    If we just get a little more government involvement in health care and education, the costs will definitely turn around

    “He fired Comey because Comey would not, among other things, say that he wasn’t a target of the investigation,” Giuliani said. “He’s entitled to that."

    Interesting theory of entitlement.

    After Comey publicly confirmed the existence of the probe in March of 2017, Trump told Comey in a March 30 phone call that he wanted Comey to confirm he was not personally under investigation, to publicly “lift the cloud” that the probe had cast over his presidency, according to Comey’s memos. Comey detailed in the memos that he didn’t want to do this, because the status of the probe could change (as it ultimately did), and he wanted to avoid having to publicly confirm such a change later. Comey took this exchange seriously enough to report it to his superiors at the Justice Department.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...=.cbace5c18c31

    To be clear, it still remains very unlikely that Mueller will try to indict Trump for obstruction of justice. But Mueller is expected to produce a report on the obstruction question, and his findings on it may be made public in some form. Whether or not Trump can be held criminally liable for obstruction, Mueller may end up documenting a pattern of very serious misconduct, which could shed new light on just how far Trump went to shield himself and his cronies from accountability, something that could have serious implications for our politics and for our efforts to restore the integrity of the rule of law amid Trump’s nonstop degradation of it.

    Giuliani has inadvertently lent more salience of this whole line of inquiry.

    I think Trump is now calling his own legal shots. Giuliani was brought out of mothballs to do and say exactly what Trump tells him. Can't see Emmet Flood lasting very long in that environment.

    I wonder if Trump has proof that he pays Cohen a monthly retainer to "fix" situations like Stormy. Wow. It must happen a LOT, then.

    They really do just make this stuff up as they go. If this was true why didn't they say so months ago?

    apparently the retainer is 35K per month...which should cover a few things

    my suspicion is that Giuliani and Trump are attempting to firm up claims regarding how much of the materials seized from Cohen is privileged information

    He's an attention hog and a little past his prime. It's a risky combination...and one that also speaks to the President's judgement, IMO.

    his legal bills can be easily verified by cross checking his tax return

    a $35K per month retainer would qualify as a business expense

    Cohen is Trump's personal attorney.
