TELLTALE SIGNS

So Michael Cohen will not take a bullet for the President after all.  He will not take a stand and be convicted.  He has pleaded guilty, and in so doing, has said he conspired with the President, then candidate Trump, to commit felony election fraud. We may not ever get to full disclosure from anyone about Russia and Trump’s indebtedness to the Russian Mafia…or anything to do with Putin.  Election crimes may be enough to force an impeachment if Dems get a House majority.

Surely there is no brave Republican who will go to the White House and tell him to resign…as Howard Baker did with then-Pres. Nixon.  No, this self-serving bunch in the Congress will try to elide the whole thing.  The Republicans hope the electorate will somehow pretend it’s business as usual…happy stock market, high employment…and vote to keep a Republican party in power that empowers a crook.  Who cares about honesty or the Constitution?  It’s pathetic what a bunch of white men will do to the nation in order to retain their power and get richer. Obeisance to the cult leader must be maintained.  Yet right now the very first two Congressmen who endorsed Trump find themselves facing felony charges!!!  What is it about the criminal mind that is so drawn to the Trumpster? Might just be some scent of a special felonious pheromone. Fi ve Trump officials guilty of crimes in less than two years…starting to make Nixon look pretty good, his crime gang didn’t start to fall apart until the second term…Mitchell, Agnew, Haldemann, Erlichman, the plumbers…

You can be sure that this current Congress will not embark on any investigation of Trump Campaign crimes.   Nor will they stand up to protect Mueller.  Yet let us note that the conviction of Cohen happened in New York, with no direct involvement of the Mueller investigation, so further probes there have nothing directly to do with Mueller.  Mueller could end his investigation tomorrow and move to the Seychelles, but Trump’s woes would not end.  Trump gonna fire the whole federal attorney staff in New York’s Southern District?

He must be getting so fed up with all these limits to his greatness and power.  No wall.  No military parade.  Sessions still around.  The enemy networks still broadcasting.  The failing New York Times not failed enough to disappear. Brennan still walking around, and Comey, and Obama…Nobody has locked up Hillary or arrested Omarosa.  Where’s the damned loyalty?
