Michael Cohen Gets 3 Years, Blasts Trump in Court; Trump Says “The People Would Revolt” if He’s Impeached

“Peanut stuff”
Politics • Views: 29,842

Well, Michael Cohen now knows where he’ll be spending the next three years: Michael Cohen sentenced to three years in prison for crimes committed while working for Trump.

“I stand before your honor humbly and painfully aware that we are here today for one reason, because of my actions that I pled guilty to,” Cohen said. “I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to, the personal ones to me and those involving the president of the United States of America.”

Cohen said there was a deep irony about his sentencing, because he felt that he was finally getting free from Trump. “Today is the day I am getting my freedom back as you sit at the bench and contemplate my fate,” he said. “I have been living in a personal and mental incarceration ever since the fateful day that I accepted the offer to work for a famous real estate mogul whose business acumen I truly admired. In fact I now know there is little to be admired.”

He cited a recent tweet from the president calling Cohen “weak” for cooperating and said the president was right, but not in the way he meant.

“It was my own weakness and a blind loyalty to this man that led me to choose a path of darkness over light,” Cohen said. “Time and time again I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds.”

And of course, the Trump-thing is doing what he always does: Trump says he is not concerned about being impeached, defends payments to women.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was not concerned that he could be impeached and that hush payments made ahead of the 2016 election by his former personal attorney Michael Cohen to two women did not violate campaign finance laws.

“It’s hard to impeach somebody who hasn’t done anything wrong and who’s created the greatest economy in the history of our country,” Trump told Reuters in an Oval Office interview.

“I’m not concerned, no. I think that the people would revolt if that happened,” he said.

[…]

“Number one, it wasn’t a campaign contribution. If it were, it’s only civil, and even if it’s only civil, there was no violation based on what we did. OK?”

Asked about prosecutors’ assertions that a number of people who had worked for him met or had business dealings with Russians before and during his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump said: “The stuff you’re talking about is peanut stuff.”

Such a perfect example of the alleged thinking of the worst president this country has ever had. It’s all coming apart for Donald Trump now, and he knows it. Somewhere deep inside his twisted mind, there’s a lot of screaming going on.

He might get a few of the hard core Red Hats to do some crazy shit, but the majority of Americans would be absolutely fine with his impeachment.

re: #2 Charles Johnson

It’s really hard to say. If you work based on the assumption that most technology is universal - that is to say, the earliest forms of sentient life will discovery ways to harness fire first, and then build from there, then yes, it could follow that a civilization building species might pollute itself out of existence. However, it also depends on the chemical composition of those planets’ atmosphere and the way organic creatures use that atmosphere (on earth animals absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide, plants do the opposite; on another planet, with a different atmosphere, the exchange could be very different).

Trump thinks this nation is a reality TV show and his performance is required to entertain the populace. Given how the networks treated him during his campaign — how they preferred to air an empty platform awaiting his arrival instead of broadcasting a serious speech by his rival — he may not be wrong. After all, the only time she managed to get serious coverage for her statements was when she called half his supporters deplorable. Maybe Linda McMahon is managing this country; after all his behavior is more suitable to a WWE participant than a legitimate president.

AOC is going to have to stop owning conservatives before I develop a huge crush on her.

The battle’s on.

After Kellyanne Conway accused Rep.-Elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — without mentioning her name — of tweeting a “slur” about White House chief of staff John Kelly and diminishing her intelligence on Fox News Tuesday, the soon-to-be congresswoman shot back, suggesting Conway has been “engaged in a war on facts” since President Trump took office.

Right wing Twitter is now in full-on whataboutobama mode, distorting the hell out of anything they can find from Obama’s presidency to make it look like he’s as bad as Trump.

“As bad as Trump” is an interesting defense.

2:56 PM - Dec 12, 2018

The stages of coming to terms with Trump reality.

1. denial
2. anger
3. depression
4. bargaining
5. acceptance.

I think right now wingnut Trumpers are at 2.

Around January 1st they will hit 3 and 4 will be soon after.

Hopefully in a couple of months (or less!) Mueller will push them to 5 once he details in his reporting all the facts that will be impossible for them to deny…though they will try.

And you just watch - if Trump goes down (either as a result of Mueller’s investigation or the 2020 election), all those Trumpers will be denying they ever supported him in the first place, just like they did with W.

