POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Re: POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Usually those words are along the lines of, "you'll find a body in the freezer in my cellmate's basement." Sure, just words, since that guy's never been in that basement, but easily verified as true or false. I don't think anyone could get a deal by claiming that thier cellmate was the real Jack the Ripper.

I'm not going to pretend to know how common it is but there are a number of people who have been convicted on faulty information provided by jailhouse snitches that could've discredited by a more competent lawyer. Like I said though this is generally in cases where the person on trial doesn't have access to good legal help or their lawyer is just an idiot. In Cohen/Dump's case it's highly doubtful that he doesn't have useful information that can help the prosecution.

Immunity is often dependent upon the "snitch" providing truthful information. If the person intentionally misleads, or is found to have been withholding vital details, then immunity can be revoked. There may also be different types of deals about which I'm unaware, as I won't pretend to be a lawyer.

And in this case, they are surely not relying on just personal opinions of specific people. If the person can supply information, that can also be gotten via a different path- which basically confirms the data from multiple sources, then they can really use that to nail someone.

I see them trying to just poke holes in dumpy's constant likes and adjustments to what happened. It's amazing that they have let this go on that badly, as all it ends up doing is adding to possible obstruction problems- every point the excuse changes, or more correctly, the cover up changes.

Right when immunity is being offered they would need verifiable/credible information I would imagine.

Ron Rosenstein can't be far behind. And that's the equivalent to the "Saturday Night Massacre". So, I do not understand how these Republicans can be running around in favor of removing Jeff Sessions.

I swear it is like they think Hillary won...they had a whole play book in mind to destroy her including having it be rigged. Problem is she lost and they have no other plans so they go forward with the same plan.

Lock the ****ing ***** up.

They weren’t comprehensive enough. Four people actually died in Benghazi.

Trump is the victim here. He was a political novice who unfortunately trusted the wrong people.

At Ohio GOP dinner here, Trump gives an extended shout-out to the "great" Jim Jordan, telling the crowd -- "don't ever wrestle him."

Curious what do the resident republicans think about trump admitting he only hired sessions for loyalty?
Here’s a hint- what would you have said if obama had said he only hired holder for him to be loyal?

Re: POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

I have no clue what kind of rediculous point you are trying to make

IF flipping is made illegal, then the "price" of flipping becomes non-existent. If snitch knows he cannot get a better deal, s/he's gonna keep their mouth shut, and not risk being killed/maimed/whatever by the people they are snitching on.

Flipping helps catch the big fish. Scooby was saying it's for white collar crime. He's partially right. It's for all crime.
