Prosecutors have granted immunity to David Pecker, the CEO of the company that publishes National Enquirer, as part of their investigation into President Trump's longtime lawyer Michael Cohen.

Pecker met with the prosecution to discuss Cohen's involvement in Trump's hush-money deals with women leading up to the 2016 presidential election, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

>> What does this Pecker have to say that merits immunity? <<

I am sure Mueller will give him a list of fake crimes he committed in Trump's behalf.

> Per Rush, this CEO and Trump are long time friends. Per what Rush has “heard”, Trump wanted Pecker to “go after his enemies” and do negative stories/bury stories not favorable to Trump.

How much would it cost to turn every media outlet in America into a 2-year-long nonstop infomercial for your candidate? The DNC deployed its entire MSM apparatus to act as Hillary Clinton’s personal unpaid PR agency to do exactly that, so when do the round-ups start over there for illegal in-kind contributions? They even had the DNC-FBI helping out with burying anti-Hillary stories and doing negative stories about Trump.
(Not going to hold my breath, of course.)

Strzok probably hacked Packers bank and tax records and found something for Mueller to blackmail him with

Let them go down this path and see how it plays out in the court of public opinion.

There’s tons of Wikileaks emails that show reporters for major media outlets colluding with the Clinton campaign.

MEMO REVEALS SOROS-FUNDED SOCIAL-MEDIA CENSORSHIP PLAN

This is just ONE page/facet of Media Matter's four-year agenda that deployed Media Matters along with American Bridge, Shareblue and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) to attack Trump and Republicans. The strategies are impeachment, expanding Media Matters’ mission to combat “government misinformation,” ensuring Democratic control of the Senate in the 2018 midterm elections, filing lawsuits against the Trump administration, monetizing political advocacy, using a “digital attacker” to delegitimize Trump’s presidency and damage Republicans, and partnering with Facebook to combat “fake news.”

More about this plan, here....

Mueller isn’t prosecuting Michael Cohen. The office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York obtained Cohen’s guilty plea and have granted immunity to David Pecker of the National Enquirer.
The U.S. Attorney, Geoffrey Berman is a Trump appointee but, surprise, surprise, just like his boss Jeff Sessions, Berman has recused himself from the Cohen investigation and his underlings are handling it.

Immunity to David Pecker?

What ? Have they discovered a genuine AIDS vaccine?

I suppose a Pecker in hand is worth two in the bush.

I you pay for it with your own money it’s nobody else’ business.

If you pay for it with taxpayer money it’s the taxpayers’ business.

Poison Ivy? Don’t play loose with my heroine Maxine Waters./S

The Waters and Pecker Leaking News Service is apparently in overdrive.

Maybe both will give evidence to Mueller.

Meanwhile Brews Whore is ignored, and his wife Maggie too.

Explain why it is illegal for a candidate for office to ask a friend to dish dirt on his opposition,and even to pay for it?

Explain why it is illegal for a candidate or anyone else to try and influence the outcome of an election by paying for and airing campaign ads villifying and slamming the opposition?

“The Big attack before the election, will be Don Jr indicted for the Tower meeting...wait and see.”

Also keep an eye on social media. Don’t be shocked if suddenly just before the mid-terms all conservative social media accounts including POTUS are “accidentally banned” for a day or two to shut down major avenues of response to any October surprise Mueller may pull.

Never, as long as Trump is in office.

#2. Yes. Notice how the Hill writer calls this “hush money” affair a “scandal” when it is all legal. Therefore the only scandal is in the minds of the Left psychopathic Trump haters (including journalists)and Marxists (yes, a lot of the Democrat political figures behind all of this are from an assorted Marxist wing of the Democrat Party (Democratic Socialists of America, Black Congressional Caucus - far left with some members having direct ties to the Communist Party USA, and the Progressive Congressional Caucus, aka “Red Central”).

If you’re a leftist you have auto-immunity forever. On the right, no such thing. Testifying as a witness will get the book thrown at you, or, if you prefer, a robbery on a dark street, where nothing is taken except your life.

It’s damn sad. I was in a hair salon today with a handful of theoretically smart women all who think Trump is an abject criminal. They can’t believe he is still President “with all these crimes he has committed.” The propaganda machine is highly successful.

We may be in a hopeless situation. Trump is trying but he has formal and deep state limits on how much he can free us or help us. If he does not succeed, where are we going to find someone again with that much money, bravery, and ego to dare try???
