(12,344 posts)I think Cohen is getting antsy, he wants to cut a deal now.
According to CNN
" Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said."

Also, look at the byline of that article, it has Carl Bernstein on it. Trump would never leak something to Carl Bernstein of all people. But Cohen using Bernstein would be a clear signal to Mueller.

(51,611 posts)I just heard on MSNBC that it has been reported that tRump heard the news (I don't know how he got it from the news since Fux didn't cover it at all...he must watch fake CNN) and he went ballistic, swearing, etc. That means that we'd better take cover and be ready for a storm of tweets.

(2,785 posts)If they were going to leak this they should've done it a year ago so they could get it all out and have republicans protect him. This close to election it gives more energy to Democrats to take the congress and maybe even the Senate. Not to mention republicans are trying to ram through a supreme court nominee that would likely protect Trump. This news gives conservative Democrats another reason to vote against his nomination and could possibly begin to give someone like Susan Collins second thoughts.

(5,126 posts)1. known that it would leak soon and leaked right before the news of the return of remains of soldiers from NK (which I am skeptical about until confirmed). They will make a HUGE spectacle over the return. Nothing somber or respectful. or they knew that it would leak and wanted to get it out further ahead of midterms.
2. Leaked by somebody that tRump has back-stabbed and berated and humiliated for revenge
3. Leaked ahead of something even worse about to come out
4. tRump and Rudy really are that stupid and thought they could leak to take away leverage?
