It is really not fair when spectacularly
encouraging news happens within a few days of other spectacularly encouraging
news. Before you are finished celebrating and savoring the first mood booster,
you have another and maybe even better one to begin digesting. Think of when
the waiter ruined your perfect dining experience by bringing your amazing entrée
while you were still enjoying your amazing appetizer.
So, you find out that the FBI raided the office,
home, and hotel room of Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney. Holy cow! Did
anyone see that coming? What incriminating treasures are now in the hands of America’s
lawmen?
And then, Paul Ryan, the most powerful enabler in
government announces his retirement, making that promised blue wave look even bigger
and bluer. At another time, this story would be huge, and there would so much
to talk about, but living as we do in a 3-ring Trumpian circus, it can be
difficult to keep your eyes on the fire-eater, while another performer is sticking
his head in a tiger’s mouth.
Like I said, it’s not fair.
But, back to the Cohen treasure chest.
Michael Cohen, the self-proclaimed fixer, was
apparently doing much more fixing than lawyering.
Fortunately for us, he is a very sloppy fixer.
He missed getting his client’s signature on the Stormy
Daniels non-disclosure agreement, possibly nullifying the NDA. Oops!
Now we know that he brokered a $1.6 million
hush-money deal for Elliott Broidy, RNC deputy fundraising chair who made the completely
understandable mistake of impregnating a Playboy Playmate, who was also not his
wife. Did the fixer really think this would stay fixed?
So Broidy was forced to resign, following in the
equally creepy footsteps of former RNC fundraising chair, Steve Wynn. But that
is not the priceless, museum quality treasure unearthed in the raid on the
president’s sloppy fixer.
Nope! There is something bigger and much more
precious.
There just might be solid evidence that Michael
Cohen lied about a very important matter – a matter of Russian collusion in the
2016 presidential election.
The famous Christopher Steele dossier claimed that
Michael Cohen was in Prague in late August or early September of 2016 for the
purpose of meeting with Russian hackers to discuss paying for their services
without leaving a trace of those payments.
Michael Cohen reacted immediately to this report,
by stating: “I have never been to Prague in my life.” He even showed a picture
of his passport to prove it. Does the Mueller team have proof that he was in
Prague? Do they have proof that he met with Russian hackers? Do they have proof
that payments were made?
And will Michael “the Fixer” Cohen do as he once
bragged by “taking a bullet” for Donald Trump?
Or will Michael Cohen, decide not to spend the
rest of his life in prison and do what mobster, Sammy “the Bull” Gravano did to
his boss, John Gotti, and testify against Donald Trump?
That would truly be a Fantasy Flip!
I can’t believe my two minutes are up, and I
haven’t even mentioned the name, Comey.
