Michael Cohen claims Trump knew and approved of the meeting where Russians offered “dirt” on then-candidate Hillary Clinton — despite Trump’s repeated denials that he was aware it took place, according to CNN.

LOL! Yeah, because she's so damn squeaky clean, then-candidate Trump was desperate for something he could pin on her.

This assclown sounds like a little weasel who will do and say whatever Mueller and Team Commie want him to say, just to save his own worthless hide.

You gotta love the butt-hurt. So, Sean Hannity's good buddy, Lanny Davis, informs CNN that Donald Trump was aware of a meeting with Russians and he also discussed buying the rights to a story a Playmate wanted to sell, and CNN goes with the Playmate story first!

That tells you right there that even CNN doesn't think the Russia story was a snoozer.

Way to go, CNN. Way to Bobbitize yourself.

Why would he have talked about that with Cohen? Doesn’t pass the smell test.

..... The fact that they decided to start examining Trumps Tweet history (Which are public knowledge anyways) tells me that they are now pulling at straws .....

.... So Logic would dictate that this Cohen thing is for effect and merely an insipid orchestrated attempt to try to sully the Presidents reputation before the mid terms ....

Of course not. Russians were not on the President’s radar. In a normal world there would be lawsuits all around.

Seems very unusual that Cohen would be present for such a meeting. And he denied it before. He really doesn’t have any credibility.

That’s unfortunate. In my opinion, Rudy tends to get carried away with trying to shock or confuse the show host during his interview. I think he misses the attention that came with being known as “America’s Mayor”. And yes, that was a very long time ago, to us, but not to Rudy.

Oops. I meant to say CNN DOES think the Russian story is a snoozer.

I follow the Q drops on Cohen and similar on General Flynn. Both Cohen and Flynn are provoking Mueller to indict them or file charges against them because that allows them to get evidence before the court.

They have evidence but it can’t get admitted to a court unless there is a prosecutor willing to go there. But Rosenstein is controlling the show in that arena so there is no prosecutor to take up Cohen’s evidence or Flynn’s evidence. So the only option towards getting evidence before the court is to get oneself arrested.

In Flynn’s case, he deliberately acted as confused and said he may have made statements that were not ‘accurate’. And he wrote a confession that his lack of accuracy could be construed as being less than honest which the democrats screamed that he LIED TO THE FBI! Flynn was trolling them. Mueller knows it’s a trap because Flynn has evidence against the deep state that will come out in his trial. This is why the Mueller team keeps putting his trial off and may end up dropping the charges because they know it’s a truth bomb ready to explode in their faces.

In the Cohen case, there have been no admissions of any sort of wrongdoing. He is not under indictment but Mueller’s team keeps fanning the media flames that Cohen is ready to talk. Cohen, like Flynn, has evidence he wants to bring to court that will implicate the deep state actors involved in selling out America.

This theater is commonly described as giving one’s enemies enough rope to hang themselves.

CNN + unnamed source = fake.

CNN is getting out ahead of tomorrow's economic report.

I was referring to Avenatti. I just couldn’t think of how to spell his name, and was too lazy to look it up. Avenatti, the Stripper’s Attorney.

This means nothing! And until they deal with hillary’s selling our uranium to Russia and destroying tapes that were gov property, and letting any nation anywhere have access to gov information, ... all of which mueller would LOVE to have on Trump... but it’s on hillary and they let her skate. UNTIL they deal with hillary and obama, leave our President alone! They’s scoured all the records they can get their hands on for over a year. and have foung NOTHING. He has to be pretty clean to have the whole government hunting for anything and finding nothing. hillary can’t say the same.

The anger comes from the obvious crimes they don’t care about and go after ONE MAN they don’t like! They don’t like us either and if the dems ever get back in power, we are their target!!

Someone said the rich likes the illgals,... they clean for them and take care of their children.. with other things they also work cheap, and they want their vote. But the middle class are the unimportant lot of individuals.. and the reason we are not wanted or cared about.. : we don’t need government.. we are not dependent on a gov for handouts. we just want to be left alone to enjoy our President making this nation great again! We are useless to the left, the libs, the socialists.

Yeah. That’s where I’m at. Even if Trump sought damaging info on his opponent — so what?

Team Trump is putting all this out so Cohen has nothing of value to give up to Mulleur.
