Trump’s Recall of Moscow Deal Matches Cohen’s, President’s Lawyers Say
President Trump’s recollection of discussions about building a Trump Tower in Moscow aligned with those of his longtime fixer Michael D. Cohen, the president’s lawyers said on Thursday after Mr. Cohen admitted in court that he had pursued the project as Mr. Trump secured the Republican nomination for president.
The president knew about the deal and discussed it with Mr. Cohen before it fell apart, Mr. Trump’s lawyers said. Mr. Trump detailed those conversations last week in written responses to investigators for the special counsel investigating Russia’s 2016 election interference, Robert S. Mueller III. Prosecutors had sought to question Mr. Trump for months and eventually agreed to accept written answers for some queries.

What Cohen’s Plea Deal Means for Trump, His Business and Mueller
Robert Mueller has for the
first time publicly connected Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and business to the Russian government
Michael Cohen admitted that he spoke with Trump and Russian officials as late as June 2016
-- a month before Trump officially accepted the Republican presidential nomination --
about a potential business deal in Moscow that Cohen told Congress had ended months earlier.
Here are the key takeaways from Cohen’s plea for lying to Congress:
It ties Trump to Russia during the campaign.
It doesn’t prove collusion or conspiracy by itself.
It adds to a list of Russian contacts with Trump associates.
It gives Mueller an opening into Trump’s business.
It contradicts Trump’s past statements.
It suggests Cohen may have offered other information.
It underscores that the list of guilty pleas keeps growing.

Donald Trump Claims Everyone Knew About Secret Russian Deal No One Knew About (https://theintercept.com/2018/11/29/donald-trump-claims-everyone-knew-secret-russian-deal-no-one-knew/)
In fact, the existence of such a project,
which was being negotiated in secret during the entire span of the Republican primary campaign —
from at least October 2015, when Trump signed a letter of intent (http://uk.businessinsider.com/trump-tower-moscow-letter-of-intent-2017-9?r=US&IR=T) with a Russian developer,
through January 2016,
when Cohen called an aide to Putin’s spokesman (https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1068160464230731776), until some time after
Trump secured the nomination in June — was not known or reported on at the time.
The Moscow project only became public knowledge after Trump’s inauguration as president the following year.
It was briefly mentioned in a 2017 New York Times report (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/19/us/politics/donald-trump-ukraine-russia.html)
about another covert scheme also involving Cohen and
Felix Sater, a convicted felon, former F.B.I. informant and longtime fixer for the Trump Organization with deep ties in Russia (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/28/us/politics/trump-tower-putin-felix-sater.html).

These Are the Republican Leaks James Comey Is Citing to Avoid Testifying Behind Closed Doors
announcing there was no chance he would allow a “closed door thing.”
He did, however, say he was still willing to answer questions.
“I’ve seen enough of [House Republicans’] selective leaking and distortion,” he said.
“Let’s have a hearing and invite everyone to see.”
Comey’s lawyer David Kelley followed up on that remark by saying that his client
“will resist in Court this abuse of process.”
Comey’s attorney argues from the start that the closed-door meeting
“exceeds a proper legislative purpose,
is issued in violation of House rules, and
unduly prejudices and harasses a witness.”
“The abusive pattern of selective leaking by the Joint Committees is by now clearly established, and
was in fact recently acknowledged by the Chair of one Committee,” the filing continues.
“[T]he members of the Joint Committees have
consistently leaked the ostensibly secret testimony of many — if not all — of the witnesses who have come before them,” the motion says.
Then they started naming names:
fired deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe,
fired FBI agent Peter Strzok,
former FBI lawyer Lisa Page,
former DOJ lawyer Bruce Ohr,
to name a few.
“Because the secrecy here is pretextual, because the Joint Committees have abused their powers with selective leaks, and
because Mr. Comey is willing to testify in public,
the Joint Committees’ insistence that Mr. Comey appear in private should be closely scrutinized
to determine whether exception to the presumption of openness applies,”

