Gaetz warns Cohen he will play rough at House hearing Hours before his scheduled public testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Michael Cohen received a warning, of sorts, from Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., about what awaits him". http://www.yahoo.com/news/republican-warns-michael-cohen-ahead-of-congressional-testimony-224304126.html The Democratic and Republican leaders of Congress should make a public statement together that denounces his statements and he should be barred from the hearing. What happens if Mueller finds Trump fingerprints in Russia conspiracy? "(Reuters) - Special Counsel Robert Mueller is preparing to submit to U.S. Attorney General William Barr a report detailing his findings in the investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 presidential election and any links to the Trump campaign.

Later that day, hackers working with Russia’s military intelligence tried to break into email accounts associated with Clinton’s office. |

What a Triumph for Trump to have a SECOND meeting with Kim Un.
No other prez has even had ONE meeting. Even if nothing happens, it is a wonderful thing. The Art of the Deal. BUILD THAT WALL * I have the right to be silent but I don't have the ability. |

I think Trump will get that Wall built. Cohen can handle rough play at that hearing! Mueller won't find Trump's fingerprints in Russia conspiracy! |

Michael Cohen to testify in House that Trump potentially committed crime while in office, source says "When Michael Cohen takes the stand before a congressional committee on Wednesday, he will for the first time publicly accuse President Donald Trump of potentially committing a crime while in office, according to a source familiar with his intended testimony". http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/michael-cohen-testify-house-trump-potentially-committed-crime/story?id=61320603 Can a sitting U.S. president face criminal charges? "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Constitution explains how a president can be removed from office for "high crimes and misdemeanors" by Congress using the impeachment process. But the Constitution is silent on whether a president can face criminal prosecution in court, and the U.S. Supreme Court has not directly addressed the question". http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-indictment-explainer/can-a-sitting-us-president-face-criminal-charges-idUSKCN1QF1D3 The DOJ memo is just a guideline and nowhere in the Constitution does it say that a president cannot be indicted. Trump's ex-fixer Cohen to give new Russia details to Congress: source WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen will tell lawmakers this week that Trump asked him several times about a proposed skyscraper project in Moscow long after he secured the Republican presidential nomination, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-cohen/trumps-ex-fixer-cohen-to-give-new-russia-details-to-congress-source-idUSKCN1QF12R 'I didn't need to do this.' Critics say Trump quote undercuts national emergency for border wall "WASHINGTON – Thirty minutes into an off-the-cuff defense of his decision to declare a national emergency to help build his border wall, President Donald Trump made an admission that may have handed ammunition to legal opponents of the move. Trump, who has long described the situation on the Southwest border as a "crisis" and an "invasion," appeared to suggest his administration had all the time it needed to build the hundreds of miles of border barrier he has demanded for months". "I could do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn't need to do this," Trump told reporters gathered in the White House Rose Garden on Friday, shortly before he signed a proclamation declaring the emergency. "But I'd rather do it much faster." Trump’s opponents, including a number of groups and officials suing the administration over the national emergency, pounced on the president's candid remarks and said they appeared to undermine his claims of an urgent problem on the southern border ". http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2019/02/16/border-emergency-donald-trump-quote-undercuts-move-critics-says/2881619002/ Evers pulls Wisconsin troops from US-Mexico border "Wisconsin governor says there's no justification for Wisconsin National Guard troops to remain at the border". http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2019/02/25/tony-evers-pulls-back-wisconsin-troops-u-s-border-mexico/2984829002/ California governor to pull troops from US-Mexico border "California Governor Gavin Newsom plans Monday to withdraw several hundred National Guard troops from the state's southern border with Mexico in defiance of the Trump administration's request for support from border states". http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/02/california-governor-pull-troops-mexico-border-190211154626406.html Another State to Pull Its Troops From Border "California Gov.

Jake Tapper Shreds Don Jr.'s Brazen Lie That Mueller Found ‘No Actual Crimes’
Donald Trump Jr., son of President Donald Trump, on Monday claimed that special counsel Robert Mueller has found “no actual crimes” in his investigation of the 2016 election". But as CNN’s Jake Tapper pointed out, that’s just not true. Trump’s son said in a Fox News interview that the guilty pleas in the investigation are the result of “incredible pressure” on “regular guys.” He implied that Mueller’s team tricked them and “got them to slip up and say something incorrectly.” http://www.yahoo.com/news/jake-tapper-shreds-don-jr-045759404.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=3ObszniedLE Exactly what someone who is guilty would try to do. Deflect. Try to make our system of checks and balances look like it's not the truth. You may as well say they are trying to turn our government upside down. His father seems to love the communist way of doing things. Who is this guy? The only reason anyone listens's to him is because he is the son of the president and, like his father, seems to think that whatever he says is the truth no matter the facts to the contrary and just because he says it. They both live solely in their own reality. US general says no military threat on the southern border WASHINGTON (AP) — Under pointed questioning from senators, the top U.S. general for homeland defense said Tuesday that he sees no military threat coming from the southern border with Mexico, but his focus is on "very real" threats from China and Russia. http://www.apnews.com/a78120075dd4447aa4ba5902a3816c68 |

It's interesting to watch Michael Cohen testimony in person. Rather than what media posts later. Showing Special report today CBS.Live I m watching.
A Mr Jordan asked Cohen, who is paying for his attorneys. Won't they have to wait for your payment 3yrs til you get out of jail! Cohen turned around asked his attorneys and they both said, yes they would wait. Mr Jorden said, that would be a first. lol Cohen said he has committed crimes himself and owns up to them . Includes five counts of tax invasion. 40 members of Congress was at this hearing. The hearing got Ugly. Republicans say Cohen is a lier. |

As far as Trump Junior, with a dad like that, Im sure sweating it is just a natural part of his existence, yearning daddy's approval. |

Today, Trumpland is situated in Vietnam. Another great meeting of the minds, trying to outdo each other. Deals will be made and broken and made again. This is the first president in our history to be able to set up meetings with the dictatorship of North Korea. Kudos to Trump for doing this.

Michael Cohen: Trump did not ‘directly’ tell me to lie to Congress about Moscow project
"WASHINGTON — Michael Cohen provided a detailed account of a crucial and disputed element of his business dealings with President Trump in his testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. Cohen, who was Trump’s longtime personal attorney and an executive at the president’s real estate company up until he took office, said Trump did not explicitly tell him to lie to Congress about the scope of their efforts to build a skyscraper in Moscow. “I lied to Congress [about] when Mr. Trump stopped negotiating the Moscow tower project in Russia. I stated that we stopped negotiating in January of 2016. That was false. Our negotiations continued for months later during the campaign. Mr. Trump did not directly tell me to lie to Congress.
