Breaking News !! Trump was working with Russia on real estate deals WHILE a candidate and lied.
In response to: Michael Cohen Takes Mueller Inside the Trump Organization
The president’s former personal lawyer admitted lying to Congress about efforts in 2016 to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
In a Manhattan federal court on Thursday, President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the timing of his negotiations to build a Trump Tower Moscow in 2016, and how often he discussed the deal with Trump during the campaign. The guilty plea is the first Mueller has secured that is related directly to Trump’s business dealings—and may be just the tip of the iceberg in the ongoing investigation of business deals involving the Trump Organization and Russian financiers, inside and outside the Kremlin.
With Trump now at war with someone who for years was his most loyal lieutenant and fixer, Cohen’s court appearance underscored the peril he presents for the president, unsettled by dramatic Democratic gains in the midterms and facing the prospect of unending offshoot probes by newly emboldened Democratic committee chairman.
The plea includes evidence, for the first time, that could show how Trump was compromised by Russia while Russian President Vladimir Putin was waging a direct attack on the 2016 election. The formal agreement also incentivizes Cohen, the former executive vice president of the Trump Organization and Trump’s right-hand man for over a decade, to tell Mueller everything he knows—and sets Cohen up as a more credible witness should Mueller ask him to testify in the future. Significantly, the guilty plea was finalized after Trump submitted his written answers to Mueller, who reportedly asked Trump specifically about the Moscow deal. (Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said on Thursday that Trump’s written answers matched the story that Cohen had told Mueller.)
Cohen, moreover, has indicated that he has no loyalty to the president and does not want or expect a presidential pardon. He has also not been sharing information with the president’s legal team throughout the course of his cooperation with Mueller, as Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been. Whereas Manafort has kept one foot in the door of Trumpworld, Cohen severed his ties to the president months ago. “The real wild card for Trump is Cohen,” said a veteran Washington lawyer who requested anonymity because he represents a client involved in the Russia probe. “It’s obvious that Cohen knows more about Trump’s business activities over the last decade than just about anyone.”
Cohen admitted on Thursday that he lied to Congress about how often he and Trump had spoken about the deal in 2016, and acknowledged that he had tried to organize a trip for Trump to Russia in 2016 to scope out the potential project after Trump clinched the Republican nomination. He lied both to minimize Trump’s link to the Moscow project, and to limit “the ongoing Russia investigations,” according to Mueller’s team. The criminal information filed by Mueller’s office on Thursday makes clear that Cohen contacted the Kremlin “asking for assistance in connection with the Moscow Project” in January 2016.
Dan Goldman, a former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York where he focused on organized crime, said he believes that the plea agreement is “a prelude to forthcoming indictments and other investigative steps. Before using information from a cooperating witness, prosecutors generally like to ‘lock in’ the witness through a guilty plea,” Goldman said. “So I would expect more to come arising out of, at least in part, Michael Cohen’s cooperation.”
It isn’t just Trump who may be in legal danger now that Cohen is cooperating—it’s also his family members, who Cohen admitted to briefing on the Trump Tower Moscow deal in 2016.....

Pelosi announces official Trump Impeachment inquiry - "No one is above the law"
Today in Market Watch;
This is way overdue. Congress should have done the right thing (impeachment inquiry) long ago.
In response to:
Pelosi announces Trump impeachment inquiry, saying ‘no one is above the law’
By Robert Schroeder
Published: Sept 24, 2019 6:10 p.m. ET
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday announced an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, amid a growing drumbeat of criticism following reports that Trump pressed Ukraine’s president to investigate Joe Biden and his son.
“The president must be held accountable. No one is above the law,” said Pelosi, a California Democrat.
Speaking on Capitol Hill, Pelosi said “the actions of the Trump presidency revealed the dishonorable fact of the president’s betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections.”
Earlier Tuesday, Trump said on Twitter he approved a Wednesday release of a transcript of the July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. However, Democrats are seeking the details of a whistleblower complaint that deals with the Zelensky call. Pelosi demanded it be turned over to Congress by the acting director of national intelligence.
“He will have to choose whether to break the law or honor his responsibility to the Constitution,” Pelosi said about acting DNI Joseph McGuire.
Trump blasted the impeachment move in a tweet moments after Pelosi finished speaking, saying “So bad for our Country!”
Speaking in New York at the United Nations Trump told reporters he withheld aid to Ukraine, but that the move wasn’t used as leverage.
“There was no quid pro quo,” Trump said. “There was no pressure applied, nothing.”
Pelosi has previously been reluctant to back impeachment, saying she preferred for Trump to be defeated in the 2020 election. She said she is directing the House committees already probing Trump to continue doing so under the “umbrella of impeachment inquiry.”
Even if Trump were impeached by the House, a trial could be held in the Senate. With the Senate in Republican control, a case could be dismissed immediately.
More than half of the House’s 235 Democrats support an impeachment investigation. However, that isn’t enough for impeachment, which requires a simple majority of the entire House.
U.S. stocks DJIA, -0.53% closed lower on Tuesday, amid reports that Pelosi would announce the impeachment inquiry.

Nice Witches
On Woman’s Hour this morning (BBC Radio 4, 10:00am), the presenter was interviewing two witches. For most people the word “witch” has negative connotations, but these witches seemed like two very nice women. Their witchcraft mostly consisted of messing about with assorted herb combinations and directing various types of energy hither and thither. Both said they have never put a spell on anyone, as witches tend to believe that what they give out comes back to them "three fold". I don’t normally have much patience with this sort of thing but these witches sounded so nice that I didn’t mind at all.
My Visitor
An entity has appeared in my room twice now; on the second occasion I managed to capture its image. I don't know what it is but I sense it means me no harm.
So, I hear Trump was a big hit in the UK.
Well, not Dirty Don himself. He got snubbed by Prince Charles and Kate.
Plus, there were thousands of protestors in both England and Scotland.
The place that used to be the USA's biggest ally.
Thanks to Trump, our 4 strongest allies have been turned off of the US.
But, the Trump spoiled baby balloon was a big hit.
That sounds appropriate. Hopefully the baby can at least spell better and offend less people.
An that's no "confefe".
I hear it will soon be appearing in both Philadelphia and New Jersey.
If you see it, be sure to wave.
Or, if you are in the "basket of deplorables", perhaps you can at least wave one of your fingers.
Truly, I guess it's a close call as to which Trump is more of a gasbag, has more of an inflated ego,
and is more full of hot air.
So, now it's off to Russia for Trump to meet with the guy who financed his campaign
and perhaps make another pisser of a video.
He's given the phrase 'trickle down' an entirely different
governmental financial connotation.

In response to: The newly infamous Trump Baby balloon could soon be flying high above protestors in Philadelphia.
This week President Donald Trump was faced with tens of thousands of protestors throughout his travels in the UK. The most defining image of the gatherings?
The 20-foot tall balloon depicting an angry, orange "Baby Donald" clad only in a diaper and holding a cellphone.