'Pages of lies': Democratic lawmaker reveals how Devin Nunes has buried key evidence in the Russia probe
Rep. Eric Swalwell is convinced that the outgoing GOP House Intelligence chairman has covered for Trump's wrongdoing.
one person who does not come off looking good amid the whole affair is outgoing House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA),
Nunes, a close ally of Trump, has gone to great lengths to twist his committee's investigative power away from Trump's ties to Russia and

They All Lied.
They’re All Guilty.
Sometimes it’s worth stepping back and stating the obvious.
Over the course of these thirty months of cover-ups,
every player in the Trump/Russia story has lied about their role in the conspiracy.
And not hedging and spinning fibs
but straight up lies about the core nature of their involvement, their overt acts.
Most – though here what we know is a bit more tentative – seem to have lied under oath,
whether to congressional committees or a grand jury.
Not a single one of them told a story that wasn’t eventually contradicted and disproved.
Not a single one.
Who? Well, let’s see.
Donald Trump, Jr.,
Michael Cohen,
Michael Flynn,
George Papadopoulos,
Donald Trump,
Jerome Corsi,
Roger Stone,
Paul Manafort,
Rick Gates,
Carter Page,
Jared Kushner.
These are ones who lied, the ones we can state definitively.
President Trump has been at war with the Russia investigation from the get-go for an obvious and totally logical reason:
the depth of his personal involvement in and knowledge of the conspiracy
amounts to a devastating indictment of him and his presidency.
It all makes perfect sense.

He is really stupid if he was caught off guard.
Criminals know exactly what crimes they committed. We knew two years ago - Trump would NEVER sit down and testify under oath - willingly.
Two weeks before his inauguration - when he was given a classified briefing by the US intel agencies -
Trump knew right then what crimes he committed and he started right then - attempting to cover up his crimes and conspiring with Russia and betraying the US -right then. TWO WEEKS before taking office - he had already turned his back on the US and committed treason.

Michael Cohen makes 33There’s evidence that at least
26 high-level Trump advisers and campaign operatives
were aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the candidate’s 2016 campaign and his transition.
According to a report,
Trump’s team has made more than 92 contacts with Russia-linked operatives
to discuss and collaborate on issues ranging from election meddling to business deals,
despite blanket denials by all involved that they had relations with the Russians.
Cohen is the 33rd person Mueller has charged in connection to the Russia probe.
FiveThirtyEight makes a case for why he’s the most important one.

The Frankfurt headquarters of Deutsche Bank have been raided by prosecutors in a money laundering investigation.
Germany's public prosecutor alleged that two staff members have helped clients launder money from criminal activities.
Police cars were seen outside the tower blocks that house the headquarters of Germany's biggest bank.
Five other Deutsche offices in the city were searched in an operation involving about 170 police and officials.
Prosecutors are looking into whether Deutsche Bank staff helped clients set up offshore accounts to "transfer money from criminal activities".
The investigation, which began in August, focuses on activities between 2013 and the start of 2018.
In 2016 alone, more than 900 customers were served by a Deutsche Bank subsidiary registered in the British Virgin Islands, generating a volume of €311m, the prosecutors allege.
The investigation was sparked by revelations in the 2016 "Panama Papers" - an enormous amount of information leaked from a Panamanian law firm called Mossack Fonseca.
If, as I believe, Trump has been laundering money for Russian mafia, as is likely, Trumps transactions would likely be in there. Deutsche Bank is about to be dragged across the coals by German prosecutors.

