Potentially it could be big. I mean, looking at Michael Cohen, what this means is the same tactic that we have seen happening in this investigation out of the Southern District of new york, is happening, that we see happen in the Mueller Investigation. They go after other witnesses, encourage them to cooperate, and in this case you have this Business Partner who is cooperating, being offered significant being offered a potential sentence that is much smaller than what he could be facing.

Youre saying its just a he said, he said. Nobody can be sure of anything. Earlier this evening, a long time former Trump Organization employee said this about the possibility of such a meeting occurring without trumps knowledge. Based on my experience working with trump and everybody that worked for trump, something major, something newsworthy, something press worthy, would always go before trump. Always. I think that he would have told donald about the meeting and then if it didnt amount to anything, it would have
Thinks the media is cherrypicking these images and the president s aides are actually bringing him pictures showing these detained children smiling and plays games. More on that in a bit. The president has falsely blamed democrats for the situation on the border. He did so again today. I say its very strongly the democrats fault. Theyre obstruction. Theyre obstructionist, and they are obstructing. The United States will not be a migrant camp, and it will not be a refugeeholding facility. It wont be. You look at whats happening in europe. You look at whats happening in other places. We cant allow that to happen to the United States, not on my watch.
