DOJ Initial Russia Hearings

Next up before Congress:  Big mouth Sean Hannity.     He said Cohen told him personally that Cohen made the Stormy Daniels payment on his own accord without Trump knowing or directing him to do so.  So now we have a contradiction.  Sean will have to testify under oath or walk back his comments.   Question: why would Trump feel obligated or be indebted to Cohen if Cohen did it all out of the goodness of his heart?

Is that really a new contradiction? I thought that’s what Cohen was saying publicly before the FBI raid.

That was the party line before sh*t hit the fan. I believe Guiliani and Trump have both since admitted that wasn't the case.

 
This posted poorly???

Know how you can tell when an admitted liar is being truthful? When he has CORROBORATING EVIDENCE! Like this hush money check to Michael Cohen signed by his boss...CROOKED DONALD TRUMP!!!

They have along with you know the audio recordings that came out from Cohen and Trump himself discussing the McDougal payoff through AMI.

It funny that there is soooo much evidence to corroborate some of his testimony that you actually forget all the evidence there is. It is really sobering sometimes.

Just like it's not a great idea for Republicans to set a precedent for using Emergency Orders to end-around Congress?  :dunno

I guess one positive is it will certainly be a good test of just how conservative McConnell and Trump have pushed the courts to truly become...

Even then, what type of conservative? The actual, limited-government, reign-in-excessive-executive-power type or the new, bow-to-Trump-at-all-times type? That will be very telling.

If it's the latter, they have no spine and the courts are going to be a clusterf*ck for a long time.

"I wouldn't be surprised if for example this week on Friday, not knowing anything about it, but Friday is the day the grand jury indictments come down and also this Friday is better than next Friday because next Friday is the 15th of March, which is the Ides of March,"

How poetic would it be if Mueller held out for next Friday? 

 
Wow. Prosecutors were asking for 15-19 years for Manafort and the judge gave him 47 months, apparently impressed by something.

Pretty abject lesson in sentencing disparity in our country. We continue to give white collar criminals (ones working against the country's best interests, nonetheless!) slaps on the wrist.

Some people are pretty p#ssed, to say the least. Hechinger's tweets in particular are pretty startling.

What a disgusting sentence.  All the experts say next week's judge is harsher, but that the max she can give is like 10.  Sickening how unfair this system is.

We need prison and sentencing reform in a huge way.   There needs to be uniformity so one isn't punished by where they live, their color, wealth and political connections.   Do away with "3 Strikes and you are out"  that gives automatic harsh sentences on the 3rd offense.  Remove the harsh prison terms for illicit drugs (except for distributing, selling, etc) - provide rehab instead.    There are so many things that could/should be done.   But 48 months for Manafort shows bias --    we'll see how soon Trump pardons him.
