USA Today has this headline: "'Blatant racism': Ky. high school apologizes following backlash after video shows students surrounding indigenous marchers"
Anyone with half a brain would have asked upon seeing the initial video, "So?" The kids are being rude, but why does rudeness become national news? Of course we know the answer to that is the MAGA hat.
So let me ask TMan and friends, why this other video showing kids "surrounding" and actually physically attacking another didn't become national news?
I think Cohen wouldn’t miss his date with the committee for anything in the world.
I saw an interview with his attorney. He claimed Cohen is concerned for his family's safety. You can imagine some Trump nutters have sent death threats. But, he also has a monumental sized ego and would love all the attention on him. If they want to protect him they should have the hearing be a surprise announcement prior to the scheduled date. He'll get sent to a minimum security Club Fed and will be fine. He could have gone for much longer and he knows it.
He's broke and owes a lot of money, including the IRS. Security for his family will be difficult for him to finance. He hopes his Go Fund Me Account will help him.
He has been living the good life since he was a kid. Jail will be tough for him. He is done as a Lawyer. He is nervous, a liar and desperate. Hardly believable. He knows if he appears it will only get worse for him and his family. Simple decision. Try and get Trump , which no one has been able to do, and burn his family, or go away quietly and hope to survive jail.

Of course he is nervous, who wouldn't be? But I agree he knows it could have been a whole lot worse given all the charges he was facing. With good behavior and he's out in less than 2.5. I don't see how it gets worse for his family - they've supposedly already had death threats. His career is over, they have no money. None of that changes regardless of his testifying in front of Congress or not. Mueller interviewed him for 70 hours and that is what matters more. On one hand he is like a loyal abused dog, possibly eager to get even fro what Trump has said about him. On the other hand he has nothing to lose or gain in telling the truth. He's already been sentenced. A Public hearing is more dog and pony show

He is beyond nervous, he is close to being petrified. If you look at Mueller's statement carefully regarding the allegations that Trump instructed Cohen to lie, you see " inaccurate " . That infers that it will be Cohen's word against Trump. Supporting evidence, witnesses, doubtful. Why else would Mueller make a statement other than the issue that this has now started to interfere with the Office of the President ? It has been over two years , and basically all the Democrats have been interested in. Now Cohen knows he is in a bind. He has no support, he is a convicted criminal and a liar . A Jury would never believe him. If he testifies he comes off as a desperate fool who only was interested in " the truth " when he was caught dirty for crimes unrelated to Trump.
Cohen Is handcuffed. He can't say anything related to Mueller's investigation, it is off limits. The Dems want Russia, Russia , Russia,, and nothing else. They can't and won't get it from Cohen. Another " bombshell" to blow up in their faces. And Cohen gets to think about it miserably alone for the next couple of years. Hey , maybe he knows Karen Hill from the old neighborhood and she can smuggle in some lox.

It is a lose/lose situation for him.
On the supposed instruction to lie who knows if there's a real story there or not. But Cohen has PLENTY of other information that is damaging to Trump. Mueller has that and is a savvy enough investigator to know he can't go in with just Cohen testimony. He's got phone/email/txt records, financial statements, Cohen's recordings of conversations and plenty of other witnesses (like the CFO of Trump Inc). Cohen has already lost everything and it really can't get worse for him. If only can get worse for the Dems if he comes across as not credible. That is a real risk.

Rudy went on TV yesterday and admitted that trump and Cohen has conversations about the trump tower Moscow deal “up until October or November 2016.”
That puts the lie to everything trump said about his contacts with Russia .

Information does not indicate evidence of illegal activity. Trump has a record of being an A hole, a jerk, doesn't pay people , holds out as long as he can, etc. He learned from his Father how to not get your hands dirty. Trump has been operating the same way for decades. He didn't just turn dumb overnight. Cohen was a flunky, that tried to make himself larger than life with the attachment to Trump. Quite simple, Cohen is a criminal, has a criminal mind. Trump does not. They are both liars, but two liars make it even more difficult to find any truth. When one is a convicted liar, that can make a difference.
No one knows what Mueller has. " Anti- climatic" is what to expect. A report to the new Attorney General who hasn't been playing in the mud with the FBI , Rosenstein and the rest of the rats nest. That's what this is leading to. A collection of circumstantial information without any connection of the dots. That's my prediction.
Notice how Stormy's lawyer has disappeared ? Wasn't he going to take Trump down? MSNBC and CNN had to paint the green room over considering how much he was on the air. He was their Rock Start. Cohen knows he was/ is being used by everyone and he will have absolutely nothing to gain or show when he has his first meal out of a plastic plate.
This is all going to blow up in the Dems faces. They push Trump any harder, and he is going to start declassifying documents to nail them. He has more in his arsenal than Mueller, and that's the silent truth that no one wants to confront. This has been an organized effort , with the aid of the MSM, for a coup. An investigation started by an unproven Dossier paid for by the opposition party. That premise alone is all you need to understand th ebig picture.

That's not what he said. Another trip down the " if it's true " path like last week ?
You saw how that ended up.
Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, acknowledged during an appearance on CNN on Sunday that it's possible the president spoke with Michael Cohen prior to Cohen's congressional testimony, but questioned why it matters.
"I don't know if it happened or didn't happen," Giuliani told CNN's Jake Tapper. "And it might be attorney-client privilege if it happened where I can't acknowledge it. But I have no knowledge that he spoke to him. But I'm telling you, I wasn't there then."
Pressed again as to whether or not the president might have had a conversation with Cohen about his testimony, Giuliani said: "And so what if he talked to him about it?"

incident #245 on trump/rudy saying something didn't happen and then, ooops, it did. and on a normal news day that would be the headline, for days actually. same with the story that cohen paid a polling group to fix polls. but the news is changing so fast and furious that it's become difficult to keep up.

Incident #246.
Why does Trump keep Giuliani on staff? Is it because no one will take the job, or he can't tolerate having anyone but yes-men surrounding him? Rudy isn't doing him any favors.

Avanatti disappeared because of an embarrassing DV charge (dropped) and financial issues (he probably wasn't taking enough clients to pay for all his flights for news appearances). However, it urned out what Stormy and McDougal said about Trump and payments was true. I've no idea if the Russia thing will stick. All the evidence certainly isn't out there yet. But there's no doubt Trump has had campaign finance violations, money laundering and possibly tax fraud.
I saw an interview with his attorney. He claimed Cohen is concerned for his family's safety. You can imagine some Trump nutters have sent death threats. But, he also has a monumental sized ego and would love all the attention on him. If they want to protect him they should have the hearing be a surprise announcement prior to the scheduled date.

Why don't you start a death count similar to the one that exists for the Clintons.
