Evidence from Cohen Plea was Big, but expect much more Incriminating Info to come…When the Michael Cohen plea happened in court Thursday morning, admitting guilt in exchange for leniency, it hit with a bang & reverberated throughout the headlines! And in the White House there is panic! They don’t know what might come next & how much worse the next headline could be. But the Cohen plea proves Trump was lying all along about his business dealings with Russia, especially during the 2016 campaign when he said in speeches he had no deals or no pending deals with Russia, while the negotiations for a Moscow Trump Tower were still active. It illustrates the cozy financial relationship the Trump campaign had with Russia. It looks like there were many deals going on, very shady deals, even to the point they could have conspired to steal an election! And it definitely looks like Putin has Trump compromised, or as they say in Russia, it’s kompromat.
Overall, it’s been reported Cohen so far has interviewed with Mueller’s team for 70 hours (yes, that’s right, it was 70 hours), which indicates he had a lot to say, so whatever news came out Thursday from that court was likely just the beginning. So even beyond the info we learned from the Cohen plea deal, Cohen knows a lot more! And he’s just one witness, Mueller has lots of cooperating witnesses to corroborate evidence, even without Manafort. And this info goes beyond bad business deals or campaign finance violations, it goes to the very heart of possible collusion. We’ll likely find out even more juicy details when more pending court filings soon become public about the Cohen plea & Manafort retracted plea deal, plus info from the sentencing of Michael Flynn.
Other findings from the news of the Cohen plea, it looks like Trump’s kids are also in trouble, the Steele dossier looks even more credible, Trump’s written answers submitted last week might be full of provable lies, & Trump has shown a level of corruption & obstruction that far surpasses Nixon. And obstruction is what brought Nixon down! Floating a pardon to Manafort & others also indicates obstruction, while Trump campaign deals with shady characters like Felix Sater showed attempts to strike deals at the highest levels of the Kremlin. And how about this deal, offering Putin a $50 million penthouse suite in Trump Tower! That sounds like a bribe! Then there’s a couple curious raids, presumably looking for illegalities like tax crimes & money laundering, when authorities just stormed the offices of Trump’s former tax attorney & Deutsche Bank, where Trump wound up getting many of his loans to finance real estate projects. Everything about all these dealings look corrupt, & reports are what we’ve just heard are only the tip of the iceberg!
All those contacts with Russians during the presidential campaign now make a lot more sense, as well as Trump’s subservience to Putin. It also looks like witness tampering & abuse of power are in the mix. There were tons of articles this week about the Cohen & Manafort headlines as you’ll see below. Trump admitted this week a pardon for Manafort is on the table, which by extension also sends signals to the likes of Stone & Corsi to hold firm & a pardon could be in the cards for them too. PR lawyer Rudy also confessed Manafort supplied them with valuable insights about the Mueller investigation when Manafort was supposed to be a cooperating witness for Mueller. So Manafort was actually serving as a spy for Trump, feeding the prez secrets about the info Mueller had. It’s similar to the way Matt Whitaker was originally installed in the DOJ to serve as a spy, & now as acting AG he can also spy directly on Mueller in servitude to Trump. There are even more news reports about the business scam Whitaker took part in. Hollywood could never make up this plot!
It increasingly appears from the evidence that’s been made public so far, Trump & his campaign staff probably colluded with Russia to illegally steal the presidential election. That’s my confident opinion based on the available info. We’re dealing with an untold number of crimes here, as the evidence keeps piling up & Trump keeps on lying without providing cogent explanations. Despite the best efforts of the echo, congressional cronies, Rudy, Whitaker, etc, the proof could soon become so damning that nothing can save this presidency. The final conclusion will need to come from Mueller, as well as the various House committees when the Dems soon take charge. Those who dish out the BS that collusion isn’t a crime are dead wrong. Maybe in our criminal code killing is not listed as a crime, but murder is. Likewise collusion isn’t the correct term for the crime, but conspiracy to defraud the United States is.
I truly believe Mueller is holding a lot of aces up his sleeves he’s not showing, which we may soon find out about if Whitaker doesn’t interfere, along with that soon-to-be Dem House will also be an enormous help. Trumpeter nation, along with the rest of us, should brace ourselves for some real bombshells ahead. I said nearly two years ago this would become the biggest political scandal in America’s history, & the big drama may be about to play out.

See excerpts below from: washingtonpost/trumps-night-owl-calls-to-roger-stone-in-2016-draw-scrutiny-in-mueller-probe
Those nocturnal chats and other contacts between the man who now occupies the Oval Office and an infamous political trickster have come under intensifying scrutiny as special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation bores into whether Stone served as a bridge between Trump and WikiLeaks as the group was publishing hacked Democratic emails. Mueller’s keen interest in their relationship was laid out in a draft court document revealed this week in which prosecutors drew a direct line between the two men — referring to Stone as someone understood to be in regular contact with senior Trump campaign officials, “including with then-candidate Donald J. Trump.” The inclusion of the president by name in the draft filing rattled his legal team and indicated how closely the special counsel is scrutinizing what Trump may have learned from Stone about WikiLeaks’ release of emails that prosecutors say were hacked by Russian intelligence operatives. In recent months, the Trump Organization turned over to Mueller’s team phone and contact logs that show multiple calls between the then-candidate and Stone in 2016, according to people familiar with the material.

This is a very real danger, especially assuming we now have an unhinged psychopath in the White House: americas-greatest-danger-nuclear-war-decision-making-by-donald-trump. The risk could especially escalate if proof of crimes paint him into a corner, showing him to be an illegitimate president who needs removed, when he might try anything to create a distraction.
