That weird obsession with blood again.

There really are a lot of mentions of the Mafias both Italian and Russian in this story about Michael Cohen. Bigly.

And Trump and Harvey Weinstein used the same Israeli black op investigators

Does Trump really need a lawyer like Guiliani
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/06/us/politics/giuliani-says-trump-would-not-have-to-comply-with-mueller-subpoena.html

“Virtually everything said has been said incorrectly, and it’s been said wrong, or it’s been covered wrong by the press,” Mr. Trump said on Friday. “He’ll get his facts straight."
Seeming to chastise Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Trump added: “You know what? Learn before you speak. It’s a lot easier.”

^ I saw bits on the Colbert report, case of "friends like that, who needs enemies!'

Amazing. Forget Congress and even Mueller, looks like Trump will be brought down by a sex worker who stood up for herself.

that lawyer seems to regularly receive lots of money from lots of quite shady characters

nice business to be in, until it isn't

But she broke the NDA!!! NOT FAIR!!!

The account Cohen used to pay off Daniels seems to have been very popular with both Oligarchs and large corporations- AT&T and Novartis between them put in half a million dollars. Both organisations PR flacks are keen to distance themselves from the payments.

I bet Avenatti has a queue of FBI/DoJ sources waiting patiently to hand him stuff like this.

Mob Mob Mob

This is just one LLC linked to Trump/Cohen by the way. There are ahem 499 or so others

This is possibly a tipping point because all the NY newspapers who have archives full of decades of stories about Trump and Michael Cohen and Roy Cohn Italian/Russian mob connections (that they sat on deliberately whilst clickbaiting the fuck out of the election, then oh shit he won) can now begin the big reveal to the public.

.

I keep finding myself wondering what will happen if it - whether it be Russia stuff, obstruction of justice, money laundering or whatever - proves to be enough to force Trump's resignation or even convict him. Specifically, what will his base do? A lot of them seem to be ccccccrrraaazy and completely reject that he is anything other than hero touched by the hand of God himself. Will they suck it up or march on Washington?

Surely if it gets to that stage, he'll just fire up the nukes right?

Looking forward to the 12th of June for a myriad of reasons.

EVERYTHING Trump touches turns to shit part 1,002

Rudy Giuliani has been forced to resign from his law firm.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/10/us/politics/rudy-giuliani-resigns-law-firm-greenberg-traurig.html

"“Michael would take care of things like this like I take care of this with my clients.”

The New York Times asked Greenberg Traurig several times to explain those remarks over the past week. On Tuesday, a firm spokeswoman asked for more time to provide answers."

Article also contains

"Many of the country’s top law firms have resisted the prospect of their lawyers representing the president. As Mr. Trump tried to rebuild his legal team this spring, firms told their top lawyers that if they wanted to represent the president they would have to resign."

^ Article makes me wonder if the US 'untethered' is pronounced 'unhinged'?

Michael Cohen basically got paid by people who hoped for access to Trump.

Next level trolling.
