Prepare for civil unrest if
not war when the real reason this "president" was elected is revealed.
His supporters will not handle it well when they realize they may not be
able to call people their fun names anymore (under the guise of free
speech, of course, where no one is allowed to shout them down). It was
good while it lasted, eh?

Trump knows Mueller is coming for both him and his inner family circle. Republicans know this as well.
Trump & his supporting Republicans could soon be shown to have sold America out. One for profit the other for expediency. Now the question is... will the American people care enough to make it clear to their elected Senators & Congress members... that for the good of America Trump must go... in 2019.

Michael Cohen's new guilty plea was a twist no one saw coming: national security expert
Cohen pleaded guilty Thursday to lying to Senate about Moscow Trump Tower project
Michael Cohen's surprise admission that he was in talks with Russia about building a Trump Tower in Moscow in June 2016 is "politically problematic," says national security law expert Mark Zaid.
Cohen, U.S. President Donald Trump's former lawyer, made a surprise appearance in a New York City court Thursday where he pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about a plan to build the tower in Russia.
Cohen said that among other lies, he told Congress that all discussions of the Moscow Trump Tower project ended by January 2016, when they had actually continued until June of that year, as Trump was securing the Republican nomination for president.
- Michael Cohen pleads guilty to lying to Senate about Trump Tower project in Russia
- Trump slams Cohen, says Moscow project wasn't secret
Zaid, a lawyer who specializes in litigation relating to national security and international transactions and crimes, spoke with As It Happens host Carol Off about what Cohen's admission means for Trump.
Here is part of that conversation.
What have you learned in the statement of Mr. Cohen's ... admission, about the Trump Tower Moscow arrangement that?
I think one of the things that's fascinating is that there were apparently substantive conversations about having Donald Trump actually go visit Moscow, including Putin, post-nomination, post-Republican convention.
But Michael Cohen goes beyond that in saying that he had lied previously and … now saying what he says is the truth. It's not just that the arrangement was a business deal of a hotel. It went beyond that. It was political, right?
There was clear insinuation that this was going to possibly go beyond a Trump hotel or a Trump building, Trump Tower in Moscow, and whether or not the Russians could even do anything to help.
There's no specifics that were made privy to as to what those details might be, what kind of help the Russians could provide, what other matters might have been on the table.
But you can certainly insinuate when Donald Trump was about to be the nominee for the Republican presidency that it had something to do with politics well beyond just finances.
Cohen had previously said that he never actually had a conversation with a key member of the Putin administration, a man named Dmitry Peskov. He's now changed that information. What we have now learned about how much contact he had with Mr. Peskov?
Apparently, he had quite a number of contacts.
It further shows not just the depth of contact with Russian government officials in the inner circle of Vladimir Putin, but that it continued most importantly through the political process when Trump was running for the nomination.
So that brings the bar closer to the possibility of any type of collusion.
Supposedly, at least from what we have seen from the documents that have been released by the special counsel's office, it was done in order to protect the president.
And I should say, at least in looking through the information that was released, it doesn't look on its face that any of these negotiations with Russia about possible business dealings that anything around those were illegal or problematic.
It was politically problematic and the illegality of the conduct arose from Michael Cohen lying about it before Congress, which is a federal offence.
All of this is damning, except where's the connection between this and Mr. Trump? How do we know that Donald Trump actually knew about any of this?
We've not seen any documents yet that have Trump himself on them. It may come through other testimony that comes about from other people, whether through other plea arrangements, if that's how it goes, or trials or testimony that's already been given.
But right now we have, at least from today, an indication that when Michael Cohen said he had only spoken to individual one — who is clearly Donald Trump in this charging document — that he'd only spoken to him on three occasions, that that was a lie.
I think one of the things that today's plea signified is that anyone who keeps saying we're at the end or there's nothing new to be found or will be revealed ... doesn't really know what they're talking about.
Who thought that Michael Cohen was going to have another guilty plea in connection to this investigation?
It's yet to be seen, frankly, what the final picture will be. The picture can be legal. It can be political. It could become both.

