Rep. Cummings says if their names were mentioned yesterday, they will be called to testify.




Rachael Bade (WA Post, CNN)

@RepCummings says if Michael Cohen mentioned their names in the hearing yesterday, chances are they will be called in to testify, too. Heads up @DonaldJTrumpJr, Allen Weisselberg, maybe Ivanka & Jared

Sekulow says Cohen is lying. Cohen says Sekulow is lying. Somebody's Lying. rurallib Feb 2019 #19
But Cohen has the documents. So does SDNY. lagomorph777 Feb 2019 #20

Trump Org? Is his life in jeopardy? Does he have 24/7 security? Cause I do believe this guy KNOWS ALL

Apparently, he was given immunity at some point last year for a very narrow area of inquiry (per Mimi Rocha last night, if I understood correctly) -

At any rate, he remains one of the bigger mystery men to me - Sater and Weisselberg, WHAT IS YOUR DEAL??!??

ps please televise his hearing, thankyou

so long ago, I’ve been wondering what his status is now - he’s got the goods, no question, but how will he play this out???

Yeah, so the fifth, wow - hey, you know what MF45 says, right? ONLY MOBSTERS TAKE THE FIFTH!!!

and there's not a lot of downstream family to worry about.

Perhaps easiest to just fade into oblivion in a prison cell than worry about the mobsters (trumpfamily) trying to threaten you and yours.

Maybe that was in some other phase of some one else's investigation.
I would think immunity to Weiselberg would be a small price to nail the scum and their organizations.

I'm not sure how immunity works in terms of congressional testimony, but some legal minds seem to think he may refuse to spill the beans.

I do think immunity would be a small price to pay for all that Weiselberg knows.

To get the next witness to mention “Nunes, McConnell and Hannity” be considered witness tampering? Just asking for a friend.

I understand that Pecker and dumpf are no longer "bosom buddies" (or the term could include some of those used by dumpf/epstein.

Cohen clearly and distinctly spoke of FELIX SATER yesterday!!!!!!

https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/cohen-felix-sater-suggested-to-trump-to-give-a-penthouse-to-putin-as-a-marketing-stunt-1449306179804


Oh this just got way way better

He’s a tricky one because he did some work for I think the CIA? long ago instead of going to prison for some wrongdoing

Ha, I used to know this stuff!! - but anyway, he might be untouchable because of this ^...delicate situation...

Well, let’s stay tuned shall we??!

Good Sater background here:

investigations. I wonder if there is a central point where all of these multiple investigations, etc. are listed/shown, and what they are doing? Also, apparently there are other investigations not known about prior to Cohen's testimony yesterday when he was asked about other illegal acts or wrong doing not discussed in today's testimony and he replied yes, by the SDNY.

I'm aware of 17 such (prior to the above) investigations.

to see how they will respond to oversight from the American people and their elected representatives

* spawn of the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

Workers inside the family firm refer secretly to Trump's sons as 'Uday and Qusay' - a reference to Saddam Hussein's truly, horrifically monstrous offspring.

"The backbiting catalogued in 'Fire and Fury' extends beyond the White House to Don Jr. and Eric Trump, who according to the book got a nickname from Iraqi bloodthirsty tyrants.

"Author Michael Wolff mentions Don Jr. and Eric, stating early in his tome that 'behind their backs known to Trump insiders as Uday and Qusay.'..."
