press Whitaker, once a fervent critic of special counsel Robert Mueller, about why he ignored ethics recommendations to recuse himself from the Russia probe.
Democrats have long suspected that Trump planted Whitaker at the department as a spy, someone delegated to undercutting the Mueller probe. They'll grill him on his interactions with Mueller as well as any information he passed on to Trump allies.
"Per our practice in hearings of this nature, the Committee will expect you to provide direct answers to questions asked by members of both parties," Nadler said in a Tuesday letter to Whitaker announcing the news. "If you plan to invoke executive privilege in an attempt to avoid answering any particular question, I ask that you consult with the White House well in advance of the hearing."
Whitaker's hearing, which will occur at 9:30 a.m. that morning, may be the first with a sitting administration official since Democrats took over the House on Jan. 3. Republicans have argued that Whitaker need not appear since his replacement, William Barr, will likely be confirmed by the Senate by then.
Depending on Barr's confirmation date, Whitaker may be former acting attorney general at the time he testifies.
House Democrats had hoped to haul Whitaker in this January. But the shutdown, combined with what Democrats view as Justice Department stonewalling, delayed that goal.
The acting attorney general had promised Democrats last fall to answer questions once they took control of the House. But in recent days, top Justice officials have cited the shutdown and a busy schedule for Whitaker as a reason he cannot commit to a date.
Nadler, however, threatened to subpoena Whitaker last week, pushing talks along and settling ultimately on Feb. 8.
Judiciary sources say Whitaker will appear even if the government is still shutdown. Justice officials had tried to argue that Whitaker could not testify while agencies were shuttered. But Nadler cited DOJ rules from the 1990s actually stating the contrary.
Whitaker's hearing comes as Nadler's panel is gearing up investigations on policy fonts as well, particularly immigration. On Monday, the committee asked Homeland Security, Justice and Health and Human Services departments to preserve all documents related to Trump's separation of immigrant families at the border last summer.
Nadler and more than 180 additional Democratic cosponsors also introduced the "Keeping Families Together Act of 2019," legislation barring Trump officials from separating children from their parents.
"As this new Congress begins, the House Judiciary Committee will make good on its promise to the American people to hold the Trump Administration accountable for the abhorrent family separation policy that ripped children from the arms of their parents," Nadler said. "These document requests, many of them sought for months, are just the start. We have already put the relevant agencies on notice that in the coming weeks we will schedule hearings in order to finally hold the Administration accountable for its policies and conduct.

Q Research General #6051: Discipline Edition
Top House Democrats warn Trump against interfering in Cohen testimony
The heads of three of the House's most influential committees sent out a stern warning to President Trump not to obstruct their efforts to question his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
Reps. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. and Elijah Cummings, D-Md. - the chairs respectively of the House Intelligence, Judiciary and Oversight committees - issued a joint statement Sunday following comments made by the president during a Fox News Channel interview in which he alleges potential legal problems involving a Cohen relative and takes digs at Cohen's honesty and own legal woes.
"Our nation's laws prohibit efforts to discourage, intimidate, or otherwise pressure a witness not to provide testimony to Congress," the Democratic lawmakers said in their statement.
Cohen is scheduled to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee next month. The hearing could serve as the opening salvo in a promised Democratic effort to greater scrutinize Trump, his conflicts of interest and his ties to Russia.
The House Oversight and Reform Committee announced Thursday that Cohen will testify before that panel Feb. 7, a little more than a month after the Democrats took the House majority.
The hearing marks the latest step in Cohen's transformation from a trusted legal adviser to the president to a public antagonist who has cooperated extensively against him. It is likely to pull back the curtain on key episodes involving Trump's personal life and business dealings, including hush-money payments to women and a proposed Moscow real estate deal that federal prosecutors have been dissecting for months.
Cohen has gone from being a trusted legal adviser to the president to a public antagonist who has cooperated extensively with prosecutors. That's led Trump to have called Cohen a "rat."
The president expanded on his sentiments toward his former lawyer during an interview on Fox News with Jeanine Pirro.
"I was a client of his and you're supposed to have lawyer-client privilege," Trump said. "But he's in trouble on some loans and frauds and taxi cabs and stuff I know nothing about, and in order to get his sentence reduced he says- 'I have an idea. I'll give some information on the president.'"
Trump added: "There is no information...He's trying to get his sentence reduced. So it's pretty sad. It's weak and it's a very sad to watch a thing like that. I couldn't care less."

Q Research General #6039: Cohen's Father In Law Edition
Cohen Father-in-law
Fima Shusterman business associate
Semyon "Sam" Shtayner, a longtime business associate of Michael Cohen's father-in-law, created Nevada-based Cannaboss LLC the day before the 2016 election
He personally manages over 500 taxi medallions, but he is looking to transition from the medallion business to the cannibas.
President Donald Trump's personal attorney, whose business dealings are being investigated by the FBI, and the lawyer's father-in-law have lent $26 million in recent years to a taxi mogul who is shifting into the legalized marijuana industry, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Semyon "Sam" Shtayner, a longtime business associate of Michael Cohen's father-in-law, created Nevada-based Cannaboss LLC the day before the 2016 election. A few months later, he took a majority position in a company that is provisionally licensed to cultivate medicinal marijuana and produce edibles, the records show.
"He personally manages over 500 taxi medallions, but he is looking to transition from the medallion business to the cannibas (sic)," according to the personal narrative Shtayner submitted last October to city officials in Henderson, Nevada, that was obtained by the AP under the state's public records law.
It's not clear whether Shtayner used any of the loans - $6 million of which have come directly from Cohen since 2014 - to finance his grow operation.
Earlier this month, FBI agents searched Cohen's hotel, office and home seeking banking records, as well as records related to his dealings in the taxi industry, people familiar with the probe told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.
Public records show the Ukraine-born Shtayner, 63, his wife and companies they control have used their properties in Chicago and Sunny Isles, Florida, as collateral for the loans from Cohen and his father-in-law, Fima Shusterman.
Neither Cohen nor his attorney responded to phone messages or an email seeking comment about the loans.
An attorney representing Shtayner in his Nevada marijuana ventures told the AP his client had no comment.
Reached on his cellphone, Shusterman declined to discuss his loans or Shtayner.
Marijuana use is fully legal in Nevada, seven other states and Washington, D.C., and 38 states allow medicinal or other limited uses.
It was not clear why Shtayner has decided to move out of taxis and into the grow business. But the rapid rise of ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Lyft has disrupted the taxi industry, and Shtayner is among a handful of prominent taxi owners who face lawsuits from creditors who once lent liberally to medallion owners.
The value of medallions - the physical plates affixed to cabs that owners are required to display - have dropped precipitously in recent years from highs of over $1 million apiece in New York just a few years ago to nearly half that amount today.
The subsequent drop has left many taxi medallion owners overleveraged.
One former Cohen business partner, who managed Cohen's taxis for years, is accused in a lawsuit by creditors of hiding his assets in financial disclosures to his bank - including a luxury apartment in a Trump skyscraper.
Another former cab manager of Cohen's has declared bankruptcy and is facing criminal charges from state prosecutors in New York, who accuse him of pocketing nearly $5 million in taxes.
The business relationship among Cohen, Shusterman and Shtayner stretches back years. Property records in New York show that Shtayner and Shusterman were among the investors in an upper Manhattan taxi garage and auto repair shop in the 1990s.
Last August, Shusterman lent at least $12 million against properties owned by Shtayner, his wife or their companies, Chicago real estate records show. In a second series of four transactions in March, Shusterman lent the Shtayners or their companies an additional $8 million.
Four of the loans were made to Shtayner's wife, Yasya, and four others were directed to two Chicago taxi companies she manages, according to corporate documents. The Chicago Sun-Times first reported those transactions.
Cohen has been involved in the New York City yellow cab industry since the 1990s. He has a fleet of 22 cabs in Chicago and, along with his wife and father-in-law, has owned some 30 medallions in New York after initially going into business with his father-in-law, records show.

Cohen's father-in-law loaned $20M to cab mogul who was in FBI warrant: report
The father-in-law of President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, has reportedly loaned $20 million to the wife of a Chicago cab mogul who was identified in the warrant the FBI used to raid Cohen's office, hotel room and home.
The Chicago Sun Times reported Cohen's father-in-law, Fima Shusterman, has given the money in loans over the past eight months to Yasya Shtayner, whose family owns Chicago Medallion Management Corp.
Cohen owns 22 of the 368 taxicabs managed by the company, according to the Sun Times. According to the Sun Times, Shusterman gave eight loans to Shtayner.
Shtayner and her husband, who serves as the company's corporate secretary, were reportedly named in a warrant obtained by the FBI for the Cohen raid.
The Sun Times previously reported that the FBI agents were looking for information about connections Cohen has to Shtayner and her husband, who are both immigrants from Ukraine.
Cohen is reportedly under investigation for bank fraud and campaign finance law violations.
Shtayner, her husband and their sons are also facing a separate lawsuit from a federal credit union operated by the League of Mutual Taxi Owners in New York. The federal credit union sued in an effort to collect a loan of about $3.5 million, according to the Sun Times.
Shusterman, who owns a condo in Trump World Tower in New York City, in 1993 pleaded guilty to federal income-tax fraud regarding the taxicab business he owns in New York.
In the Cohen raid earlier this month, agents reportedly seized bank records, communications between Cohen and Trump, and documents related to payments to two women who alleged they had an affair with the president more than a decade ago.
Prosecutors in Manhattan obtained the search warrants "in part" based on the referral from special counsel Robert Mueller's office, which prompted Trump to launch a series of attacks on Mueller and his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, on Thursday criticized news that President Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen is set to publicly testify before the panel next month.
Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said in a statement earlier Thursday that Cohen had agreed to voluntarily testify on Feb. 7.

Q Research General #5996: Law Enforcement Wants The Wall Edition
Michael Cohen to testify in public before House panel
Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer and "fixer" for President Trump, will testify in an open setting before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee next month. The high-profile hearing is voluntary, and it will come come roughly a month before he heads to prison to serve a three-year prison sentence on March 6.
In December, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in a hush-money scandal. Apologizing in federal court in Manhattan, he said he took "full responsibility for each act that I plead guilty to: the personal ones to me and those involving the President of the United States of America." The sentence came after he was charged by both federal prosecutors in New York, as well as special counsel Robert Mueller. In August, Cohen first pleaded guilty to eight charges of bank and tax fraud, as well as campaign finance violations. In doing so, he implicated Trump. For those violations, he will serve 36 months. Then in November, Mueller's office charged him in a separate case with lying to Congress, for which he will serve two months for pleading guilty to that single count. Cohen will serve the two sentences concurrently.
Cohen, 52, said Thursday that he will give "a full and credible account of the events that have transpired." "In furtherance of my commitment to cooperate and provide the American people with answers, I have accepted the invitation by Chairman Elijah Cummings to appear publicly on February 7," Cohen said in a statement. "I look forward to having the privilege of being afforded a platform with which to give a full and credible account of the events which have transpired." It is not clear when Cummings formally issued an invitation to Cohen to testify.
On Thursday, Cummings said he was "in the process of consulting" with Mueller's office, and the committee "will announce additional information in the coming weeks." "I want to make clear that we have no interest in inappropriately interfering with any ongoing criminal investigations," Cummings said in a statement. Cummings and other Democrats promised they would use their new oversight powers to investigate the White House and those associated with President Trump.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said he welcomes Cohen's testimony before the Oversight panel, but that "[i]t will be necessary, however, for Mr. Cohen to answer questions pertaining to the Russia investigation, and we hope to schedule a closed session before our committee in the near future." It was also not immediately clear if Cohen will appear publicly or privately before any other congressional committees before the Feb. 7 hearing. The public testimony will likely enrage Trump, who has already called him a "rat" for cooperating with federal investigators, and sought to distance himself from the man who once said he would take a bullet for the president.

Q Research General #5995: Happy Birthday Jared Kushner Edition
Michael Cohen To Testify Publicly Before Congress About "Work For Trump"
Setting the stage for another circus-like public hearing the likes of which haven't been seen on Capitol Hill since James Comey's testimony in the spring of 2017, disgraced former Trump attorney Michael Cohen has agreed to "give a full and credible" account of his work for President Trump before the House next month, the New York Times reported.
While we think "credible" is a stretch (if Cohen's own admission of guilt is to be believed), the former Trump Organization attorney pleaded guilty in august to charges of tax fraud, lying to Congress and campaign finance violations stemming from two payoffs he claims he arranged to two women who were threatening to share stories about their affairs with Trump.

Q Research General #5980: Nancy's logic goes Bye Bye Edition
President Trump will not answer any more questions from Mueller: Giuliani
(Reuters) - Lawyers for U.S. President Donald Trump have told special counsel Robert Mueller that he will not answer any more questions in the probe of Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Reuters on Wednesday. Trump submitted written answers to questions from Mueller in late November. In an interview with Reuters, Giuliani said Mueller raised the possibility of follow-up questions but that the president's outside legal team told the special counsel before Christmas that Trump would not respond.
Trump's lawyers and Mueller's team have had no contact since then, Giuliani said. "As far as we're concerned, everything is over," Giuliani told Reuters. "We weren't convinced they had any questions they don't know the answer to." Giuliani said the ball was now in the special counsel's court. "They could try to subpoena him if they want," he said. "But they know we could fight that like hell." Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, declined to comment.
U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to try to help Trump win. Trump has denied any collusion with Moscow and Russia has said it did not meddle in the election.
Mueller was appointed in May 2017 to investigate the Russian interference and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. It is unclear when the probe, which has clouded Trump's first two years in office, will end. Trump answered Mueller's campaign-related questions focused on Russia in November. However, Giuliani told Reuters at the time, he would not answer questions on whether he tried to obstruct the investigation once he won office, such as by firing former FBI Director James Comey. In his latest interview, the president's lawyer said it was time for the special counsel to issue his report. "Put up or shut up," Giuliani said. "We challenge you to do it." When Mueller ends his investigation, he will send a report on his findings to the Justice Department. It is unclear if the report will be made public.
Since at least last summer, Trump's legal team has been drafting a rebuttal in preparation for Mueller's report. Giuliani said the team also was ready to respond to legal issues raised by the hush money paid to an adult film star and a former Playboy playmate before the 2016 election. Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was sentenced last month to three years in prison for crimes including orchestrating the payments in violation of campaign finance laws. When he pleaded guilty, Cohen said he was directed by Trump.
"We have a memo from a number of campaign finance experts that paying what they call hush money, since it has a personal purpose, is not considered a campaign contribution," Giuliani said. "Therefore it's not a violation of the campaign finance law." Giuliani said it is unclear to the legal team whether acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is now in charge of the investigation. Rosenstein, who is preparing to leave his job soon after attorney general nominee William Barr takes office, has overseen the Mueller probe since former Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself in 2017.

Q Research General #5971: Goodbye [RR] Edition
Here is the Daily Mail's story on RR.
They also had a picture of Barr,
William Barr's Senate confirmation hearing begins January 15
Rosenstein out! Deputy AG who oversaw Mueller probe and clashed with Trump will leave Justice Department once new attorney general is confirmed
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is planning to leave the Justice Department after William Barr is confirmed as the new attorney general
Rosenstein and President Trump have clashed over Robert Mueller's probe
But Rosenstein is leaving voluntarily and not being forced out
Rosenstein oversaw Mueller's Russia probe and appointed him special counsel
Barr's confirmation hearing begins Jan. 15; he could be confirmed in February
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will leave the Justice Department after William Barr, President Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, is confirmed, it was revealed on Wednesday.
There is no indication he is being forced out by the president, with whom he has clashed in the past, ABC News reported.
Rosenstein, who became deputy attorney general at the start of Trump's tenure, long planned to only serve two years, NBC News reported.
Rosenstein oversaw special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russia's influence on the 2016 election and was often a target of Trump's anger over the probe.
He has been on the brink of an exit before, notably in September when he and Trump clashed after a report that Rosenstein secretly recorded Trump and was looking at invoking the 25th amendment to remove him from office.
But Mueller's probe was at the heart of the disagreement between the two men.
It was Rosenstein who appointed Mueller as special counsel after then-Attorney Feneral Jeff Session recused himself from overseeing the investigation.
The deputy attorney general was thought to leave after Sessions exited the top job at Justice last year but he stayed on while Matt Whittaker acted as acting attorney general.
Barr's Senate confirmation hearing begins January 15, which means a confirmation vote at the earliest would take place in mid-February.
If confirmed, Barr would oversee Mueller's investigation although Rosenstein is apparently still handling some of the day-to-day matters in regards to the probe.
In September, Rosenstein was the subject of intense speculation over his fate.
There was one chaotic day were reports had Rosenstein in route to the White House to be fired only he ended up being there for a routine Cabinet meeting.
The pandemonium was the result of reports Rosenstein wore a 'wire' to record conversations with President Trump and recruited Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office.
Rosenstein denied the allegations and several of his supporters said his 'wire' comment was a joke.
Trump met with Rosenstein shortly after the incident and said he had no plans to fire him.
The president was also furious with Rosenstein in April when the deputy attorney general approved the FBI raid on Michael Cohen, who was then Trump's personal attorney.
The results of that raid helped bring about Cohen's conviction on eight counts of campaign finance violations, tax fraud, and bank fraud. He later pled guilty to lying to Congress and has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Q Research General #5952: Worldwide Cure Edition
Rep. Adam B. Schiff expressed concern Monday that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III might decline to look into President Trump's private business dealings as he investigates Russia's interference in America's 2016 election.
As a result, the Burbank congressman said, it could be up to Democrats who took control of the House last week to expose the full scope of alleged wrongdoing by Trump and his allies, Schiff told the Los Angeles Times editorial board.
Schiff, a Democrat who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, cited the revelation by Michael Cohen, the president's former personal lawyer, that Trump was actively pursuing a deal to build a skyscraper in Moscow during the 2016 campaign even while denying doing business with Russia.
"Now, the Russians knew this was happening, which makes it very compromising, because the Russians could expose it," Schiff said.
"Anyone who engaged in anything like that, anything remotely like that, would never get a security clearance, but this is the president of the United States," he added. "If the financial entanglement goes beyond that, and includes money laundering and criminal activity that the Russians could expose at a time and place of their choosing, that's compromising."
Schiff said he suspects that "Mueller may not be looking at this, which concerns me, because it means that up until now no one has looked at this."
Schiff cited a New York Times story last April that Trump was ready to fire Mueller after an erroneous report that the special counsel had subpoenaed Deutsche Bank records on his real estate business. The White House, he said, might be forcing Mueller to steer clear of his private finances.
"I don't know whether the Justice Department is maintaining that red line that the president decided to draw," he said. "If they are, then we'll be the only people, the only investigation of that thus far, our committee and any other committee in Congress that looks at that issue."
Mueller's function is to see who broke the law and deserves to go to jail, not to tell the country what happened, Schiff said.
Schiff also signaled that if Mueller releases a report implicating Trump in criminal wrongdoing, House Democratic leaders were not inclined to impeach Trump if it appears the Republicans who control the Senate will refuse to convict him and remove him from office.
In his former job as a federal prosecutor, he said, "it was not our tradition or habit or policy to indict people that we did not believe we could prove guilty in trial and convict merely to put them through the process of a trial or to expose wrongdoing if we couldn't persuade a jury beyond a reasonable doubt."
"I think the same is true in impeachment - that it's a tremendously wrenching thing to put a country through, and it obviously has a deeply disruptive impact on the running of the government ... and there are ordinary mechanisms to remove a president at the ballot box, and so to depart from that, you need a powerful reason, and I don't think you undertake that process unless you have some expectation that it's going to be successful."