'The noose is tightening': 5 takeaways from Michael Cohen's plea deal — and what it means for Trump
Timing of the plea agreement was 'linked to Trump's answers' to Robert Mueller, legal expert says
There is perhaps no witness more threatening to Donald Trump right now in the Russia collusion probe than the man who once claimed he would "take a bullet" for the celebrity billionaire-turned-president of the United States.
Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty in a U.S. Federal Court on Thursday, admitting to lying to Congress last year about a Trump Tower real estate deal in Moscow that was in the works in 2016.
Cohen testified before the Senate intelligence committee in August 2017 that he broke off talks on the so-called Russia project in January of 2016, months before the Iowa caucuses and the first Republican presidential primary. But prosecutors discovered the business project was actually discussed well into June of that year.
Trump's former right-hand man now admits the Trump-Russia business talks continued through that summer, and he says Trump and some of his family members knew about it.
Cohen's new statement came as part of a plea deal he cut with special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating possible Trump campaign involvement with Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The deal is a coup for Mueller's team — and not just because of Cohen's 10 years of service as Trump's fixer.
Here are a few key takeaways:
1) This is now a Mueller case
Those earlier charges, which would ultimately appear to implicate Trump in campaign finance violations over payouts to adult-film star Stormy Daniels and ex-Playmate Karen McDougal, had been handed off to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. That's because they didn't directly pertain to Mueller's investigation into Trump-Russia matters
This time is different. Thursday's development brings Cohen into Mueller's fold.
"The other thing this tells us is that Mueller believes that lies to Congress concerning Russia-related matters are within the scope of his inquiries," said Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor. "You can imagine that poses a problem for other people who potentially lied to Congress about this sort of stuff."
2) Trump's family is implicated
Legal experts say Trump's eldest son, Donald Jr., might have particular cause for concern given Mueller's obvious interest in the veracity of testimony before Congress.
Asked by the Senate judiciary committee in May about conversations regarding a potential Moscow deal, Donald Trump Jr. said he knew "very little" about the negotiations, though he did state his belief that Cohen was negotiating with Felix Sater, a Russian-born convicted felon and Trump associate, "in 2015."
"I wasn't involved," he insisted at one point. Democrats accused him of making false statements.
Several close associates of the president's, including Cohen, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and author and birther conspiracist Jerome Corsi, have already talked to Mueller.
"The fact that so many people around Don Jr. have talked to Mueller except for Don Jr., that sort of leaves him hanging on the branch," said Julie Grohovsky, a former prosecutor who worked in Mueller's office at the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C.
"I would be very, very worried if I were Don Jr."
3) Cohen is a 'big get' as a co-operating witness
Page 4 of the plea agreement says it is conditional on Cohen continuing "to respond and provide truthful information."
Given Cohen's years of service with Trump, Grohovsky believes few witnesses would be more crucial to Mueller's investigation than Cohen, and few people could put the president in greater peril as a witness to how Trump has done business over the last decade.
Cohen has reportedly spent more than 70 hours speaking with Mueller's team.
"He's huge. He's a big get. He was in the room for many things that happened," Grohovsky said of Trump's former personal attorney. "If it's true that some of the things he taped, or had documents to reference, obviously his testimony is important. He can point the Mueller team to other people in the room. He can prove a meeting occurred and produce an airline ticket or a hotel reservation."
If Cohen manages to co-operate — unlike Manafort, who allegedly breached his plea deal — he might be able to avoid a prison sentence.
As for President Trump, Grohovksy took his attack on Cohen as a "liar" to be evidence of "full-blown panic mode" over news that one of his closest associates has flipped.
"What we're seeing is somebody who is seeing the noose is tightening," she said.
4) The timing might not be a coincidence
Mueller played this out well, legal experts say. Just last week, President Trump submitted written responses to the special counsel's queries related to his dealings with Russians and possible Kremlin interference with the election.
"It seems the timing of this was linked to Trump's answers to the questions, just because the two things happened so close in time," said Harry Sandick, a former assistant U.S. attorney with the Southern District of New York.
The timeline means Mueller never had to tip his hand to Trump's legal team or signal what information he'd already gathered.
Friends, no coincidence that the Cohen deal implicating Trump personally in Russia contacts during campaign is announced just AFTER Mueller locked Trump in on collusion in writing--& just BEFORE Trump will be face to face with Putin. As I have said all along: Bob loves surprises
Not only did the special counsel likely wait until after the midterm elections to announce the plea deal with Cohen — thereby avoiding any possibility he could be accused of interfering with the outcome of the election — Mueller also appears to have waited until after Trump's answers could be reviewed by his team.
And those answers were submitted under penalty of perjury.
5) Another Kremlin brick in the wall
More recently, court documents revealed that Mueller's team believes Corsi tipped off Trump adviser Roger Stone in August 2016 about WikiLeaks planning to dump "very damaging" material about Clinton that was stolen in a Russia hack.
"Now we're seeing there were just so many different connections between Russia and the Trump campaign," Sandick said. "It's not just one link, it's multiple links, and it's becoming harder for someone who looks at this with an open mind to say there's nothing going on here."

Michael Cohen pleads guilty to lying to Senate about Trump Tower project in Russia
President says Trump Tower project in Moscow not a secret, rules out Putin sideline meeting at G20
Cohen made a surprise appearance Thursday in a New York courtroom at around 9 a.m. ET and began entering the plea.
He admitted to making false statements in 2017 to the Senate intelligence committee about a plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Cohen said that among other lies, he told Congress that all discussions of the Moscow Trump Tower project ended by January 2016, when they had actually continued until June of that year, as Trump was securing the Republican nomination for president.
Putin aware of project: Cohen
Cohen also said he sent an email to the spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of the potential deal.
In his statement, Cohen said he worked on the real estate proposal with Felix Sater, a Russia-born associate who he said claimed to have deep connections in Moscow.

