Title: New Cohen Tape Surfaces a Bigger Trump Fish

Allen Weisselberg knows far more than the president’s former lawyer.

About two months before Election Day in 2016, Donald Trump and his former lawyer (and self-described “fixer”) Michael Cohen were chatting about how to convince a former Playboy model, Karen McDougal, to keep quiet about what she described as a long-term affair with the presidential candidate.

“We’ll have to pay,” Cohen said, according to a recording of the conversation that CNN obtained and broadcast Tuesday night.

“Pay with cash,” Trump appears to respond.

“No, no,” Cohen says. Earlier in the conversation Cohen suggested that he “open a company for the transfer of all of that info” to the National Enquirer and its parent company, American Media Inc. AMI’s chairman, David Pecker, is a friend of the president and he is also referred to on the tape. The Enquirer had already purchased McDougal’s account of her affair with Trump earlier in 2016 and then never published it. Trump and Cohen appear to be discussing a second payment to McDougal (and there is no indication that it was ever made).

“I’ve spoken to Allen Weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up,” Cohen tells Trump. “So, I’m all over that. And, I spoke to Allen about it.”

Weisselberg isn’t a bit player in Trumplandia and his emergence on the Cohen- Trump recording – as someone possibly facilitating a scheme apparently meant to disguise a payoff – should worry the president. Weisselberg has detailed information about the Trump Organization’s operations, business deals and finances. If he winds up in investigators’ crosshairs for secreting payoffs, he could potentially provide much more damaging information to prosecutors than Cohen ever could about the president’s dealmaking.

Cohen, of course, already is reportedly being investigated by federal prosecutors in New York for possibly engaging in bank fraud, wire fraud and campaign finance violations. To the extent that his legal travails spill over onto the president, it’s worrisome to the White House. But campaign finance violations aren’t likely to be as threatening to Trump as more serious transgressions such as, for example, obstruction of justice or exchanging policy favors for financial gain.

Moreover, Cohen has only worked for Trump since 2006, and he never operated as a traditional lawyer. Instead, he brought potential licensing deals to the president's attention for years and also worked with the career criminal and Trump business partner Felix Sater on a proposal for a Trump project in Moscow. (Sater and Cohen, childhood friends, also paired up to push an initiative to end economic sanctions against Russia imposed because of its military annexation of part of Ukraine; Putin, according to my Bloomberg News colleagues, reportedly discussed a plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine during his private meeting with Trump in Helsinki last week.)

Who cares? Before he was in office and it had nothing to do with an intern while in office!

Now lets talk about real crimes such as Clinton on a tarmac with AG Rice, Email scandal, Server scandal, Bernie scandal, Benghazi scandal, IRS scandal, Fast and Furious scandal, Obummercare scandal and more! So damn many of them it would take a life time to investigate them all!!

BTW hows that impeachment going or even Trump resignation going! LMAO!!!

For selling arms to Saudi Arabia, a terrorist state by your own admission. That will do for starters.

“Pay with cash,” Trump appears to respond.

Contested but, even if accurate, nothing on the tape indicates any criminality by Trump. Conspiring to buy the McDougal story, or buying the McDougal story, would not be illegal.

McDougal demanding payment upon the threat of telling the story could infer a case of blackmail against McDougal. It is doubtful that Mueller or the Fake News is interested in that.

I’ve spoken to Allen Weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up,” Cohen tells Trump.

Oh, noes. Michael Cohen spoke to Allen Weisselberg.

"President Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen is willing to testify to Special Council Robert Mueller that Trump was aware of an infamous June 2016 meeting with Russian operatives at Trump Tower before it happened."

I'm not a lawyer.

However as an American I can tell you what I think.

The current resident of the WH was offered, through his family, friends, and colleagues, (and quite possibly directly) material assistance to fraudulently gain advantage in the presidential elction from a hostile foreign power.

The Russians OFFERED this assistance purely to benefit themselves and their agenda.

Both sides in any deal seek to help their own cause....what was offered in return for this assistance?

DS Donnie knew about the meeting and welcomed the opportunity to enter into a deal with the criminal enterprise which is the Kremlin.

He lied about his involvement in making this deal, and he continues to lie about it.

So what is this crime called? You tell me.

There is no support for the allegations that "The Russians offered assistance to DJT. There is no support for an allegation that any deal was offered to DJT, or that he offered anything in return. There is no evidence that DJT knew about the meeting. DJT did not attend the meeting. There is no support for your allegation that any deal was made with DJT. There is no evidence of any criminal enterprise with DJT.

If DJT lied when he denied knowing about the meeting, lying is not a crime.

So what is this crime called? You tell me.

It is called what you ain't got. Keep trying though.

Considering it's not a crime the not so sane are going to have a very hard time doing something about it, but that hasn't/won't stop them from trying. The biggest issue I see is the average person is sick of hearing about this BS and are tuning out the collusion/conspiracy theorists, and the polls are showing this his approval ratings are climbing higher the more the fools scream about his faux collusion. Good luck impeaching a President with 50% or better approval rating it ain't going to happen.
