Trump says Cohen won't 'flip': How do prosecutors get witnesses to turn?
History tends to suggest the president's confidence may be misplaced.

Trump says Cohen won't 'flip': How do prosecutors get witnesses to turn?

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump tweeted over the weekend that he doubts his loyal lawyer Michael Cohen will “flip” and cooperate as a witness against him, despite a recent search warrant and an FBI raid on Cohen’s offices.

History tends to suggest Trump’s confidence is misplaced.

The path to prison is well-worn with high-profile defendants who believed that their loyal subordinates would not turn against them. In one example, Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano was charged as the consigliere, or adviser, to John Gotti, the head of the Gambino crime family of La Cosa Nostra. Gravano pleaded guilty to a racketeering charge and testified at length at trial against Gotti and Frank Locascio, the underboss of the Gambino crime family."

 

If it is found that he worked with the Russians to win the election, where exactly does that leave Mike Pence? He also benefited from Trump's actions... though I suppose they will say he wasn't directly involved.

The thing is, Pence is actually in some ways scarier than Trump.

 

Trump approves tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods

$50 billion in tariffs on China-- it's official.
You think the Chinese will have the retaliatory tariffs in place before the midterms?

I hope they target Trump's voter base as best they can.

 

are you really that stupid?
Ever hear of the bombing we did in Germany? Ever hear of the dropping of nuclear bombs on Japan? Ever hear of the Korean war?

 

Trump's Attorney General Jeff Sessions visited us in Indiana yesterday and gave a speech to a bunch of cops, with an assortment of other government officials. Indiana is serious Republican and KKK country. During the civil war era, White slavers used passages from the Bible to uphold and justify slavery. During their slave trade, the White men took children from their mothers to be sold to other White men. After the civil war, the White men created the KKK to bring back white domination over the former slaves who had been freed by the Union. Like the former slavers, Jeff Sessions yesterday used passages from the Bible to justify the taking of children from their immigrant mothers at the Texas and Mexico border. Trump & Sessions are operating a hundred detention facilities in 17 western states to hold these immigrants. Some of these facilities are warehouses which have been converted to hold underage children separate from their parents. Yesterday Sessions even went as far as to claim the law that he enforces has been anointed by God. He mentioned nothing about all the federal laws which his Republican party has violated, and nothing about the laws The Trump Campaign violations of federal law. Today Trump's former campaign manager was sent to jail for witness tampering. Sessions has not told if God has opined any about witness tampering, or illegal campaign finance, or paying a porn star for sexual activity.

 

My ayatollah said to send Manafort 72 jars of petroleum jelly...gonna need it in that place.

 

The Trump campaign has already started working with ex-Cambridge Analytica people to get ready for 2020. Cambridge was closed right after they were exposed for shenanigans the last time.

 

It is interesting and spooky to see a criminal enterprise in charge of this country. Most of the republicans have lost all sense of morality and ethics or those people would have put a stop to it. They are absolutely using our government to enrich themselves while they are in and around the office and are lining up UUUUUGE deals for after they are gone. And now we're (Sessions, Pence) making decisions according to the bible? Hypocritical pinheads. Go ahead and vote republican if you're fuckin' stupid enough. ALL that counts for them is money, money and more money. But NOT for YOU!

 

The Bible verse he quoted was also used to justify slavery at one point in our nation's history

This is why i'm not religious. Religions are too full of authoritarian bootlickers

 

You have your passion against it, just as I do...and it has made me sick....but in the long run, they are not worth it.

 

They don't make him any MONEY.

Reiterating: too bad the Puerto Ricans speak Spanish-----thousands still have no electricity.

 

It's sad to see the Republicans once again use the Bible to justify their un-Christian behavor. They work so hard to make Jesus into a gun owning stock holder. I did not know the guy personally but it's a bit silly to me. He is the exact opposite of a man concerned with what is "his" and why it is not yours.

 

Sarah Sanders continues to blame it on the Democrats (I guess some people are stupid enough to believe that, i hope i never come across anyone that stupid) and to paint the Trump administration as mere victims of the rule of law

And the tents i just really have no words to convey how I feel about that.

 

and the kicker is....and then it somehow becomes our fault.....I got it.
