Did anyone see the short video of Cohen with his cigar-smoking friends?

My first impression was that it looked like a scene out of some mob movie. Where was Joe Pesci?

This was reportedly taped while his lawyers were before the judge? The Judge was not amused and ordered him to be in front of her at 2PM Monday to answer the questions.

He looked more like a "fixer" than a lawyer.

He knows that in the end, he's going to get away with his crimes. So he's showing how relaxed and unconcerned he is.

his "knowing" is likely to be in error. But I agree that that is what he thinks, or wants to think.

Kimba Wood--was on Clinton's short list for AG in the way back machine?

I knew that name was familiar so I looked it up (she was passed over on nannygate grounds, which she wasn't guilty of)

On the grounds that he cannot get a fair judgement from a friend of the Clintons or Obamas?

he could ask for the moon too. imo it would be just as effective. she was (unfairly) passed over by Cllinton, wasn't nominated/promoted to/for anything by Obama...who but cheetolini would call that "a friend"?

'Mikey "the Bagman" Cohen' does have a certain ring to it.

We are so much alike, but our politics are total opposite..(shaking head) - I just showed her this picture and asked if she thought it was a scene out of the Sopranos..and she said she didn't watch the Sopranos..and it looks more like the Godfather..but the clothes don't match the era..I told her who it was....

13. The mob has been romanticized by pop culture.

It's harmful. From Corleone to the Sopranos, film and literature have made the Mob out to be some sort of noble heroes. They aren't, the mob is run by the lowest scum on the planet. They are parasites who live off from stealing from hard working and honest people. The mafia is involved in the trafficking of young girls and boys, it's human sex slavery. They peddle drugs, extort, and today commit most of the cyber crimes you see.

So we have an organized crime figure in the White House, what does that mean? It means we are being robbed in ways we would never dream of. It means morality is out the window, everything is done in order to not interrupt the stealing. There is nothing noble or romantic about Trump, he's the lowest form of life on the planet, a true parasite.

It reminded me of a scene from The Sopranos where the old guys
are sitting around outside a pool hall, I think it was. All that was missing was little cups of expresso.
