Giuliani: Trump reimbursed Cohen for $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels

[elix]

Feds tapped Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's phones

At the rate Trump's going, Mueller won't need to call him for an interview, he'll have leaked everything where loosely-related surveillance can pick it up.

I'm assuming autocorrect capitalized the verb "chuck", but I had to re-read those first few words like 5 or 6 times because I kept asking myself "What crime are they doing to Chuck, and who the fuck is he anyway?"

"disregard for the truth" can we please just call them lies?

Apparently Rudy and Trump didn't tell anyone about his game plan to tear the bandage off the Stormy Daniels affair with the truth.

I wonder if this means Sarah will be retiring to spend more time with her family in the next few months.

My favourite thing about that sequence of well-structured and well-written tweets is the spelling mistakes sprinkled throughout, to make it seem more believable that Trump may have written it.

He keeps doing it!

Rudy is about as competent a lawyer as Bannon is a political genius.

Trump hires the best people, I tell you. Out of the hundred million criminal defense attorneys crowding Trump Tower begging to represent him on the case, he picked the most brilliant mind in New York City to take point on his Stormy boat ride. Trump's super biggest brain is in action all the time and this is yet more proof.

I wonder if we'll hear more railing against Amazon this weekend as a distraction, especially because the WaPo's opinions section published this column with a headline that really sums up the whole week.

But just yesterday Trump was affirming what Giuliani was saying?????

[zukriuchen]

i wonder, is giuliani enough of a relatable loudmouth buffoon to trump, that he'll keep him even after this?

anyone sensible would fire him. well, anyone sensible wouldn't have hired him in the first place, or done the things that lead to the hiring, or the things that lead to the need to hire. and so on, for the other 238 thousand mistakes in this sequence of events.

but trump isn't anyone, and he certainly isn't sensible. he's super susceptible to flattery and grandstanding, plus he and giuliani go way back. still expecting him to be fired lol

[Zero-Point]

I mean, he kept him around despite spilling the beans on the true intent of "The Muslim Ban", so why not?
