Michael Cohen flips.

[RockHardNYC]

It seems official. Cohen is talking to Mueller's team.

Cohen takes a plea deal.

Whoever didn't get the Hell out of the Taxi business the moment Uber and Lyft emerged is an idiot when it comes to business.

He's also someone who avoided paying taxes, intimidated eyewitnesses and betrayed his own country for money. He ain't the bigger fish but I hope he goes to jail for a long time.

Maybe. I still use taxis. Manhattan may be the exception. Smart competition tends to thrive here.

If he gets jail time, he may be taking something more unpleasant, depending how you feel about going lubricant-free.

I don't like rape jokes... but I LOVE THIS one!

He even looks like a snob!

To me, he looks more like an arrogant prick. He's got the face and attitude of a lawyer who is accustomed to making mob members happy.

Get ready for the Twitterstorm. He must be feeling cornered.

Take him down!  The guy is a bum!

I found this a very interesting turn of events. A high priced lawyer like Cohen would not plead to anything unless there was a shitload of evidence that is irrefutable.

[RA1]

I don't think there is anything that is irrefutable in politics and that is exactly what this is.  What puzzles me is if Cohen is or was really that tight with Trump why try to throw him under the bus now?  That pretty well eliminates any hope of a pardon, no?

Best regards,

The shit-tons of physical evidence the Feds seized from Cohen's premises, and his cell-phone recordings of DJT instructing him to do illegal things in re Stormy Daniels and the other one, which we have now heard firsthand in the media, would seem about as irrefutable as they come. Not political: criminal.

It is amazing how facts can be viewed so differently by various factions.

This is the. Same lawyer that was secretly recording his clients.  

Right now he would plead guilty to sexual assault of his mother when she breast fed him as an infant if it would keep the serious charges off his back.

I hear Trump taught Cohen to do this. Recording people in meetings without their knowledge has been a Trump tactic for decades. Roy Cohn taught Trump to do this. In NYC business, this has never been a secret. Everyone knew if they were taking a meeting with Trump it would be recorded.

If Michael Cohen brings down Trump, Cohen will go down in history as a hero. The man who saved the United States of America from Trumpism.

I can't wait.

Everyone pleads. (or gets the book thrown at them in sentencing). 

A good lawyer like him gets the best plea deal. 

[RA1]

Pleading can be a good deal for the guilty and, obviously, for the prosecution.  The guilty likely will receive a reduced sentence and the prosecution (tax payers) are saved the expense of a trial.  Not such a good deal for the innocent or ignorant.  However, still could be the best deal.

America, the country where Trump was elected president and where Cohen and Omarosa may become heroes.

@Latbear4blk was making, I believe, a morbid -- and true -- joke on current (and past) affairs such as H.L. Mencken used to do.

This statement is a wholesale repudiation of the integrity of our judicial system.

If you know of a better one, we are all ears.

I infer no blame.  This is merely how it works.

You do not like then the written genre of irony?

That would seem to eliminate about three-fifths of all of literature.

See for further elucidation if interested Anatomy of Criticism, Northrop Frye.

You will truly appreciate & apprehend both.

I don't view what is written here as literature.
