    This guy is so fucked. SDNY isn’t dealing with him because it looks like his records gave them everything they need to make their cases. His patron has formally abandoned him. And he’s out of money.

    If he’s got anything of any value for Mueller he’d better offer it up quickly. His shelf life may be running out.

    “‘Inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer’s office (early in the morning) – almost unheard of,’ Trump wrote on Twitter Saturday morning. ‘Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client – totally unheard of & perhaps illegal. The good news is that your favorite President did nothing wrong!'”

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/21/politics/donald-trump-michael-cohen-taping/index.html

    No, it’s not, asshole. It’s called a “search warrant” and “covering your ass” when your client is a criminal — in this case, a stupid criminal. See ya in jail, buddy!

    Two things have always been obvious: One, Trump demands loyalty and gives none back. Two, inevitably this would come back to bite him someday.

    Personally, I think they’re all going to flip. Everybody Trump has screwed. Which is everyone who’s ever dealt with him in any fashion.

  13. 13

    @3 I’m sure his lobbyist donors feel they got their money’s worth. Swamp creatures have done very well since Jan. 3, 2017.

    12,
    Don’t forget, most of those recordings (insofar as they were not in furtherance of any criminal conspiracy) is privileged.

    Which of course raises an interesting point: The NYT quotes “…lawyers and other familiar with the recording”. The specific recording in question, regarding the arrangements to payoff the earlier 2006 greasy porn fuck lady, was identified in filings with the court as privileged attorney-client material. The FBI returned it to Cohen and Pissident PornSweat back in May. The SDNY FBI are rather famously pro-Trump/anit-Clinton, etc. So while it’s possible that the NYT’s source is that office, the person responsible would be taking a huge risk that a colleague would be able to identify them. More likely that either Cohen’s lawyers or PornSweat’s lawyers are the source. Within minutes of NYT publishing, Gulie is on teevee talking up the tape, etc. And now PornSweat is rage-Tweeting about it. And obviously lying about it by pretending he just found out. Again, his lawyers would have learned about the existence of these recordings no later than May. I’d like to know what PornSweat is trying to distract from this time.

    @5 What, Doctor Dumbfuck is crying in his coffee over a black thug getting shot by a white guy in Florida? Are you having an epiphany, doc? Or just growing weak in your dotage?

    In most states, the legal standard for using deadly force in self-defense is: Would a reasonable person conclude the shooter was in imminent danger of death or grievous bodily harm?

    As we’ve seen again here, as a de facto matter, “stand your ground” replaces that standard with “getting punched by a black guy,” a much lower burden of justification. Stealing a handicapped parking space from an elderly (white) person piles on “they had it coming” as a mitigating factor.

    This guy would be in jail if the thug was white. Keep in mind the cop refusing to arrest him is an elected sheriff, not a tenured civil servant. He’s gotta keep his (white) constituents happy. That necessitates enforcing the unwritten statute that black life is cheap in his racist shithole county. That’s the only law that really matters there.

  16. 16

    @9 “Times are tough for people like YLB. It’s gettin’ harder and harder to score some free shit these days, what with all of the Obama-supporting freeloaders with their hands out at the same time. Way too many hands, way too few calluses.”

    That’s nothing, wait until Paul Ryan’s ilk dismantle Medicare. Btw, how many calluses did you get from poring over x-rays at a light table?

    Doc, sometimes you’re too funny for words.

  18. 18

    12,
    I thought I should also follow up, that regardless of the source, any legit news org like NYT would not go to publication with a story revealing privileged attorney-client communications without first getting clearance from their legal department. It’s 101 stuff. For any editor interested in protecting their job it’s the first move. If the source were either Cohen or the FBI, the legal department advice would remain the same: you cannot publish. Only the client can release privilege. So the only source that would make it past the NYT legal team would be the client.

    This story about the recording is a carefully timed charade with a purpose. A shoe is about to drop…

    @ 15

    In most states, the legal standard for using deadly force in self-defense is: Would a reasonable person conclude the shooter was in imminent danger of death or grievous bodily harm?

    Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, with that handbill.us piece about fleeing felon doctrine you have disqualified yourself as any authority on legal standards. I’d sooner listen to the crack addict on the street who isn’t too strung out to know that if you were shot five times in the front of your body, you weren’t fleeing a cop when the trigger was pulled.

    @3 Guess Broadway is popular in Ohio. Particularly if the Democratic congress people from Ohio spend money on Broadway tickets to get money out of their donors. Hey it’s political speech. You do need to make sure the actors don’t get into the game though. Unless it plays well with your base.

  27. 27

    @20 There you go, doc, changing the subject. Wanna tell us why you’re suddenly going soft on black thugs who assault white people? Trump would not approve. He might even revoke your membership in his Dumbfuck Fan Club.

    You might also ask why Trump can’t fire Sessions, Rosenstein, or Mueller. Why can’t he?
    There’s no doubt he has the constitutional authority.

    “The League of The South, an organization described by analysts as a neo-confederate hate group, has launched a Russian language page on their website to explore shared ideas on ‘Southern nationalism.’