Q Research General #5886: A Fine Day To Read The Map Edition
Democrats lay impeachment trap, but will the president step into it?
Democrats now have the chance to see if they can trigger an impeachable offense by hitting Trump across a broad range of subjects, including his tightly held business and tax records. Hammered by subpoenas and demands, they are hoping that the unpredictable Trump could commit an impulsive and destructive act. Consider just a few possible "scores" that this strategy could produce if Trump walks into an impeachment trap.
First, firing frenzy. The biggest score would be a frustrated Trump ordering the firing of Mueller. Trump could be faced by not one but multiple special counsel reports in 2019, as well as ongoing litigation against indicted individuals. If reports are correct, he repeatedly has raised the idea of firing Mueller. That would cross a red line for some Republican senators and add "official acts" to an alleged pattern of obstruction.
Second, false statements. Unlike former President Clinton, who knowingly lied under oath (and was later found by a federal court to have committed perjury), Trump has not spoken under oath and only given limited answers in writing to a few questions from the special counsel. Now, Congress will be demanding answers not just from Trump but from his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and others in the White House. Lying to congressional investigators is a crime. If Trump tries to spin facts or gives false information, he would commit an impeachable offense.
Third, witness tampering. Equally dangerous is an allegation of shaping or inducing testimony. Trump has shown a continuing refusal to observe lines of separation from the investigation. Just recently, a report alleged that he called acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to complain about the New York prosecutors pursuing campaign finance violations. If he speaks with potential witnesses about their knowledge or accounts, it could be construed as influencing witnesses or even subornation of perjury. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, confessed to false statements and suggested the statements were made with Trump's knowledge.
Other potential criminal acts relate to the withholding of documents or acts that could constitute contempt of Congress. Of course, this strategy will fail if Trump maintains simple restraint and leaves congressional and special counsel investigations to his own legal counsel. Congressional demands often raise separation-of-powers issues that can lead to litigation and delay. While Congress may not like it, it is very difficult to convert such constitutional objections into obstruction.
That, however, depends on the proper assertion of privileges. If the president interjects himself into the mix, the rationale - and the defense - can be compromised or lost. The scope and subject matter of these inquiries make for an obvious trap for Trump. This is why an aphorism like "you can't impeach somebody that's doing a great job" can be dangerous. Even if true to some degree on a political level, it also is true that a president can do a "great job" of getting himself impeached - if he walks into the world's most obvious impeachment trap.

Mossad lackeys like Corsi (pic related) were pushing QAnon for a long time until the walls started closing in from the actual investigation.. (Roger stone, alex jonesstein, and others will also be going to prison). Although Q is distancing himself, Q and Corsi were likely very much working in unican.
You'll also notice Q change his tune. Q trashed Mueller in the past and made it seem like he was going… then when we find out Flynn flipped and is working with Mueller (and we know he didnt flip on Trump), Q once again changed his tone with Sessions gone, it went back to Mueller being the guy to bring it all down (which is true, but Q doesnt want to admit this because Mueller is going after big guys like George Nader, John Podesta, and co… not to mention folks in the media through the recordings of Michael Cohen.
TLDR:

Trump's attorney: 'Damn right, there will be a Giuliani report'
Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's attorney, vowed he would be ready to counter the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. In an appearance on Fox News, the former New York City mayor said that he will offer his own take on Mueller's results. "It ends when he files his report and we can answer it. Whatever garbage he hands in, we're ready to respond to it," he told host Sean Hannity.
When asked, Giuliani said he will offer his own report. "Damn right, there will be a Giuliani report. Our report will be the definitive report, because it will be the truth. The president did nothing wrong," he said.
Giuliani also reiterated his position that Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections is an "illegitimate attempt" to go after the president. "This is an investigation in search of a crime and they haven't found one yet. Collusion is not a crime. It's not a crime," Giuliani said, repeating an assertion he has made previously and the president has echoed.
Mueller's investigation has so far snared several former Trump staffers, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his deputy Rick Gates, Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen, and former campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, for crimes ranging from lying to federal investigators to campaign finance violations.

Q Research General #5849: Binders Full of Pepes Edition
Dems move to protect Mueller in new Congress
Incoming House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) on Thursday led a group of Democrats in introducing a bill designed to protect special counsel Robert Mueller from being fired by President Trump.
The legislation reflects growing fears among the president's critics that he could try to impede Mueller's investigation into whether his campaign coordinated with Moscow to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Trump has increasingly castigated the investigation as an "illegal" partisan-led witch hunt that he wants ended.
The bill, formally known as the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act, would codify existing Justice Department regulations that say a special counsel can only be removed for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest or other good cause. The legislation would also give the special counsel written notice of his or her removal and the opportunity to challenge the move in court.
It is unlikely, however, that the GOP-controlled Senate will take up the bill or a similar one. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) repeatedly blocked legislation protecting the special counsel from reaching the Senate floor late last year after Trump ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions and replaced him with Matthew Whitaker, a Mueller critic, as acting attorney general.
McConnell has argued the bill is unnecessary because he doesn't believe Trump will look to fire Mueller.
Nadler, along withe Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), introduced the legislation on the first day of the new Congress as Democrats took the helm of the House of Representatives.
In a joint statement, the lawmakers warned of the "questionable" intentions of Whitaker and described the legislation as crucial to ensuring the investigation continues unimpeded.
"As the Special Counsel announces new indictments and guilty pleas from Trump's closest allies and associates, it's clear that the threat to the Mueller investigation will only grow stronger," the Democratic lawmakers said. "Democrats and Republicans in Congress have mentioned their support for the inquiry to continue unimpeded. Now is the time for Congress to finally act and pass this legislation to protect the integrity of the Special Counsel's investigation and the rule of law."
Nadler and other Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee introduced similar legislation back in April, following the federal raid on the office and hotel room of Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney. The bill had little chance of passing in the previous Congress, when Republicans had control over the House.

Sequencing the Resistance Process Through Likely Legislative Action - Tools: Cohen, Mueller, Horowitz
Anons, this is a great piece from TCH on what the Left's playbook might be in Q1 of 2019. It's definitely worth a read and a share, although I don't agree with everything, it's a great rundown.
The first event is the congressional use of Michael Cohen for a series of public committee hearings. [Oversight (Elijah Cummings) and possibly -though less likely- Judiciary (Nadler) and HPSCI (Schiff)] This likely has to happen before March 6th, 2019, when Cohen is scheduled to enter federal prison. It's almost certain Cohen's incarceration deferment contains the unwritten agreement to appear. [Democrat leadership almost certainly coordinated this plan with team Mueller and the SDNY some time ago.]
The second event is the release of the Team Mueller political report which, despite its inability to find criminal wrongdoing, will most certainly be written with highly charged innuendo as damaging to President Trump as possible. The release of this report will absolutely fuel several public committee hearings [Oversight/Reform (Cummings), HPSCI (Schiff) and Judiciary (Nadler)] without any doubt.
The third event is the release of the OIG Horowitz report on possible FISA abuse. Due to the nature of Mueller's proprietary investigative blackout (Horowitz not allowed to see investigative material or witnesses with Mueller probe ongoing), the Horowitz report will likely come out *after* Mueller.
?Key Committee Structure - The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) will likely be Chairman Adam Schiff and ranking member Devin Nunes. The House Judiciary Committee will be Chaired by Jerry Nadler and ranking member Doug Collins. The House Oversight and Reform Committee will be Chairman Elijah Cummings and ranking member Jim Jordan.
?Gang of Eight (IC Oversight) - The Go8 line-up will be radically different in 2019 and far more adversarial to the executive branch. Ranked by influence over IC:
Nancy Pelosi (D) - Speaker of House.
Adam Schiff (D) - Chair, HPSCI
Senator Mitch McConnell (R) - Senate Majority Leader
Senator Richard Burr (R) - Chair, SSCI
Kevin McCarthy (R) - Minority Leader House.
Senator Chuck Schumer (D) - Senate Minority Leader
Devin Nunes (R) - Ranking Member HPSCI
Senator Mark Warner (D) - Vice Chair, SSCI
?The Broad Political Alliances - Overlaying the DC political alliances within the intelligence community Gang of Eight you see a resistance ratio of 7:1 against the executive branch.
Pelosi, Schiff, McConnell, Burr, McCarthy, Schumer and Warner all allied with the overall UniParty resistance objective; and only Devin Nunes as an ally to the White House. That's a ration of 7:1 in favor of "The DC Resistance" against the Executive Branch.

Michael Cohen Report Is Based On Third-Hand Information, Reporter Reveals
11:21 AM 12/28/2018 | Politics | Chuck Ross | Reporter
McClatchy reported Thursday that foreign intelligence exists placing former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen in Prague during the 2016 campaign, as is alleged in the infamous Steele dossier.
But the story is coming under scrutiny after Cohen directly denied the report. Other news outlets have been unable to corroborate the bombshell report.
One of the reporters who worked on the story, Greg Gordon, has shed light on the reporting. In an interview with MSNBC, he acknowledged that he and his sources did not directly see the underlying intelligence cited in the report.
The reporters who broke a potentially bombshell story claiming evidence that Michael Cohen visited Prague during the 2016 presidential campaign did not see for themselves some of the underlying intelligence cited in their report, one of the journalists who wrote the story revealed Thursday.
In an interview on MSNBC, Greg Gordon said that he and his McClatchy colleague, Peter Stone, did not physically see cell tower records and intelligence intercepts that they claim placed Cohen in Prague in summer 2016.
Gordon also suggested that the four anonymous sources he and Stone cite in their article also did not see the intelligence for themselves, meaning that the report is based on third-hand information.
"Is there anything that you were able to physically see for yourselves?" MSNBC host Joy Reid asked Gordon.
"I wish we had. We held out for a while for that, and it came a time when we thought we had a critical mass. It is a competitive business," Gordon said.
"Some of the sources have government sources, and some of the sources are people who have told us that they have trusted intelligence-type sources that they get information from. We don't know the specifics, but we have used these sources on many subjects, and they have been very accurate," Gordon added.
When asked if he has seen the intercepts, Gordon responded, "No."
He said that his sources were told that the intercepts exist.
Earlier on Thursday, Gordon and Stone reported that electronic records show that Cohen's cell phone pinged a tower in Prague in the summer of 2016, around the same time the Steele dossier claims that Cohen was in the European city to meet with a group of Kremlin insiders.
Gordon and Stone also reported that an Eastern European intelligence agency picked up chatter from a Russian government official who claimed that Cohen was in Prague. The information has been provided to special counsel Robert Mueller, McClatchy reported.
If true, the McClatchy report would significantly bolster the dossier, which alleges a massive conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian government to influence the 2016 election. According to Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier, Cohen visited Prague to meet with Kremlin officials to arrange payments to Russian hackers. (RELATED: Michael Cohen Disputes Report Claiming Prague Visit)
Cohen has denied the dossier's claims ever since BuzzFeed published the document on Jan. 10, 2017. He continued publicly denying the report up until late June, around the time that the former Trump fixer began cooperating with federal prosecutors in the various cases against him.
Since then, Cohen's attorney-turned-adviser, Lanny Davis, has publicly disputed the dossier on Cohen's behalf.

There it says that Cohen - in addition to his prison sentence - also has to repay $ 500,000.
In clause 3, Judge William Pauley makes sure that the money goes to the right-wing address: "US Attorney's Office for the District of New York South, Department of Money Laundering and Organized Crime."
This is not a spelling mistake. The case Cohen, file number 18 Cr. 602 (WHP), was overseen by the legendary Mafia Department of the New York Procuratorate. That tells you all about Cohen, whom they called Trump's Consigliere. And about his then boss, whose "dirty things" Cohen wants to have plastered - the US president.
US justice treats Donald Trump and his oracle like a criminal union, only without the murders. Patiently, the investigators dig themselves into the circle of power, from outside to inside, convict first small, then bigger and bigger gangsters, make them witnesses of the indictment, and in the end, according to the plan, maybe catch the biggest gangster.
A total of 17 preliminary investigations revolve around Trump, it is about money laundering, corruption, fraud, tax evasion - all criminal offenses that mafiosi were often fatal.
More and more Americans are beginning to think that they are being ruled by a man who, for once to say the least, surrounded himself for decades with crooks, rogues, and demi-monsters. That they somehow sensed this, if they did not know, but overlooked it. That they are all accomplices.
Which domino tilts next?
Trump's family, Trump's friends, Trump's company, everyone is entangled in the net. And almost everyone "cooperates", hardly the charge is delivered. Cohen, ex-security advisor Mike Flynn, ex-campaign chief Paul Manafort, ex-vice-election chief Rick Gates, ex-campaign advisor George Papadopoulos: Which domino tilts next?
From outside to inside, from bottom to top: insiders speak of the "Rico screenplay". "Rico" stands for Racketeer's Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, a US law from 1970, which made it easier to roll up complex criminal gangs by equally hard-hitting all members. Just Unterlings, so that the chat - "flipping".
This tactic has been proven in years of fighting against the Mafia and its US outposts. So they grabbed about John Gotti, the boss of the New York Gambino family, who was delivered by his hangman Sammy Gravano to the blade. "Rat" is called one like Gravano in mafia slang. "Rat!", Trump now rages over Cohen.
Procedure according to the "Rico-script"
Incidentally, the prosecutor, who put Gotti behind bars, was Robert Mueller. As a mafia investigator and later as a longtime FBI boss, Mueller learned the "Rico script" inside out. No wonder that the procedures that he is now initiating as Russia Special Investigator follow the same script. "Mueller did it his damn life," a former FBI agent told Vanity Fair magazine. "He digs through the layers until he finds the truth."
Can that be a coincidence? Is this really a "witch hunt"? Are those who plead guilty innocent victims of a conspiracy?
Trump calls them either heroes or "rats". That depends on what he has to fear from their confessions.
Michael Cohen, who interacted with gangsters from Russia and Ukraine and knows Trump's most secret secrets, spent 70 hours in interrogation with Mueller as a key witness. So for Trump, he is a "rat", to whom he publicly wished the maximum sentence to the neck.
Trump's ex-campaign boss Paul Manafort, on the other hand, who faces imprisonment for life, is a "good person", as he seems to have said only hesitantly so far. And his ex-security advisor Mike Flynn called Trump "good luck in court" - before the judge Flynn condemned to sing for another three months about his illegal Russia contacts.
Hair-raising interventions in the judiciary
Trump's tweets are not just hair-raising interventions in the judiciary. They could be signals that no mercy is due to those who unpack - but to those who are silent, possibly a presidential pardon. This loyalty vow also applies in the Mafia: who sings, dies.
The New York Procuratorate does not mind that. Many of her investigators later became Ju

Cohen Prague Visit Confirmed, Verifying Part of Steele Dossier: McClatchy
WASHINGTON - A cellphone owned by Michael Cohen, former attorney for U.S. President Donald Trump, was traced to the Prague area in Czechia in the late summer of 2016, supporting the Steele dossier's claims that Cohen met secretly with Russian officials, investigative journalists at McClatchy reported on Thursday.
The report cited four anonymous individuals that gathered their information independently, and two who found that at the same period Cohen pinged the towers in 2016, a nearby intelligence agency heard Russians remark that the lawyer was in Prague.
The new information from McClatchy, previously unreported, gives further legitimacy to the dossier on the Russia-Trump relationship Christopher Steele wrote on in the dossier, which made headlines in January 2017 when Buzzfeed published the document in its entirety.
Trump has dismissed the dossier, a file that includes unverified allegations that Russia has leverage over Trump and described purported coordination between Trump's presidential campaign and Russia's election meddling operation.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller, charged with investigating the Russian interference and alleged collusion, has in his possession the intelligence reported by McClatchy, according to the sources.
McClatchy reported in April 2018 that Mueller had obtained evidence Cohen traveled to Prague from Germany in late August or early September of 2016, but it could not be learned how that information was gleaned, the article says.
The new intelligence, while not a "smoking gun" in any way, further adds to the growing evidence that the dossier, and the Russian collusion allegations at large, have at least partial truth in the public space.
Liberal collusion observer Seth Abramson, who wrote a book detailing the connections that attempted to confirm collusion, said that "it's a good day to be running a Twitter feed based broadly on the accuracy of the Steele dossier".
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller's office, declined to comment about the electronic evidence, McClatchy said.
Cohen has veered from disclosing information about the Mueller probe, to avoid compromising the investigation, and did not respond to a request for comment. He has in the past denied ever travelling to Prague around the time of the cell pings.
The former Trump "fixer" served as Trump lawyer for around a decade and into the White House before he was largely cut off when we appeared to drop his loyalty to Trump and cooperate with Mueller.
Cohen has been cooperating with Mueller's investigation since he pleaded guilty on Aug. 21 to charges of bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance law violations, and later said he was guilt of one count of lying to Congress.
Cohen was sentenced to three years in jail on Dec. 12, but is working with the probe ahead of starting his sentence, scheduled for March 2019. The former lawyer could possibly receive a shorter prison time for continued assistance to the Mueller investigation.

The reasons for his removal weren't immediately clear. Under Justice Department policy, a US attorney cannot remove him or herself from a case. That decision is made by a senior Justice Department official in consultation with its general counsel's office, usually when a US attorney has a potential conflict of interest or a question about impartiality may arise.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mccain-associate-gave-unverified-steele-dossier-to-buzzfeed-court-filing-says
An associate of the late Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain shared with Buzzfeed News a copy of the unverified, salacious opposition research dossier alleging that Russians had compromising material on President Trump, according to a bombshell federal court filing Wednesday.
McCain had strenuously denied being the source for Buzzfeed after it published the dossier, which was funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. In recent days, the dossier's credibility has increasingly come under question, as the Yahoo News investigative reporter who broke news of its existence said many of its claims were "likely false," and an adviser to ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen said Cohen never went to Prague to pay off Russian hackers, as alleged in the dossier.
Nevertheless, the FBI extensively relied on the dossier in its warrant applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court in seeking to surveil Trump aide Carter Page. On four occasions, the FBI also incorrectly suggested to the FISA court that the Yahoo reporter, Michael Isikoff, had written an article that provided an independent basis to surveil Page – even though London court records revealed Isikoff was, in fact, relying on the leaks from the dossier's author. (Page, who has not been charged with wrongdoing, is now suing the DNC for defamation.)
Earlier this year, Fox News reported that a top McCain associate, David Kramer, had been briefed on the dossier written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele in late November 2016 in Surrey, England. Kramer invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to avoid testifying before House Republicans about his handling of the dossier.

On June 7, 2011, Clinton received classified information on her non-secure email account from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, which Blair also forwarded to Jake Sullivan, about Blair's Middle East negotiations with Israel, the Palestinians and the French
On January 26, 2010, Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan sent classified information via his unsecure Blackberry to Huma Abedin's State Department email account that he'd earlier sent to Clinton's and Abedin's non-secure @clintonemail.com email accounts about U.K. negotiations with Northern Ireland.
On October 28, 2010, Clinton exchanges information with her friend Marty Torrey - a congressional aide - who asks Clinton in an email if she would advise that Torrey meet with former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. Clinton responds through her non-secure email account approving the meeting and notes that she is emailing him from Hanoi, Vietnam.
An email chain dated April 8, 2010, which contains a memo from Sid Blumenthal to Hillary Clinton related to the change of government in Kyrgyzstan, contains information classified "confidential" and is redacted as "foreign government information" and "foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources." Blumenthal urges Clinton to "develop relations" with the new government in Kyrgyzstan.
All of this suggests to me the necessity for the State Department to assert itself and take the lead in developing relations with the new government.
A January 26, 2010, email to Hillary Clinton from her deputy chief of staff, Jake Sullivan, is classified "confidential" and contains a "call sheet" that Clinton received prior to placing a call to Northern Ireland political leaders. It appears that the redacted portions contain the names of particular members of Sinn Fein who were invited to a particular meeting and the expectations of either themselves or other foreign ministers for the outcomes of that meeting.
A June 13, 2009, email to Clinton from Sullivan with the subject line "Northern Ireland" is classified "confidential" and nearly completely redacted. The particular subject details are unclear.
Abedin emails Clinton about "Invites for the week" in an undated email (but apparently written before November 1, 2011, the day Clinton's mother died, because her mother is one of the invitees - probably written in early 2009, based on the period most of these emails seem to have been written), and notes that she (Clinton) has a "George Soros lunch from 1-3 in Southampton."
On October 20, 2010, lawyer Lanny Davis writes Clinton an email saying, "Thank you H for who you are and what you do," followed in the exchange by another with "PS. I swear you look younger and better every time I see you, Good night dear Hillary. Lanny." Mr. Davis is currently a lawyer for Michael Cohen.
In an undated email, Blumenthal emails Clinton about State Department management issues suggests that Joseph C. Wilson "should be spoken with for his view of dept, personnel...is shrewd." Wilson is a former ambassador to Gabon who went on to become an Africa consultant and deal-maker.