8 times Trump denied doing business in Russia (https://theweek.com/speedreads/810185/8-times-trump-denied-doing-business-russia)
1. July 26, 2016: "I mean, I have nothing to do with Russia. I don't have any jobs in Russia. I'm all over the world but we're not involved in Russia," Trump tells CBS4 (https://miami.cbslocal.com/2016/07/27/cbs4-news-exclusive-trump-denies-ties-to-russia/).
2. July 26, 2016: "For the record, I have ZERO investments in Russia," Trump tweets (https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/758071952498159616).
3. Oct. 6, 2016: During the second presidential debate (https://twitter.com/davidmackau/status/1068172853407870976), Hillary Clinton says Russia is trying to help elect Trump, "maybe because he wants to do business in Moscow." Trump calls this assessment "so ridiculous," adding, "I know nothing about Russia ... I don't deal there."
4. Oct. 24, 2016: "I have nothing to do with Russia folks, I'll give you a written statement," Trump says (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/24/donald-trump-attacks-media-pollsters-florida) at a campaign rally.
5. Jan. 11, 2017: Trump tells reporters (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/11/us/politics/trump-press-conference-transcript.html) that he has "no deals that could happen in Russia because we've stayed away," adding that he could "make deals in Russia very easily" but "I just don't want to because I think that would be a conflict."

‘Individual 1’: Trash emerges as a central subject of Mueller probe
President Trump has been labeled in the parlance of criminal investigations as a major subject of interest, complete with an opaque legal code name: “Individual 1.”
Mueller III’s investigation casts fresh doubts on Trump’s version of key events involving Russia,
signaling potential political and legal peril for the president.
Investigators have now publicly cast Trump as a central figure of their probe
into whether Trump’s campaign conspired with the Russian government during the 2016 campaign.investigators have evidence that
Trump was in close contact with his lieutenants
as they made outreach to both Russia and WikiLeaks — and
that they tried to conceal the extent of their activities.

National security expert bashes Sarah Sanders for ‘echoing Russian talking points’ about Putin meeting
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement denouncing the Mueller investigation,
yet claiming that the reason for the cancelled meeting was the situation with Ukraine.
“Hopefully, that will be resolved soon so that productive conversations can begin,”
Samantha Vinograd was not convinced, noting the
suspicious similarity between the White House statement and the message broadcast by state Russian media.“Well, it’s very clear she’s echoing Russian talking points,”
“We heard the Russians blaming U.S. politics for the reason President Trump has canceled the meeting.”

Senate Committee Refers Perjury Cases to Mueller For Prosecution

Mueller is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and Burr’s committee has done its own investigation into the same matter.
Burr disclosed that after witnesses were questioned in the Intelligence Committee’s Russia probe several were suspected of lying.
“We have made referrals from our committee to the special counsel for prosecution,” Burr said at a national security conference in Austin, Texas.
“In a lot of those cases, those might be tied to lying to us.”

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow explains how we finally know why Mike Flynn lied
'Compromised by Russia from the very beginning.'
Rachel Maddow went back to the start of the saga, when Donald Trump staffers like Michael Flynn and his aide K. T. McFarland were the focus of investigation and speculation.
"The big question about Flynn—and this has been raised over and over again by critics of the Mueller investigation—why did Mike Flynn lie about this?" Maddow asked.
"There's always been
something hard to figure out about the Flynn case... why did Mike Flynn lie about this stuff?"
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow explains how we finally know why Mike Flynn lied
Flynn was fired from his job as national security adviser after he apparently lied to Vice President Mike Pence about his communication with Russian officials.
But this was far from his only lie, Maddow said.
"Mike Flynn also lied about those conversations he had with Russia talking about sanctions," she said.
"He lied in public.
He lied to reporters.
He lied to the FBI.
Why were they lying about it?
I mean, on its face,
they didn't need to. It would make sense that they'd be talking about sanctions to the Russian government conceivably.
They're the top two security officials in the National Security Agency for the incoming administration.
Obviously there is going to be a change on the policy. It's not that weird.
But they lied about it."
Because Flynn and McFarland lied, Maddow said, "they were both compromised by Russia from the very beginning."
"The story about Russian government hackers being exposed for their role in trying to get into our elections—
that was the reason they stopped working on the Trump Tower project that day.
The secret project they'd been working on for many, many, many months including direct contact with the Kremlin and planned travel to Moscow stopped that day.
Why? What was the connection between those two things?"
"If the big picture Russian dream here is to have their very own president of the U.S.A.,
if their dream is to compromise an American presidential candidate so that candidate is beholden to them and then install that compromised candidate as president,
then the Trump Tower Moscow project which compromises Trump and the election interference campaign [ruins it],"

