That is interesting and I didn't know that they had spoken but there isn't much said about how serious Mueller was in the job or if Trump in fact, told Mueller that he wasn't interested in hiring him. I don't think it's customary to tell someone you aren't considering them the same day as the interview and before the job is filled. But who knows what happened?

Lots of what ifs possible, but certainly creates a perception of a conflict of interest.

Not really trying to defend Cohen, but going to a crappy school doesn't necessarily mean you're crappy at your job. There may have been extenuating circumstances that led him to attend there. That said, this recent weirdness with large sums of money being funneled into his shell companies certainly has a Mafioso air about it. Interested to see where this goes.

There are crappy law schools and then there is this place which is seriously the single worst in the country right now. It sounds like the majority of their applicants can't get accepted anywhere else.

Kinda weird since Mueller was disqualified.

He had already served 12 years as FBI director from 2001-2013.

10 years is the limit - Mueller was given an extension by Obama his final 2 years.

Good point. Nothing there says that Mueller told Trump he wanted the job though or that he could accept the job if offered. That is probably why a bigger deal hasn't been made out of this.

Not arguing there. I believe I may have even been the first one to bring this up. Definitely doesn't look good. I'm just trying to give Cohen the benefit of the doubt.

He took the interview so he was obviously interested. I have no idea how the 10 year thing works out, but since he served 12, there's obviously some leeway.

Not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, just find the information interesting. Not trying to use the lib tactic of taking a story as legit truth and spreading it as gospel. Not going to speculate it's more than what it is.



But I am interested in how your fellow libs will spin it. Should be entertaining.

I didn't know anything about Michael Cohen's bio other than he is known as Trump's "fixer", so I just Googled him assuming that he had gone to law school at Harvard. How wrong that assumption was. Not only did he not go to Harvard or some other Ivy League College of Law, he went to literally the worst law school in the country. Indeed, Michael Cohen is a proud graduate of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan Class of 1991. Here are some facts about this... ahem, "law school?":

* The school accepts almost anyone who can pay the $51,000 annual tuition bill. More than 85% of it's applicants were admitted last year.

* Fewer than half of it's graduates manage to pass the bar exam on their first try; among all law school graduates in the country, about 75% pass on their first attempt.

* The 46 year old school had to go to court last year to fight for it's accreditation from the American Bar Association which found that the school was out of compliance on basic admission standards for a time.

* Last year, the National Advisory Council for Law School Transparency gave Cooley a ranking no school wants: It was #1 on the group's list of "the 10 least selective law schools in the country".

It is not hyperbole to say that Michael Cohen graduated from the worst law school in the country... and this guy is the personal attorney for the President of the United States of America? Seriously?

This shows your lack of knowledge when it comes to things like law and medical schools. Where you go to school makes very little difference in the real world. Cohen passed the bar exam. Keep up the narrative though.

Yeah, but LG passed the bar exam, too, so I'm questioning how hard it could really be.

That isn't true at all of law school graduates... The stats on Cooley also reveal that their grads have a hard time finding jobs. This school in particular has a very bad reputation.

He took the call. It's being described as an interview but he could have just used that time on the phone with Trump to plug someone else for the position. We don't know what was said.

Did the article say it was a call? I didn't see that. Pretty sure it said interview, which, I guess, could have been over the phone, but comes across more as a face to face thing, imo.

You could be right... I don't know. This hasn't gotten hardly any play even on Fox. Leads me to think, it's not much of an issue.

I have to be honest. Mick, LG, Luther, and those who share the same line of thought, they make me laugh. They eat up every bit of gossip and speculation as if it's somehow truth. It's like those people who read tabloids and believe Big Foot actually kidnaps and rapes people. Doesn't matter how much proof does or does not exist, the fact it impugns Trump is enough to make them believe it.

It's called attention to details and flow of information. Conversely the majority of the other posters believe in a trail of bodies from Little Rock to DC, A deep state that sole purpose is to take down Trump, and the DNC colluding with Russia. You all believe anything but facts.

Such a contrarian you are. I absolutely believe in facts. I keep asking you guys for them but no one has been forthcoming. I gotta be honest, it's almost like you guys don't have any.

You won't even acknowledge the Trump Tower meeting actually happened. You go brain dead trying to spin it as something perfectly normal. Its wasn't normal and if it don't give you pause to question the purpose you are incapable of intellectual thought. it was set up by Fusion GPS, the DNC, and the deep state in your mind.

Okay, I'll acknowledge it happened. I really don't know if it did or didn't as I'm not exactly aware of said meeting(little busy trying not to die last year so I missed out on a lot), but for the sake of argument, it happened. Can you point me toward a transcript so I can see what incriminating things were said at this meeting?

The truth of the matter weezer is that people post news in this thread regarding the ongoing investigation and speculate on that information. You and others reject the news or downplay the importance. We don't know everything or even a tenth of what Mueller knows and we are left with speculation. It is what it is.

Speculation is not actual news. Actual news is based on fact. What happens in the investigation, for example, is fact. But you and others then take that information and extrapolate a theory that damns Trump as guilty. There's zero actual proof or evidence to support your theory but you state said theory as fact because you want it to be true. You dislike Trump. I get it. Guys a douchbag. But you cannot convict him of something without actual evidence.

I never reject real, factual news. I often do reject opinion piece fluff because I don't like people telling me what my opinion should be. I'll form my own opinions, thank you. Give me something of merit and I won't downplay its merit.

Also, I'm assuming by your response there is no transcript of said meeting. So even if there was a meeting, we don't know what was actually discussed? Another speculation thing?

It was a huge nothing burger, all that mattered was placing Trump Jr and company in the same room as the Russian attorney, now let the speculation run wild..

It could have been except that Trump lied about who was in attendance in the meeting and what was discussed in a statement he crafted aboard Air Force One. It was supposedly just about Russian adoptions... but then, Veselnitskaya also had dirt on Hillary. He has a way of arousing suspicion and making things worse than they have to be just because his first instinct is to lie.

...and I hope everything is okay, Weezer. It's easy to forget that the posters behind these monikers and avi's are actual people with lives.