Trump is totally unbowed by the weight of the presidency
The office of the president of the United States is known for wearing down the mere mortals who hold it. At the very least, it prematurely ages its occupants.
Often, it humiliates them, forcing them to rehabilitate their reputations later (Jimmy Carter and the late George H.W. Bush). In the worst cases, it chews them up and spits them out (Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon).
It is a journalistic trope that this is happening to President Trump before our eyes. The media constantly write stories about how the president is panicked and cornered, barely able to handle his duties, as the walls perpetually "close in."
But as far as any outside observer can tell, he's as ebullient and combative as ever, and has never blinked, no matter how intense the pressure of any given controversy.
Far from getting crushed by the weight of the office, Trump doesn't seem to feel it at all. Never has any president been as outwardly unfazed by the majesty of the presidency and the White House, or made fewer accommodations to their trappings and norms.
President Trump still acts like he's Celebrity Trump fighting a vicious flame war with Rosie O'Donnell, except his targets now might be other heads of state, or his own attorney general, or losing members of his own party.
The idea that he is a representative of the nation apparently makes very little impression on him. He never stops to think that any given jibe might be unworthy of the highest office in the land, or maybe that he, blessed with more power and showered with more attention than anyone on the planet, has an obligation to be elevating and restrained, even if no one else is.
One of the attractions of the presidency to him appears to be that he can continue to punch down - but do it from a higher altitude than ever before.
To draw on examples from just this past weekend, he inveighed against stupid skits mocking him on "Saturday Night Live," going so far as to question their legality. He called his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen "a rat," using terminology favored by the mob (although usually in private).
And he commented on the pending prosecution of Maj. Matthew Golsteyn, a US Army officer who is facing murder charges for allegedly killing a Taliban bomb-maker in 2010 while Golsteyn was deployed in Afghanistan.
Even after two years, Trump hasn't lost his capacity to surprise. Did the president of the United States really render the last name of the incoming chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, as an expletive?
Did he call that TV anchor "low IQ"? Did he insult the looks of Stormy Daniels, the porn star with whom he allegedly had an affair? Did he call his former secretary of state dumb?
Of course he did.
In the competition between blurting out whatever happens to be bothering him and paying a little heed to acting presidential, it's never a contest.
This doesn't mean that Trump should give up his enormously powerful megaphone on Twitter, or pretend to be something he's not (even if he could). He just shouldn't go out of his way to affirmatively advertise his animosities and half-baked opinions.
Much of this is ephemera, but collectively and over time, it creates a lasting impression. A major factor in the drubbing that Republicans suffered in the suburbs in the November midterms was a reaction against Trump's persona, as underlined by his own conduct and tweets.
If he cares about keeping the presidency - and he surely does - he should care a little more about respecting the dignity of the office.
The great advantage of the presidency is that it is naturally set up to invest people elected to it with a certain grandeur, via the White House, saluting Marines, Air Force One, "Hail to the Chief," and ceremonial events large and small.
All it requires is showing up and, very often, reading from a script. Rather than simply pocketing this benefit, Trump tends to undercut it 280 characters at a time.
-- ADVERTISEMENT --
If he's ever brought low, it's less likely to be from the pressures of his responsibilities than his cussed inability or unwillingness to make a minimal effort to conform to his role.

Interesting choice of words
Michael Flynn, President Trump's first national security adviser who began cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation about a year ago, will be sentenced Tuesday for lying to the FBI.
Flynn's appearance in D.C. federal court before U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan will be viewed as a key milestone in an investigation that has prodded along for 19 months amidst high public intrigue and increasing vitriol from the president.
It is arguably the most highly anticipated sentencing yet in Mueller's investigation, and comes on the heels of the three-year sentence handed down to Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen for a slew of federal charges that sprung from details uncovered by Mueller's sprawling probe.
Flynn is unlikely to be sentenced to significant prison time. Citing his "substantial assistance" in ongoing investigations, Mueller recommended a lenient sentence for Flynn and has not asked for any jail time.
But Flynn and his attorneys may have scrambled his situation by arguing that Flynn was entrapped by the FBI into lying about his Russia contacts, giving new life to a theory among conservatives that the one-time Trump campaign surrogate was wronged by the Justice Department and Mueller.
Flynn's defense attorneys asked the court to spare him from prison and sentence him to at most one-year probation last week. They cited an FBI report stating that agents did not warn Flynn of the penalties for making a false statement "because they wanted Flynn to be relaxed, and they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the rapport."
Without disputing Mueller's characterization of the crime, they argued Sullivan should consider the circumstances of his interview when evaluating "the seriousness of the offense."
The court filing added fresh drama to Flynn's case and prompted Sullivan, who has a reputation as a hawk for any government misconduct, to ask Mueller to produce documents related to Flynn's interview, which the special counsel filed in redacted form on Friday and Monday.
It also inspired a firm rebuke from Mueller, who wrote that Flynn "chose" to lie and asserted that Flynn, a retired three-star Army general and former chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency, "knows he should not lie to federal agents."
Mueller also asked Sullivan to reject Flynn's attempt to "minimize the seriousness of those false statements to the FBI."
The developments have energized conservatives who have speculated that Flynn was mistreated by the FBI and duped into lying. One of the agents who interviewed Flynn was former agent Peter Strzok, who became a popular target among Republicans after a Justice Department inspector general probe unearthed text messages he sent critical of Trump prior to the 2016 election.
Trump himself suggested last week that Mueller's prosecutors gave Flynn a "great deal because they were embarrassed by the way he was treated" and attempted to "scare" him into making up stories. The president has also seized on accounts that agents did not observe outward signs indicating Flynn knew he was lying as evidence his former national security adviser was wrongly ensnared Mueller's probe.
Some legal experts say that the decision by Flynn to cast his FBI interview as deceptive could backfire, if the judge views him as downplaying his culpability.
"I think it's kind of surprising, and actually potentially risky on his part," said Randall Eliason, a George Washington University law professor and former assistant U.S. attorney in D.C. "That could actually work against him."
Federal sentencing guidelines call for Flynn to face between zero and six months in prison and up to a $9,500 fine. Others ensnared in Mueller's probe who have pleaded guilty to the same offense received small sentences, including George Papadopoulos, a former Trump campaign adviser who was released from prison after 12 days.
Flynn, once a vocal Trump campaign surrogate, served less than a month in the White House before he was forced to resign over revelations he misled Vice President Pence and other administration officials about his conversations with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak regarding sanctions on Moscow during the transition.

Dem senator: Trump is 'clearly going after the rule of law'
Delaware Sen. Chris Coons (D) on Monday said that President Trump is "clearly going after the rule of law" by attacking the FBI and the Department of Justice over investigations into him.
"The president is clearly going after the rule of law and our criminal justice system. And he's undermining it," Coons said in an appearance on CNN's "New Day."
Coons took particular exception to a Trump tweet on Sunday saying it was "unthinkable & unheard of" for the FBI to raid Cohen's office in April, when agents for the bureau seized documents from Cohen's office and home.
"Remember, Michael Cohen only became a "Rat" after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started," Trump tweeted. "They BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE! Why didn't they break into the DNC to get the Server, or Crooked's office?"
Coons shot back at the assertion that the FBI "broke into an attorney's office."
"For the millions of people who follow closely what President Trump has to say on Twitter every day, the idea that the FBI broke into his attorney's office runs right up against the foundation of our law," Coons added.
The FBI was executing a search warrant that had been approved following a referral from special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Coons on Monday said that the FBI "was executing a duly authorized warrant."
"Law enforcement - federal, state, local law enforcement - doesn't just break into people's offices," he said. "They were executing a warrant issued with the approval of a judge. This is part of how investigations work."
Coons also criticized Trump's characterization of the raid, saying that Trump sounds "more like a mob boss" than the president.
"His use of the term 'rat' for Michael Cohen and mischaracterizing this as a break-in into his attorney's office frankly makes him sound more like a mob boss than the president of the United States," Coons said.

FBI, CIA Told WaPo They Doubted Key Allegation In Steele Dossier
FBI and CIA sources told a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter that they didn't believe a key claim contained in the "Steele Dossier," the document the Obama FBI relied on to obtain a surveillance warrant on a member of the Trump campaign. The Post's Greg Miller told an audience at an October event that the FBI and CIA did not believe that former longtime Trump attorney Michael Cohen visited Prague during the 2016 election to pay off Russia-linked hackers who stole emails from key Democrats, reports the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross. "We've talked to sources at the FBI and the CIA and elsewhere - they don't believe that ever happened," said Miller during the October event which aired Saturday on C-SPAN. We literally spent weeks and months trying to run down… there's an assertion in there that Michael Cohen went to Prague to settle payments that were needed at the end of the campaign. "We sent reporters to every hotel in Prague, to all over the place trying to - just to try to figure out if he was ever there, and came away empty."
Ross notes that WaPo somehow failed to report this information, nor did Miller include this tidbit of narrative-killing information in his recent book, "The Apprentice: Trump, Russia, and the Subversion of American Democracy." Miller also admits that the dossier's broad claims are more closely aligned with reality, but that the document breaks down once you focus on individual claims. Steele, using Kremlin sources, claimed in his dossier that Cohen and three associates went to Prague in August 2016 to meet with Kremlin officials for the purpose of discussing "deniable cash payments" made in secret so as to cover up "Moscow's secret liaison with the TRUMP team."

Invoking Watergate, Cummings Wants Cohen to Testify Before Congress
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) said Sunday he hopes President Donald Trump's longtime attorney will testify before Congress and share his story with the American people. Speaking with Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union," Cummings expressed hope that Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney, would provide the public more information about potential wrongdoing in Trump's campaign in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. "I am hoping that Mr. Cohen will come before the Congress," Cummings said. He hopes Cohen "can tell the American public exactly what he has been saying to [special counsel Robert] Mueller and others without interfering with the Mueller investigation."
Cohen previously served as executive vice president and special counsel to Trump's organization. Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty in November to lying to Congress concerning communications with the Russian government and planned travel to Russia concerning a proposed Trump tower in Moscow. Cummings is set to chair the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform when Democrats retake control of the House in 2019. He assumed ranking member status on the committee after Rep. Edolphus Towns (D., N.Y.) declined the position in December 2010. Though he acknowledged he had asked for dozens of subpoenas while serving as ranking member on the committee, Cummings told Tapper that Congress needed to direct its efforts to the most urgent issues. "Of those 64, there's so many, Jake, so many issues we brought up that would normally come up whether the president was Republican or Democrat, but there's so many," he said. Of those, "we have to have to pull some aside and deal with the ones that are most urgent,"he added.
Cummings hopes Cohen will freely choose to testify before Congress in January, in a fashion akin to John Dean's 1973 testimony that took down President Richard Nixon. "Remember John Dean with regard to the Nixon tapes and the testimony that he provided? He changed the course of America," Cummings said. "I think surely Mr. Cohen should come forward and let us know what he has on his mind." Dean served as Nixon's White House counsel during the Watergate break-in and subsequent cover-up. He correctly suspected that Nixon had recorded their conversations, hoping to escape culpability for the scandal. After Dean admitted to shredding files and facilitating payments to those charged with the break-in, he shared his knowledge with prosecutors, prompting the Supreme Court to order the White House to turn over Nixon's incriminating tapes. Cohen has shared a number of private recordings between him and Trump concerning payments for women alleging improper sexual relations with Trump. Trump denied involvement in payments to Stormy Daniels and others. Experts disagree on whether the payments constituted an improper campaign expenditure.
Tapper asked Cummings about his earlier comments about Trump's payments constituting an impeachable offense, and whether that means the House should proceed with articles of impeachment against Trump. Cummings demurred. He agreed that the evidence against the president was "certainly powerful enough," but thought acting now would be "premature." He suggested instead that the special counsel have the time to finish his report. "Our major thing right now is to let Mr. Mueller, who I have a tremendous amount of respect for, do his job," he said. "Then we take a look at what he says and go from there." Cummings told Tapper he "definitely" agreed with Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) that the president ought to be indicted when appropriate. Currently, Department of Justice guidelines are of the view that a sitting president cannot be indicted. "We should always reconsider laws and regulations," he said. "This is one we definitely should reconsider. Some Democrats, like Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) have strongly opposed rushing towards impeachment. Others, like Congresswoman-elect Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and billionaire mega-donor and 2020 presidential hopeful Tom Steyer have thrown their support behind immediate impeachment.

Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani says there will be a Mueller interview 'over my dead body'
With a number of probes moving closer to the Oval Office, Donald Trump and his attorney unleashed a fresh series of attacks on the investigators, questioning their integrity while categorically ruling out the possibility of a presidential interview with the Special Counsel.
If Trump officially refuses interview request, Special Counsel's team could theoretically seek to subpoena him to compel testimony
Mr Trump and Rudy Giuliani used Twitter and television interviews to deliver a series of broadsides against Special Counsel Robert Mueller and federal prosecutors in New York.
Mr Giuliani said he was "disgusted" by the tactics used by Mr Mueller in his probe into Russian election interference, including securing guilty pleas from the President's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, on a charge of lying to federal investigators.
Mr Trump, Mr Giuliani said, would not submit to an interview by Mr Mueller's team.
"They're a joke," Mr Giuliani told Fox News.
''Over my dead body, but, you know, I could be dead."
The Special Counsel, who is investigating possible ties between Mr Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and Russia, has continued to request an interview with the President.
Last month, the White House wrote answers in response to the Special Counsel's questions about possible collusion. The White House has resisted answering questions on possible obstruction of justice.
Mr Giuliani sarcastically said the only thing left to ask the President was about, "several unpaid parking tickets that night, back in 1986, '87 that haven't been explained".
If the President officially refuses an interview request, the Special Counsel's team could theoretically seek to subpoena him to compel his testimony. Such a move would almost certainly trigger an immediate court fight.
The Supreme Court has never directly ruled on whether a president can be subpoenaed for testimony in a criminal investigation, though the justices have said a president can be forced to turn over records that have been subpoenaed and can be forced to answer questions as part of a lawsuit.
Which is the truth?'
The Special Counsel's investigation has spun out charges and strong-armed guilty pleas from Trump underlings while keeping in suspense whether the President - "Individual-1", in Mr Mueller's coded legalese - will end up accused of criminal behaviour himself.
This past week, his legal exposure grew as his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, was sentenced to three years in prison after admitting he issued hush-money payments to women who alleged sexual trysts with Mr Trump.
Prosecutors and Cohen said he acted at the President's direction, which Mr Trump and Mr Giuliani deny.
Mr Trump and Mr Giuliani have repeatedly tried to paint Cohen as untrustworthy, with the former New York City mayor calling him a "pathological liar".
"Which is the truth?" Mr Giuliani said of the competing stories from Mr Trump and Cohen.
"I think I know what the truth is. Unless you're God, you'll never know what the truth is."
Mr Trump and Mr Giuliani have also accused prosecutors of intimidating the President's associates into making false claims.
"Remember, Michael Cohen only became a 'Rat' after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started," Mr Trump tweeted.
"They BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE!"
It was not a break-in. The FBI executed a search warrant obtained from a judge in conducting a raid in April on Cohen's home, office and hotel room and seizing records on a variety of matters, among them a $US130,000 payment made to porn actress Stormy Daniels by Cohen. The application for the warrant was approved high in the Justice Department.
In response to Mr Trump's tweet, former FBI director James Comey tweeted: "This is from the President of our country, lying about the lawful execution of a search warrant issued by a federal judge. Shame on Republicans who don't speak up at this moment - for the FBI, the rule of law, and the truth."

Trump goes on offense against investigations after tough week
Share to Twitter
President Trump on Sunday went on offense after a week that saw potential legal woes piling up against him.
The special counsel's investigation and the FBI's handling of cases concerning him were on the president's mind, as well as "Saturday Night Live" and several other issues, as Trump spent a rainy morning in Washington, D.C., sending a string of tweets.
Trump began the morning by raising the prospect of challenging the satirical NBC show in court, then revived his attacks on the FBI by blaming the bureau for causing his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to speak out against him.
The president went on to address the case of a Green Beret charged with murder, and capped off his morning by defending the policy of separating children from their families at the border.
The president had no public events scheduled for Sunday. The White House indicated shortly before 10 a.m. that there would be no added events, according to a pool report.
Trump has in the past filled similarly blank itineraries by lashing out on Twitter, but Sunday's six-tweet outburst came at the conclusion of a particularly volatile week for the president.
In the past seven days, Trump had multiple candidates withdraw from consideration to be his chief of staff; publicly fought with Democrats about border security funding and vowed to own a government shutdown; watched his longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, receive a three-year prison sentence in part for crimes he said he committed at Trump's direction; and the president's inauguration committee reportedly became the subject of a criminal investigation.
In his first tweet of the morning, Trump declared that a "real scandal" was the coverage he received on NBC and "Saturday Night Live." The comedy show opened its broadcast the previous night with a sketch depicting Trump's life had he not been elected president.
"It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials," Trump tweeted. "Should be tested in courts, can't be legal? Only defame & belittle!"
The president, who has claimed he does not watch "SNL," has commented on the show multiple times on Twitter in recent months. Sunday marked the first time he questioned the legality of its mockery, though satirical speech is protected by the First Amendment.
Trump then turned his attention to the FBI.
The president alleged the bureau "broke into" Cohen's office, and claimed the raid caused his longtime associate to turn against him.
"Remember, Michael Cohen only became a 'Rat' after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started. They BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

With an attorney like Lanny Davis, who needs enemies? Then again Lanny is probably right, only it was the cabal Cohen feared.
Lanny Davis: Michael Cohen 'feared for his country and his family' when Trump became president
Lanny Davis, an adviser and former attorney for Michael Cohen, said Sunday that Cohen "underwent a genuine transformation" when Donald Trump became president that led to Cohen admitting to crimes he committed while working for Trump.
Davis, appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," said the transformation was sparked because Cohen "feared for his country and his family."
"Michael Cohen is now taking ownership in his statement to the court of his personal responsibility for his behavior when he worked for Donald Trump," he said.
"Now that he saw Donald Trump as president, he underwent a genuine transformation because he feared for his country and his family when Donald Trump was president," Davis added.
Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, was sentenced last week to three years in prison for a range of crimes he committed while working for Trump.
Those crimes included campaign finance violations stemming from payments he made during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign to women who said they had affairs with Trump. Cohen and federal prosecutors have said that Trump directed Cohen to make those payments.
Davis said Sunday that Cohen "took ownership and personal responsibility" for his crimes.
"And he's going to jail as a consequence," Davis added.

