What Cohen's Guilty Plea Potentially Means for Trump
What is interesting about today's "sudden" trial appearance with Cohen pleading guilty for lying to Congress is that it comes immediately following Trump's written responses to Mueller's questions. Was this guilty plea purposely withheld until after Trump's responses were submitted? If so, this was planned to ensure a means of using Trump's responses against him, as they would likely align with Cohen's previous denial of any meetings with Russian business leaders. Another entrapment, it appears.

From some of the reports I've seen, there seems to have been an entire entrapment scheme put into place for Trump from the very beginning, as Sater (the supposed FBI plant) was the one who orchestrated these meetings that would later be used as compromising evidence against Trump, Trump Jr., and anyone associated with Trump.

From the article:

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."


This isn't looking good, particularly now that it can be more understood how Mueller will likely indict Trump Jr. if his account of events during questioning differed in any way from what Cohen - their new 'cooperating witness' - is now saying occurred.

That's how the Democrats do it. It's actually classic Hillary, sigh, they set up situations in advance that they then use against you. If they can't own you, they entrap you, and if they can't entrap you,they murder you.

1) George Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, was arrested in July 2017 and pleaded guilty last October to making false statements to the FBI. He got a 14-day sentence.

2) Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chair, was indicted on a total of 25 different counts by Mueller’s team, related mainly to his past work for Ukrainian politicians and his finances. He had two trials scheduled, and the first ended in a conviction on eight counts of financial crimes. To avert the second trial, Manafort struck a plea deal with Mueller in September 2018 (though Mueller’s team said in November that he breached that agreement by lying to them).

3) Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign aide and Manafort’s longtime junior business partner, was indicted on similar charges to Manafort. But in February he agreed to a plea deal with Mueller’s team, pleading guilty to just one false statements charge and one conspiracy charge.

4) Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, pleaded guilty last December to making false statements to the FBI.

5-20) 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies were indicted on conspiracy charges, with some also being accused of identity theft. The charges related to a Russian propaganda effort designed to interfere with the 2016 campaign. The companies involved are the Internet Research Agency, often described as a “Russian troll farm,” and two other companies that helped finance it. The Russian nationals indicted include 12 of the agency’s employees and its alleged financier, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

21) Richard Pinedo: This California man pleaded guilty to an identity theft charge in connection with the Russian indictments, and has agreed to cooperate with Mueller. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison and 6 months of home detention in October.

22) Alex van der Zwaan: This London lawyer pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Rick Gates and another unnamed person based in Ukraine. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and has completed his sentence.

23) Konstantin Kilimnik: This longtime business associate of Manafort and Gates, who’s currently based in Russia, was charged alongside Manafort with attempting to obstruct justice by tampering with witnesses in Manafort’s pending case this year.

24-35) 12 Russian GRU officers: These officers of Russia’s military intelligence service were charged with crimes related to the hacking and leaking of leading Democrats’ emails in 2016.

36) Michael Cohen: In August, Trump’s former lawyer pleaded guilty to 8 counts — tax and bank charges, related to his finances and taxi business, and campaign finance violations — related to hush money payments to women who alleged affairs with Donald Trump, as part of a separate investigation in New York (that Mueller had handed off). But in November, he made a plea deal with Mueller too, for lying to Congress about efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

Finally, there is one other person Mueller initially investigated, but handed over to others in the Justice Department to charge: Sam Patten. This Republican operative and lobbyist pleaded guilty to not registering as a foreign agent with his work for Ukrainian political bigwigs, and agreed to cooperate with the government.

And something like 2 dozen sealed indictments yet to be revealed. It's not nothing.

How many investigations of Hilary were there, again? For how long? And she ain't in jail, despite Presidential promises? How is that not under a microscope?

In the meantime: these are not microscopic findings. That's some fair to middling serious shit, quickly bordering on holy-fucking-cow-serious shit.
