Trump's presidency is in shambles. It's transformed from a Greek tragedy into an Italian love tryst watching all of Trump's closest staff members, business partners and associates head off into the sunset.
Michael Cohen is a paid liar. He admits it. But his situation is unique. He has been held accountable, imprisoned for breaking laws on the behalf the most powerful man on earth. A man who no doubt told him hundreds of times he would "pardon him from any liabilities once he is president".
Cohen went to prison while Trump went golfing.
That's a pretty strong motivation for Cohen to tell the truth about Trump. Trump, of course calls it fiction... I think Cohen has opened the treasure trove of Trump's crimes.
And, it was a good indication Cohen was telling truths Trump didn't want exposed when we watched Trump with the help of his new "fixer" Attorney General William Barr throw Cohen back into jail, until a federal judge intervened and ruled that the government had made the move in retaliation for him writing his book.
It's time for Cohen's payback. His long-awaited book "Disloyal; a memoir" is released:
Some key points:
Insider information about Trump's campaign finance violations, COLLUSIONS with Russia via intermediaries, among other crimes.
Exposing Trump's sick racist mentality. His smoldering hatred for former President Barack Obama, and his constant racist insulting statements regarding people of any other ethnicity than whiteish-orange.
Direct quotes like this one about Hispanic people: "I will never get the Hispanic vote. Like the blacks, they're too stupid to vote for Trump. They're not my people."
Turn coat comments about his religious supporters: "Can you believe people believe that [expletive]?"
Information about Trump's inability to confront Russian president Vladimir Putin, his need to maintain a relationship with Putin to obtain funds. His admiring Putin: "to take over an entire nation and run it like it was his personal company - like the Trump Organization"
Trump's directions regarding illegal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels (That Trump vehemently denied on camera during his election), which violated campaign funding rules. These were among other crimes that led to Cohen's jail term. Trump's crimes.
He talked about Trump's ability to send orders to people loyal to him in "mob codes". Saying things like "I wouldn't mind if so and so was murdered"... which insulates Trump from any connection to crimes.
I can imagine Trump saying he "wouldn't mind if Cohen was murdered"... Cohen says he has received death threats from Trump supporters. People who hear Trump's orders.
Regardless, we are so many light years beyond having grounds to impeach this criminal Trump on the grounds "Behavior not fitting a president".
Too bad the Republican party has decided to side with him. And go down with his ship.
There will be books about others participation in Trump's "law and order" crime syndicate coming...
