like us, they want to read this thing too. and then figure out where they bo from there. again, i caution, mueller s net was narrow. he was asked to look at precisely one thing, which is russian interference in the 2016 election, and whoever may have assisted them or conspired with them. all of the other stuff that could impact the president and presidency will likely come out of the southern district of new york. and, frank, is there it s been described to me as a seeding. will you explain that? that other investigations have been seeded in other officers that donald trump and rudy giuliani and all of the lawyers that came before them have not spent 22 months assailing and attacking and impugning in the eyes of the public or at least in the eyes of the trump base? yeah, the planting or seeding of these tentacle cases that are out there is a strategic is both strategic and also simply a reflection of the beauty of our system.
they knew each other very, very well. when we say fixer, we re talking about someone who was a close confidante. if, for example, you wanted to pay off a mistress, the person you go to to help with you that is someone you re close to and you really, really trust. i think what trump perceives as a betrayal cuts particularly close to the bone. of course there s the calculation of what michael cohen might have on him, what testimony he might have given to various investigators, but beyond that, i think it s just the emotion of having someone who you were so close to turn on you and say terrible things about you under oath, in congress. and beyond that, there s the political and legal strategy of impugning michael cohen s credibility, so that he isn t believed by the public. because if a tenth of what he says set tris true, the preside
riveting. today we re learning a little bit about. a source familiar with cohen s testimony is telling us he ll spill out criminal conduct by president trump while in office. he s leaving the details of that for the big reveal. not telling us exactly what that is. one thing that s clear, the source is saying cohen will bring documents. he s not just going to ask the public to take his word for it. after all, he s an admitted liar and republicans will spend a lot of time pointing that out. the source says that cohen will discuss lies, racism, and cheating by donald trump. and on the racism front, let s not forget that cohen told vanity fair last fall that trump during the 2016 campaign said that black people were too stupid to vote for me. i m not sure whether trump s denied that, i imagine he will. the white house has issued a statement accusing cohen of being a liar. it s laughable that anyone would take him seriously. they re impugning richard burr who is taking michael cohen very
made a turn turned the corner in his life and is here to tell the truth. and someone who was so close and instrumental to president trump, that he knows all of the secrets and firsthand accounts. that s another thing that republicans will try to do, is downplay cohen s role in trump s orbit and make him to be a coffee boy figure, if they can. richard burr has said nothing will be off-limits today. what does that mean? before i answer that, i want to say, that white house statement is some overreach. it s one thing to point out that michael cohen has lied. that s indisputable. but to say that it s laughable for anyone to take him seriously, you re impugning richard burr. you re also impugning the prosecutors in manhattan and in robert mueller s office, who has believed michael cohen and has used it in court documents to make allegations about what happened.
catholic student nick sandmann, his lawyers filed their first lawsuit on his behalf against the washington post. it to tune of $250 million, in both compensatory and punitive damages. the complaint argued the newspaper falsely gave the impression that the 115-pound a 16-year-old engaged in acts of racism by swarming philips, blocking his exit from the students, and otherwise engaging in racist misconduct. that the post ignored basic journalistic standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented bias against president donald j. trouble by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the president. the dollar amount had relevant, $250 million was the exact price jeff bezos paid for the washington post. back when he bought it in 2013. nicholas sandmann s lawyers