Those voters who would stick by him even if he shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue don’t care about any of the allegations to date, including his support for Putin or MBS. They actually admire his being a thug, because he’s a white thug who demeans people of color.

This definitely sounds like someone who is absolutely not worried about 2020, not at all:

In the most far-reaching move, Donald Trump’s allies are looking to scrap the state GOP’s tradition of remaining neutral in the primary — to clear the way for an endorsement of the president. They’re also moving to install one of their own as head of the state Republican Party.

The efforts wouldn’t stop a moderate [sic] Republican like John Kasich from taking on Trump. But they are designed to shield the president from the kind of damage that a serious primary fight could do to him heading into the general election. An endorsement would provide much more than just a verbal statement of support: It would enable the New Hampshire Republican Party to throw the weight of its entire apparatus behind Trump against any GOP rival.

If you think the last three years have been something, the next three are shaping up to be extraordinary.

I think that a lot of parents are put off by these mild side effects.

I recall going to a baby swimming course with a neighbor. Part of the course involved ducking the baby’s head underwater for a few seconds jut to get it used to the feeling.

The neighbor could not bring herself to do it…because she felt she was somehow hurting the baby or causing it discomfort. Even though it was helping the kid to learn something that might save its life some day.

I think he does these stupid rallies not only because it’s easier than work but because he’s a needy baby.

He’s cosplaying Hitler, who is, in his Narcissist “world view” (such as it is), the Ultimate Man.

I bet real cash money that Trump has said Hitler was the most amazing person in history, somewhere in private conversation. Hitler is the most famous White Guy ever. Look at what he did! He’s unforgettable! All those people loved him at rallies… Deep in the bottom of the shallow pool of Trump’s “personality”, he admires and wishes he could be as famous as Mr. H. with the funny mustache. That’s why the only book he’s known to have read regularly was a collection of Hitler’s speeches; that’s why he holds little Nuremburg Rallies every month. He’s playing dictator and he got somebody else (us) to foot the bill for it, just like he’s done all his life.

The difference is, Hitler had more integrity and was better at pretending to be a statesman than DJT. At least H’s romantic nihilism gave him enough conviction to off himself when the Soviets showed up at the end of the block. (Ironic that the Russians may lead to our boy’s Downfall?!).

If Trump doesn’t start a war to wreck us all, he’s going to end up running down the street naked and screaming with the Feds trying to throw a net over him like some kind of wild animal. He’s not smart enough to judge his own position and take decisive action with a .380.

Isn’t the kind of behavior you would expect from a dictator wannabe consolidating his power?

Mild… 100 temp for a week or two is just outside my definition of mild. I get why it happens but I am not certain all parents are like my wife and I and check our kid’s temp every morning, afternoon, and evening. A prolonged temperature above 103 can cause issues in brain development.

The only person that I know of that made a successful attempt at telling a funny rape joke is George Carlin…and he was a master, because, as he noted, you can make a joke about anything if you can construct exaggerations to take the subject way out of proportion to the rest of the joke.

I think right now wingnut Trumpers are at 2.

Around January 1st they will hit 3 and 4 will be soon after.

Hopefully in a couple of months (or less!) Mueller will push them to 5 once he details in his reporting all the facts that will be impossible for them to deny…though they will try.

I don’t know how close the analogy works, but… my father was a HUUUUGE Nixon supporter. When WaPo stories about Watergate started coming out, he didn’t believe it because he didn’t want to believe it. He turned himself into a pretzel trying to find alternate explanations for proven facts. “The burglars were looking to steal typewriters, they thought a campaign office might have cash, their tangential connection to Nixon’s campaign is why they knew where the DNC office was located, but they weren’t acting under orders.”

When televised hearings started and more damaging facts, from people higher up the chain came out, he still refused to believe it because he just didn’t want to believe it. “criminals are trying to downplay their own responsibility and shift more blame to their bosses who hadn’t really known all the details of what they were up to. They’re trying to get reduced sentences.”

It wasn’t until the tapes came out that he had to admit it really was what it looked like. It broke his heart.

re: #60 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I think that a lot of parents are put off by these mild side effects.

I recall going to a baby swimming course with a neighbor. Part of the course involved ducking the baby’s head underwater for a few seconds jut to get it used to the feeling.

The neighbor could not bring herself to do it…because she felt she was somehow hurting the baby or causing it discomfort. Even though it was helping the kid to learn something that might save its life some day.