Ex-DOJ: Trump is “talking like the head of a drug cartel”
Justice Department officials says Trump violated oath of office by attacking Michael Cohen for guilty plea
“That clip that you played earlier on the south lawn of the White House talking about Michael Cohen being weak as opposed to some other people,” said Matthew Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman.
“Who does he mean by the other people?” Miller continued.
“He means Paul Manafort, who has torn up his cooperation agreement, and
I suspect he means Roger Stone, who continues to say he will not cooperate with the special counsel.”
Miller said those comments may have violated the president’s oath of office.
“The president is talking like a mob boss,” Miller said.
“He’s talking like the head of a drug cartel,
not like the president of the United States who swore to uphold and take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
“I think it was a remarkable moment to see the
president talk about people who cooperate with law enforcement are weak and
people who don’t cooperate or that lie to the Justice Department or
that try to protect criminals
are strong.
A really, really awful moment for the president and awful moment for the country.”

Republicans trivialize Trump associates' illegal acts as mere 'process crimes' (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/11/30/1816298/-Republicans-trivialize-Trump-associates-illegal-acts-as-mere-process-crimes)
Republicans are calling him a victim of the special counsel's fixation on so-called "process crimes."
And by using the term "process crimes," they're apparently
trying to insulate Trump from legal jeopardy
related to the 191 charges (https://twitter.com/RepJerryNadler/status/1068197774385139712) Robert Mueller has now brought against 30 individuals,
As the MaddowBlog's Steve Benen notes (http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/defend-trump-republicans-scoff-process-crimes):
[Sen. Lindsey] Graham, who has emerged as one of Trump’s fiercest defenders, said he had “no idea what that’s all about” :lol
when asked his reaction to Cohen’s guilty plea, adding that it
“seems to be a process crime.”
Soon after, Rush Limbaugh complained (http://nomoremister.blogspot.com/2018/11/theyve-settled-on-catchphrase.html),
“Every one of Mueller’s indictments is a process crime.”
Process crimes are apparently crimes committed during the investigation of a crime, rather than the actual crime being investigated.
all Trump boosters are now on-message about "process crimes, not cover-ups,"
likely because one of the most oft-repeated political adages since Watergate is: "
It's not the crime, it's the cover-up."
(https://www.dailykos.com/stories/1816298)
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/1816298
So the anti-American Repug/hate media "message" is that coverup crimes are ok, yawn.
But what about the Trash + mafiya crime(s) being covered up?
Early in my reporting that unraveled the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion probe, tying it to Hillary Clinton's campaign and possible Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses, I started to see patterns just as in the old mob meetings: FBI or intelligence-connected figures kept showing up in Trump Town USA during the 2016 campaign with a common calling card.
The question now is, who sent them and why?
Interviews with more than 50 witnesses in the Trump case and reviews of hundreds of pages of court filings confirm the following:
At least six people with long-established ties to the FBI or to U.S. and Western intelligence made entrees to key figures in the Trump business organization or his presidential campaign between March and October 2016;
Campaign figures were contacted by at least two Russian figures whose justification for being in the United States were rare law enforcement parole visas controlled by the U.S. Justice Department;
Intelligence or diplomatic figures connected to two of America's closest allies, Britain and Australia, gathered intelligence or instigated contacts with Trump campaign figures during that same period;
Some of the conversations and contacts that were monitored occurred on foreign soil and resulted in the creation of transcripts;
Nearly all of the contacts involved the same overture - a discussion about possible political dirt or stolen emails harmful to Hillary Clinton, or unsolicited business in London or Moscow;
Several of the contacts occurred before the FBI formally launched a legally authorized probe into the Trump campaign and possible collusion on July 31, 2016.
The recipients of these overtures are all household names, thanks to the infamy of the now very public probe - Paul Manafort, Donald Trump Jr., Michael Cohen, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn, Sam Clovis and Roger Stone, to name a few.
Some of the instigators of the contacts have been acknowledged in public: Professor Stefan Halper, Russian businessman Hank Greenberg, former MI6 agent Christopher Steele and former FBI informer Felix Sater, who is "Individual 2" identified in the Cohen plea deal this week.
Others I identified through interviews, but U.S. officials have asked me to keep them private to avoid compromising their identities or nexus to intelligence and law enforcement work.
The chances that so many would converge into then-candidate Donald Trump's circle, in such a short period around an election, are about as rare as winning the Mega Millions lottery. In other words, most were not coincidences. A few, maybe, but not all.
And that leaves the biggest question: Who dispatched or controlled each emissary?

