Ex FBI lawyer to plead guilty

https://www.startribune.com/ex-fbi-lawyer-to-plead-guilty-in-durham-s-trump-russia-probe/572111742/
The FBI lawyer that (allegedly) changed a document to steer the Russia investigation is due to plead guilty of making a false statement.
Will this be the tip of the iceberg, will there be more to come, or will this end the
probe?

So far, it seems to be a one off.... no matter all the right-wing 'Obamagate' hand wringing...it's coming down this month, this week, this day .. whoops, maybe not....
More interesting will be Cohen's book, where he says that Trump absolutely did collude with Russia.....

And much bigger criminals and bigger actions by Flynn & Roger Stone are given get out of jail cards by Trump & his personal attorney, Bill Barr.

I don't know how Cohen's getting around the NYS law that criminals can't profit from their crimes, including books. What he's circulating is an "intro" & mock-up cover. Besides, who's going to believe him?

I see your question, but at this stage what's he got to lose to speak the truth? I suspect his recent trip to Congress was factual. The intro certainly seems believable given what other sources have stated, and it's not a stretch to think the things Cohen has said are true. Let's face it, Trump has a record, and he's not clean in many regards. Trump is a con man trying to destroy democracy and has done significant damage in 3 1/2 years to this country, its environment, and its institutions.

I think there will be a legal challenge to publication.
That aside, Cohen was scared he'd gotten caught, was going to prison, & spilled anything he thought Congress might want to hear. The into to his book mentions how he'd spent so much time w/Trump - at strip clubs, casinos, paying off women. I don't think there's a lot about Russia. He wants to sell books? He's going salacious.

Cohen is a crook and crooked lawyer (and the world is full of them, one just shot and killed a judge's son in NJ) but Flynn is innocent. Flynn was set up by those with CIA and FBI trying to keep Trump from taking over on January 20th.
Carter Page should sue this lawyer, the FBI and James Comey. Page had his civil rights kicked to the curb. Page will win a law suite and the government will be forced to make him a multimillionaire.
I can understand them being suspicious of Trump and whether or not he was representing Russia and Putin but what they did to Flynn and Page is criminal.
I'm suspicious of Trump and Putin. But 25 million dollars and 2 1/2 years later Robert Muller's probe couldn't connect the dots.
Adam Schiff keeps claiming collusion between Russia and Trump is clear and obvious. All you have to do is look. It's out in the open. Adam is a leaker and liar too and way, way too partisan to chair an investigation.
The Democrats blew it big time by going it alone in the impeachment. You NEVER remove a president or judge or anybody without bipartisan support. I blame Schiff and Nadler for that. Their hatred and repulsive disposition about Donald Trump is so powerful, they just couldn't help themselves. They didn't play it smart and Trump is still there. They have been trying to keep him out of the White House since Trump shocked everyone on November 6th, 2016 and won. The late John Lewis went to his grave despising Trump and refused to go to Trump's inauguration or attend any of Trump's state of the union addresses because it was outrageous that such a racist bully and cheat could have followed Barrack Obama. Trump had to have cheated and must have cheated with the Russians. To John Lewis Trump was not really the president. Trump cheated and is not legitimate. Hillary Clinton is suppose to be in the White House.

You don't plead guilty twice if you are innocent.....

You don't plead guilty twice if you are innocent.....
Bingo - we have a winner.
Flynn lied twice to the FBI. The prefect choice in the Trump Admin. We need more like him.

Doesn't it amaze you how the obvious is so hard to understand...but then again you probably aren't interested in conspiracy theories and lack of evidence opinions. I wonder why people get so wrapped up in these conspiracy BS narratives. It's what is the big divider. Truth verse conspiracies and those who choose to believe the absurd

Truth verse conspiracies and those who choose to believe the absurd
What's really confusing is how absurd the truth actually has become over the past 3.5 years. When a president suggests drinking bleach to cure the 4 million cases of "China Flu" & cozies up to his idol (& former US nemesis) Putin & fires experts in any field who contradict his fantasies, the average person accustomed to getting basic information & leadership from an administration is faced w/choosing to even believe the POTUS. He doesn't quite seem real.

Cohen is a crook and crooked lawyer
But his longtime client is not a crook and his integrity should not be questioned?
The cognitive dissonance within the mind of Trump people is shocking.
Obviously if you hire a lawyer who is "a crook and a crooked lawyer" and refer to him as a "fixer" rather than "my attorney", you are a shady enough for people to wonder if you are fit to be president.

But the shocking thing is people DON'T make that connection. Granted, a portion of the population think lawyers are liars & thieves, but that wouldn't explain why an upstanding client would seek out & keep a lying thief on the payroll. It also again highlights the total lack of a basic civics understanding that Trump has never encountered a lawyer who does anything except transactions & divorce; not civil rights, public interest, free speech, or just plain constitutional scholars - people who are working for justice not his personal best interest.

And that *tRump(The impeached president) is Individual #1 in MC's conviction. A un-indicted co-conspirator not indicted by a policy and not a law...
NY can't wait for Jan 21'st 2021 plus if he stalls the exchange of power Nancy Pelosi becomes President....now wouldn't that make the Magatards whirl...