That must be much the same mentality.

I think part of the problem with parents that are younger than the boomers is they benefited from the fight against all the illnesses that were part of life for the boomers parents. Those parents of the 40s and 50s were very aware of child illnesses because they had to deal with them and that means both deaths of young children and the effects of some of the diseases that left their kids scarred for life.

Vaccines made the world safer to the point where apparently younger parents do not see the illnesses and the effects of those illnesses today so they start to forget how important vaccines were and are.

What do they hear now? Bullshit on TV and on the net and in social media about dangers of vaccines and their supposed link to autism.

They see autism and that is now their enemy…not all the illnesses vaccines fought off.

I guess everyone is going to learn the hard way. The illnesses will come back, probably stronger and the whole cycle will start over again.

By the way, I am not a parent and don’t know a lot of younger parents anymore.

I am thinking there are children that haven’t been vaccinated yet still have been diagnosed Autistic. But I don’t know for sure. Does anyone know if anyone is keeping count of Autistic children that haven’t gone through the vaccines compared to children that were vaccinated and are Autistic?

Or, does that not get around because it is not the current take on vaccines and Autism?

re: #61 Pawn of the Oppressor

He’s cosplaying Hitler, who is, in his Narcissist “world view” (such as it is), the Ultimate Man.

I bet real cash money that Trump has said Hitler was the most amazing person in history, somewhere in private conversation. Hitler is the most famous White Guy ever. Look at what he did! He’s unforgettable! All those people loved him at rallies… Deep in the bottom of the shallow pool of Trump’s “personality”, he admires and wishes he could be as famous as Mr. H. with the funny mustache. That’s why the only book he’s known to have read regularly was a collection of Hitler’s speeches; that’s why he holds little Nuremburg Rallies every month. He’s playing dictator and he got somebody else (us) to foot the bill for it, just like he’s done all his life.

The difference is, Hitler had more integrity and was better at pretending to be a statesman than DJT. At least H’s romantic nihilism gave him enough conviction to off himself when the Soviets showed up at the end of the block. (Ironic that the Russians may lead to our boy’s Downfall?!).

If Trump doesn’t start a war to wreck us all, he’s going to end up running down the street naked and screaming with the Feds trying to throw a net over him like some kind of wild animal. He’s not smart enough to judge his own position and take decisive action with a .380.

Isn’t the kind of behavior you would expect from a dictator wannabe consolidating his power?

Now he is trying to prevent them from even running.

I suppose you could read it that way. They’re definitely trying to head off any sort of primary challenge, which seems like a tell to me when it comes to his actual political strength within the party.

That (IMHO) is why the DOJ “guideline” is ridiculous.

That’s a ridiculous legal standard to operate under, as it perverts our justice system from one of “beyond reasonable doubt” to “too big to fail.”

Further discussion why the DOJ guidelines against indictment of a sitting president fails to be persuasive. It relies heavily on equitable tolling to allow prosecutors the chance to go after a president for crimes that may have a statute of limitations that has run.

Say T commits crime X occurred in 2015 and has a 3 year time limit. T is president from 2017 to 2021. That would mean per the statute of limitations T can’t be charged - the statute of limitations has run.

Equitable tolling is a legal theory that would extend the SOL to a point where T could face justice.

The problem with this is that equitable tolling is speculative, hasn’t been tested either, and there’s even less justification for it under the law than indicting a sitting president.

There’s no reason to give the president immunity from criminal charges while sitting as president. None. The position isn’t above the law, and criminal charges are serious and can involve high crimes.

There isn’t. Once the Electoral College has voted, and he’s been sworn in, the only remedy is impeachment. He can be prohibited from seeking office again, if he’s convicted by the Senate, but undoing the stuff he’s done as president would fall on his successor and on Congress. Some of that is easy enough - signing back on to the Paris Accords, being an honest participant in the new rounds of climate change talks, rejoining discussions on the new TPP, reversing terrible regulations.

There’s no reason to give the president immunity from criminal charges while sitting as president. None. The position isn’t above the law, and criminal charges are serious and can involve high crimes.

The only valid argument I can think of for some sort of limited immunity is that because the constitution vests the executive power in the president alone, he would technically be sitting on both sides of the proverbial “v” in US v Trump, a criminal action. Yes, by practice and tradition, we have created some independence for the DOJ, but at the end of the day, the AG, the US Attorneys handling the case, and everyone else answers to the president, and they serve at the pleasure of the president. He could, in theory, call them into the Oval Office, and give them specific instructions on what evidence they could produce and what witnesses they could call.

