The nutter Trump supporters are out of control. How long until another MAGA Bomber?

Yeah the “threat” of him being sent to jail longer for lying to Congress. The buzzfeed story that would have caused enough doubt for him to be able to lie got blown up.
Blacklabel
Let’s see if he is subpoenaed. If not, means it was all a stunt to begin with. Mueller supposedly has all he needs from Cohen anyway.

Though probably true that Cohen is a rat, Individual 1, aka Don-Jeb, once again uses underworld argot, which is to be expected from the leader of a crime syndicate still under investigation.
Presidential NOT.
Until he flip-flops again and repeats his 'I never said that' mantra.

Yeah, uh-huh....you have to be on serious hallucinogenic if you believe anything Cohen says. The guy is just pure trash, always was and always will be. He and the creepy porn lawyer should start their own TV show. “Idiot lawyers R us.”

We can literally pinpoint when Bass turned on Cohen. Hint: Just after Cohen abandoned Trump and Trump turned in Cohen. ROFL. Smh. LOL! Oh my . . . HAR!

More witness tampering. Basically, Trump tweeted, "Nice family ya got there. It'd be a shame if anything happened to them." No idea what or how Giuliani communicated, but I guess the message was the same.
Cohen is a criminal, and his father in law may well be too. But Trump has broken the law again.

Trump fans tell me that Cohen lied to protect Trump so now he can't be trusted.
Trump lies daily. Can we trust him?
CrazyJoe
It's a sad day in America when a sitting President acts like a Mob Boss, and threatens witnesses to his crimes.
Witness tampering and intimidation from Trump and Giuliani right before our eyes.
Lock those bastards up!

I don't like this re-definition of the world 'lie' for Trump. Lies require knowledge that what is being spoken is a mistruth. If you read through the things Trump 'lies' about, you can see more often than not, they are things he is wrong about, and therefore a mistruth, but we cannot know if he is wilfully speaking said mistruths, or if he is just a moron. The latter seems more likely to me.

Sorry, I never liked or trusted Cohen.
So when you have the Democrats acting like the New York five families, that’s ok? But the Dems have the FBI and the media in their pockets, so they do have some leverage

Trump did for a very long time.
The reasons for that must be a mystery to Trump supporters. I think they are as dodgy and untrustworthy as each other.
A perfect match.

Yeah, uh-huh....you have to be on serious hallucinogenic if you believe anything Trump says. The guy is just pure trash, always was and always will be. He and the creepy ghouliani lawyer should start their own TV show.

"Pelosi is afraid of the Truth"
"Cohen has only been threatened by the Truth"
"I am, the Truth"
-Trump
ClippetyClop
Yet you blindly supported him through his Trumptime crimes simply because he was on the team. Once you leave the Trump reservation, you get assigned a new monocle; 'creepy', 'corrupt' etc
Strangerland
So was Trump a fool for trusting him?

Just a reminder of what you thought about Cohen just nine months ago:
Keep on truckin' !

These two dumb guys may want to read 18 U.S. Code § 1512 - Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant.

Let's evaluate this statement;
One lawyer was Trump's personal attorney, "fixer" and close confidant for 10 years...
The other lawyer represented the women that Trump had a affair with (and paid off)...
What do these two lawyers have in common - one Creepy Porn Adultery President...
Or said in another way, please don't go through my archive and point out my brazen hypocrisy for all to see....

Interesting move, but this sitting President or his lawyer who have so much political enemies, would not make any threats of that kind. They have more to lose.
They do not have a personal "target" or "kill list" as Obama did and in fact "declared" that he did for nation's enemies domestic or abroad. Trump has a direct and open way (Tweet) to tell things like it is and call people "names" but not threaten them.
bass4funk
I don’t know about all that, Cohen did things all by his greedy self. He made his bed, now he wants to get off by any means necessary.
All before he was President, unlike the one that really perjured himself for violating the Oval Office, so now it became a public matter. What the President did was immoral perhaps, but crime to the point where they could impeach him on, hardly.
bass4funk
...or even the msm liberal media.
We feel the same about the Democrats as well as some Republicans.
lincolnman
For 10 years he was Trump's right hand man - knows more than Don Jr or Eric - Trump and Cohen, two disgusting liars and swamp creatures...
So?
If you're talking about Clinton I couldn't agree more...
The conspiracy charge on directing Cohen to pay off Stormy and McDougal is the least of his worries. We'll soon find out all the business ties he has to Russians - you know, the place where Don Jr and Eric said they get all their Trump Org money from...and that Trump has lied about.
bass4funk
Swampier than Schumer or the Clinton’s? Sir, I find that impossible to believe.
Ok and then what?
lincolnman
Oh yea, way dirtier...mobsters, Russians, porn stars - a regular cesspool or "Trump-pool"...
Jail...

Hillary? Tony Podesta? Julian Assange? Christopher Steele?

1# During an event at the White House, Trump was asked about Cohen saying he had been threatened by him and Giuliani.
2# "I would say he's been threatened by the truth. He's only been threatened by the truth," Trump said.
Giuliani told Reuters that the "president's response covers it."
The first paragraph was written by reporter and the second paragraph was answered by Trump and Giuliani.
Do they (1 & 2) have the same definition?
The English language was my second language. Could you please explain me difference between reporter's report and actual answer?
In my language they (1 & 2) have very different meaning and cannot write like that.

I want to hear the exact threats. @Laguna came up with a pretty good one ala "The Sopranos" but of course "came up with" is the crucial operative phrase.
I have to say, that when the Trumpophobe's on this site get going, it can be pretty entertaining. You guys should get together and write a book.
I think a good title could be: "The Trump Prophecies" The complete story of Donald Trump, an exploration of the possibilities as seen through the lens of supposition.

"Jeb".., I mean Donnie, and his Russia colluding crony Assange....

Trump called Cohen a "rat" in a tweet last month
Cohen's lucky Trump didn't call him a sneaky dirty rat.
Now we have Roger Stone arrested - Mueller's hoping he'll say some bad stuff about Trump. LOL.
