Trump urges 'full sentence' for his ex-lawyer Cohen in Russia probe

Trump constantly running his mouth is merely giving Mueller more evidence. It's too funny.

I don’t know – it’s hard for me to see any U.S. ties to Russia…except for the Flynn things 

and the Manafort thing 

and the Tillerson thing 

and the Sessions thing 

and the Kushner thing 

and the Carter Page thing 

and the Roger Stone thing 

and the Felix Sater thing 

and the Boris Ephsteyn thing 

and the Rosneft thing 

and the Gazprom thing 

and the Sergey Gorkov banker thing 

and the Azerbaijan thing 

and the “I love Putin” thing 

and the Donald Trump, Jr. thing 

and the Sergey Kislyak thing 

and the Russian Affiliated Interests thing 

and the Russian Business Interests thing 

and the Emoluments Clause thing 

and the Alex Schnaider thing 

and the hack of the DNC thing 

and the Guccifer 2.0 thing 

and the Mike Pence “I don’t know anything” thing 

and the Russians mysteriously dying thing  

and Trump’s public request to Russia to hack Hillary’s email

thing 

and the Trump house sale for $100 million at the bottom of the housing bust to

the Russian fertilizer king thing 

and the Russian fertilizer king’s plane showing up in Concord, NC during Trump

rally campaign thing 

and the Nunes sudden flight to the White House in the night thing 

and the Nunes personal investments in the Russian winery thing 

and the Wilbur Ross with his Cyprus bank thing  

and Trump not releasing his tax returns thing 

and the Republican Party’s rejection of an amendment to require Trump to show

his taxes thing 

and the election hacking thing 

and the GOP platform change to the Ukraine thing 

and the Steele Dossier thing 

and the Leninist Bannon thing 

and the Sally Yates can’t testify thing 

and the Sally Yates firing thing* 

and the intelligence community’s investigative reports thing  

and Trump’s reassurance that the Russian connection is all

“fake news” thing  

and Spicer’s Russian Dressing “nothing’s wrong” thing  

and Trump warning the Russians  

and Syrians before the Bombing thing* 

and the Trump refusing to provide Flynn's foreign ties documents to Congress

thing*  

and Flynn's illegal Turkish lobbying was paid for the

Russians thing*  

and Flynn's illegal lobbying for Russia thing* 

and the Trump asking Comey for a "loyalty oath" thing*  

and Trump lying to the world about Comey saying he's not

being investigated thing* 

and the Trump firing Comey thing* 

and the Trump or stooges lying to the world about why he fired Comey with 3

different lies*  

and Trump hosting Russian foreign minister  

and ambassador one day after to demonstrate his authoritarian

street cred* 

and the finding out that Trump actually tried to fire Robert Mueller in June

2017 thing 

and the claim by trump that the Russia investigation is over some unrefunded

golf club fees to Robert Mueller thing... 

and the lying to the American public during the campaign about have no business in Russia thing...  

So there’s probably nothing, all of this must be normal, just a bunch of separate dots with no connection whatsoever.

For those who have not seen it before, this is what witness tampering looks like. 

I didn’t think Trump knew what a “complete sentence” was!

Cohen goes down and Podesta is next.

Cohen goes down and Podesta is next.

Quick, trot out a conspiracy theory to deflect from Trump's woes!

"'Michael Cohen asks judge for no Prison Time'. 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?" Trump said. "He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence."

This President is criticizing someone for lying? Really? To quote Sean Spicer, "you can't make this stuff up"....

George Conway, who is married to senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, retweeted Trump's tweet with a reference to a U.S. statute on witness tampering and obstruction of justice:"File under '18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1512.'" ...

You're on the money George but I'd have someone else taste your wife's cooking before you do...

"I think it is both obstruction and witness tampering," said Lisa Kern Griffin, a former federal prosecutor and law professor at Duke University. "He (Trump) is attempting to influence an ongoing investigation in an overt way."

Donnie digging his hole even deeper...he's just handing Mueller evidence to use against him...

It is highly inappropriate for a president to insert himself into a judicial process, said Jens Ohlin, a professor at Cornell Law School. "He’s not just a regular person. He’s the head of the executive branch."

Actually he's an imposter posing as the head of the Executive Branch...and soon he'll be just a number at Leavenworth...

“I will never testify against Trump.” 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!”

Chip - nice list, though I don't recognize about half of them. Reputable references please?

Ah, so he won't be saying "witch hunt" on this one I guess.

Testifying against Trump has nothing to do with the 5th. Unless, of course, you are Trump. Why would Donny be so concerned about his former attorney or friends not having guts? Hmmmmm

though I don't recognize about half of them. Reputable references please?

Really? Which ones do you not recognize?

Doing research for conservatives is getting old. Open google and paste in the ones you don't recognize.

@Chip star

dont forget about the inviting the Russian media inside the Oval Office thing !

If that ain't being a quisling, then what is?

So Don the Con demands a 'full sentence ' for Cohen for lying?

Well the same for you, Traitor Trump! What IS the penalty for treason and collaboration with a foreign power, anyway?

Whenever people do research they want to be trusted, they maintain reputable references.

For example, I try to stay with recognized news organization reports ... except Fox or CNBC. Can't always do that for regional news overseas, but I try. It isn't hard to find some random idiot with a blog that will say anything online.

Lawyers have legally recognized attorney-client privilege to keep secrets. The instant Cohen revealed anything without his client's approval, he has violated the ethics of his profession and needs to be disbarred.

Any Trump secrets he is keeping are covered by either attorney-client privilege or the right not to incriminate oneself using the 5th amendment. If Cohen was a "fixer", then I have no doubt he did things for Trump without detailed discussions. I also have no doubt that both men belong in jail, but proving it is the job of prosecutors.

He doesn't get to protect non-clients, so if he lied about them, nail him to the fullest extent of the law.

No, not how attorney client privilege works. Do you seriously believe attorney client privilege exists for the purpose commiting crimes? Lol my god, if thats all it takes, we can all hire crooked lawyers to commit crimes at our behest.

But let's make it really hard to do their job.

Chip: "except for the Flynn things 

and the Manafort thing... "

That was some rant, Chip! And after all that, ya forgot the most important one -

and the Mueller probe is the biggest scam in American history thing.

For us people who live in reality, Trump is doing a great job... tax cut, jobs/cash, great picks for judges, building our military... Thank you, President Trump.

the Mueller probe is the biggest scam in American history thing.

Hmmm.

Trump followers keep saying this but can't elucidate exactly why.

For A multitude of reasons, but what gets me is when the report comes out and it won’t until Trump and his lawyers can see it, liberals are doing the exact dumb thing the GOP did in 1998 hoId investigations and then what? The Senate won’t convict then what will the Democrats do when it’s all done and this is all behind them? I deeply worry about these people. How will they move forward and move on?

None that you can give us though.

You think liberals can't move forward and move on but your the guy constantly screeching about Obama and Hillsry. ROFL!

Read the tweet, man. It’s D.J. Trump. He’s not taking the 5th, and he never will. He’s too much of a blowhard.

What are all the Russian collusion brainwashed masses going to do when Mueller finally admits finding no evidence of Trump colluding during the election?
