SpruceBringsteen Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Bad news lads, that's Hannity on Twitter saying he's never used renowned sex pervert defender Michael Cohen, and well maybe he did, but it was for a real estate issue, and he's actually never even heard of Michael Cohen and HEY!

LOOK OVER THERE! WHAT'S THAT?!!! Haha this is tremendous because his exact words were that Cohen has "never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees". If this were true and he really never retained him, then under normal circumstances he'd still be 99.9% likely to have complete confidentiality because no one is ever going to say, raid the lawyer's office and find whatever documents of yours the office has. But this is that 0.1%, since the FBI already has raided Cohen's office! And now Hannity has said Cohen's not his lawyer. So anything with Hannity's name on it? Not attorney-client privileged. After all, Hannity has come out and said Cohen's not his lawyer. What privilege? I really hope it actually goes down like that. We're already in highly uncharted legal territory here so who knows, but either way I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I just watched Sean Hannity on tv. He stated quite bluntly that he has known Cohen for a long time he says he has never been a client of Cohen. He goes on to say that he has discussed legal matters with Cohen, but has never received a bill, never made any payment,does not have an account He does suggest that his conversations which were confidential would still qualify for Attorney c lient privilege. A legal expert on the program when asked was attorney client privilege justified in this case, his response was basically to laugh and say it depends on whom you ask. He opined that because the conversation was in confidence may qualify, but if I picked him up properly did say that nowhere does it say that there has to be a retainer involved to qualify a matter for attorney client privilege. Of course the sceptics on TV and those of us here would ask why do you need it if the conversations are nothing to do with the Trump situation or Cohens alleged criminal acts. Hannity has been reported to have had dinner with Trump at his Florida resort, and played golf with him, there does seem to be a relationship there, it seems to be felt by most that Hannity when reporting, particularly when so much is in favor of Trump transparency would require that he make some of these connections known. In every cloud there is a silver lining, The EPA secretary Pruitt, a favored member of the Trump cabinet has been screwing the taxpayer royally with his expenses on tax payer money. If it wasn't for all this other crap he would have been being pilloried mercilessly, instead he is carrying on as he pleases and his boss Trump gives him glowing reports.

It's all part of Trump's hidden plan to drain the swamp. Also part of the plan is Trump's retaining control of his family businesses, and promoting those businesses at every opportunity while he's President.

Sharpie Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Kakistocracy certainly an excellent word. Nikki Hayley tells United Nations about further U.S. sanctions on Russia. A short time later the President contradicts this, and totally embarrasses the poor woman. Some reports suggest she is in fact quite angry about this. I just watched a Republican congressman stating about how tough the President is on Russia and he is still working on the sanctions with Congress. It is along time since I interviewed a suspect, and knew immediately by facial expression that not the whole truth was being told, I have to say I had a bit of a flashback when I looked right at this Congressmans face. I suppose my political leanings would probably have made me a Republican in the States if I lived there, but this particular present group by their constant yeilding to a bully is at the least not good and is diminishing the character and reputation of what was a fine political party. This congressman praised Trump for his strength in dealing with Russia, and his dealings with Putin. I would agree Trump portrays strength against Russia, I do however feel that the strength shown is the amount Putin allows him to show.

Maple Leaf Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Stormy Daniels lawyer, Michael Avenatti, just dropped some bombshell predictions to Jake Tapper on CNN. He is confidently predicting that Michael Cohen will soon be indicted with serious criminal charges, that he will sing like a canary about his dealings with Trump over the last few years, and that Trump will have no choice but to resign the Presidency. If the misogynist Trump were to be brought down by a whore, the irony would be delightful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I'm having considerable difficulty in understanding the point you're trying to make in your post. You say that Comey is going down because Clinton is not there when they need her. Twice. And who is "they"? You mention pesky paper trails. Twice. What paper trails? You say the Russians are coming. Twice. Are they really? You say that there is an attempted coup underway. By whom? If you are claiming that a supposed coup is being led by some mythical 'deep state', you should provide some evidence that such an organisation exists, and has the power to overturn Presidential elections. Otherwise it's just speculation. My view is that there doesn't need to be a coup to get rid of Trump. The corrupt liar will do it all by himself.

Given "the truths you posted", I have a simple proposal for you. Above, you wrote: "Comey is going down". From this, I assume you mean that Comey is going to jail. This was one of your 'truths'. But that's cool. I bet 100 pounds sterling that he's not. That James Comey, contrary to your 'truths', is not going to jail and does not go to jail. You're quite fortunate I've not called you out on many other statements you've made on this thread - which stated, as apparent 'truths', that Obama is going down, and Hillary is going down, and goodness knows who else in the disease-ravaged corners of your tiny little mind is going down. That's because, contrary to what you might believe, I tend not to take that much pleasure in the verbal equivalent of kicking a blind man's walking stick away. So I'll just focus on what you said about Comey. Given these are apparent 'truths', it should be free money for you, right? The loser of the bet pays the Foundation of Hearts 100 quid. And given you posted, as 'truth', that "Comey is going down", it is for you to name the expriry date of this bet - for you to tell us by what point he will have 'gone down'.

You say that Comey is going down because Clinton is not there when they need her. Twice. And who is "they"? You mention pesky paper trails. Twice. What paper trails? You say the Russians are coming. Twice. Are they really? You say that there is an attempted coup underway. By whom? If you are claiming that a supposed coup is being led by some mythical 'deep state', you should provide some evidence that such an organisation exists, and has the power to overturn Presidential elections. Otherwise it's just speculation. My view is that there doesn't need to be a coup to get rid of Trump. The corrupt liar will do it all by himself. The entire Russia collusion debacle has evaporated completely. Ludwig Boltzmann will be smiling. We now have Trump v The Storm and the raid on MC the lawyer to entertain. With the Special Investigation tweeting blanks the Democrat Party have filed a suit alleging that Russia, Trump and Wikileaks conspired to disrupt the 2016 election. This should keep the narrative simmering for the next couple of years. Come on, it’s a witch hunt isn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it isn't a witch hunt, and Trump can call it that until he's blue in the face, but it doesn't change anything. The Russians interfered in the election to Trump's advantage. All US intelligence services agree on that point. If Trump truly has nothing to hide, why doesn't he turn over his tax returns to the Mueller investigation? He won't do that, so the question is, what is he hiding? Trump doesn't seem to realise that the Mueller investigation is the best way for him to be proven innocent, yet he's battling it every step of the way. Why? In recent interviews, James Comey, a lifelong Republican, has acknowledged that his announcement about re-opening the Clinton email investigation shortly before the election, when he realised that Clinton was likely to win, changed the dynamic of the election and put Trump into the White House. If there has been a witch hunt, it was Clinton who was hunted, not Trump. If there have been any behind-the-scenes manipulations, it was Trump who was the beneficiary.

Most notably, through Rudy Giuliani, who announced what he'd been told by rogue FBI agents on FOX bloody News. The article makes many good points. But when the leader of any country is an obvious threat to national security, and when the legislature does precisely nothing to stop him, I'm afraid the deep state does need to check this. If Corbyn becomes PM, we can probably expect something similar in Britain: especially if he does something really stupid re: Russia. As Gorgiewave put it the other week, states focus first and foremost on survival. And that's why this sort of deep infrastructure is in place in pretty much all major world states.

Deep state imo is exactly why we end up with a president such as Trump. And why Syria happened. And that along with the bank bailouts show that we now live under fascism. And have done for decades. Obviously a tin foil hat view but I make no apology for that. At least deep state is now acknowledged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
