25. Singing to avoid Sing Sing!

[Massacure]

41. For a moment there I thought you said Urethra instead of Aretha.

Wow, my mind is in the gutter right now.

[NoMoreRepugs]

42. Good one.......

[2naSalit]

2. Hoo baby!!

What a day this is turning out to be.

[Stuart G]

8. You don't think that someone will turn on Mr.Trump, just liked he has turned on many others??

No...that can't be true..? Someone treat Trump like he treats others??? Impossible...wait...that is a lie,,,

yes it is about time........

two boxes please.....

[nycbos]

3. Excellent.

On a side note I have had the good fortune to travel all over the world. Charleston, WV is the one place I wouldn't. want to return.

4. Sez who?

[Eugene]

5. Sing, Mikey, Sing!

[Iliyah]

6. Oh boy. Here's hoping for a Manafort guilty verdict

on majority of the counts and hear or read from blogs the further insanity from shithole. He may really rile up the crowd into a violent physical frenzy. Hope WV is ready or the city/town he's spewing his bullshit in.

[bearsfootball516]

7. Would be incredible if...

Trump's rally tonight was preceded by news of Cohen cooperating and Manafort getting life.

[obamanut2012]

9. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

[justhanginon]

10. The survival instinct kicks in albeit a little late.

As late as he has come to his senses I wonder how much potentially extra time it will cost him.

[GeorgeGist]

11. Now its tentative

[mobeau69]

12. CNN is reporting that Michael Cohen has reached a plea agreement with Federal Prosecutors.

This is not true.

[madaboutharry]

14. Federal prosecutors in Southern District of New York.

[mobeau69]

16. I see that now. On their website but not on tv. Thanks.

[ginnyinWI]

13. I hope he becomes the new John Dean. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

15. "that Trump Rally in Charleston WV tonight is gonna be LIT......."

Ain't that the truth!

17. He's flipping!

On edit: I hope I'm not wrong but just premature.

[scarytomcat]

33. maybe flipping we don't know yet

probably not but if a charge is campaign finance fraud the Trump campaign is busted too

[Jim__]

18. Wow! Sounds like they caught another witch! - n/t

[2naSalit]

39. You know it!

[LovingA2andMI]

19. YES!!!!

Yes!! YES!! YES!!! Maybe, just maybe....the end is near to this Nightmare.

[2naSalit]

40. I hope for it to be the beginning of the end

and that the waves keep rolling in!

[getagrip_already]

20. what a proffer that must have been!!!!!

Queen for a week and a half no doubt!

[Snellius]

21. What he said to HRC about going to jail...

Link to tweet

[former9thward]

22. No cooperation in deal.

Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer, on Tuesday reached a plea agreement with prosecutors investigating payments he made to women on behalf of Mr. Trump, a deal that does not include cooperation with federal authorities, two people familiar with the matter said.

[hamsterjill]

24. I saw that. But what the hell?

What does he have to offer OTHER THAN turning on Trump???!!!

[SeattleVet]

28. He's pleading guilty to an illegal campaign finance charge.

With all of the other evidence around that the Mango Mussolini knew about it, he may not have had to agree to provide any more cooperation. His guilty plea manages to drag tRump right into the middle of it.

[hamsterjill]

31. Maybe. I still wanted him to sing like a canary.

n/t

[SeattleVet]

36. He directly implicated tRump in a felony.

He plead to both the $150,000 and $130,000 payments "in cooperation with and at the direction of a 'candidate for federal office'".

And I don't think he was talking about Bernie or Hillary!

Cohen sure has a funny way of 'taking a bullet' for tRump!

[hamsterjill]

37. Hallelujah!!!!

Just saw the story!!!!

[Mr.Bill]

34. Yet.

[former9thward]

38. Did your key board break?

[watoos]

23. This is good news, but

It is not a co-operation agreement, Cohen is pleading guilty to 3 charges. He may later decide to co-operate but this isn't a profer or anything like it.

[lagomorph777]

26. OK, so rack up another conviction.

Probably with all the documentary evidence in hand, the Feds didn't need Cohen's testimony. Just making a deal so they can save their resources and move on to the big bloated fish.

[MattP]

27. The Prosecutor is from Giuliani"s law firm appointed by Sessions

Sessions appointed Berman from Giuliani"s firm on inter basis he gave a maximum contribution to Trump so Trump didn't pick him but it stinks

[euphorb]

30. Berman recused himself from the Cohen case (to the best of my recollection)

[MattP]

32. My bad thanks for the correction

[watoos]

29. Trump has to be shitting bricks

His fixer is about to plead guilty, and one of the pleas could be about Stormy Daniels payoff. Michael Avenatti is licking his chops waiting to depose Trump, waiting to get him on the stand.

Trump better start pardoning people which will not be a good look leading up to the elections.

35. National Sec. Advisor, Campaign Manager, Personal Attorney

Pled guilty, on trial, and entering a plea.

But Hillary and emails.