Republicans examine accusations of 'pay to play' at Clinton Foundation, amid plunge in donations
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee on Thursday examined accusations of "pay to play" at the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, as Democrats dismissed the Capitol Hill hearing as a partisan exercise.
North Carolina GOP Rep. Mark Meadows, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations, opened Thursday's hearing by expressing concern over recently reported tax documents showing donations to the Clinton Foundation plunged in the wake of Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
The filings showed that the foundation took in $26.6 million in 2017, a 58 percent drop from the $62.9 million it received the previous year.
>"Now several reports suggest that the decrease in donations could reflect a 'pay to play' activity in the years prior to the decline in donations," Meadows said.
The Clinton Foundation has repeatedly denied all allegations of "pay to play."
Meadows added that the committee sought to have U.S. Attorney John Huber, the prosecutor appointed to investigate the foundation, testify at Thursday's hearing. But Meadows said the Justice Department did not accept the invitation.
"Mr. Huber was asked to join us this afternoon and update the committee on the operations and progress of his investigation, and unfortunately, DOJ has been unwilling to make him available," Meadows said. "I find this not only frustrating for me, but frustrating for the American people."
Meadows told Fox News last week three people have come forward with hundreds of pages of evidence of potential wrongdoing by the Clinton Foundation, including misappropriation of funds and allegations of quid-pro-quo promises made to donors during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.
Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions appointed Huber to lead the evaluation into issues involving the FBI, the Clinton Foundation and the sale of Uranium One, amid calls from some conservatives to appoint a special counsel.
The top Democrat on the subcommittee, Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly, ripped into Republicans at the beginning of the hearing, accusing them of recycling attacks on the Clintons. He asked why the committee wasn't investigating conflicts in the Trump administration, and referenced other scandals, like former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen being sentenced to prison for a variety of crimes.
CLINTON FOUNDATION WHISTLEBLOWERS HAVE COME FORWARD WITH HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF EVIDENCE, MEADOWS SAYS
"Here we are, a few weeks before Christmas, and my Republican friends are re-gifting an old probe," Connolly said, adding, "They've found nothing, but that doesn't stop them from trying to do it again."
Still, the committee had a slate of other witnesses - Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, Phillip Hackney, a law professor at the University of Pittsburg, Lawrence Doyle of DM Income Advisors and John Moynihan of JFM Associates - appear to discuss the Clinton Foundation and laws governing non-profits.
Fitton referenced reports of the Clinton Foundation receiving "staggering sums" of money from Saudi benefactors, estimated between $18 million and $50 million, he said. Fitton added: "While Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, Bill Clinton gave two speeches in Saudi Arabia earning a total of $600,000."
"There is enough evidence to warrant serious investigations of the Clinton Foundation," Fitton said.
Fitton, a conservative whose group frequently sues for public records from government agencies, also dinged agencies inside the Trump administration for not doing more to turn over documents.
"It's unfortunate that even the Trump administration doesn't want to divulge the full truth about this," he said.
According to a committee notice, the purpose of Thursday's hearing was to discuss the management of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, using the Clinton Foundation as a case study.
The committee advisory said these organizations are "not permitted to be organized or operated for the benefit of any private individual and are only permitted to engage in minimal political activity" and added that when "a nonprofit organization violates these terms, defrauds contributors, or engages in impermissible political activity, the IRS may revoke its tax exempt status."

The Totalitarian Fantasy That Is the SDNY's Campaign Finance Investigation of Trump
I'm going to have to stop reflexively making fun of people who make slippery-slope arguments.
I admit to smirking at activists who warned that Title IX would lead to sex-specific bathrooms being declared discriminatory, transitioning men participating in women's sports, and mere accusations of sexual assault against men being proof of guilt-no matter how vague the definition.
Now federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York are making the case that anything that happens to a candidate in his personal life-good or bad-is a possible campaign contribution, even if no campaign funds were spent.
But hey, if a tax cut-government not taking your money-can be called a giveaway...
You can find lots of discussion as to the technical aspects of why Michael Cohen arranging hush money for Trump's bad behavior with sketchy women is not a campaign finance violation (the best of which was written by the great Hans von Spakovsky) and we will touch on some of those. But the frightening thing about the SDNY charging Michael Cohen is that it is a massive expansion of federal power into personal matters.
As Boston lawyer Harvey Silverglate explains in his fine book, Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent, the complexity of federal law means the feds can target pretty much any ordinary citizen and find something to charge him with (as the Mueller probe seems determined to prove).
If the SDNY's creative interpretation of campaign finance law is allowed to stand, the Justice Department will have the power to take down pretty much any major candidate they do not like.
In free countries, we investigate crimes. In authoritarian countries, they investigate individuals.
If there is any doubt that the Mueller investigation ceased being a counter-intelligence operation and became a criminal investigation with a specific target in search of a crime, this tangent in the Cohen probe (which was handed to the SDNY by the special counsel) offers absolute proof.
Here's how insidious this is: In order for Cohen to get a break on his fraud and tax evasion charges, he pled guilty to something that isn't even a crime-and for which he's not getting additional jail time-in order to name Donald Trump as a co-conspirator in that "crime."

PROJECTION
NBC News Legal Analyst: 'Legally We Already Now Know That the President Has Committed a Felony in Order to Obtain the Office'
Friday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Daniel Goldman, former assistant United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, weighed in on Michael Cohen cooperating with FBI special counsel Robert Mueller in his investigation.
Host Joe Scarborough asked Goldman, who is also a legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, if President Donald Trump could "survive legally."
Goldman claimed that it is already a known fact that Trump "committed a felony in order to obtain the office of the presidency."
"I think, legally, we already now know that the president has committed a felony in order to obtain the office of the presidency," Goldman stated. "He will likely not be charged with that, and in part, he's not going to be charged because even if he could be, forget about the DOJ policy, Michael Cohen decided not to fully cooperate with the Southern District of New York. So, he's not a witness available to them right now.
He continued, "And Joe, when you were talking a little bit about Michael Cohen, certainly you have to feel very bad for his family. But what he's saying doesn't add up. If he really wanted to get this over with and get back to his family, he would have fully cooperated, agreed to be a witness, agreed to postpone his sentencing so that he could get an even more reduced sentence.

I like your thinking anon and I've seen it done before but I don't think so in this case. To be honest, the UK is completely wrapped up in Brexit. Nothing from the USA is penetrating the consciousness of the UK. Normally, the media would be all over Michael Cohen going to prison and using it to get at Trump but it's getting no traction at all. No one cares about anything other than Theresa May and Brexit.

Republicans examine accusations of 'pay to play' at Clinton Foundation, amid plunge in donations
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee on Thursday examined accusations of "pay to play" at the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, as Democrats dismissed the Capitol Hill hearing as a partisan exercise.
North Carolina GOP Rep. Mark Meadows, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations, opened Thursday's hearing by expressing concern over recently reported tax documents showing donations to the Clinton Foundation plunged in the wake of Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
The filings showed that the foundation took in $26.6 million in 2017, a 58 percent drop from the $62.9 million it received the previous year.
>"Now several reports suggest that the decrease in donations could reflect a 'pay to play' activity in the years prior to the decline in donations," Meadows said.
The Clinton Foundation has repeatedly denied all allegations of "pay to play."
Meadows added that the committee sought to have U.S. Attorney John Huber, the prosecutor appointed to investigate the foundation, testify at Thursday's hearing. But Meadows said the Justice Department did not accept the invitation.
"Mr. Huber was asked to join us this afternoon and update the committee on the operations and progress of his investigation, and unfortunately, DOJ has been unwilling to make him available," Meadows said. "I find this not only frustrating for me, but frustrating for the American people."
Meadows told Fox News last week three people have come forward with hundreds of pages of evidence of potential wrongdoing by the Clinton Foundation, including misappropriation of funds and allegations of quid-pro-quo promises made to donors during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.
Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions appointed Huber to lead the evaluation into issues involving the FBI, the Clinton Foundation and the sale of Uranium One, amid calls from some conservatives to appoint a special counsel.
The top Democrat on the subcommittee, Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly, ripped into Republicans at the beginning of the hearing, accusing them of recycling attacks on the Clintons. He asked why the committee wasn't investigating conflicts in the Trump administration, and referenced other scandals, like former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen being sentenced to prison for a variety of crimes.
CLINTON FOUNDATION WHISTLEBLOWERS HAVE COME FORWARD WITH HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF EVIDENCE, MEADOWS SAYS
"Here we are, a few weeks before Christmas, and my Republican friends are re-gifting an old probe," Connolly said, adding, "They've found nothing, but that doesn't stop them from trying to do it again."
Still, the committee had a slate of other witnesses – Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, Phillip Hackney, a law professor at the University of Pittsburg, Lawrence Doyle of DM Income Advisors and John Moynihan of JFM Associates - appear to discuss the Clinton Foundation and laws governing non-profits.
Fitton referenced reports of the Clinton Foundation receiving "staggering sums" of money from Saudi benefactors, estimated between $18 million and $50 million, he said. Fitton added: "While Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, Bill Clinton gave two speeches in Saudi Arabia earning a total of $600,000."
"There is enough evidence to warrant serious investigations of the Clinton Foundation," Fitton said.
Fitton, a conservative whose group frequently sues for public records from government agencies, also dinged agencies inside the Trump administration for not doing more to turn over documents.
"It's unfortunate that even the Trump administration doesn't want to divulge the full truth about this," he said.
According to a committee notice, the purpose of Thursday's hearing was to discuss the management of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, using the Clinton Foundation as a case study.
The committee advisory said these organizations are "not permitted to be organized or operated for the benefit of any private individual and are only permitted to engage in minimal political activity" and added that when "a nonprofit organization violates these terms, defrauds contributors, or engages in impermissible political activity, the IRS may revoke its tax exempt status."

Trump Lawyer Rudy Giuliani Exposes Holes in Mueller Investigation
President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani spoke about the ongoing Mueller investigation and what Trump's legal team is doing.
Giuliani and the rest of Trump's legal team are focused on getting Mueller to wrap up the probe. Giuliani called Yahoo News on Dec. 12, to express his views on the situation.
"Our strategy is ... to do everything we can to try to convince Mueller to wrap the damn thing up, and if he's got anything, show us," Giuliani told Yahoo. "If he doesn't have anything, you know, write your report, tell us what you have, and we'll deal with it. He can't prosecute him [Trump]. All he can do is write a report about him, so write the goddamned thing and get it over with now."
Giuliani also expressed dissatisfaction with Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen. Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison on Dec. 12.
"Cohen is a completely dishonorable person. ... I've never heard of a lawyer that tape-recorded their client without the client's permission, and I've known some pretty scummy lawyers," Giuliani told Yahoo. "You don't exist very long in the legal profession if you go around taping your client."
Cohen's sentence was reduced because of his guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the probe.
Giuliani also told Yahoo that Mueller's investigation shifted focus from Russian collusion to campaign finance law violations because there was nothing to uncover about collusion.
"How do they all of a sudden become campaign finance prosecutors? You need a special prosecutor for campaign finance? I mean, they started with collusion. ... After two years and two investigations ... they have nothing on collusion," Giuliani told Yahoo. "Then, they started squeaking about obstruction. They've got nothing on obstruction, and Article II prevents them from doing anything about obstruction. Now they're doing campaign finance."
Giuliani saw questions Mueller submitted to the president on the collusion issue. He also wasn't impressed.

Trump Inauguration Spending Under Criminal Investigation by Feds
New York federal prosecutors are now investigating Trump's inauguration spending.
Then-President elect Donald Trump received $107 million in donations to his inaugural committee and now the feds are launching a fishing expedition to see if the funds were misspent.
This new investigation stems from the April FBI raid of Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen's home and office.
CNBC reported:
Manhattan-based federal prosecutors are investigating whether some of the $107 million in donations to then-President elect Donald Trump's inaugural committee were misspent, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said the investigation arose in part from the slew of materials seized in April raids on Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, by federal prosecutors.
The criminal probe is also looking into whether some of the committee's top spenders traded money for access to the incoming Trump administration, as well as "policy concessions or to influence official administration positions," sources told the Journal.
"Giving money in exchange for political favors could run afoul of federal corruption laws," The newspaper explained. "Diverting funds from the organization, which was registered as a nonprofit, could also violate federal law."
After New York prosecutors turned the screws on Michael Cohen, they shifted their focus to President Trump.

Trump's Ex-Lawyer Didn't Violate Campaign Finance Laws, and Neither Did the President
President Donald Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, may have been convinced by the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to plead guilty to a supposed violation of campaign finance law, but that doesn't mean that what happened is actually a federal crime.
In fact, neither the Federal Election Commission-which is the independent agency tasked with enforcing the Federal Election Campaign Act-nor its former commissioners would likely agree with the overaggressive view that the Southern District is taking. Indeed, the Southern District's aggressive stance on this issue might have violated the Justice Department's own policy.
Robert Khuzami, the acting U.S. attorney standing in for Geoffrey Berman, who has recused himself from the Cohen case, says in the government's sentencing memorandum that Cohen committed a campaign finance violation by arranging payments from corporations to two women-Woman-1 and Woman-2 (Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, respectively), who claimed they had affairs with Trump-in order to buy their silence. Cohen eventually invoiced the Trump Organization for the Daniels payment.
Khuzami asserts these were illegal corporate contributions to the Trump campaign because they were made with "the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election." Thus, he claims, they were campaign-related expenses and all of the rules governing federal campaigns apply to the payments.
But there are numerous problems with Khuzami's claim.

Former FEC Commissioner: Trump Did Not Violate Campaign Finance Laws
Former FEC Commissioner Hans Von Spakovsky debunked the argument that President Donald Trump broke campaign finance laws by paying women he allegedly had affairs with prior to becoming president. The president's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was sentenced to three years in jail on Wednesday for a litany of crimes, including making an illegal campaign contribution amounting to $130,000 to Stormy Daniels, who alleges she slept with Trump in 2006, so she would keep quiet about the affair.
Despite the guilty plea, Spakovsky said that Trump should not be worried because it would have to be a "campaign-related expense" for the contribution break any campaign finance laws. He also pointed out that the only other time the Justice Department tried to say payments like these were campaign-related expenses was with John Edwards. Donations to Edwards' campaign actually went to paying his mistress, a woman who worked for the campaign and ended up having his child. A jury, however, ruled that Edwards' donations were not a campaign-related expense. Spakovsky went on to say that Trump has nothing to worry about and that the U.S. attorney's office is being "overly aggressive" in their pursuit of the matter.

Lou Dobbs Rips Nikki Haley for Comments on Trump: 'What Is Wrong With This Person?!'
by Josh Feldman | Dec 12th, 2018, 7:47 pm 54
Fox Business' Lou Dobbs blasted outgoing U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley for comments she made about how she worked with President Donald Trump's tendencies to spout off in her role on the world stage.
On the Today Show this morning, Haley talked about using Trump's unpredictability to her advantage in dealing with other countries:
"If I needed to pick up the phone and say, 'This is what I'm going to do, are you good with this,' we kind of partnered in that. He would ratchet up the rhetoric and I would go back to the ambassadors and say 'He's pretty upset. I can't promise you what he's going to do or not, but I tell you if we do these sanctions, it will keep him from going too far'... I was trying to get the job done, and I got the job done by being truthful, but also by letting him be unpredictable and not showing our cards."
Dobbs was talking with Ed Rollins earlier tonight about the Michael Cohen sentence. Rollins said, "If there's anything the president is guilty of, he had some bad people around him doing his bidding before he became president."
Dobbs then used the "bad people" line to segue immediately to Haley. He was really worked up about her comments about the President, saying, "I mean, you would think she was making U.S. foreign policy. What is wrong with this person?!"
Rollins was similarly stunned by her comments and said she should've been "fired in a heartbeat."
Dobbs noted that Haley's already on her way out, adding, "You would have thought she was some sort of foreign policy international relations scholar from Harvard or Yale, not the former governor of the great state of South Carolina. It's absurd!"

THINK ABOUT THIS…
IF sleazy Michael Cohen had ANYTHING real on "Trump's dirty deals" the prosecution would NEVER had sent him before a judge for sentencing PRIOR to Cohen testifying about those "dirty deeds" in order to insure Cohen held up his end of the bargain for the lighter sentence!
Smoke and mirrors, Anons!
They don't have squat on POTUS and Cohen's sentence proves it!

National Enquirer Publisher Admits To Trump Hush-Money Scheme Hours After Cohen Sentenced
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2018.02.16mcdougal.jpg?itok=fuN-o3Dr
National Enquirer Parent Co Reaches Non-Prosecution Deal For Non-Crime with SDNY in Deep State Effort to 'Get Trump'
New York prosecutors turned the screws on Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen to get to President Trump.
Michael Cohen appeared in a Manhattan court Wednesday to face sentencing on nine charges and was sentenced to 36 months in prison.
The New York Prosecutors also revealed that they reached a non-prosecution agreement (for a non-crime) with the National Enquirer's parent company AMI over Trump's hush payment to Playboy bunny Karen McDougal.
Mueller's thugs and New York prosecutors are forcing people into plea deals to admit guilt to non-crimes in order to ensnare President Trump.
REWIND -
As previously reported in July, CNN aired a private recording of President Trump discussing with his attorney Michael Cohen how they would purchase rights to Playboy model Karen McDougal's story about their 2006 affair.
The private recording is from a conversation between Trump and Cohen in September of 2016; Cohen's lawyer Lanny Davis provided the recording to CNN.
McDougal sold her story to the National Inquirer for $150,000 but the tabloid, favoring Trump, didn't run the story - a practice known as "catch-and-kill."
Rudy Giuliani previously said Trump had no idea he was being recorded, didn't make a payment and that he had done nothing wrong.
Now the prosecutors reached a deal for a non-crime in an effort to 'get Trump.'
Via SDNY:
In one instance, Cohen caused American Media, Inc. ("AMI"), which was identified in previous court filings as "Corporation-1," to make a $150,000 payment to one woman; in the other, Cohen made a $130,000 payment to another woman through an LLC he incorporated for the purpose of making the payment. Cohen was reimbursed for the latter payment in monthly installments disguised as payments for legal services performed pursuant to a retainer, when in fact no such retainer existed. Cohen made or caused both of these payments in order to influence the 2016 election and did so in coordination with one or more members of the campaign.
The Office also announced today that it has previously reached a non-prosecution agreement with AMI, in connection with AMI's role in making the above-described $150,000 payment before the 2016 presidential election. As a part of the agreement, AMI admitted that it made the $150,000 payment in concert with a candidate's presidential campaign, and in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before the 2016 presidential election. AMI further admitted that its principal purpose in making the payment was to suppress the woman's story so as to prevent it from influencing the election.
Assuming AMI's continued compliance with the agreement, the Office has agreed not to prosecute AMI for its role in that payment. The agreement also acknowledges, among other things, AMI's acceptance of responsibility, its substantial and important assistance in this investigation, and its agreement to provide cooperation in the future and implement specific improvements to its internal compliance to prevent future violations of the federal campaign finance laws. These improvements include distributing written standards regarding federal election laws to its employees and conducting annual training concerning these standards.

Incoming Attorney General Letitia James Planning Investigation Of Donald Trump And Co.
December 12, 2018 - 12:06 pm
by Shenequa Golding
"We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well."
Incoming New York Attorney General Letitia James is planning a sweeping investigation of Donald Trump, his family and anyone associated with the president.
While speaking with NBC News, James said she will use every corner of the law to look at any illegal activity committed.
"We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well," James said.
Specifically, James will investigate any illegal activity associated with the president's New York real-estate holdings, including the 2016 meeting with a Russian official at Trump Tower and any government subsidies he's received.
"We want to investigate anyone in his orbit who has, in fact, violated the law," the Democratic attorney general said.
After James announced her forthcoming investigation, Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen will face the music for lying to Congress and violating campaign laws. Cohen faces four years in prison.

