NYT running this as well...

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/398057-cohen-recorded-conversation-with-trump-on-payment-to-ex-playboy-model

Read rumors, couple of months ago - that Cohen regularly taped discussions in the office.    Given his decade long role as Trump bag man/legal fixer.....this may make a few people nervous.  

Cohn's new lawyer characterizes any recordings made.....as "Michael protecting himself" 

Didn't see anything on Breitbart on this, either.

One interesting discussion point is the idea the Special Master would allow the government to have the tapes rather then mark them as privileged.  As Trump's lawyer, they *could* be attorney/client privilege.  Saw one commentator speculated it could be this specific conversation (reportedly there are many tapes) is not privileged because of criminality involved, or that the Trump side leaked it preemptively thinking it might get out there.  if thats the case I'd assume Trump's side of the conversation is sufficiently non-detailed enough that they will say "see, nothing to see".

Michael Scheuer says it is "quite near time" to kill American citizens who oppose Trump.

Scheuer is a former senior CIA official and the author of the New York Times bestseller, Imperial Hubris

Quote

 

As this week’s end, it seems likely that it is quite near time for killing those involved in the multiple and clearly delineated attempts to stage a coup d’état against the legitimately elected Trump government and thereby kill our republic.

Finally, this week saw a significant and quickening advance toward the moment when those millions of well-armed citizens who voted for Trump, and who have been abused or wounded by Democrats, their Antifa-thugs, and their thug-civil servants for exercising their franchise to elect Trump, cannot be, in good conscience, patient for much longer.

Fortunately, they have in hand a long and very precise list of the names and photographs of those who hate and threaten them, their families, their way-of-life, their liberty, their livelihoods and their republic. No self-respecting and determined-to-remain-independent citizenry can let themselves forever be held hostage by thug-civil-servants like Strzok, Comey, McCabe, Page, and Rosenstein; worshipers of tyranny, like the Democratic members of Congress, the Clintons, the FBI, and the Obamas; apparent traitors like Brennan, Hayden, and Clapper; all of the mainstream media; and the tens of thousands of government-admitted-and-protected, violent, criminal, and illegal immigrants.

according to wikipedia this is his wife:

Alfreda Frances Bikowsky (born 1965) is a career Central Intelligence Agency officer who has headed the Bin Laden Issue Station and the Global Jihad unit. Bikowsky's identity is not publicly acknowledged by the Agency, but was deduced by independent investigative journalists in 2011. In January 2014, the Washington Post named her and tied her to a pre-9/11 intelligence failure and the extraordinary renditionof Khalid El-Masri. The Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture, released in December 2014, showed that Bikowsky was not only a key part of the torture program, but also one of its chief apologists, resulting in the media giving her the moniker "The Unidentified Queen of Torture."

 

this stuff should not be dismissed.

Something to remember if Trump is impeached.  The responsible king would be for trump to call for calm and peace. But you know he won’t.  

It could get bad.

We have the same thing in Canada,  in Texas North. 

"Three years into her NDP government's mandate, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has received at least 11 death threats, security documents obtained by CBC News show.

The threats began in September 2015 with a tweet and retweet of the message: "Really you dumb cow, be careful woman, or you'll be the first assassination in Alberta."

More recently, while door-knocking in March 2017, one of the premier's office staff was confronted by an angry resident who said "if ___had a chance ___ would shoot Rachel Notley," a redacted document states."

If you look at the barrage of tweets from yesterday.....one could conclude that his marbles are falling onto the floor......

The best part is, he has some tweets from the past (he always does) that accuse or predict Obama of starting a war with Iran to win re-election or otherwise cause a distraction.  So you know that "strategy" is at the forefront of his mind.  Funny how he doesnt talk remotely that tough with the country that actually attacked the US...but hey, "Economy" and we love Trump.

So Trump thinks that by rescinding security clearance for former high level intelligence chiefs for criticizing him, he will feel better about himself, soon he will employ firing squads getting rid of said people when he finds out they can still criticize him without a security clearance.

It will be interesting to see if he tries to rescind it for former Presidents.  As I understand it, most Presidents didnt often avail themselves of daily intelligence briefings anyway (H.W. did) but still, its a slap on the wrist by a tyrant and an attempt to cut people off from information.

I used to make fun of people that were so anti-W. that they claimed he'd create a fake pretense for war, declare martial law, suspend elections and civil rights and create a Nazo-like dictatorship.  But if someone came here from 10 years in the future and said thats exactly what Trump did, how surprised would you be, honestly?

The day Sanders’ smug face is disgraced and unemployed will be a great day. 

Everything trump says here is untrue. Not just a difference of political opinion but verifiably a lie. Also the steel dossier has never been discredited. On the contrary it’s largely been proven true.  And is highly credible.
