Yesterday's testimony by Cohen opened a lot of criminal activity to national sunlight. True enough, nothing he said, on its own, will convict anyone of anything. But the sleuths are southing. The subpoenas are subpoenaing. The hearing hearers are hearing. Allegations of serious crimes by the Great Dealmaker are now numerous and enumerable. Documents documenting dirty deeds are making their way to Congressional - and presumably various offices well stocked with career prosecutors - investigators waiting to investigate.
And not one damned bit of it related to Russian Collusion.
Just a mom and pop business breaking lots of laws. A gang of maybe . . . . what? . . . . . twenty or thirty people. About the size of your average 1970s capo's crew. Not even the capo regime. Just average thugs in track suits driving Cadillacs and hanging in the back room of a sportsman's club in Queens.
I will be thrilled if the leading agency is the NY AG's office, not the feds.

And I am looking forward to them trading those duds for orange jump suits.

(2,275 posts)Don't forget that Mother Earth wants everyone here on DU to stop global warming! Stop gazing at Ivanka's whatever and START gazing at proposals to get us out of this runaway train to planetary over-heating. Like, well, the Green New Deal.

I wish I knew the outcome now. I want to fast forward to the end since I do not care about "spoilers". I have a few years left and want to know how it ends before I die. The suspense of this is almost killing me.
