Michael Cohen and related issues Master Thread

[jsteele]

I am going to lock the other Michael Cohen threads and refer posters to this one. Please post all Michael Cohen topics here.

Jeff,

I do not agee with locking multiple thread to create one Michael Cohen Master thread. Why would you do that? I understand that someone must have reported, but this decision does not make sense.

Are you also going to create one Master thread for Trump, Hillary, etc etc. These threads have separate topic and need different discussions.

I locked 5 threads that were all current and referred them to this one. Do you really think we need 5 threads on pretty much the same topic? Do you want more than 5? Would you be happy for the entire first page to be Michael Cohen threads? Because that's where we were headed. Really, use some common sense.

They are different topics - yes all of them involves Micahel Cohen. We have 10 trump thread started everyday - should there be one master thread per day for trump?

Good idea, thanks Jeff!

Agree, thanks Jeff

Thanks, Jeff.

I think one is enough to track ongoing developments at this point. They can always be more threads later if issues really separate back out.

I agree with Jeff's decision. We have a thread on a single republican's opinion on the raid, a thread on Cohen using his trump email for taxi business (of limited importance), and two threads on the back and forth motions in court (trump wants docs, cohen hasn't delivered his full client list). There was only one new revelation worthy of its own thread, ie something newsworthy independent of the raid itself: the revelation of Don Jr's catch and kill.

...and that could have easily been added to the Junior divorce thread which is replete with info on his affair with O’Day.

Favorite line so far from AUSA - "Cohen has more attorneys than he has clients."

Cohen's lawyer is offering to give the name of his mysterious 3rd client (Don Jr?) to the judge in a sealed envelope. Says he's a "publicly prominent individual."

Oh, we definitely need a betting pool on this one. Names?

My guess: Giuliani
