Time for Mueller to go, he’s shooting at every duck in sight. This is ridiculous.

I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. (And I credit Andrew Napalitano on this tonight on fox ) but I speak with some authority on this.
Cohn borrowed money to pay the whore to shut up. She was extorting money IMO. As whores do, she took the money. It was $130,000, As a loyal attorney, he knew that if the money came from Donald it could hurt Donald. SO. he undertook to pay the whore himself. He had to borrow the money so he went to the federally insured bank and borrowed the money. On the application he stated the purpose as something else.
Did you know that “intent” is not a requisite of conviction if a single fact is misstated on a bank application. Justice Suter actually stated that if you “tell your banker that you love his Bow tie— and you don’t” , you can go to prison for 10 years~!! This is the weakest statute ever written , This is about the stated purpose of the whore payment that she extorted for silence , in my opinion. A NOTHING BURGER!!

Remember when Comey illegally gave FBI memos to his friend who then leaked them to the press? That “friend” later invoked attorney client privilege as to why he can’t be questioned by the FBI. I guess they should raid his house, his office, his classroom and search all his vehicles.

One person familiar with the probe said investigators have been gathering material on Cohen for weeks, including bank records.

As a side note - don't ever think its YOUR money in the bank. Its not. Banks are willing arms of the government, and besides, if they go bankrupt, you are simply another unsecured creditor who won't get paid.

If they get Trump no one outside of the swamp will ever run for president and we will be governed by the swamp forever. We are no better than a third world dictatorship. Eventually, our country will catch up to our third world government.

Just reading the headine, this article is pure BS.

What Mueller hopes to find is some dirt on the supposed porn star affair. Then he will ask Trump under oath whether he had an affair with her.

So in public, he will ask President Trump a very embarrassing question hoping that he will say something contradictory to what Mueller hopes to find.

Trump should tell Mueller that he is a slime ball and that he refuses to discuss anything with him under any circumstances and if he wants have him arrested and hauled before him in handcuffs, go ahead.

This has Comey written all over it. Money matters were his specialty.

As much as I don't rely on it, wiki was useful in finding out a little history on Comey.

And it's that history that led me to see Comey as the "silent partner" in this hunt to take President Trump down.

When Sessions recused himself, and allowed Rosenstein to appoint Mueller, It turned the Justice Department into an agency to be used against Trump.

I've said it before here - the DOJ is the political brain and nervous system of the government. And, not to have one's cronies and allies running it makes it extremely dangerous for a President. Obama proved both points very clearly. He ran his political agitation campaigns, from #BLM and Ferguson, to Fast and Furious, to Hillary's cover-up, out of the DOJ. He also made sure he had his most trusted fellow travelers in that position. Why did Kennedy appoint his brother AG? Taking it further, Why in IL does Madigan have his daughter as State AG? To protect their flanks, and not allow any chance of exposing crimes.

IMHO Trump missed this important point.

This isn’t collusion with Russia.

Shut Mueller down.

True.

JFK had Bobby Kennedy, as AG.

Reagan had Ed Meese.

Clinton had Reno.

Obama had Holder and Lynch, both black.

Trump should have went with Christie or Giuliani.

“any respectable person would offer up his resignation on the spot.....”

If Sessions had any honor, he would commit seppuku for what he’s done to Trump and America.

The gap between what the masses could expect and what the chosen could expect widened into an unbridgeable canyon once Bill Clinton was elected.

Until then, the gap that's always existed to some degree and that ebbed and flowed with changing political winds, was something they tried to keep from being too obvious and there were too many people with some small bit of moral fiber left in them that made sure there were limits.

Now? Tell a little lie on your Foodstamp application so you get an extra fifty dollars a month which means your part time job leaves you enough to buy gasoline for your wreck and you're criminal scum. Steal billions from a charity that is advertised worldwide and enjoys a tax free existence and you're a hero worthy of being invited to the right parties and asked to travel on Clinton's favorite Bang Em' Airlines to a private island.