That’s why Hamilton in the Federalist Papers suggests that impeachment should come first.

That said, if the president is indicted, that should immediately trigger the 25th Amendment. But that’s still ultimately a political choice by the President or the VP/Cabinet. This probably ends with a new Amendment to deal with this scenario - after all, it was Wilson’s stroke and then Kennedy’s assassination that led to the 25th being ratified.

There are some things that can be done. One has to do with the Electoral College - assuming it sticks around - and that would be convincing states that electors should not always be bound by the vote. That seems anti-democratic, but if the crimes are discovered between election day and the day the electors meet, the EC could save us by voting for someone else.

There’s also the political reality. If Trump is impeached and removed, Pence is likely to replace his entire cabinet. And any VP coming into the office under these circumstances is going to likely be politically curtailed.

So, the UK PM survived a vote of confidence amongst her own Parliamentary MPs, but not quite exactly enough for a genuinely confident margin. 200 versus 117. 117 is quite an amount against, and suggests at dwindling support, reminiscent of when Margret Thatcher was ousted from PM. Hence my tweet:

On further reflection, it is possible that the 3 or 4 days of riotous celebration that followed a Trump impeachment and conviction would qualify as a “revolt,” especially to Faux news viewers and other authoritarians.
It would be as though every city, town, and hamlet had won the Super Bowl and the World Series simultaneously.

re: #132 KGxvi

There are some things that can be done. One has to do with the Electoral College - assuming it sticks around - and that would be convincing states that electors should not always be bound by the vote. That seems anti-democratic, but if the crimes are discovered between election day and the day the electors meet, the EC could save us by voting for someone else.

The Electoral College is worse than useless, and I can’t possibly see this happening. The problem is that the electors are essentially nobodies who won’t buck the insane political pressure against nullification for any good reason, but can screw with the margins if they happen to be political kooks. We had Trump, obviously unfit, and guess what: the only faithless electors were “ours”, put there by a non-Democrat and ending up voting for non-politicians and fucking Republicans.

The President is not a king, and the Justice Department is not part of his body. He’s the manager of a large bureaucracy elected by the organization’s stakeholders, and should be convicted and removed from his post if he has committed crimes like anybody else.

They are underestimating the resolve of Trump’s supporters. Like in France, people will only put up with so much.

There will be blood, no doubt. Too many enraged people ready to take it out on “enemies of the state”; real and imagined, foreign (of birth or heritage) but mostly domestic.

And it will be a media clusterf*ck of major proportions and America’s functioning government will be rendered ineffective for a very long period.

re: #60 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I think that a lot of parents are put off by these mild side effects.

I recall going to a baby swimming course with a neighbor. Part of the course involved ducking the baby’s head underwater for a few seconds jut to get it used to the feeling.

The neighbor could not bring herself to do it…because she felt she was somehow hurting the baby or causing it discomfort. Even though it was helping the kid to learn something that might save its life some day.

That must be much the same mentality.

Late comment, but agree.
Back when there were open hearths and fireplaces in every house, mothers would often deliberately let a toddler touch a hot coal or kindling — briefly! — to scare them with a small scorch before they got a major burn from playing too close to the open flames. Hard but might save a little one’s life. I remember my grandmother talking about it once, and remember reading a kids’ historical where the baby died because the mother couldn’t bring herself to do that (Calico Bush, Rachel Fields).
The vaccine debate reminds me of that.

“…Flying foxes primarily migrate along the East coast of Australia — moving in entire camps or colonies as native food comes into season. They have done this for thousands of years — but over time, these colonies are being surrounded by human development, with locals complaining of the noise and smell, and netting their trees. Sadly, flying foxes are no match for developers, or councils responding to angered communities.”

re: #73 ObserverArt

I think part of the problem with parents that are younger than the boomers is they benefited from the fight against all the illnesses that were part of life for the boomers parents. Those parents of the 40s and 50s were very aware of child illnesses because they had to deal with them and that means both deaths of young children and the effects of some of the diseases that left their kids scarred for life.

Vaccines made the world safer to the point where apparently younger parents do not see the illnesses and the effects of those illnesses today so they start to forget how important vaccines were and are.