Cohen at sentencing says Trump was right to call him weak: 'It was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds'
President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen at his sentencing in federal court on Wednesday said the president was right to call him weak because it was his "duty" to cover up Trump's "dirty deeds."
"Recently the president tweeted a statement calling me weak, and it was correct but for a much different reason than he was implying," Cohen said, according to multiple reports. "It was because time and time again I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds."
Trump last month blasted Cohen as a "weak person" for pleading guilty to lying to Congress in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.
Cohen was sentenced Wednesday to three years in federal prison for a series of crimes he committed while working for Trump, including campaign finance violations stemming from payments to two women alleging to have had affairs with Trump.
Trump's former longtime lawyer and fixer on Wednesday said he has been "leading a personal and mental incarceration" ever since he began working for Trump in the early 2000s.
"This may seem hard to believe but today is one of the most meaningful days of my life," Cohen said, Bloomberg reported. "The irony is today is the day I get my freedom back. I have been leading a personal and mental incarceration ever since the fateful day that I accepted the offer to work for a famous real estate mogul whose business acumen I greatly admired."
Cohen also lamented the impact his legal woes have had on his family.
"There is no sentence that can supersede the suffering I live with on a daily basis knowing that my actions have brought undeserved pain and shame upon my family," Cohen said. "I deserve that shame, they do not."
Toward the end of his remarks, Cohen handed a tissue to his crying daughter, according to Bloomberg.
Federal prosecutors in New York last week recommended Cohen serve "substantial" prison time, despite his ongoing cooperation in the Mueller probe and other law enforcement investigations.
The prosecutors also said Cohen committed the campaign finance violations at the direction of "Individual-1," who has been identified as Trump.
Cohen concluded that he takes responsibility "for each act that I pled guilty to: The personal ones to me and those involving the President of the United States of America."
After Cohen spoke, Judge William Pauley said Cohen has pleaded guilty to a "veritable smorgasbord of fraudulent conduct."

Cohen Attorney Lanny Davis: Cohen Will Work with Mueller for Next Three Months Finding a Trump Crime Before Heading to the Slammer
Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen appeared in a Manhattan court Wednesday to face sentencing on nine charges.
Cohen was targeted by federal prosecutors because he worked for Republican Donald Trump.
They discovered crimes after he became a target.
Cohen wept as he begged the judge to give him no jail time. He threw Trump under the bus and said it was his 'blind loyalty' that led him to cover up the President's "dirty deeds," CNBC reported.
"I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to - the personal ones to me and those involving the president of the United States of America," Cohen said in federal court in Manhattan before he was sentenced.
"Blind loyalty" to Trump "led me to take a path of darkness instead of light," Cohen told the judge.
Before Judge William Pauley sentenced Cohen to 36 months in prison, he said, "Mr. Cohen pled guilt to a veritable smorgasbord of fraudulent conduct and each of these crimes standing alone warrant considerable punishment."
Michael Cohen was heckled by Democrats outside the courtroom.
Cohen's attorney Lanny Davis said his client will spend the next three months before heading to jail working with (composing) Robert Mueller everything he possibly can about President Trump in hopes Mueller can get him a reduced sentence.

Cohen was targeted by federal prosecutors because he worked for Republican Donald Trump.
They discovered crimes after he became a target.
Cohen wept as he begged the judge to give him no jail time. He threw Trump under the bus and said it was his 'blind loyalty' that led him to cover up the President's "dirty deeds," CNBC reported.
"I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to - the personal ones to me and those involving the president of the United States of America," Cohen said in federal court in Manhattan before he was sentenced.
"Blind loyalty" to Trump "led me to take a path of darkness instead of light," Cohen told the judge.
Before Judge William Pauley sentenced Cohen to 36 months in prison, he said, "Mr. Cohen pled guilt to a veritable smorgasbord of fraudulent conduct and each of these crimes standing alone warrant considerable punishment."
Michael Cohen was heckled by Democrats outside the courtroom.
One heckler is heard screaming, "Cohen is goin' to jail!"

Michael Cohen Cries in Court - Sentenced to 36 Months in Prison
Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen appeared in a Manhattan court Wednesday to face sentencing on nine charges.
Cohen wept as he begged the judge to give him no jail time.
The judge sentenced him to 36 months in prison.
The Daily Mail reported:
An anguished Michael Cohen pleaded with a federal judge to keeping out of jail on Thursday, and expressed regret for trying to cover up former employer Donald Trump's 'dirty deeds.'
The tearful longtime Donald Trump lawyer took on Trump - who he once said he would 'take a bullet for' - for having called him 'weak' in a Twitter attack.
'Recently the president tweeted a statement calling me weak and it was correct, but for a much different reason than he was implying,' Cohen told a federal judge in open court. 'It was because time and time again I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds,' Cohen said.
Cohen headed to federal court in New York Wednesday to face sentencing after prosecutors in New York recommended he get 'substantial' jail time - as his attorney lauded his willingness to testify against the president.
In a courtroom plea for leniency, Cohen's lawyer, Guy Petrillo, described Cohen as a brave witness who came forward with evidence 'against the most powerful person in our country' - and tried to draw a contrast with former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, who prosecutors say committed 'lies' despite agreeing to cooperate.
In August, Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws 'at the direction of a candidate.'
Cohen was also charged Wednesday on allegations of bank and tax fraud from a taxi cab business he owned with another business partner after the FBI raided his home and office in April and seized personal property including computers and phones.

Nothing To Do With Russia But Trump May Face Indictment For 'Campaign Finance' Violations
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 40-page memo on Michael Cohen released Friday makes two things perfectly clear, there was no evidence of collusion with Russia during the 2016 election but there very well could be an indictment against President Donald Trump for campaign finance violations, according to analysts.
Former New York prosecutor Andrew McCarthy's opinion article on the Fox New's website argues that Cohen's hush payments to porn star Stephanie Clifford, known by her stage name Stormy Daniels, and Cohen's payment to Playboy model Karen McDougal "were not merely unreported. It states that Cohen and the Trump organization - the president's company - went to great lengths to conceal them by fraudulent bookkeeping."
Do those payments mean Trump committed a federal crime if he directed Cohen to make the payments? Absolutely not
McCarthy goes on to state that 'equally significantly, Cohen was not charged with merely making illegal donations. He was charged in the first campaign finance count with causing a company to make illegal donations...It has been obvious for some time that President Trump is the principal subject of the investigation still being conducted by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York."
Gregg Jarrett, a Fox News legal analyst, whose book "The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump" is a top New York Times bestseller, argued that Cohen pleaded guilty to a non-crime, a situation that happens often too frequently. He argues that Trump did not commit a crime.
"Do those payments mean Trump committed a federal crime if he directed Cohen to make the payments? Absolutely not," says Jarrett in his column to Fox News. "Just because one person pleads guilty does not mean that another person is automatically guilty. Indeed, in agreeing to the prosecutors' demands, Cohen actually pleaded guilty to a non-crime. Why would he do such a thing? Again, the answer is leniency. Sadly, it happens rather frequently."
"Why are the payments to the women a non-crime - in other words, perfectly legal? First, Trump did not utilize campaign funds for the payments. Second, under the law, he is allowed to spend an unlimited amount of his own money on his campaign," Jarrett added.
Top Democrats, who will be taking the majority in January, are jumping all over the possibility of an indictment and threatening the possibility of an impeachment.

Former Nixon WH lawyer: Congress will have 'little choice' but to begin impeachment proceedings
Former Nixon White House lawyer John Dean said he thinks Congress will have "little choice" but to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump following a Friday evening court filing involving Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen.
"I think what this totality of today's filings show that the House is going to have little choice, the way this is going, other than to start impeachment proceedings," Dean, a CNN contributor, said Friday on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."
Dean, who served time in prison for his involvement in the Watergate scandal, was discussing a sentencing memo from the Manhattan US attorney's office, which was the first time prosecutors have said Cohen acted at the direction of Trump when the former fixer made payments to silence women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump prior to his time running for office.
Trump has denied the affairs and has not been accused of any crimes related to the payments.

Prosecutors Paint Michael Cohen as a Liar - But Rely on Him for Anti-Trump Charges
NEW YORK - The nearly 40-page sentencing memo from New York prosecutors claiming that President Trump directed his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to make hush payments to two women that allegedly violated election law presents no actual evidence beyond Cohen's own characterizations.
The memo itself, however, paints Cohen as a deceiver who willingly repeatedly lied, and who possesses a fleeting sense of wrongdoing, little remorse and a tendency to place blame on others.
The memo laments how the Court "had to press Cohen to acknowledge that he understood he was lying to a bank."
It charges that Cohen's "consciousness of wrongdoing is fleeting, that his remorse is minimal, and that his instinct to blame others is strong. While he has legally accepted responsibility, the Court should consider at sentencing these transparent efforts at minimizing Cohen's false statements and criminal conduct."
While rendering Cohen untrustworthy, the sentencing memo relies on Cohen's own characterizations to charge that he "acted in coordination and at the direction of" an unnamed "Individual-1", clearly referring to Trump, to pay off two women who claimed that they had previous sexual encounters with Trump.
At issue is a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, which prosecutors argue violated campaign finance law restricting donations to no more than $2,700. Prosecutors say that a separate $150,000 payment allegedly coordinated by Cohen via American Media Inc. to keep former Playboy model Karen McDougal from going public also constituted an illegal corporate donation.
Specific criminal intent is important to establish for successful prosecution of a campaign finance violation, as the Justice Department documents. The sentencing memo repeatedly portrays Cohen as seeking to influence the election, minimizing the possibility that any payments may have been made as a private matter with the intended goal of sparing Trump personal embarrassment.
The document outright accuses Cohen of "seeking to criminally influence the Presidential election."
The memo continues:
Cohen's commission of two campaign finance crimes on the eve of the 2016 election for President of the United States struck a blow to one of the core goals of the federal campaign finance laws: transparency. While many Americans who desired a particular outcome to the election knocked on doors, toiled at phone banks, or found any number of other legal ways to make their voices heard, Cohen sought to influence the election from the shadows. He did so by orchestrating secret and illegal payments to silence two women who otherwise would have made public their alleged extramarital affairs with Individual-1. In the process, Cohen deceived the voting public by hiding alleged facts that he believed would have had a substantial effect on the election
Later on, the memo concedes that "after making the payment to the second woman, and after Individual-1 was elected President, Cohen privately bragged to friends and reporters, including in recorded conversations, that he had made the payment to spare Individual-1 from damaging press and embarrassment."

Q Research General #5398: Q Lurks Edition
Pollak: Robert Mueller, Media, Democrats Ignore Hillary Clinton's Campaign Finance Violations
If we are to treat campaign finance reporting violations as grave offenses, the first person in the dock ought to be Hillary Clinton - not Donald Trump.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's sentencing memorandum for Michael Cohen on Friday repeated claims that Cohen violated campaign finance rules at the direction of then-candidate Donald Trump.
The media and their Greek chorus of Democrats are delighted, with incoming House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler (D-NY) calling the alleged crimes "impeachable offenses," and incoming House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff speculating about jail time.
It is not clear, however, that Trump broke the law.
First of all, the payment of "hush money" - the key issue - had a personal purpose quite separate from the campaign.
And as Alan Dershowitz noted when the claims first surfaced, "if Cohen was merely acting as a lawyer for Trump and advancing the payments, with an expectation of repayment, then it would be hard to find a campaign finance crime other than failure to report by the campaign." He added: "Failure to report all campaign contributions is fairly common in political campaigns in the United States."
Moreover, it is a matter of public record that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) paid Fusion GPS via an intermediary, the Perkins Coie law firm, to conduct opposition research on Trump - which became the dubious Russia "dossier," which led to the FBI investigation of Trump's aides.
Furthermore, the Clinton campaign and the DNC falsely reported their expenditures to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as "legal services." The amount of money was in the range of several millions of dollars - more than ten times the $280,000 that Trump is alleged to have paid to women claiming to be his mistresses.
As Kimberly Strassel of the Wall Street Journal noted in August:
The Clinton campaign paid Fusion GPS to compile a dossier against Mr. Trump, a document that became the basis of the Russia narrative Mr. Mueller now investigates. But the campaign funneled the money to law firm Perkins Coie, which in turn paid Fusion. The campaign falsely described the money as payment for "legal services." The Democratic National Committee did the same.
Prosecutors can claim all they want that they are applying the law equally, but if they only apply it to half the suspects, justice is not served. Mr. Mueller seems blind to the national need for-the basic expectation of-a thorough look into all parties.
Mueller is not the only one who is blind. The media and the Democrats are deliberately creating a double standard for one reason: to oust Trump - for a likely non-crime, unrelated to Russia "collusion."

After Turning the Screws on Michael Cohen, New York Prosecutors Shift Focus to Trump Family Business
New York prosecutors have shifted their focus to the Trump family business after turning the screws on Michael Cohen and calling for a 'substantial' prison term for Trump's former-lawyer-turned-rat.
New York prosecutors weren't just gunning for Michael Cohen, they linked his crimes to President Trump, referring to the President as "individual-1" in a legal filing Friday.
The prosecutors have continued to probe what people in Trump's orbit may have known about the hush payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, two women Trump is alleged to have had affairs with several years ago.
In August, Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws 'at the direction of a candidate,' - and will be sentenced on Wednesday. Now New York prosecutors are digging around to see who else in the Trump Organization was involved in so-called campaign finance violations, according to a report by the New York Times.
The New York Times reported:
In addition to implicating Mr. Trump in the payments to the two women, Mr. Cohen has told prosecutors that the company's chief financial officer was involved in discussions about them, a claim that is now a focus of the inquiry, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
Mr. Cohen has told prosecutors that he believes Mr. Trump personally approved the company's decision to reimburse him for one of the payments, one of the people said.
Neither the chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, nor any other executives at the Trump Organization have been accused of wrongdoing and there is no indication that anyone at the company will face charges in connection with the inquiry.
But in recent weeks, the prosecutors contacted the company to renew a request they had made earlier this year for documents and other materials, according to the people. The precise nature of the materials sought was unclear, but the renewed request is further indication that prosecutors continue to focus on the president's company even as the case against Mr. Cohen comes to a close, the people said.
At the time of the payments to the two women, Mr. Trump was the head of the company, and although he turned over its management to his elder sons, he still owns it through a trust. While the prevailing view at the Justice Department is that a sitting president cannot be indicted, the prosecutors in Manhattan could consider charging him after leaving office. It is also possible the prosecutors could seek his testimony before he leaves office if they continue the investigation into anyone else who might have had a role in the crimes, a person briefed on the matter said.
The Deep State is constrained by the Constitution and cannot arrest Trump while he is the president of the United States so they are making sure as soon as he leaves his post in the White House, he is set up to be indicted on any crime they can find-even if they have to invent crimes.
Leaker and liar Rep. Adam Schiff told CBS's "Face the Nation," on Sunday that President Trump faces "the real prospect of jail time" after he leaves office.
"There's a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time," he said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
FOX News legal expert Gregg Jarrett has argued for months that a candidate can use his own money, like billionaire Donald Trump did, and not campaign funds to pay off former lovers.
Jarrett told Hannity you can make unlimited contributions to his own campaign.

IMPORTANT VIDEO WITH TOM FITTON OF JUDICIAL WATCH (Published Dec. 5, 2018) - The Clintons, President Trump, & the Scandal of Our Generation
TRANSCRIPTION OF A RELEVANT PORTION:
"That Clinton email scandal so frightened the establishment that they would immediately start to figure out ways to get out of it. And the way they tried to get out of it was by sicking the FBI and the Justice Department on Donald Trump. This Justice Department and the FBI while it was supposed to be prosecuting and investigating Hillary Clinton was actually working with her campaign to come up with fraudulent reasons to spy on, investigate ,and target Donald Trump and his team. There is no scandal like that in American history, not in the history of the FBI, not in the history of the Justice Department.
But the scandal of our generation is what's going on with the targeting of Donald Trump - the hijacking of the FBI, CIA, Justice Department and the Defense Department, and who knows what other agencies, to try to drive Trump out of office.
And, currently, this Justice Department which is in theory supposed to be run constitutionally by the President of the United States has set itself up as a fourth branch of government that thinks it can investigate and harass the President in a way that not only impacts his ability to govern here at home, but manage our nation's security matters abroad.
Who is running this Justice Department that it would allow the Justice Department to embarrass and harass the president with this ridiculous indictment or plea agreement with Michael Cohen as he is going to a summit in South America in the middle of a crisis with Russia over its aggressive actions against the Ukraine? This is a Justice Department that isn't working for the people anymore and it's all about getting Donald Trump.
...
Some of these lawsuits, for instance, led to the disclosure that this FBI met with Clinton spy Christopher Steele 13 times in 2016. They only paid him cash 11 of those times. You had the CIA, in my view, harnessing agents to go and target the President's team abroad because they knew if they did it here they would be in violation of Executive Orders and laws governing targeting of domestic political organizations. It's a scandal beyond all measure...."

Friends in high places: Michael Cohen was paid more than FOUR MILLION dollars for promising several companies, including AT&T, access to President Trump, prosecutors say
Michael Cohen was paid more than $4 million by several firms in return for access to Trump and other figures in his administration
A federal prosecutor told a judge on Friday that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen should spend between 51 and 63 months in prison
Prosecutors allege Cohen extracted more than $4 million from major corporations in return for his supposed insight into White House policy making
His reported consulting clients were telecom giant AT&T, Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis and Columbus Nova
Michael Cohen was paid more than $4 million by several firms for promising access to his former client Donald Trump.
A federal prosecutor told a judge on Friday that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen should spend between 51 and 63 months in prison for a range of federal crimes including tax evasion and violating campaign finance laws.
Now federal prosecutors provided new details on the extent of former Donald Trump fixer Michael Cohen's attempts to cash in on his access to President Trump.
They claimed that Cohen extracted more than $4 million from major corporations in return for his supposed insight into White House policy making.
According to prosecutors, Cohen, who has pleaded guilty to eight federal criminal charges, immediately sought to profit from his connections to Trump in the wake of his former boss' 2016 election victory.
They wrote in a sentencing memo: 'Cohen successfully convinced numerous major corporations to retain him as a consultant who could provide unique insights about and access to the new administration,' prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo filed on Friday.
'Some of these corporations were then stuck making large up-front or periodic payments to Cohen, even though he provided little or no real services under these contracts.
'Bank records reflect that Cohen made more than $4 million dollars before the contracts were terminated'.

Andrew McCarthy: Feds Will Try to Indict Trump on Campaign Finance Charges
Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy believes that prosecutors will attempt to indict President Donald Trump on campaign finance charges, judging from the sentencing memo in the Michael Cohen case on Friday.
McCarthy, a conservative legal analyst who worked as a prosecutor in the same Southern District of New York jurisdiction that is currently prosecuting Cohen, argued in a column on Fox News that the prosecutors would not have drawn attention to Cohen's relatively minor campaign finance violations if they did not intend on charging Trump over payments of hush money to two women before he became president:
The major takeaway from the 40-page sentencing memorandum filed by federal prosecutors Friday for Michael Cohen, President Trump's former personal attorney, is this: The president is very likely to be indicted on a charge of violating federal campaign finance laws.
It has been obvious for some time that President Trump is the principal subject of the investigation still being conducted by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
...
When Cohen pleaded guilty in August, prosecutors induced him to make an extraordinary statement in open court: the payments to the women were made "in coordination with and at the direction of" the candidate for federal office - Donald Trump.
Prosecutors would not have done this if the president was not on their radar screen. Indeed, if the president was not implicated, I suspect they would not have prosecuted Cohen for campaign finance violations at all.
McCarthy acknowledges the strong case Trump has in his defense, but says that prosecutors may be focusing on him anyway.
On Friday, Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who was also once the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and now serves as one of Trump's lawyers, dismissed the legal danger to the president.
He pointed to Cohen's conviction for lying to the FBI, which would make his testimony on other matters unreliable. "You have to believe Cohen. Who believes Cohen?" he reportedly said.

Leaker Adam Schiff: President Trump "May Face the Real Prospect of Jail Time"
Rep. Adam Schiff, who is often completely wrong and completely dishonest, told Face the Nation on Sunday that President Trump faces "the real prospect of jail time" after he leaves office.
Schiff is also accused of leaking classified information to the press dozens of time in the past two years.
Schiff spoke to Face the Nation on Sunday.
The Hill reported:
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday said that President Trump might "face the real prospect of jail time" after prosecutors indicated last week that he directed illegal payments during his 2016 presidential campaign.
"There's a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time," he said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
Schiff's comments come after federal prosecutors said in a legal filing Friday that referred to Trump as Individual-1 that Trump coordinated with and directed his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, during the 2016 campaign to make illegal payments to two women claiming they had affairs with Trump. It was the first time prosecutors made those accusations against Trump.
FOX News legal expert has argued for months that a candidate can use his own money, like billionaire Donald Trump did, and not campaign funds to pay off former lovers.

