Let's not forget that Cohen was also the deputy finance chairman of the RNC. People forget that and act like he was just Trump's fixer, but he had his hands in things involving the whole RNC. My guess is it will turn out he was helping to hide money being funneled from russia through the NRA. And Mcconnell was one of those receiving money through that channel and other russian channels, so he was involved in this scandal, too. The whole RNC is an organized crime syndicate.

Besides the fact that it's clear you don't know what the RNC is or what it does, Cohen didn't get his post there until April 2017.


OK, but he was deputy finance chairman of the rnc. He wasn't just Trump's fixer. Cohen and his father in law and a number of his close associates have connections to the russian mob. Explain that away.

Trump made him deputy finance chair - a largely ceremonial post, not like he's in the office 9 to 5 dialing for dollars or building spreadsheets - because he was his fixer. It has nothing to do with Russia. Not everything is a part of some grand conspiracy.

Not everything, but an awful lot of things surrounding Donald Trump and Cohen seem to be when it comes to Russia. Cohen, and his friends and family, have tons of ties to russian organized crime. And we all know about the hack, the attacks on NATO, etc, etc, etc,. Spin it how you wish.

Donald Trump is a terrible human being and it is embarrassing that we nominated him and elected him. It is some order of magnitude less embarrassing but still bad that a lifelong Dem hack lawyer like Cohen got a post at the RNC. You can stick to the facts because they're bad enough, and floating something like Cohen being at the RNC to hide money funneled from Russia through the NRA (which makes no fucking sense if you have any grasp of what the RNC is) detracts from any reasonable point you might be trying to make.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., was observed discussing his threatening tweet about Michael Cohen with President Trump Wednesday evening.

According to Edward-Isaac Dovere, a staff writer at the Atlantic, Gaetz spoke to the president, who was in Hanoi, Vietnam for talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, over the phone.

"I was happy to do it for you. You just keep killing it," Gaetz was overhead saying.

A meaningful trade deal with the Chinese along with an economy that avoids a recession, or has a brief recession WILL reelect Trump.

Trump won with 46.1 % of the vote to Crooked Hilary's 48.2%. Trumps job performance number remains around 43%. It is scary, but short of impeachment and conviction, Trump could easily be reelected.
