Michael Cohen admits under oath to stealing from Trump, feds never prosecuted Cohen for it and Cohen kept the dough

These people are shit.

Here:

In 2017, the Trump Organization owed technology company Red Finch $50,000 for a using algorithms to boost Trump’s performance in a poll, according to Cohen. Cohen, who helped facilitate the transaction, asked for a $100,000 reimbursement, "grossed up" to account for taxes, from the Trump Organization.

However, on the stand Monday, Cohen admitted that he stole from Trump, only paying $20,000 to Red Finch and pocketing the remaining $60,000 for himself. 

"So the $50,000 that you got back from Red Finch ... you only paid the Red Finch owner $20,000, right?" Blanche asked Cohen. 

"Yes sir," Cohen replied. 

The lawyer clarified that Cohen pocketed the $60,000 difference and confirmed this was stealing. 

"You did steal from the Trump Organization based upon the expected reimbursement from Red Finch?" Blanche asked. 

"Yes sir," Cohen replied, according to CNN. 

CNN Legal Analyst Elie Honig called these new revelations a “bomb dropped in the middle of the prosecution's case.” CNN’s analyst Laura Coates agreed and was surprised that the prosecutors did not address this sooner in the trial to “take the sting out” of the revelation.

Dirty sons of bitches.

Sad to listen to Mark Steyn give know-nothings the golden EIB microphone today to blanket the country with bilge

We had a lawyer call in from Michigan, where I live, to complain about the governor's tyranny, failing to mention the 1905 Supreme Court precedent her lawyer cites which permits her actions to protect the citizenry. The lawyer must have gone to the same school as convicted Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

Then we had a caller from Georgia tell us coronavirus infections are much more widespread according to results from several states using antibody tests, never mentioning that all of these antibody tests are unreliable and NONE of them are approved by the FDA.

That caller also said everything was improving in Sweden when the truth is quite the opposite. Sweden embarked on herd immunity early and is now reaping the whirlwind with 2,355 deaths and a mortality rate of 12%, more than twice that of the United States.

But yeah, let Georgia be Sweden.

I guess the Rush Limbaugh supporters in Georgia must know coronavirus will ravage the black enclaves of Atlanta, decreasing the surplus population.

Michael Cohen to Cuomo in 2016: Certainly hoped to go into Trump's administration

2016 Michael Cohen Interview Shows He ‘Certainly Hoped’ He’d Be Offered a White House Job:

The hope that Cohen expressed during that interview directly contradicts what he told the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday.

Michael Cohen: Trump A "Racist," "Conman" Who Knew About WikiLeaks In Advance

Sentencing document shows Michael Cohen had administration ambitions

Rush Limbaugh had this right today: Cohen Caught in Multiple Lies Again.

THE GOVERNMENT’S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM:

[These crimes] each involve deception, and were each motivated by

personal greed and ambition. ... his desire for even greater wealth and

influence precipitated an extensive course of criminal conduct ... .

His actions suggest that Cohen relished the status of ultimate fixer -- 

a role that he embraced as recently as May 2018. Cohen was driven by

a desire to further ingratiate himself with a potential future President --

for whose political success Cohen himself claimed  credit -- 

and arranged for the payments in an attempt to increase his

power and influence. ...

Cohen privately bragged to friends and reporters, including in recorded

conversations, that he had made the payment ... .

Cohen’s criminal violations of the federal election laws were also stirred,

like his other crimes, by his own ambition and greed. During and after the

campaign, Cohen privately told friends and colleagues, including in seized

text messages, that he expected to be given a prominent role and title in

the new administration. When that did not materialize, Cohen found a way

to monetize his relationship with and access to the President.  

Coulter thinks talk of a Cohen motive is idiotic, believes prosecutors suborned perjury by Cohen in previous and today's testimony

Pretty wild thing to say about Robert Mueller? Well, he did knowingly prosecute the wrong guy in the anthrax case. Cohen could've been put away for a loooooooooooooong time. When the elites discard the moral absolutes taught by Christian civilization #democracydiesindarkness.

The Cohen testimony today shows Democrat Congress' contempt for the American people, and for itself

Cohen is going to jail for lying to Congress, so nothing he says today could possibly be trusted. In fact, he lied to Congress again in today's testimony, saying he never wanted a position in the Trump administration, when his sentencing documents show that he did, and earnestly. The fact that he was passed over for a position shows he had quite the motive to turn against Trump, and make unfounded accusations.

If the Democrat Congress had any integrity, it wouldn't put up such a bald-faced liar. If it had any self respect, it wouldn't put up someone who lied to it, and lies to it again.

This is self-hating shit.

Selective prosecution by DOJ undermines faith in the justice system, divides the country and threatens the peace

Jason Chaffetz: Why is Michael Cohen prosecuted when Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and Lois Lerner were not?:

With a Republican president in place and soon-to-be Democrat-run House, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has conveniently remembered that they have the ability to prosecute people who lie to Congress.  This was a power they had inexplicably forgotten about during the 10 years that Democrats were benefiting from witnesses who lied.

Honest liberal Glenn Greenwald reminds the world about the media's chronic, systematic, reckless reporting of fake news

Including about CNN's latest lies about what Cohen's got on Trump, here in The Intercept:

When reporting on that story, I detailed just some of the similarly significant and false stories major outlets have published on this story over the last eighteen months, notably always in the same direction, pushing the same narrative interests:

• Russia hacked into the U.S. electric grid to deprive Americans of heat during winter (Wash Post)
• An anonymous group (PropOrNot) documented how major U.S. political sites are Kremlin agents (Wash Post)
• WikiLeaks has a long, documented relationship with Putin (Guardian)
• A secret server between Trump and a Russian bank has been discovered (Slate)
• RT hacked C-SPAN and caused disruption in its broadcast (Fortune)
• Russians hacked into a Ukrainian artillery app (Crowdstrike)
• Russians attempted to hack elections systems in 21 states (multiple news outlets, echoing Homeland Security)
• Links have been found between Trump ally Anthony Scaramucci and a Russian investment fund under investigation (CNN)

Whatever words one wishes to use to defend the U.S. media’s conduct here, “rare” and “isolated” are not among those that can be credibly invoked. Far more accurate are “chronic,” “systematic” and “reckless.”

Paul Manafort found guilty and Michael Cohen pleads guilty on same day Ann Coulter releases Resistance is Futile

I seem to remember In Trump We Trust was released in August 2016, just as Trump started backtracking on illegal immigration in Arizona.

Do Coulter book releases make the sky fall?

If you haven't been listening to Mark Levin tonight, you are probably panicking about the Michael Cohen plea for no reason

Mark Levin says the myriad talking heads out there, especially Jonathan Turley, have the Cohen plea all wrong. In fact, he says Cohen stupidly pleaded guilty to things which aren't crimes. The special prosecutor wants it to appear that there are campaign crimes involving Trump, but there are not. And because this is a plea, this isn't a finding of a court. So there is no effect, setting a new precedent. Cohen's plea comes to avoid more serious charges.

Levin even had the former head of the Federal Election Commission on to explain how there was no violation involved.

Good stuff.

Watch for the synopsis later, here.