    “‘We understand that the Russian people and Southerners are natural allies in blood, culture, and religion,’ Michael Hill, the league’s president, wrote in a letter addressed to ‘our Russian friends.'”

    @12 Generally most judges will mot issue a warrant on an attorney because they have so and so as a client. And if it later comes out the state raided an attorneys office because they are so and so’s client rather than the reason given for the warrant they tend to have hissy fits and generally throw the states case or evidence out.

  34. 34

    @17 Unless the judge put standard boiler plate in saying the material was not to be released to the public. If it comes out who released it can be held for contempt by the judge. And you will have an upset judge, who will lock everything down as the case is in his court and not the court of public opinion.

    @32 Say hello to Seattle sister city Tashkent, Uzbekistan bringing us closer to our southern brothers and sisters.

    “New documents show that one month before the 2016 elections, the FBI sought permission to surveil Carter Page, the one-time foreign policy adviser to the campaign of Donald Trump, because they alleged he had been recruited by the Russian government. ‘The FBI believes the Russian government’s efforts are being coordinated with Page and perhaps other individuals associated with [Trump’s] campaign,’ the application with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court said.”

    The FISA application to spy on Carter Page was released today, pursuant to a FOIA request filed by NYT.

    Yup. It’s the dossier they relied on. A Clinton campaign-funded document used by the FBI to obtain a warrant to spy on a former Trump campaign person.

    Think about this during Trump’s re-election victory party.

    First food critic to win a Pulitzer. Long after I left LA I would still read his column.

    I’m seeing some of my favorite LA chefs on Social Medias, both of the celebrity and hole-in-the-wall ethnic variety, paying tribute. He championed the little Philippino grocery and the Vera Cruz seafood spots near my Palms/Culver city apartment and they became regulars for me.

    Legend. Farewell.

  47. 47

    Think about this during Trump’s impeachment hearing

    “the application also contained evidence against Mr. Page unrelated to the dossier, and an unredacted portion of the application discussed efforts by Russian agents in 2013 to recruit Americans as assets. It has previously been reported that Mr. Page was one of their targets, although any discussion of Mr. Page’s interactions with them in the application is still censored…

    The materials also revealed which Federal District Court judges signed off on the wiretapping of Mr. Page: Judges Rosemary Collyer, Michael Mosman, Anne C. Conway and Raymond J. Dearie. All were appointed by Republican presidents.”

    Some ideas being pushed with Greyhound Canada withdrawing all service west of Ontario. One would be to restore Via Rail service cut 28 years ago. Good luck with that. The Federal Liberals went along with those cuts. One of them, was rerouting the Canadian via the Canadian National route. Would have to be a new service, the Canadian serves remote communities along the CN route in Western Ontario.

    Millennials to Democrats: It’s the Economy, Stupid
    When it comes to economics, the party is in danger of losing young voters to the GOP.

    At a glance, this generation would appear to be the natural grassroots fuel for a midterm cycle that leaves Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan licking their wounds.

    But in fact, a new Reuters/Ipsos survey suggests that the opposite could be happening. More than 16,000 registered voters between the ages of 18 and 34 responded to the online survey. The conclusion? Millennial voters are losing their enthusiasm for the Democratic Party, and a growing number of them now believe that the GOP is offering better economic leadership. What’s curious about the Reuters/Ipsos survey is that it doesn’t suggest any change in the millennial generation’s negative perception of Trump.

    So why are millennials embracing Trump’s party right before a crucial round of midterms? Three words: the tax cuts.

    https://www.thenation.com/article/millennials-to-democrats-its-the-economy-stupid/

    Question for ya, Goldy: How does blowing off the economy and losing another election cycle because of it serve your desire @ 50 to “broadly improve the lives of people”?

    Is there ANYTHING Trump can’t do? Here he is placing a Russian spy into meetings with the Obama administration:

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Accused Russian agent Maria Butina had wider high-level contacts in Washington than previously known, taking part in 2015 meetings between a visiting Russian official and two senior officials at the U.S. Federal Reserve and Treasury Department.

    I guess this is what having a little more flexibility after the 2012 election gave Obama the freedom to do:

    The April 2015 visit by Butina and Torshin came about a year after Obama’s administration imposed sanctions on Russia for its annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region.

    79,
    As you and Republican Senator Rubio know, there is not just a single FISA app but a series of four apps going back to October of 2016 when, a a Republican Presidential campaign employee, he traveled to Moscow, ended up hobnobbing with Putin’s circle while watching soccer, then gives anti-US speeches two successive days in a row in front of Russian dignitaries at a university funded in part by oligarch Len Blavatnik. All this just a couple of weeks after Russian government cyber espionage agents broke into the DNC data servers, stole key voter analytics data and strategy plans, and offered them up to Republicans.

    I’d love to see the NRA Treason Party embrace FISA reform and push for more transparency from the FISC. Until the douche-spy Page came along they were adamently opposed, arguing that restrictions on FISA warrants and transparency would make us vulnerable. This politically motivated display of the process in the case of the douche-spy Page has demonstrated that transparency does not endanger us… well, at least not those of us engaging in treason with foreign dictators.

    From the very beginning, they did all this to themselves. They did it because it was the only way for them to win.