Trump Aides ‘Caught in Web of Deception’ About Russia
Seemingly everyone involved tried to cover up (https://www.politicususa.com/2018/11/14/mueller-trump-russia-participants.html) Russian contacts during the 2016 campaign and transition period, the AP reported.
Most observers have said that they have never seen
so many people lying so extensively
while attempting to hide the truth in such a situation.
The large number of lies to the FBI and to Congress,
instead of covering up the truth, have raised new questions,
leading to new insights about Trump’s connections to Russia.
What has emerged is “a portrait of aides eager to protect the president and the administration by
concealing communications they presumably recognized as problematic,”
The false statements by so many witnesses highlight Mueller’s mission, which is to cut through the lies as he seeks the truth of what happened between the Trump campaign and Russia. This is the only way he will be able to establish the existence of a conspiracy to sway the 2016 presidential election.
Mueller’s investigation has been seeking truthful answers to the following key questions:
Why did the incoming Trump administration discouraged Russia from retaliating over sanctions imposed for election hacking;
Who knew about illegally obtained Democratic emails, and when did they know it; and
How were plans made for a Trump Tower in Moscow and who was involved in these plans?
Daniel Petalas, a defense lawyer and former Justice Department prosecutor pointed out that
when so many lies are told by so many people,
it indicates that they are covering up some extremely important information.

Trump's Mueller problems deepen, worrying allies
Trump's problems are deepening after a dramatic week in the Robert Mueller probe, and even his allies are worried about what might come next.
Trump has become increasingly enraged about the special counsel's probe after a week in which his former personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress and affirmed his full cooperation with Mueller.
Mueller also stepped away from a cooperation agreement with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, accusing Manafort of lying. And the author and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi publicized a draft plea agreement with Mueller, even as he rejected that deal.
"It is something that has again taken the president way off message, and it creates a sense of political doom or disaster," said one Republican strategist with ties to the White House. "It's hard to tell what you're dealing with - until you actually have charges."
Another GOP operative had an even pithier summation: "Darkness falling," the source said.

Mueller’s targets seem to share a problem: They tell whoppers
After lying to the Internal Revenue Service to avoid paying taxes and lying to banks to obtain fraudulent mortgages, Paul Manafort was convicted last August — and then pledged to tell the truth as part of a plea deal to avert a second trial.
But prosecutors say Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, lied about that too — and they told a federal judge Friday they may file new charges against him. A day earlier, Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about seeking a Moscow real estate deal.
Trump’s closest former aides and associates have told brazen, audacious and criminal whoppers in the wide-ranging investigation led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
“It’s like an organized crime consortium where everyone is lying and obfuscating, except it’s an investigation of the president of the United States and his campaign,”
said Harry Litman, a University of California law professor and former federal prosecutor.
“It’s such a hall of mirrors.”
Trump has cheered witnesses who resist cooperating with the special counsel’s office, and he accused prosecutors on Mueller’s team of encouraging Manafort and other suspects to lie.
“If you told the truth, you go to jail,” the president complained
Nick Akerman, who worked with the Watergate special prosecutor, said witnesses "baldly lied" to the grand jury investigating the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in 1972 and the subsequent cover-up by the Nixon White House.
“If I had to charge everybody with perjury and convict all of them, I’d still be there,” Akerman said. :lol
“This many liars is unusual,” said Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney in Michigan.
"This group seems particularly persistent."

“Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s former personal lawyer who has twice pleaded guilty to crimes that have implicated Mr. Trump in illegal or questionable conduct,
asked a federal judge late Friday night that he be allowed to avoid prison when he is sentenced in less than two weeks.
In a deeply personal memorandum that expressed Mr. Cohen’s contrition and shame and portrayed him as a man whose personal and professional lives had been shattered,
his lawyers cited his cooperation with the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, whose legitimacy is regularly denounced by the president.”
Mr. Cohen consulted with White House staff members and Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers as he prepared for his false congressional testimony, according to the memo.”

“Special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors have told defense lawyers in recent weeks that they are ‘tying up loose ends’ in their investigation,
providing the clearest clues yet that the long-running probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election may be coming to its climax,
potentially in the next few weeks,
according to multiple sources close to the matter.”

Trump biographer: The president has been compromised by the Russians “for decades”
“I believe most of the GOP leadership has been compromised by” Russian money, author Craig Unger added
A biographer who detailed the relationship between Donald Trump and the Russian mob (https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/a1ip6e/im_craig_unger_journalist_and_nyt_bestselling/) explained that Russia’s financial links to the United States extend far beyond the president.
Craig Unger, author of "House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia," wrote in a Reddit AMA that one of the biggest surprise in his book is how Trump has been compromised “for decades.” (https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/a1ip6e/im_craig_unger_journalist_and_nyt_bestselling/)
“Trump was first compromised by the Russians in the Eighties back in the days of the Soviet Union and the Cold War,” Unger wrote.
“In 1984, my book shows, the
Russian Mafia first began to use Trump real estate to launder money and
it continued for decades and
may have accounted for billions of dollars flowing to Trump.”
In 1998, he added, Trump took out full-page ads in the New York Times and the Washington Post after his first trip to Russia that touted “a foreign policy that was very anti-NATO.”
In the 90’s, Unger wrote, Russians began sending money to Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas,
He also suggested that the mafia was sending money to other Republicans as well.
“I believe most of the GOP leadership has been compromised by” Russian money, the author added.
“The Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee run by Mitch McConnell got millions from [Soviet-born businessman] Leonard Blavatnik.”

Rudy Giuliani’s defense of Trump tweet ‘gets you very, very close to witness tampering’
Rudy Giuliani’s defense of President Donald Trump sounds like the excuses offered by everyone prosecuted for witness tampering,
president’s attorney didn’t do his client any favors by admitting Trump was trying to direct Roger Stone to be truthful when testifying in the special counsel probe.
“It’s the only defense to witness tampering,” Goldman told “Morning Joe.”
“‘I’m not telling them to lie, I’m simply telling them to tell the truth.'”
Rudy Giuliani admitted that
Donald Trump’s tweet was encouraging something is an indication, whether it’s to lie or not to lie.”
“In this case, he says it’s not to lie, but
he’s encouraging him to do something — which gets you very, very close to witness tampering,”

exhorting defendants to tell the truth isn't witness tampering.
that said, DJT is a terrible client for a lawyer to have.

Except for the fact that Cohen told the truth - and Mueller team made sure it was the truth by corroborating his claims -
and
Trump then tweeted that Cohen should go to prison for a long time
Stone has done nothing but lie - to Congress - to the public -
and
Trump has praised him lavishly for being a scumbag
WITNESS TAMPERING - IMPEACHABLE

witness tampering certainly is impeachable, but with a GOP Senate majority it is most unlikely that DJT will be removed.

Some people on the Internet claimed Sessions was stealth and behind the scenes working on some grand plan to come out and catch and unveil all the bad guys. Some thought he was working with the imaginary Q who on the Internet was assuring followers of Sessions being in charge. This was never close to the truth.
