So far that's all it appears to be.

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said.

Cohen's claim would contradict repeated denials by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., their lawyers and other administration officials who have said that the President knew nothing about the Trump Tower meeting until he was approached about it by The New York Times in July 2017.

Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the Russians' offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen's account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources.

To be clear, these sources said Cohen does not have evidence, such as audio recordings, to corroborate his claim, but he is willing to attest to his account.

Maybe these "sources" are from Cohen's camp, but if they can be trusted it also means it's nothing more than he said she said.

Sources said Trump had prior knowledge of Stormy payoff.

Trumpers discounted the sources and believed Trump.

Tapes prove sources were correct and that Trump is a liar.

Trumpers say "who cares".

History repeats itself.

You're right, nobody cares.

As we're getting close to the closing of III and I'd say TrumPutinGate IV is in the bullpen, I have a selection of names for you:

"Cause Freak likes the clicks!"

"Dig in, folks, Storm's coming!" (extremely duality based here)

"Soon..."

"Are we there yet?"

"The middle of the end"

"We're going to have more numbers than Rocky before we're done!"

"Hide yo kids, hide yo wife"

"Big Red Dog is coming!"

Something snappy should be included in the title.

Clinton kinda lowered the bar for presidential shenanigans. And Trump wasn't even an elected official when said shenanigans supposedly happened.

As far as these most recent accusations.....the "sources" saying "Trump did know according to Cohen" also said there is no tape or recording. So if you believe them that Trump knew about the meeting, you also have to believe that nothing will be presented to prove it.

Unnecessary. Everyone knows this.


"Dig in, folks, Storm's coming!" (extremely duality based here)


I see what you did there, and approve.



"Soon..."

I've decided that is a relative term, but to what? I think it would have to be "sooner than later"



"Are we there yet?"


The answer to that question is always no. Always. You are never there. You are always here.


"The middle of the end"


Next would be "End of the middle"


"We're going to have more numbers than Rocky before we're done!"


Please, God, no.



"Hide yo kids, hide yo wife"



Racist, imo


"Big Red Dog is coming!"


I don't even know what that means.

Flawed logic. Cohen lied for Trump. All of his lies to date have been in an effort to cover for Trump. He's seen the folly of his ways and is ready to come clean in order to save what remains of his a$$.

Sort of like Trump saying Russia didn't interfere, realizing how idiotic that made him look, and then saying they did interfere.

How about "July 21st 2018 can't come soon enough"

My statement is as impartial as they come.

The sources saying Cohen witnessed this also said there is no recording or proof to back it up. If proof appears that might change things.

As far as flawed logic, you've already admitted Cohen is a liar. You even say he's doing this to save himself.
What can be trusted? How does anyone know he isn't just making it up "to cooperate" with the investigation for reduced charges or immunity. According to "the sources" there will be no proof of Cohen's claim. If he's a liar and there's no proof which lies are believable?

I know what you're thinking....I'm not saying that's what happened. I'm just playing the logic game since you brought it up.

I'm waiting for actual evidence to be presented before I believe he's guilty or innocent.

Everyone knew Cohen was a liar due to the simple fact that he was Trump's fixer. The question was always will he ever stop lying, turn on Trump, and start telling the truth.

He will testify under oath. Others will be called to testify. I agree that we should wait for the actual evidence. We will see.

What makes it the truth? That it's something negative about Trump? Something you want to believe?

He can lie under oath just as easily as he can to a reporter if he thinks it will save his skin.

For this to carry weight it needs to be more than he said she said.