BOOM! Attorney Gregg Jarrett DESTROYS Liberal NY AG and the "Snot-Nosed Kids" and "Morons" on Staff Behind Cohen Report
FOX News legal expert and best-selling author Gregg Jarrett UNLOADED on the New York State acting Attorney General Robert Khuzami and the "snot-nosed kids" and "morons" who put together the nonsensical and flimsy accusations against Michael Cohen and targeting Donald Trump.
Gregg Jarrett went off on the novice leftists at the New York Attorney General's office for not knowing the law and putting together such an amateurish legal document.
This was brutal!
Robert Khuzami, the "Acting" US Attorney, filed a sentencing memo claiming President Trump organized illegal payments. Khuzami doesn't know the law. Non-disclosure contracts are legal in every state. It's not an illegal campaign contribution. Not a crime. Khuzami is wrong.
Trump did not use campaign funds. A candidate may make unlimited contributions to his own campaign. Yet, Robert Khuzami convinced Cohen, a liar and tax cheat, to plead guilty to a non-crime. Khuzami wants to be the guy who brings down the President.
Look at the four attorneys who signed the Cohen sentencing memo under Robert Khuzami's name. Griswold, Maimin, McKay and Roos. They're all kids. No real experience. They don't know anything about the law. They don't understand the Federal Campaign Election Act.
Frankly, it should be against the law to allow a bunch of snot-nosed kids, fresh out of law school, to file a federal court document that contorts the law in a deliberate effort to implicate the President in wrongdoing. Did they even read the law? Comprehend it? Morons.
Gregg Jarrett has argued for months that using your own money and not campaign funds to pay off former lovers.
Jarrett told Hannity you can make unlimited contributions to his own campaign.

'No Choice But to Start the Impeachment Proceedings': Watergate Counsel Resigned to Trump's Possible Fate on CNN
By Brendan Cole On 12/8/18 at 4:34 AM
A key figure in the Watergate scandal has told CNN that the allegations against President Donald Trump contained in a court filing are sufficient for Congress to start impeachment proceedings.
John Dean was reacting to the memo released by federal prosecutors into the case involving Trump's ex-attorney Michael Cohen.

As well as recommending jail time, the filing says that Cohen had claimed Trump instructed him to approve payments that violated campaign finance law.
John Dean John Dean, former White House counsel to President Nixon, in the Hart Senate Office Building on September 7, 2018 in Washington, DC. He told CNN that there is enough to start impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump . Mark Wilson/Getty Images
Dean, who was Nixon's former White House counsel, said on Erin Burnett OutFront that Cohen had "implicated Trump directly."
"I don't know that this will forever disappear into some dark hole of unprosecutable presidents," Dean said.
"I think it will resurface in the Congress. I think what this totality of today's filings show that the House is going to have little choice the way this is going other than to start impeachment proceedings," he added.
Since the Democrats took control of the House after the midterm elections, the push for impeachment, while unlikely, has become more of a possibility than at any other time of Trump's presidency, The Hill reported.
Democrats will have new subpoena powers when they take control the House from January.
However White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that the memo had revealed "nothing of value that wasn't already known."
"The government's filings in Mr. Cohen's case tell us nothing of value that wasn't already known. Mr. Cohen has repeatedly lied and as the prosecution has pointed out to the court, Mr. Cohen is no hero," she said.
The filing does not name Trump, but refers to an "Individual 1" that it says Cohen "acted in coordination with and at the direction of" in giving payments to silence adult film actor Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, who claimed they had affairs with Trump before the 2016 election.
The document notes that Cohen worked for "Individual 1" as a personal attorney after the person "had become the President of the United States".
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) from the House Judiciary Committee said that the filing had meant that Trump allegedly committed two felonies.
Lieu, a Trump critic, told MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Hardball that "we have a sitting president of the United States who committed two felonies while running for president."
"When you look at what the prosecutors did in the Southern District of New York they allege that Donald Trump directed two campaign finance violations. These are felonies and you can infer intent by looking at a defendant's statements," Lieu said.

'Who is Scott Free?' A search for meaning after Trump's misuse of a medieval idiom.
From the moment he tweeted "covfefe" in the middle of the night, President Trump has been perplexing his millions of Twitter followers with cryptic messages ranging from vague threats to North Korea to his retweets of Islamophobic videos without any comment. But on Monday, a curious person by the name of Scott Free caught the Internet's attention. The unfamiliar proper noun appeared in Trump's remarkable tweetstorm Monday, in which he wished a long prison sentence on his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen and insisted longtime adviser Roger Stone would not testify against him, leading some to question whether the statements amounted to witness tampering.
Aside from whether the tweets amounted to obstruction, there was a second query on everyone's mind: Who is Scott Free? Some thought he might be a new character in the Russia investigation. Others thought Trump might be referring to a DC Comics superhero named Scott Free, whose alter ego is Mister Miracle.
But, of course, what Trump meant was "scot-free," a centuries-old phrase meaning to escape punishment, which has nothing to do with a person named Scott. In less than a half-hour, Merriam-Webster reported that online dictionary searches for the definition or spelling of the word had spiked 3,100 percent. "Scot-free attracted considerably more attention than it usually does on December 3rd, 2018, after President Trump employed the word with an uncommon orthographic form, in a tweet," the dictionary said, meaning, in plain English, that Trump spelled it weirdly. Scott Free, by contrast, the dictionary said, is just "some guy, probably." "In [Trump's] defense," Jeremy Butterfield, editor of Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage, told The Washington Post, "many people do believe the phrase has to do with [the name] Scott."
People have been assigning wrong origins or spellings to the age-old idiom for years, according to the 2008 book "Common Errors in English Usage" by Paul Brians, a retired English professor at Washington State University. People might think the term has something to do with Scottish people (or an unfortunate "Scott") or that it is "scotch-free," somehow related to whisky. Others, Brians noted, have erroneously believed "scot-free" alludes to Dred Scott, the slave who sued for his freedom only to lose in an 1857 Supreme Court case. But really, scot-free traces its roots back to a medieval tax called a "scot" that arose in the 14th century, according to Merriam-Webster. The Vikings could also be to blame for the origin of the phrase: "Scot" is derived from the Old Norse words "skot" and also "shot" - yes, like shooting a gun or taking your shot. The Gaelic Etymology of Languages of Western Europe, an 1877 dictionary, explains that shot and scot meant the same thing at that time, as in a "contribution that … is 'shot' into the general fund." Back in those days, if you skirted around the tax, you weren't Al Capone. You were scot-free.
There were religious scots - Romescots, paid to the papal, and soulscots, paid by a dead person's family to his church - and there were also party scots, an archaic version of modern-day cover charges at bars. According to Oxford Dictionaries, "scot-ale" referred to the financial contributions that guests were required to make when notable people invited them to their alehouses for festivities. As Katherine Connor Martin of Oxford Dictionaries noted: "It was true in the most literal sense that no one got off scot-free." Butterfield noted on his personal linguistics blog that Shakespeare was among the scribes to use "shot-free," as he did in "Henry IV." "Though I could 'scape shot-free at London, I fear the shot here," the character Sir John Falstaff says in Act 5.
Trump's intended usage Monday, meaning to get away with something without punishment, is just as old. The Oxford English Dictionary records one of its earliest known usages in 1528. On Monday, Merriam-Webster pulled an example from 1542: "Asymbolus, he that commeth to a bankette, without appoyntment, an unboden gest. also he that gothe scot free, and payeth nothing," as written by Thomas Elyot in Bibliotheca Eliotae Eliotis librarie. By Tuesday morning, Butterfield had updated his original article on the etymology of "scot-free" to include Trump's use of it Monday. He calls Trump's example a "special kind of eponym eggcorn." In linguistics, an eponym refers to people whose names inspire words (the nonexistent "Scott" here), whereas an eggcorn is a language error when someone's usage is close but not quite correct - essentially close but no cigar. It's derived from the word "acorn."

QUID PRO QUO
Mueller was given the rights to investigate Michael Cohen and Trump in spite of attorney-client privilege based on the "crime-fraud" exception.
Therefore, the pretext and precedence now exists for Mueller to investigate all the Clinton attorneys that have so elegantly hidden behind attorney-client privilege for decades.
As a result, one might assume Cohen was a honey pot to create the pretext and precedence.

Mueller's Gift to Obama
Shouldn't the special counsel investigate the crimes that drew Flynn into his probe?
Robert Mueller looks to be approaching his endgame, and the press is alive with speculation as to how bad the special counsel's report will be for President Trump. It's also worth noticing how good Mr. Mueller has been to another president, Barack Obama, and his team.
This benevolence was on display in the sentencing document the special counsel's office filed on Tuesday for Mike Flynn. The former Trump national security adviser, we are told, has provided "substantial assistance," sitting for 19 interviews that aided in "several ongoing investigations." In light of this help, the Mueller team recommends leniency-perhaps even sparing him prison time.
That would be just. The special counsel provides no evidence Mr. Flynn was part of any collusion with Russia. He was instead brought up on a charge of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And it's not even clear he did that. The FBI officials who first interviewed Mr. Flynn didn't think he lied about his interactions with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak. More likely, Mr. Flynn copped a plea to save his son from worse treatment at Mr. Mueller's hands.
But what about the potential crimes that put Mr. Flynn in Mr. Mueller's crosshairs to begin with? On Jan. 2, 2017, the Obama White House learned about Mr. Flynn's conversations with Mr. Kislyak. The U.S. monitors phone calls of foreign officials, but under law they are supposed to "minimize" the names of any Americans caught up in such eavesdropping. In the Flynn case, someone in the prior administration either failed to minimize or purposely "unmasked" Mr. Flynn. The latter could itself be a felony.
Ten days later someone in that administration leaked to the Washington Post that Mr. Flynn had called Mr. Kislyak on Dec. 29, 2016. On Feb. 9, 2017, someone leaked to the Post and the New York Times highly detailed and classified information about the Flynn-Kislyak conversation.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes has called this leak the most destructive to national security that he seen in his time in Washington. Disclosing classified information is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison. The Post has bragged that its story was sourced by nine separate officials.
The Mueller team has justified its legal wanderings into money laundering (Paul Manafort) and campaign contributions (Michael Cohen) on grounds that it has an obligation to follow up on any evidence of crimes, no matter how disconnected from its Russia mandate. Mr. Flynn's being caught up in the probe is related to a glaring potential crime of disclosing classified material, yet Mr. Mueller appears to have undertaken no investigation of that. Is this selective justice, or something worse? Don't forget Mr. Mueller stacked his team with Democrats, some of whom worked at the highest levels of the Obama administration, including at the time of the possible Flynn unmasking and the first leak.

Statements from Sarah Sanders on the memos
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, has responded to the Friday night filings. On Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman accused of lying "in multiple ways and on multiple occasions", Sanders sought to distance the claims from Trump:
"The government's filing in Mr Manafort's case says absolutely nothing about the president. It says even less about collusion and is devoted almost entirely to lobbying-related issues. Once again the media is trying to create a story where there isn't one."
Sanders meanwhile attacked the credibility of Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, who is potentially facing four years in prison:
"The government's filings in Mr Cohen's case tell us nothing of value that wasn't already known. Mr Cohen has repeatedly lied and as the prosecution has pointed out to the court, Mr Cohen is no hero."

Mueller Drops Sentencing Memo On Former Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen. Here Are 5 Things You Need To Know.
On Friday afternoon, two major memos regarding President Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, dropped. The first concerned the Mueller investigation's recommended sentencing for Cohen in light of Cohen's repeated untruths as well as his testimony to the Mueller investigation; the second concerned the Southern District of New York's recommended sentencing for Cohen in light of his testimony regarding President Trump's campaign and payoffs to women including Stormy Daniels.
Here's what you need to know about the Mueller sentencing memo.
1. Mueller Smacks Cohen. Mueller begins by stating that Cohen's "crime was serious." According to the special counsel's office (SCO), Cohen "withheld information material to the investigations of Russia interference in the 2016 US presidential election." The SCO memo says that Cohen's lies were "deliberate and premeditated," were not spontaneous, and began in a "written submission."
2. Mueller Is Focusing In On Cohen's Lies About Moscow Business. According to the memo, Cohen "lied to Congress about a business project (the 'Moscow Project') that he worked on during the 2016 presidential campaign," while working for the Trump Company and for Trump personally. The goal of such lies was allegedly to "minimize links between the Moscow Project and Individual 1 [Trump]," and to "give the false impression that the Moscow Project had ended before the Iowa caucus and the first presidential primaries, in hopes of limiting the ongoing Russia investigations being conducted by Congress and the SCO."
According to Mueller, Cohen's lies "obscured the fact that the Moscow Project was a lucrative business opportunity that sought, and likely required, the assistance of the Russian government. If the project was completed, the Company could have received hundreds of millions of dollars from Russian sources in licensing fees and other revenues." Mueller says that Cohen worked on the project and discussed it with Trump "well into the campaign," and adds that Cohen, "during the campaign, had a substantive telephone call about the project with an assistant to the press secretary for the President of Russia."
Mueller says that Cohen would have benefitted from the deal, and in a footnote, points out that Trump had personally approved reaching out to Russia before a meeting with Putin during Putin's visit to the United Nations in 2015.
3. Mueller Is Suspicious Of Other Russian Reach-Outs. According to the memo, "The defendant also provided information about attempts by other Russian nationals to reach the campaign. For example, in or around November 2015, Cohen received the contact information for, and spoke with, a Russian national who claimed to be a 'trusted person' in the Russian Federation who could offer the campaign 'political synergy' and 'synergy on a government level." That person wanted to meet with Trump, and told Cohen that the meeting could have a "phenomenal" impact "not only in political but in a business dimension as well." Cohen didn't follow up on that particular reach-out.
4. There Are Other Figures Who Will Come Into Play Soon. The memo suggests that Cohen provided information "concerning his contacts with persons connected to the White House during the 2017-2018 time period." Presumably, these people could include Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, and Jerome Corsi.
5. There Is No Allegation That Trump Broke The Law. The "Moscow Project" does not mean that Trump actually violated the law by doing business with the Russians during the election. It means Cohen lied about it, and Mueller is suspicious of a quid pro quo. Those suspicions are obvious from Mueller's language: "Cohen admitted that he had lied to Congress and to the SCO about the Moscow Project. He provided detailed information about the true circumstances of the Moscow Project, including its duration, the persons involved in the discussions, contacts with Russian government officials, and discussions during the first half of 2016 about the possibility of travel to Russia in connection with the Moscow Project."
Cohen's testimony could be damaging to Trump - but he's provided more dots that require connections. Those dots haven't yet been connected, but it's easy to see why Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani is concerned that Mueller may believe Trump lied to the FBI about the Trump Tower meeting, given Mueller's obvious belief that Trump was warm to Russian well in advance of the 2016 election.

BuzzFeed trash on Ivanka
Ivanka Trump Was In Contact With A Russian Who Offered A Trump-Putin Meeting
Her contact, a Russian Olympic weightlifter, said a meeting between Trump and Putin could expedite a Trump tower in Moscow.
Amid intense scrutiny of contacts between Donald Trump's inner circle and representatives of Vladimir Putin, Ivanka Trump's name has barely come up. But during the campaign, she connected her father's personal lawyer with a Russian athlete who offered to introduce Donald Trump to Putin to facilitate a 100-story Trump tower in Moscow, according to emails reviewed by BuzzFeed News and four sources with knowledge of the matter.
There is no evidence that Ivanka Trump's contact with the athlete - the former Olympic weightlifter Dmitry Klokov - was illegal or that it had anything to do with the election. Nor is it clear that Klokov could even have introduced Trump to the Russian president. But congressional investigators have reviewed emails and questioned witnesses about the interaction, according to two of the sources, and so has special counsel Robert Mueller's team, according to the other two.

New York Prosecutors Seek 'Substantial' Jail Term for Ex-Trump Lawyer Cohen
New York prosecutors recommended on Friday a "substantial term of imprisonment" for former longtime lawyer for US President Donald Trump Michael Cohen over campaign finance violations and tax violations, a court filing revealed.
The case centers around payments sent by Cohen to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence on her affair with Trump in addition to Cohen's evasion of taxes.
Cohen has been cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller in his investigation into links and coordination between members of the Trump presidential campaign and officials of the Russian government but has reportedly been less cooperative in other criminal probes. Cohen pleaded guilty in August.

Regarding private company investigating CF:
"According to retired FBI supervisory agent Jeffrey Danik, MDA's work is "a very good roadmap for investigation, adding "When you have the organization's own lawyers using words like 'quid pro quo,' 'conflicts of interest' and 'whistleblower protections,' you have enough to get permission to start interviewing and asking questions."
While some of the documents MDA submitted were marked as attorney-client privileged, Danik doesn't think that should be an issue for federal investigators - given that since special counsel Robert Mueller "got the OK to investigate Michael Cohen and his attorney-client communications with President Trump, I imagine that hurdle could be overcome under the crime-fraud exception."

Feds received whistleblower evidence in 2017 alleging Clinton Foundation wrongdoing
The IRS sent multiple letters in 2017 and 2018 to MDA Analytics, confirming it had received the submission and it was "still open and under active investigation." But, shortly before last month's election, the agency sent a preliminary denial letter indicating it did not pursue the allegations for reasons that ranged from a lack of resources to possible expiration of the statute of limitations on some allegations.
I asked a half-dozen former federal investigators to review the submission and key evidence; all said the firm's analysis of tax-exempt compliance issues would not be that useful to federal agencies that have their own legal experts for that. But they stressed the evidence of potential criminality was strong and warranted opening an FBI or IRS probe.
"It is a very good roadmap for investigation," said retired FBI supervisory agent Jeffrey Danik, a prior practicing certified public accountant who helped the bureau make some of its most complex financial fraud and terrorism cases during a 29-year career.
"When you have the organization's own lawyers using words like 'quid pro quo,' 'conflicts of interest' and 'whistleblower protections,' you have enough to get permission to start interviewing and asking questions," he said.
Danik said the only investigative challenge is that some documents assembled by the private investigators are marked as attorney-client privileged and federal agents might need special permission to use them.
"Given that [special counsel Robert] Mueller got the OK to investigate Michael Cohen and his attorney-client communications with President Trump, I imagine that hurdle could be overcome under the crime-fraud exception," he said.
The whistleblower submission's public emergence comes at a sensitive time, as President Trump has taken to Twitter in recent months to decry a lack of action by his Justice Department against the Clintons.
And a GOP-led congressional subcommittee, led by Rep. Mark Meadows (N.C.), is planning to hold a hearing next week to review the work of John Huber, the special U.S attorney named a year ago to investigate all things Clinton.
That hearing is designed to determine how much money and resources Huber has dedicated to the investigation and whether any action might be expected on issues that long have concerned conservatives, including Hillary Clinton's transmission of classified information over an insecure private email server and the foundation's activities.
A prosecutor working for Huber called MDA Analytics last week, seeking copies of their evidence, according to sources. The firm told the prosecutor that the FBI has possessed the evidence in its Little Rock office since early 2018, the sources said.
Some evidence that MDA investigators cited is public source, such as internal foundation reviews hacked in 2016 and given to WikiLeaks. Other materials were provided to the investigators by foreign governments that have done business with the charity, or by foundation insiders.
One of the nonpublic documents is an interview memo the MDA Analytics investigators penned after meeting with Kessel in late November 2016 at the Princeton Club in New York City.
Kessel told those investigators that "one of the biggest problems was Mr. Clinton's commingling and use of business and donated funds and his personal expenses," according to the whistleblower submission.
"There is no controlling Bill Clinton. He does whatever he wants and runs up incredible expenses with foundation funds," states a separate interview memo attached to the submission.
"Bill Clinton mixes and matches his personal business with that of te foundation. Many people within the foundation have tried to caution him about this but he does not listen, and there really is no talking to him," the memo added.
The memo also claims Kessel confirmed to the private investigators that private lawyers reviewed the foundation's practices - once in 2008 and the other in 2011 - and each found widespread problems with governance, accounting and conflicts of interest.