Trump slams Cohen, says Moscow project wasn't secret
'Michael Cohen is lying
and he's trying to get a reduced sentence for things that have nothing
to do with me,' says U.S. President Donald Trump. 0:52
Cohen had also disclosed that Trump was personally aware of the deal, signing a letter of intent and discussing it with Cohen on two other occasions.
Even if he was right, it doesn't matter because I was allowed to do whatever I wanted during the campaign.- Donald TrumpSpeaking to reporters at the White House before departing for the G20 summit in Argentina, Trump called Cohen "a weak person" and said his former lawyer was just trying to finagle a more lenient sentence from prosecutors.
"When I'm running for president, that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to do business," said Trump.
"Even if [Cohen] was right, it doesn't matter because I was allowed to do whatever I wanted during the campaign," he claimed at another point.
Kremlin now says they contacted Cohen
Trump said the potential project was well documented, and he emphasized that the plan was abandoned.
"There was a good chance that I wouldn't have won, in which case I would have gone back into the business and why should I lose lots of opportunities?" Trump said.
Based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, I have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting....
Soon after speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said on Twitter he would not meet Putin separately at the summit, citing Russia's seizure of Ukrainian vessels on Nov. 25.
In a statement, Putin's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Cohen had made contact with the administration about a Trump building project but was told in response, "we have nothing to do with construction issues in the city of Moscow."
Peskov downplayed the Cohen request as one of dozens of emails from around the world we receive every week."
"Because we do not react to such [questions about] business themes, and this is not our job, we left this matter without a response," Peskov said then.
One of the prosecutors working with Mueller was in the courtroom Thursday.
Before Cohen's appearance Thursday, Trump continued his verbal attacks on the legitimacy of Mueller's investigation on social media, calling it a Joseph McCarthy-style witch hunt," in reference to the senator who rooted out Communists in the 1950s.
Democrats want to protect Mueller
On Capitol Hill, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia called it "remarkable that you had the president's personal lawyer still dealing on a Trump Tower project through the whole [presidential] campaign."
Cohen is among a number of people in Trump's orbit who have pleaded guilty to criminal charges. The list also includes his former presidential campaign chair, Paul Manafort, and Manafort's colleague, Rick Gates, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, who began serving a short prison sentence this week.
"There seems to be a trend here amongst so many of the president's closest allies, that they don't tell the truth, although we've also got a White House that seems on a daily basis not to have its facts straight," said Warner, a member of the Senate intelligence committee.
So far, Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell has resisted calls from colleagues to use legislation to theoretically protect Mueller from firing.
"This is a solution in search of a problem," McConnell said on Tuesday. "The president is not going to fire Robert Mueller."
Earlier plea involved payments to women
Cohen pleaded guilty in August to eight separate charges, including campaign finance violations that he said he carried out in co-ordination with Trump.
At that time, Cohen said he secretly used shell companies to make payments used to silence former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult-film actress Stormy Daniels for the purpose of influencing the 2016 election. The women have claimed they had affairs with Trump after the real estate mogul married his third wife, Melania.
Trump has insisted he only found out about the payments after they were made, despite the release of a September 2016 recorded conversation in which Trump and Cohen can be heard discussing a deal to pay McDougal for her story of a 2006 affair.
"It's called flipping and it almost should be illegal," Trump said. "In all fairness to him, most people are going to do that."
The president, in a Fox & Friends interview, downplayed his involvement with Cohen, who worked for him for a decade, saying he was just a "part-time attorney" who had many other clients.
On Thursday, he was asked why he retained Cohen for so long.
"Because a long time ago he did me a favour," Trump said, without offering specifics.
While Trump has mused about not being opposed to offering a presidential pardon to Manafort, Cohen's prosecution at the state level would make him ineligible for a pardon.
1) @MichaelCohen212 this morning reaffirmed what he said last July 2 and told me many times since — that he decided to put his wife, daughter, son and country first. Today he again told the truth and nothing but the truth. @realDonaldTrump called him a liar. Who do you believe?
The latest development comes with the Democrats set to take control of the House in January. The party's leadership has promised to vigorously pursue areas of investigation into Trump's finances and Trump team contacts with foreign actors, having accused the Republicans of choosing party loyalty over proper oversight the past two years.
Reacting to the plea to the new charges, outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Republican, said Cohen "should be prosecuted to the extent of the law. That's why we put people under oath."
Back in Manhattan, Cohen's lawyer, Guy Petrillo, noted that a letter from federal prosecutors showed that Cohen's co-operation with Mueller will be described to Cohen's sentencing judge. However, the letter makes clear that Cohen, 52, is not receiving the kind of "5K1.1" letter written on behalf of formal government co-operators.
Another Cohen lawyer, Lanny Davis, said on Twitter that Cohen "told the truth and nothing but the truth."