What do they hear now? Bullshit on TV and on the net and in social media about dangers of vaccines and their supposed link to autism.

They see autism and that is now their enemy…not all the illnesses vaccines fought off.

I guess everyone is going to learn the hard way. The illnesses will come back, probably stronger and the whole cycle will start over again.

By the way, I am not a parent and don’t know a lot of younger parents anymore.

I am thinking there are children that haven’t been vaccinated yet still have been diagnosed Autistic. But I don’t know for sure. Does anyone know if anyone is keeping count of Autistic children that haven’t gone through the vaccines compared to children that were vaccinated and are Autistic?

Or, does that not get around because it is not the current take on vaccines and Autism?

it’s called a ‘comfort trap’

re: #102 Targetpractice

That (IMHO) is why the DOJ “guideline” is ridiculous. A sitting president should not be immune from the law simply because he’s popular enough or his party has enough votes to prevent his removal from office. That’s a ridiculous legal standard to operate under, as it perverts our justice system from one of “beyond reasonable doubt” to “too big to fail.”

from electoral-vote.com this AM:

the Supreme Court has already established, in Clinton v. Jones, that a president is not immune from civil lawsuits. Does it really make sense that the president is subject to civil law, but not criminal law? The second issue is that most federal crimes carry a five-year statute of limitations. That would theoretically mean that a president who is re-elected is almost entirely not subject to federal criminal law for the first three years of his term, unless he commits a really big crime with a longer limit (like treason or murder). Surely nobody would argue that the president is above most federal laws, especially for only the first 37.5% of his term.

OK. Sooo. the horribly overblown style kind of gives away the kookishness even if you don’t exactly litigate American contract law on a daily basis. With you so far.
Question though - it seems as if they (=SBC et al) entered into that agreement as an entirely fictitious entity. It used to be my understanding that if you didn’t use either your actual name (or something close enough to be reasonably understood as equivalent), a DBA, or the name (of a representative of) some actual legal entity a contract would be likely to be held to be unenforceable?
(Now the Trump/Stormy matter of course gave us that nifty sideletter to identify parties as a third option, but you could just as easily argue reading that as part of the agreement just moves the signature around a little bit).

I took it as implied that a party should be able to rely on the identity of the other party and not have to guess if it’s some shady other entity behind the whole thing (from a continental European perspective, your relatively strict limitations on third party rights under contracts kind of seems to point in a similar, if not same direction).

Thing is, Moore alleges the entity they signed as doesn’t exist at all.
Don’t they actually have a bit of a point the choice of venue clause might well be unenforceable along with the rest of the agreement? Not really up to snuff on federal civil procedure either, but I’d suspect you’d be able to argue that as part of a motion to transfer somehow?

Don’t get me wrong, the whole motion sets off all kinds of alarm bells, not disagreeing with you on that - just not seeing how he’s obviously wrong quite yet.

I’m not a big fan of any type of term limits on legislators. After all, that was the ploy Gingrich successfully invoked to defeat Democrats in the 1994 revolution; of course, once the GOP were seated, they casually ignored their commitment. I realize this is a somewhat different situation, but I wonder how much is due to men being unhappy with having a woman speaker. Being a successful legislator also requires experience and knowledge gained through experience; I’m wondering if this approach will lead to too many committee chairs who, like their GOP counterparts, don’t understand their roles or the issues.

To be honest, I’m not entirely sure about the enforceability of the agreement. What I do know is CBS/Viacom have many, many lawyers who handle many, many film/television production contracts. So I suspect that some lawyer(s) signed off on this. Also, someone as “sophisticated” (in the legal sense) as a former State Supreme Court Chief Justice probably should have had a lawyer look over the agreement, and done some research into who he was dealing with.

As for the motion to transfer, the attorneys would have definitely met and conferred on it. And it doesn’t make a lot of sense to be in DC if that’s not where either of the parties are actually located. My guess is that’s going to be more important to the judge than the broader issue of enforceability.

re: #300 ObserverArt

Anyone else worried there may too many Democratic candidates to begin the whole nomination process?

I am.

…..
Oh well…I guess it will be whatever it will be.

Yep — me too. I expressed that concern the other day — that was what led to the nomination of Trump. Too many contestants lead to fractures in the electorate and the likelihood that the best can be drowned out. A single mistake may doom a viable candidate, such as what happened to Dean, especially given the role the media plays in accentuating flaws of those who are not their preferred candidate.