Here are some of my thoughts after reading the Hill article. Other than Kessel knowing where the bodies are buried here is what I noticed.
"Compliance by private Wall Street firms" -
Was there gross negligence resulting from the mishandling of information/insufficient information protection at the CF? Fiscal compliance only or info-sec as well such as SOCI, SOC2, PCI, NIST, ISO27001?
Drug Enforcement Administration money-laundering investigations. -
U1 Deal? Money from Russia for speaking engagements? Would any of this link back to CF or SOROS? Foundation donations?
Optics for the investigation -
"The firm wasn't hired by clients but, rather, conducted its research on the Clinton Foundation at its own expense " - This looks better from an "optics" standpoint. - They cannot say that POTUS or affiliates hired MDA to dig dirt on the CF. MDA went after the CF on "their own" so to speak without direct/immediate monetary incentives to find wrongdoing.

Grassley Shuts Down 'Da Nang Dick' Blumenthal - Refuses to Call in Don Jr. For Questioning Over Fake News Articles
Democrat Senator Richard "Da Nang Dick" Blumenthal cited fake news stories from NPR and CNN in an effort to harass Don Jr. and drag him in for more questioning.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) destroyed minority Committee member Richard Blumenthal in a letter this week.
Grassley called out Blumenthal for citing the fake news article NPR ran where they blatantly lied by deceptively editing Don Jr.'s 2017 testimony.
Last Friday, NPR deceptively edited Don Jr.'s testimony to make it appear his account of the Trump Organization's plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow were inconsistent with Michael Cohen's testimony.
Blumenthal jumped on the story and Don Jr hit back hard after NPR admitted the story was false.
NPR purposely conflated two separate endeavors the Trump Organization pursued in their efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. The first effort included negotiations with Russian Real Estate mogul, Aras Agalarov which ended in 2014. The second effort to build a tower in Moscow involved Michael Cohen and businessman Felix Sater - this second effort took place from 2015-2016.
Fake news NPR then issued a huge correction to their story, but this didn't stop Da Nang Dick from citing the news story as evidence Don Jr lied to Congress.
This is precisely why CNN, NPR, New York Times roll out fake news articles - Democrat lawmakers cite these damaging stories as a reason to harass Trump and his family with congressional hearings and depositions.
Blumenthal also cited a fake news article from CNN that was published in July which used Clinton sewer dweller attorney Lanny Davis as its 'anonymous source.' The Lanny Davis saga turned into a media circus and another CNN story collapsed.
Grassley SLAMMED Blumenthal for citing the fake news CNN story as evidence Don Jr. lied to Congress:
"Puzzlingly, your letter also cites yet another claim that was the subject of a high-profile retraction. You cited a CNN article from July 2018 to imply that Mr. Trump Jr. may have lied when he said he did not tell his father in advance about the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting. That CNN article cited an anonymous source to claim that Mr. Cohen had witnessed Mr. Trump Jr. tell his father about the meeting beforehand. That anonymous source was later revealed to be Lanny Davis, Cohen's attorney, who retracted his claim in a bizarre media spectacle, which your office seems to have missed," Grassley wrote.
Senator Grassley then pivoted to someone who actually did lie to Congress - Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson.
"Of course, where we do have actual evidence of misleading testimony in Committee interviews, we should treat it seriously," Grassley said of Simpson.
After Grassley called out Blumenthal for citing fake news as an excuse to harass Don Jr., he said "In sum, I do not believe the examples you have cited warrant bringing Mr. Trump Jr. back in for an additional Committee interview. If you have more questions for him, Irespectfully suggest you write to his attorneys."

Q Research General #5323: The Deep State Is Trying To Run Congress Edition
Not sure Mueller will be around then!
Democratic lawmakers, set to take control of the House of Representatives in January, are reportedly planning to send special counsel Robert Mueller transcripts of testimony from some of President Trump's closest aides.
Reuters, citing three sources familiar with the matter, reported that Democrats want Mueller to review the testimony for evidence and possible falsehoods.
The news service notes that the House Intelligence Committee has heard testimony from Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, son Donald Trump Jr, former advisers Roger Stone and Corey Lewandowski, personal aide Rhona Graff and former personal aides Hope Hicks and Keith Schiller.
All of those interviews will reportedly be sent to Mueller, who has been investigating Russian election interference in the 2016 election.
Two sources told Reuters that they expect Mueller to review testimony from Stone, Kushner and Trump Jr. for potential falsehoods.
A spokesperson for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who will chair the committee in December, told Reuters that sending Mueller transcripts would not mean the panel believes criminal charges should be brought.
"We do not foreclose the possibility of making a referral, but all we have decided is to provide the Special Counsel with the transcripts so that his team can evaluate them for evidence as well as potential perjury," Patrick Boland, Schiff's spokesperson, said.
The report from Reuters comes about a week after Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty last week to one count of making false statements to Congress while talking about his correspondence with Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Cohen has agreed to cooperate with Mueller's investigation as part of his plea.
In September, Republicans rejected a proposal from Democrats to send Mueller transcripts of testimony from its own investigation into Russian election interference. GOP lawmakers did however vote to send 53 transcripts to the Director of National Intelligence for declassification, according to Reuters.

WHAT A JOKE: DOJ Ramps Up Probe Into Podesta Group... Can You Guess the Outcome? (Hint: They're Democrats)
Justice Department prosecutors are ramping up their investigation into foreign lobbying by the Podesta Group and Mercury Public Affairs according to the Associated Press.
Is this just a ploy to make it look like Mueller is bipartisan?
AP reported:
In a flurry of new activity, Justice Department prosecutors in the last several weeks have begun interviewing witnesses and contacting lawyers to schedule additional questioning related to the Podesta Group and Mercury Public Affairs, the people familiar with the inquiry said. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing work.
The New York work underscores the broad effects of Mueller's investigation, extending well beyond the central question of President Donald Trump and collusion. Mueller has made clear he will not turn away if he discovers alleged crimes outside the scope of his inquiry; instead, he refers them out in investigations that may linger on even after the special counsel's work concludes. Other Justice Department referrals from Mueller have ended in guilty pleas, including the hush money payment case of Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen.
In July it was reported that Robert Mueller referred several cases to New York federal prosecutors to probe a few American lobbyists, including Tony Podesta, for failing to properly file as foreign agents.
Many speculated this move by Mueller was merely a ploy to make it look like the special counsel is 'bipartisan,' and to boost Podesta's testimony being that he has already been immunized in Manafort's DC case.
The Podesta Group, the now defunct lobbying firm ran by John Podesta's brother, Tony Podesta, was lobbying a pro-Kremlin Ukrainian political front yet was never issued an indictment from Mueller even though they failed to register as a foreign agent.
Tony Podesta was given immunity in the DC case where Paul Manafort was charged for failing to file a FARA form for his Ukrainian lobbying efforts. This is further proof Manafort was hunted down like an animal by Mueller purely because of his association with Donald Trump.
The Podesta Group was given the liberty to retroactively file its foreign agent disclosures after someone at the DOJ tipped them off they had improperly filed FARA paperwork.
Tony Podesta has received special treatment from Mueller and the Feds while the FBI raided Manafort at gunpoint in a pre-dawn door-buster to seize paperwork.
Here's why Mueller may have made this move against the Podesta Group...
"What to watch for: whether this is to make it appear an inquiry is taking place to satiate jury when secret deal immunized testimony. Prosecutors often make it look like they are prosecuting someone to boost their testimony, but no one would testify unless secret deal made," Attorney Robert Barnes said of this Mueller referral.
None of the people involved have been charged and there is zero indication this inquiry will even result in criminal charges.

Michael Flynn Is Helping The Government On 'Several' Cases. Which Ones?
A long-awaited memo filed Tuesday revealed that former national security advisor Michael Flynn has helped the special counsel and other prosecutors on "several" investigations
That reference has touched off speculation about what other cases Flynn is helping with in addition to Mueller's Russia probe
The retired lieutenant general could be providing assistance on Turkey's lobbying efforts in the U.S., a now-deceased political operative's hunt for deleted Clinton emails, or a "peace plan" proposed by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen
The special counsel's memo in the Michael Flynn case says that the former national security advisor is cooperating with prosecutors on "several" different investigations.
The wording of that memo, which said that Flynn has provided "substantial" assistance to the government, has touched off widespread speculation about what other investigations Flynn has provided information for outside of the special counsel's core probe into possible collusion between Trump associates and the Russian government.
The memo makes clear that Flynn has provided assistance regarding the Trump transition team's interactions with Russian government officials. Special counsel Robert Mueller recommended that Flynn receive no jail time due to his assistance to the government. He met 19 times with Mueller's team or prosecutors in other Justice Department offices, according to the memo.
Flynn's interactions with Russians during the transition period is the core component of the case against the retired lieutenant general. He admitted to making false statements about conversations he had in December 2016 with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak regarding U.S. sanctions against Russia.
But the structure of the heavily-redacted Mueller memo suggests that Flynn is helping prosecutors with at least two outside investigations, as well as other components of the Mueller probe. The specifics of that cooperation is impossible to glean from Mueller's sentencing memo due to heavy redactions. Flynn's attorney did not respond to a request for comment.

What Foreign Threats?
One of the local Washington television stations was doing a typical early morning honoring our soldiers schtick just before Thanksgiving. In it soldiers stationed far from home were treated to videolinks so they could talk to their families and everyone could nod happily and wish themselves a wonderful holiday. Not really listening, I became interested when I half heard that the soldier being interviewed was spending his Thanksgiving in Ukraine.
It occurred to me that the soldier just might have committed a security faux pas by revealing where he was, but I also recalled that there have been joint military maneuvers as well as some kind of training mission going on in the country, teaching the Ukrainian Army how to use the shiny new sophisticated weapons that the United States was providing it with to defend against "Russian aggression."
Ukraine is only one part of the world where the Trump Administration has expanded the mission of democracy promotion, only in Kiev the reality is more like faux democracy promotion since Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko is clearly exploiting a situation that he himself provoked. He envisions setting himself up as a victim of Moscow to aid in his attempts to establish his own power through a security relationship with Washington. That in turn will help his bid for reelection in March 2019 elections, in which his poll numbers are currently running embarrassingly low largely due to the widescale corruption in his government. Poroshenko has already done much to silence the press in his county while the developing crisis with Russia has enabled him to declare martial law in the eastern parts of the country where he is most poorly regarded. If it all works out, he hopes to win the election and subsequently, it is widely believed, he will move to expand his own executive authority.
There also has to be some consideration the encounter with the Russians on the Kerch Strait was contrived by Poroshenko with the assistance of a gaggle of American neoconservative and Israeli advisers who have been actively engaged with the Ukrainian government for the past several years. The timing was good for Poroshenko for his own domestic political reasons but it was also an opportunity for the neocons warmongers that surround Trump and proliferate inside the Beltway to scuttle any possible meeting between a vulnerable Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin at the G20 gathering in Argentina.
The defection of Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen, together with the assumption that a lot of anti-Trump dirt will be spilled soon, means that the American president had to be even more cautious than ever in any dealings with Moscow and all he needed was a nod of approval from National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to cancel the encounter. A heads-of-state meeting might not have solved anything but it certainly would be better than the current drift towards a new cold war. If the United States has only one vitally important relationship anywhere it is with Russia as the two countries are ready, able and apparently willing to destroy the world under the aegis of self-defense.

Mueller's office to recommend sentencing for ex-Trump aide Flynn
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office will make a sentencing recommendation for former national security adviser Michael Flynn on Tuesday, in a court filing that is expected to shed light on the extent of Flynn's cooperation in the Russia probe.
Flynn, who held the White House job for only 24 days, pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia. He will be sentenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Dec. 18.
He is so far the only member of President Donald Trump's administration to plead guilty to a crime uncovered during Mueller's wide-ranging investigation into Russian attempts to influence the 2016 U.S. election and potential collusion by Trump aides.
Others who have also since been charged by Mueller include Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort and campaign deputy Rick Gates, as well as Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen who last week pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about a proposed Trump Organization skyscraper in Moscow.
Trump has called Mueller's probe a witch hunt and has denied colluding with Russia. Moscow denies trying to interfere in the elections.
Flynn's crime of lying to the FBI carries a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison. However his plea agreement states he is eligible for a sentence of zero to six months and can ask the court not to impose a fine.
Flynn, a retired army general, was forced to resign after he was found to have misled Vice President Mike Pence about discussions he had with Russia's then-ambassador Sergei Kislyak.
Under a plea bargain deal, Flynn admitted in a Washington court that he lied when asked by FBI investigators about conversations with Kislyak just weeks before Trump took office.
Prosecutors said the two men discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia and that Flynn also asked Kislyak to help delay a U.N. vote seen as damaging to Israel.
Mueller's office has had varied degrees of success with the level of cooperation it has received from defendants who have pleaded guilty.
Recently, prosecutors asked for another delay in sentencing Gates, citing his ongoing cooperation in multiple probes.
But Manafort could be facing a tough sentence after prosecutors last month alleged he had breached his plea deal by lying repeatedly to the FBI.
They are due to file court papers on Friday laying out their case for why Manafort should lose any credit when he is sentenced for his alleged failure to accept responsibility for his crimes.

STONE UPDATE
Roger Stone denies Trump committed witness tampering by praising his 'guts'
President Trump's former campaign adviser Roger Stone on Tuesday denied that Mr. Trump committed witness tampering a day before by publicly praising his unwillingness to testify against him.
Mr. Stone pushed back on social media after several lawyers suggested that the president may have obstructed justice by applauding his former adviser's "guts" on Twitter.
"No 'Legal Scholar' who isn't a drooling [Trump-hating] libtard thinks the President's tweet constitutes 'witness tampering,' " Mr. Stone wrote in an Instagram post.
"I'm proud to have the praise of my friend of 40 years," Mr. Stone said in another. "Witness tampering my ass."
Mr. Trump faced fresh scrutiny after mentioning Mr. Stone on Twitter early Monday, moments after ripping Michael Cohen, the president's former personal attorney, for cooperating with federal investigators.
"You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term?" Mr. Trump tweeted about Mr. Cohen. "He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence."
" 'I will never testify against Trump,' " Mr. Trump several tweeted minutes later. "This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about 'President Trump.' Nice to know that some people still have 'guts!' "
Legal experts subsequently claimed that Mr. Trump may have obstructed justice in the form of witness tampering - a crime that outlaws attempts to "influence, intimidate or impede" grand jury proceedings.
"Federal law makes it a crime to do anything to dissuade, try to postpone or delay someone's testimony," said Elie Honig, a former assistant U.S. attorney with the Southern District of New York. "When you look at the president's tweets from this morning, if I was a prosecutor and we had a wiretap up on someone's phone and they said those exact things that the president tweeted, I would say, 'Wow, we just got him on obstruction,' " he told CNN.
"This is genuinely looking like witness tampering," echoed Neal Katyal, a former U.S. acting solicitor general. "The fact it's done out in the open is no defense. Trump is genuinely melting down, and no good lawyer can represent him under these [circumstances]."
Mr. Stone, 66, served as an adviser to Mr. Trump's presidential election campaign through 2015. He later made repeated statements during the race about the WikiLeaks website and its publication in 2016 of material damaging to Mr. Trump's opponent, former Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's office is investigating the circumstances surrounding those disclosures as part of the Justice Department probe into alleged Russian election interference and related matters.
Russian hackers sourced the Democratic material published by WikiLeaks, according to U.S. officials. Mr. Mueller's office is investigating matters including whether anyone involved in Mr. Trump's campaign coordinated in their release.
Mr. Stone has repeatedly denied involvement.

Trump's Legal Team Just Gave Stormy Daniels $780,000 Worth Of Bad News
President Donald Trump's legal team asked a court on Monday for just shy of $800,000 in penalties and lawyers' fees from adult-film star Stormy Daniels for the failed defamation lawsuit she brought against the president.
According to Fox News, Trump's legal team is coming after Daniels big time after they were forced to spend several months fighting her in court.
Who would win a 2020 election match-up: Trump or Biden?
Attorney Charles Harder, who is part of Trump's legal team, said his firm spent over 500 hours on the case, which resulted in almost $390,000 is legal fees for Trump.
Harder also requested in court that the judge award an equal amount in sanctions to combat against a "repeat filer or frivolous defamation cases."
Harder is requesting $390,000 in legal fees and then an additional $390,000 in penalties, bringing the total to $780,000.
"This action is virtually unprecedented in American legal history," Harder wrote in the court filings, adding that Daniels "not only brought a meritless claim for defamation against the sitting president of the United States, but she also has engaged, along with her attorney, in massive national publicity."
VOTER POLL: Does Trump have your vote in 2020?
Judge S. James Otero, who presides over the case, admitted that Harder's fees - as much as $840 an hour - were reasonable, but reportedly raised questions about the 500 hours that were spent on the case.
Otero also reportedly didn't make a ruling or express an opinion on Harder requesting penalties, but he did question whether attorneys' fees alone would serve as a deterrent from future defamation cases against Trump.
Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, called the penalties "absurd and outrageous."
"You can't just pick a number out of thin air in an effort to put my client under Donald Trump's thumb and intimidate her," Avenatti said.
POLL: Would you choose ALEX JONES or JIM ACOSTA to get press credentials?
Avenatti has faced legal trouble of his own recently.
Earlier this month, he was arrested over domestic violence allegations. Before that, he was ordered to pay $4.85 million to his former law firm partner who he refused to pay for years.
Daniels' profile skyrocketed after she claimed that she had an affair with Trump in 2006. Daniels is currently locked in a court battle with Trump and Michael Cohen, the president's former personal attorney, over the nondisclosure agreement she signed in late 2016.
The president has vehemently denied the affair and is fighting it out in court.
She filed a defamation suit against Trump earlier this year and attempted to sue him after the president responded via Twitter to a sketch Daniels released.
The sketch showed the man Daniels claims "threatened" her years ago to stay quiet about the alleged affair. The alleged man has not been identified, and Trump tweeted about it in April.
Otero ruled in October that Trump's statement on Twitter was "rhetorical hyperbole" against a political adversary and was protected speech under the First Amendment.
The judge also ruled that Trump is entitled to legal fees, which is what Daniels and Avenatti are fighting.
If Trump's legal team is awarded anywhere close to the $780,000 they have requested, that would be a significant victory for the president in the case.

DEVELOPING: Mueller Expected to Recommend Sentencing For Mike Flynn
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is prepping for the end of his Russia probe and will release memos this week about Mike Flynn, Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen.
The deadline for Mueller to file a memo recommending sentencing for General Mike Flynn is Tuesday, reported Fox News.
Memos about Manafort and Cohen are expected to be released Friday.
The court filing should shed light on Flynn's cooperation so far with the Special Counsel.
The Special Counsel has delayed General Flynn's sentencing for a year saying "due to status" of the investigation.
Flynn pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the FBI last December after he was ambushed by agents without his lawyer.
The Deep State wiretapped then-National Security Advisor Mike Flynn's phone calls to Russian Ambassador Kislyak during the Trump transition - then leaked his calls to the media.
Congressional investigators also believe the 302's summary reports the FBI agents took while interviewing Mike Flynn in January of 2017 were altered.
President Trump should pardon Mike Flynn, a three-star General who served the United States with honor for decades.

