Of course it is anything like Cohen Congress will be sure to act swiftly!
Eric Swalwell told @maddow tonight that the House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a meeting tomorrow on Hillary Clinton's emails. The day after Michael Cohen's plea agreement, that's what was scheduled.

I swear it is like they think Hillary won...they had a whole play book in mind to destroy her including having it be rigged. Problem is she lost and they have no other plans so they go forward with the same plan."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

NEW YORK (AP) — The National Enquirer kept a safe containing documents on hush money payments and other damaging stories it killed as part of its cozy relationship with Donald Trump leading up to 2016 presidential election, people familiar with the arrangement told The AP.

No competent prosecutor would ever offer a deal in return for accusations, not even for accusations under oath. If you want a deal, you'd better be able to provide *evidence* of a crime. No prosecutor is going to give up his jailbird-in-hand just so he can get into a he-said-she-said stalemate with the bigger fish.If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

For the most part you're right though.If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

Re: POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen
Yeah and judges dont like jailhouse informants too much because credibility is an issue since, you know, they are criminals. There has to be more than just heresay there needs to be evidence to back up the heresay."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Sure, just words, since that guy's never been in that basement, but easily verified as true or false. I don't think anyone could get a deal by claiming that thier cellmate was the real Jack the Ripper.

Originally posted by trixR4kids View PostI'm not going to pretend to know how common it is but there are a number of people who have been convicted on faulty information provided by jailhouse snitches that could've discredited by a more competent lawyer. Like I said though this is generally in cases where the person on trial doesn't have access to good legal help or their lawyer is just an idiot. In Cohen/Dump's case it's highly doubtful that he doesn't have useful information that can help the prosecution."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Originally posted by St. Clown View PostImmunity is often dependent upon the "snitch" providing truthful information. If the person intentionally misleads, or is found to have been withholding vital details, then immunity can be revoked. There may also be different types of deals about which I'm unaware, as I won't pretend to be a lawyer.
I see them trying to just poke holes in dumpy's constant likes and adjustments to what happened. It's amazing that they have let this go on that badly, as all it ends up doing is adding to possible obstruction problems- every point the excuse changes, or more correctly, the cover up changes.
