[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I adamantly feel that Dems would better serve and gain support by grinding to address the nation's issues. Leave the hyper vigilance of crimes to Mueller. What's It's almost over, no matter the outcome. Here are key takeaways that seem to be getting most of the attention. Cohen dropped crumbs for those in charge to follow.

1. "I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is. He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat."

2. "He was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National Committee emails."

3. "A copy of a check Mr. Trump wrote from his personal bank account -- after he became president -- to reimburse me for the hush money payments I made to cover up his affair with an adult film star and prevent damage to his campaign."

4. "Mr. Trump did not directly tell me to lie to Congress. That's not how he operates."

5. "There were at least a half-dozen times between the Iowa Caucus in January 2016 and the end of June when he would ask me 'How's it going in Russia?' -- referring to the Moscow Tower project."

6. "Trump knew of and directed the Trump Moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it. He lied about it because he never expected to win the election. He also lied about it because he stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars on the Moscow real estate project."

7. "Mr. Trump would often say, this campaign was going to be the 'greatest infomercial in political history.'"

8. "Mr. Stone told Mr. Trump that he had just gotten off the phone with Julian Assange and that Mr. Assange told Mr. Stone that, within a couple of days, there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clinton's campaign. Mr. Trump responded by stating to the effect of 'wouldn't that be great.'

9. "He once asked me if I could name a country run by a black person that wasn't a 'shithole.' This was when Barack Obama was President of the United States."

10. "He told me that black people would never vote for him because they were too stupid."

11. "He asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair, and to lie to his wife about it, which I did."

12. "This $35,000 check was one of 11 check installments that was paid throughout the year -- while he was President. The President of the United States thus wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws." [b]note, Cohen said he preferred to be paid in full but installments wouldn't raise red flags, they would be viewed as retainer fees. I may be wrong but remember he also stated that these payments (or others) were made from the foundation fund[b]

13. "I'm talking about a man who declares himself brilliant but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges, and the College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores."[b]yet points to Trump hypocrisy re his own transparency vs demanding it from Obama, Hillary etc[/b]
 Obama

14. "He finished the conversation with the following comment. 'You think I'm stupid, I wasn't going to Vietnam.'

15. "Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia. I do not."[b]passive defer to Mueller[/b]

16. "Don Jr. came into the room and walked behind his father's desk -- which in itself was unusual. People didn't just walk behind Mr. Trump's desk to talk to him. I recalled Don Jr. leaning over to his father and speaking in a low voice, which I could clearly hear, and saying: 'The meeting is all set.' I remember Mr. Trump saying, 'OK good...let me know.'"

17. "I have never asked for, nor would I accept, a pardon from President Trump."

18. "I did not want to go to the White House. I was offered jobs."

19. "[Stone] frequently reached out to Mr. Trump and Mr. Trump was very happy to take his calls. It was -- free service."

20. "Mr. Trump's desire to win would have him work with anyone."

21. "Everything was done with the knowledge of, and at the direction of, Mr. Trump."

22. "It wasn't our responsibility to be the fact checker for a news agency."

23. "They want to know what I know about Mr. Trump ... and not one question has been asked about Mr. Trump."

24. "I have no reason to believe that tape exists."[b]see #27[/b]

25. "He speaks in a code. And I understand the code because I've been around him for a decade."[/b]this explains #4 and even the dumbest of criminals would never say, hey I need you to lie to congress[/b]

26. "I have never been to Prague."[b]visited daughter in Europe[/b]

27. "I don't believe Mr. Trump ever struck Mrs. Trump, ever."[b]regarding what he believes was a bogus tape of Trump striking first lady in elevator[/b]

28. "What he didn't want was to have an entire group of thinks tanks run through his tax return ... and then he'll end up in an audit and eventually have taxable consequences."[b]AOC asked direct questions on alleged tax fraud[/b]

29. "I fear that if he loses the presidential election in 2020, there will never be a peaceful transition of power."[/quote]

It is really pathetic when you can't take the time to cite your source and pass off a posting as your own.......