Special counsel will make Manafort memo public by Friday, spokesman says
Special counsel Robert Mueller's team is poised to make public a sentencing memo about former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort by Friday, special counsel spokesman Peter Carr told Yahoo News on Monday.
Mueller is also set to release memos about former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen this week, which are all likely to provide greater insight into the inner workings of the special counsel's probe into possible ties between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign.
Prosecutors on Mueller's team have been telling defense lawyers that they are "tying up loose ends" in the investigation, which has been going on for more than a year, Yahoo News reported.
Carr declined to comment to The Hill.
Some have speculated that Mueller would keep Manafort's memo under seal in order to avoid the public disclosure of additional crimes that Mueller believes Manafort committed.
But Carr told Yahoo News that Manafort's memo will be released publicly, though some parts might be redacted.
The government last week accused Manafort in court filings of breaching his plea deal, saying he "committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsel's Office on a variety of subject matters, which constitute breaches of the agreement." Manafort's defense attorneys denied the allegation.
A Northern Virginia jury over the summer convicted Manafort of eight counts of bank and tax fraud. Manafort then agreed to plead guilty to two felony charges and cooperate with Mueller's investigation.
Cohen last week pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the Trump Organization's efforts to build a skyscraper in Russia, an element of Mueller's investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign. Cohen said that he had discussed the matter with Trump farther into 2016 than he initially told Congress.
Cohen over the summer also pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, claiming that he violated campaign law at the direction of a federal candidate who later became president.
Flynn pleaded guilty last December to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and also agreed to cooperate with Mueller's investigation.

Mueller preparing endgame for Russia investigation
WASHINGTON - Special counsel Robert Mueller's prosecutors have told defense lawyers in recent weeks that they are "tying up loose ends" in their investigation, providing the clearest clues yet that the long-running probe into Russia's interference in the 2016 election may be coming to its climax, potentially in the next few weeks, according to multiple sources close to the matter.
The new information about the state of Mueller's investigation comes during a pivotal week when the special counsel's prosecutors are planning to file memos about three of their most high profile defendants - former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former Trump personal lawyer Michael Cohen.
A Flynn sentencing memo is due Tuesday, and memos about Manafort and Cohen are slated for Friday. All three documents are expected to yield significant new details on what cooperation the three of them provided to the Russia investigation.
There has been much speculation that Mueller might file his memo in Manafort's case under seal in order to prevent public disclosure of the additional crimes his office believes Manafort committed when he allegedly lied to prosecutors and broke a plea deal after agreeing to cooperate.
But Peter Carr, spokesman for the special counsel, confirmed to Yahoo News on Monday that the Manafort memo "will be public," although he added there could be some portions that are redacted or filed as a sealed addendum. The Manafort memo has been requested by the federal judge in his case so that prosecutors could, for the first time, spell out what matters they believe Manafort has lied to them about.
The fact that Mueller is planning a public filing about Manafort suggests he may no longer feel the need to withhold information about his case in order to bring additional indictments against others. That would be consistent with messages his prosecutors have given defense lawyers in recent weeks indicating that they are in the endgame of their investigation.

"The American people deserve to know how much of the Trump-Russia probe was the result of agent provocateurs and political muckrakers and FISA cheaters, and how much was legitimate law enforcement work," Solomon said.
The FISA reference was to the Obama Justice Department's use of the "Steele dossier" of unsubstantiated political dirt on Trump funded by the Clinton campaign to obtain a warrant from a FISA intelligence court to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016.
Solomon said his interviews with more than 50 witnesses in the Trump case and reviews of hundreds of pages of court filings confirm, among other things, that nearly all of the contacts "involved the same overture - a discussion about possible political dirt or stolen emails harmful to Hillary Clinton, or unsolicited business in London or Moscow."
Several of the contacts occurred before the FBI formally launched a legally authorized probe alleged Trump collusion on July 31, 2016.
The recipients of the overtures are well known, including Paul Manafort, Donald Trump Jr., Michael Cohen, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn, Sam Clovis and Roger Stone.
Some of the instigators also are known: Professor Stefan Halper, Russian businessman Hank Greenberg, former MI6 agent Christopher Steele and former FBI informer Felix Sater.
Solomon pointed out that Trump campaign figures were contacted by at least two Russian figures along with intelligence or diplomatic figures connected to two of America's closest allies, Britain and Australia.
"The chances that so many would converge into then-candidate Donald Trump's circle, in such a short period around an election, are about as rare as winning the Mega Millions lottery," Solomon concluded. "In other words, most were not coincidences. A few, maybe, but not all."

For Trump, Cohen Plea Deal's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Exoneration
Contrary to media speculation that Robert Mueller is closing in on President Trump, the special prosecutor's plea deal with Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen offers further evidence that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russians during the 2016 election, according to congressional investigators and former prosecutors.

Mueller Withheld "Details That Would Exonerate The President" Of Having Kremlin Backchannel
It appears that special counsel Robert Mueller withheld key information in its plea deal with Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, which would exonerate Trump and undermine the entire purpose of the special counsel, according to Paul Sperry of RealClearInvestigations.
Cohen pleaded guilty last week to lying to the Senate intelligence committee in 2017 about the Trump Organization's plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow - telling them under oath that negotiations he was conducting ended five months sooner than they actually did.
Mueller, however, in his nine-page charging document filed with the court seen by Capitol Hill sources, failed to include the fact that Cohen had no direct contacts at the Kremlin - which undercuts any notion that the Trump campaign had a "backchannel" to Putin.
On page 7 of the statement of criminal information filed against Cohen, which is separate from but related to the plea agreement, Mueller mentions that Cohen tried to email Russian President Vladimir Putin's office on Jan. 14, 2016, and again on Jan. 16, 2016. But Mueller, who personally signed the document, omitted the fact that Cohen did not have any direct points of contact at the Kremlin, and had resorted to sending the emails to a general press mailbox. Sources who have seen these additional emails point out that this omitted information undercuts the idea of a "back channel" and thus the special counsel's collusion case. -RCI
Page 2 of the same charging document offers further evidence that there was no connection between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin; an August 2017 letter from Cohn to the Senate intelligence committee states that Trump "was never in contact with anyone about this [Moscow Project] proposal other than me," an assertion which Mueller does not contest as false - which means that "prosecutors have tested its veracity through corroborating sources" and found it to be truthful, according to Sperry's sources. Also unchallenged by Mueller is Cohen's statement that he "ultimately determined that the proposal was not feasible and never agreed to make a trip to Russia."
"Though Cohen may have lied to Congress about the dates," one Hill investigator said, "it's clear from personal messages he sent in 2015 and 2016 that the Trump Organization did not have formal lines of communication set up with Putin's office or the Kremlin during the campaign. There was no secret 'back channel.'"
"So as far as collusion goes," the source added, "the project is actually more exculpatory than incriminating for Trump and his campaign." -RCI
The Trump Tower Moscow meeting - spearheaded by New York real estate developer and longtime FBI and CIA asset, Felix Sater, bears a passing resemblance to the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between members of the Trump campaign and a Russian attorney (who hated Trump), and which was set up by a British concert promotor tied to Fusion GPS - the firm Hillary Clinton's campaign paid to write the salacious and unverified "Trump-Russia Dossier."

"Specifically, we have learned that the person who sought the meeting is associated with Fusion GPS, a firm which according to public reports, was retained by Democratic operatives to develop opposition research on the president and which commissioned the phony Steele dossier" -Washington Post
In both the Trump Tower meeting and the Trump Tower Moscow negotiations, it is clear that nobody in the Trump campaign had any sort of special access to the Kremlin, while Cohen's emails and text messages reveal that he failed to establish contact with Putin's spokesman. He did, however, reach a desk secretary in the spokesman's office.
What's more, it was Sater - a Russian immigrant with a dubious past who was representing the Bayrock Group (and not the Trump Organization), who cooked up the Moscow Trump Tower project in 2015 - suggesting that Trump would license his name to the project and share in the profits, but not actually commit capital or build the project…

Fima Shusterman, father-in-law of President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen, reportedly loaned at least $20 million to a Chicago taxicab mogul.
That cab operator, Yasya Shtayner, and her husband Semyon, are reportedly mentioned in search warrants that were used to raid Cohen's residence and office last week in New York City.
Prosecutors also sought documents related to Cohen's payment of $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels right before the 2016 presidential election that Trump won.

John Solomon Bombshell: At Least 6 Deep State Operatives Attempted to Infiltrate Trump Camp During 2016 Election
John Solomon dropped another bombshell Friday on the historic Obama Spygate scandal.
According to Solomon, there were at least six different Deep State operatives who attempted to infiltrate and set up the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
Recent documents also revealed the Obama deep state operatives contacted Trump campaign officials in Great Britain prior to the launch of any FBI investigation.
On Friday night John Solomon teased his latest breaking report on Hannity. Solomon said at least six operatives were used by the Deep State to infiltrate the Trump campaign. The operatives were sent out BEFORE the official FBI investigation of Trump was launched in July 2016.
John Solomon at The Hill reported:
Interviews with more than 50 witnesses in the Trump case and reviews of hundreds of pages of court filings confirm the following:
At least six people with long-established ties to the FBI or to U.S. and Western intelligence made entrees to key figures in the Trump business organization or his presidential campaign between March and October 2016;
Campaign figures were contacted by at least two Russian figures whose justification for being in the United States were rare law enforcement parole visas controlled by the U.S. Justice Department;

Intelligence or diplomatic figures connected to two of America's closest allies, Britain and Australia, gathered intelligence or instigated contacts with Trump campaign figures during that same period;
Some of the conversations and contacts that were monitored occurred on foreign soil and resulted in the creation of transcripts;
Nearly all of the contacts involved the same overture - a discussion about possible political dirt or stolen emails harmful to Hillary Clinton, or unsolicited business in London or Moscow;
Several of the contacts occurred before the FBI formally launched a legally authorized probe into the Trump campaign and possible collusion on July 31, 2016.
The recipients of these overtures are all household names, thanks to the infamy of the now very public probe - Paul Manafort, Donald Trump Jr., Michael Cohen, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn, Sam Clovis and Roger Stone, to name a few.
Some of the instigators of the contacts have been acknowledged in public: Professor Stefan Halper, Russian businessman Hank Greenberg, former MI6 agent Christopher Steele and former FBI informer Felix Sater, who is "Individual 2" identified in the Cohen plea deal this week.
Others I identified through interviews, but U.S. officials have asked me to keep them private

Adam Schiff: Trump Is 'Compromised' by Russian Ties - 'That Puts Our Country At Risk'
Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said President Donald Trump and his organization "were compromised" by business dealing with Russia.
Schiff said, "The very broad significance here is that there is now testimony there is now a witness who confirms that in the same way Michael Flynn was compromised that the president and his business are compromised. The national security, former national security adviser Michael Flynn was compromised because he was saying things publicly that were not true about discussions with the Russians over sanctions. Now we have Michael Cohen saying that what the president was saying, what Michael Cohen was saying, and others were saying about hen this business deal ended was not true. And what's more, the Russians knew it wasn't true. At the same time Donald Trump was the presumptive nominee of the GOP and arguing in favor of doing away with sanctions, he was working on a deal that would require doing away with sanctions for him to make money in Russia. That is a real problem. That means that the compromise is far broader than we thought."
He added, "The Mueller investigation as was the Comey investigation was a counterintelligence investigation, an investigation into whether Donald Trump and his organization were compromised. And now via Michael Cohen, we find out that, yes, there was compromise. That puts our country at risk."

Donna Brazile: Cohen Guilty Plea a 'Smoking Gun'
Sunday on ABC's "This Week," former interim Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile said President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen guilty plea was a "smoking gun."
Brazile said, "Michael Cohen once boasted he would take a bullet for Donald Trump. This week, he delivered the smoking gun."
She continued, "Oh, yeah. That's the smoking gun because once again, he said, what I provided before was consistent with what the president wanted me to say because I wanted to stay loyal to the president. Smoking gun saying, he said essentially that the White House, the president was lying at the time that he had no business dealing with Russia when he was looking to strike a deal with Russia on a tower."

The nothing burger
Russian spokesperson Dmitry Peskov revealed on Saturday that Michael Cohen stopped contacting him about Trump building a property in Moscow
Peskov showed reporters at the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires on Friday two emails from Cohen asking for a meeting with Putin officials. Dates weren't shown
Peskov said Putin's administration called Cohen and told him they did not deal with construction, and then he didn't hear from Cohen again
Cohen pleaded guilty on Thursday to lying about when he stopped trying to negotiate building a Trump Tower in Russia, first saying it was in January 2016
But Cohen admitted to working towards the project in June of 2016, after Trump had clinched the Republican nomination for presidential candidacy
Peskov described the end of contact with the euphemism, 'they did disappear'

Rudy Giuliani accused special counsel Robert Mueller of seeking to undermine President Donald Trump's G20 summit in Argentina this week because of the drama surrounding former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's guilty plea in response to Mueller's court charge on Thursday.
Trump left Thursday for the high-stakes two-day summit in Buenos Aires with key world leaders.
Cohen pleaded guilty on the same day to lying to Congress about his business dealings with Russia and the Trump Organization during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Giuliani, now a member of Trump's legal team, blasted Cohen as a "liar" in a statement obtained by NBC News' Hallie Jackson and criticized Mueller for the timing of this new development in his Russian collusion probe.
"NEW / statement from Rudy Giuliani related to Cohen plea deal. It begins: 'BREAKING NEWS ALERT: Michael Cohen is a liar,'" Jackson tweeted with a picture of the statement.

Michael Cohen Asks Judge For No Prison Time, Citing Extensive Cooperation In Mueller Probe
Michael Cohen is asking a judge to sentence him to time-served in his various cases before the special counsel and federal prosecutors in Manhattan.
The former Trump lawyer argues his extensive cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller warrants a light sentence.
In a court filing submitted Friday, Cohen's lawyers reveal new details about his cooperation with Mueller.
Lawyers for Michael Cohen on Friday argued the former Trump attorney should not face jail time, citing his extensive cooperation with the special counsel's office and federal prosecutors in Manhattan.
Cohen's attorneys argued in a late-night court filing the longtime Trump booster lied to Congress in order to remain consistent with his former boss's downplaying of contacts with Russia during the campaign. They also asserted Cohen orchestrated illegal campaign contributions in the form of payments to alleged Trump mistresses in order to protect the former real estate mogul.
The thrust of Cohen's argument for leniency is his extensive cooperation in the "unique" circumstances in which the special counsel's investigation is operating.
Cohen's lawyers, Guy Petrillo and Amy Lester, asserted Cohen's cooperation helped legitimize an investigation that is under constant attack by Trump. They also argue Cohen is cooperating even though Trump reportedly suggested in private he is willing to pardon associates ensnared in the special counsel's probe.
"He could have fought the government and continued to hold to the party line, positioning himself perhaps for a pardon or clemency, but, instead - for himself, his family, and his country - he took personal responsibility for his own wrongdoing and contributed, and is prepared to continue to contribute, to an investigation that he views as thoroughly legitimate and vital," asserted Cohen's lawyers, Guy Petrillo and Amy Lester.
Trump responded to Cohen's plea deal Thursday, calling his former lawyer a "weak person" who is angling for a light jail sentence.
"He's lying about a project that everybody knew about," Trump told reporters.
Cohen pleaded guilty in the special counsel's investigation Thursday to one charge of lying to Congress about the extent of his work to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. He pleaded guilty Aug. 21 in an investigation in New York to tax evasion and making illegal campaign contributions. Cohen made the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, the porn star who claims she had an affair with Trump in 2006.
Petrillo and Lester argued Cohen's tax evasion was unsophisticated. They listed several celebrities in Friday's filing who they claim avoided paying taxes in the same manner as Cohen who avoided jail time.

Former Trump lawyer Cohen asks for no prison time
Dec. 1 (UPI) – Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, has asked if a federal judge can opt against sentencing him to prison, citing his cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Cohen's lawyers filed the request in a memorandum late Friday night citing his contrition and cooperation with Mueller's investigation.

Q Research General #5210: NO FURTHER DETAILS SHOULD BE RELEASED Edition
Putin Spokesman Shares 2016 Emails From Michael Cohen
It's still unclear whether President Trump and President Vladimir Putin will meet at the G-20 this weekend (the prospects for a meeting have been repeatedly confirmed and denied by both sides), but there's little doubt that, back in Washington, the talk of the town will focus on whether Michael Cohen's guilty plea represents an important turning point in the Russia collusion investigation (as the Washington Post suggested in a Page 1 story published in Friday's paper).
But as Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani confirmed yesterday in an interview with the New York Times (and as the president himself told a group of reporters before departing for Argentina), the Cohen story is really just more of the same.
And as if the media needed more evidence that the Trump Tower Moscow controversy has already been litigated in the public eye, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday offered a quick reminder when he showed two of Cohen's emails to a group of reporters, confirming a 15-month old report that Cohen had reached out to him to ask for help with facilitating the project (none was offered, and the project was eventually abandoned), the Daily Mail reported.
As a reminder, here's what Peskov and Cohen said about Cohen's 'contact' with the Kremlin at the time (per CNN). Cohen has since admitted to lying about the talks ending in January 2016, and has instead claimed that they continued - with the president's involvement at times - until the summer of 2017.
"This email said that a certain Russian company together with certain individuals is pursuing the goal of building a skyscraper in the 'Moscow City' district, but things aren't going well and they asked for help with some advice on moving this project forward," Peskov said. "But, since, I repeat again, we do not react to such business topics – this is not our work – we left it unanswered."
He added: "We cannot discuss with President Putin hundreds and thousands of different requests, which, by the way, come from a variety of countries."
Cohen revealed Monday that he had made the overture to Moscow at a point well into Trump's presidential campaign.
"The Trump Moscow proposal was simply one of many development opportunities that the Trump Organization considered and ultimately rejected," Cohen said in a written statement.
"In late January 2016, I abandoned the Moscow proposal because I lost confidence that the prospective licensee would be able to obtain the real estate, financing and government approvals necessary to bring the proposal to fruition," he added. "It was a building proposal that did not succeed and nothing more."

- Question: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-exclusive-dni-to-schiff-the-transcripts-are-ready-to-release Sorry, Adam, but the game is now over [it doesn't end here]. Locked on target. [it takes time to remove/install the right people [sleepers]] We are ready.
Answer: WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Byron York's Daily Memo: EXCLUSIVE - DNI to Schiff: The transcripts are ready to release by Byron York | May 06, 2020 08:09 AM DNI TO SCHIFF: THE TRANSCRIPTS ARE READY TO RELEASE. A big development in the fight over 53 secret interviews the House Intelligence Committee conducted during its Trump-Russia investigation. Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has sent a letter to chairman Adam Schiff notifying him that transcripts of all 53 interviews, over 6,000 pages in all, have been cleared for public release. "All of the transcripts, with our required redactions, can be released to the public without any concerns of disclosing classified material," Grenell wrote to Schiff in a letter dated May 4. The Intel Committee did the first probe into Russia's 2016 campaign interference and allegations of Trump-Russia collusion. Even today, its findings make up most of what we know about the affair. As part of that investigation -- it was run by then-majority Republicans -- the committee interviewed some key witnesses in the Trump-Russia matter: Donald Trump Jr., Steve Bannon, Andrew McCabe, Sally Yates, Michael Cohen, Hope Hicks, and many more. The interviews were conducted in secret. [...] Now, in May 2020, they're still secret. [...] In the letter, Grenell revealed that the 43 transcripts have been finished since June 2019. Schiff has been sitting on them all that time. Grenell said the final ten have just been finished as well. "I urge you to honor your previous public statements, and your committee's unanimous vote on this matter, to release all 53 cleared transcripts to Members of Congress and the American public as soon as possible," Grenell said. Just in case Schiff is still not interested, Grenell added, "I am also willing to release the transcripts directly from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, as to ensure we comply with the unanimous and bipartisan vote to release the transcripts." One more thing. In March 2019 -- that was when Democrats were newly in charge of the House and considering impeaching President Trump over the Russia matter -- Schiff requested that the DNI "under no circumstances...share House Intelligence Committee transcripts with the White House, President Trump, or any persons associated with the White House or President." The next move is up to Schiff.
