The best way to judge Trump is by the terrible people he has surrounded himself with.Trump's lawyers make Saul Goodman of Breaking Bad look professional.

I've seen that video and it wasn't a beer bottle. As I recall it was a pickle jar. What struck me most was that at the moment his sphincter crushed it, he didn't make a sound. Just kept breathing.

Y'all, I'm so sorry for this corrective description to an epic event, sorta.

Because it started out secret we skipped the first step and went straight into "what, this is all just an innocent misunderstanding of what really happened." When the truth does come out, expect him to say how it's not really that big a deal, and is being totally exaggerated, and also too hey look over there at Hillary doing something, or not doing something or how we insist she did something some years ago.

My theory s that if real estate was involved it was condos for Rooshian mobsters, how to launder payments.

By god, Hannity is a stupid jerk. If he was giving Cohen a douceur, it should have been a bottle of Cristal. A sawbuck? I give more than that to the guy who tows my car.

Fox will stick with him as long as the truth, whatever that may be, has not come out. Then bye-bye. If it was too bad to just shrug and tell the truth about, then it's too bad.

Notice how the Deep State is clearing the hall of rightwing smear mongers? First Beck . . .

Sorry, there are no limits to journalism. You can sure as hell use hacked emails, as long as you didn't hack them yourself. NYTimes v. Sullivan

From what he's done thus far, Mueller seems only to unseal indictments when he has a stack of them, and when he can nail a fucker to the wall. Also, let's not forget: neither he nor any of the other top-shelf lawyers are on this case so they can score an indictment against Michael Fucking Cohen. I mean, don't worry. Cohen is, legally speaking, totally fucked. But in the grander scheme of things, he's just a bug they're going to squash on their way to rolling up That Asshole in the White House and like half the top Republican leadership. Ryan, McConnell, the RNC, and all the rest of them are all up to their eyeballs in dirty Russian shit, and I don't think Mueller is going to move until he's good and ready to start perp-walking every last one of them. But I'm with you: the waiting is killing me.

I just want to say that, given their roles in unfucking the PA electoral map, and maybe here in presiding over evidence sorting, I like that our legal system has something called a "special master." It makes me think of some guild from the Renaissance, and some dude striding in wearing ermine, an oversized livery collar, and bearing a scepter of his esteemed office. (PS "livery collar" is a new term I learned just for this, and it's a thing we should do more)

Well, it's right there on the internet. Try to ketchup.

I meant fairy but now that I see your concept I think it is an improvement on where I was going.

So InSannity says he slipped Cohen ten bucks to retain him as his lawyer because that establishes attorney-client privilege. Now we all know that's BS because it's been in the news for days. But why didn't Cohen know? InSannity hands him the sawbuck and Cohen says "No - that's now how it works; that's not how any of it works" and InSannity takes back the money. Only that never happened?

I could believe that Sean is just dumb enough to engage is a real estate transaction with Cohen and use Cohen as his attorney for the transaction.

I read this elsewhere and it sure made sense to me. What legal matter is there that doesn't involve a third party? I know what InSannity is trying to say - he didn't use Cohen to payoff a woman or man. But his phrasing, as usual, is somewhat unartful.

Just imagine how Sean would respond if Obama ordered brown mustard on a sandwich or wore a tan suit or Michelle wore a sleeveless dress.

The photo of InSannity and Cohen looks like it was taken in the room of a motel out by the airport.
