Anyone Watch Nicolle Wallace Today?

If you want the shit scared out of you watch her segment with Michael Cohen.

I ask the wait and see crowd to watch it.

I don't know if her segment is up on line yet, it starts at 5PM. I will check it out after supper and post it.

... Cohen change his mind about The Donald running. He is running in 2024. The announcement making news would be that he's NOT running, because he is running, presently.

but won't actually run. He's getting donations now and doesn't have to account for the money. He can spend it anyway he wants. Once he declares his candidacy, he has to report the money and there are restrictions on how it's spent.

reassuring us that we "have time" and merely have to vote.

Speaking to those like-minded and highly informed colleagues, but who counsel patience day in and day out re: Trump is about to run its course. Are we already too late? We certainly are getting close.

he cares only about power and money and he'll do anything at all to benefit himself and his need for power, including basically turning us over to Putin. Stuff we've known all along but stated in really apocalyptic terms.

My dh has been defending Garland contrary to my assertions that Garland is not acting with the force that is and has been badly needed.

And I'm sticking to it.

Cohen said that Merrick Garland would rather not indict Donald Trump, but he now feels he must. He made the point about DOJ dragging its feet. He said that spies don't have to sneak into Mar-el-Loco and steal top secret nuclear documents, Trump will get on the phone to whoever and tell them, do you want this information, put 2 billion dollars in my Swiss bank account, put 2 billion dollars in Jared's hedge fund.

Cohen said that Trump doesn't care about the subpoena, he will never turn over documents or testify.

Cohen said that people act as if Trump is a stupid buffoon, but he is an evil genius. Cohen said that Trump was so underestimated as to the harm he did to our country. He said that Trump made America weak and when America is weak, the world is weak, and expecting President Biden to fix everything in 2 years is idiotic. He said that President Biden has done a good job but it will take time to fix what Trump did.

Cohen said that Trump should have been stopped long ago, he should have been nailed for a low hanging crime, like tax evasion. Cohen then blasted Alvin Bragg for letting Trump off the hook.

There was a heavy emphasis on how time matters. Cohen feels that Trump should be arrested now, regardless of the upcoming election. He said that Trump isn't going to wait until after the election to sell the top secret documents he stole.

Cohen said that DOJ should have searched every Trump property, should have searched Eric and Jr.'s and Jared's house.

I understand that Cohen is pushing his book, but he knows Trump pretty well.

We now know that Trump stole documents that reveal sources and methods and that means that our overseas spies are going to be killed, can we afford to wait? The last sentence was my thought.

He hasn't even seen Trump in years. He knows nothing about what the guy will do, yet the media keeps trotting him out as an expert.

I think Cohen pretty much has his "number," even if he doesn't know the current "specifics."

He's reduced to 3-4,000 cult members showing up now. Only the most ignorant morans (sp on purpose) are going to vote for him in 2024. It would be the Democrats greatest gift if he continued to suck the life out of the Republican Party.

He talked about moving to Canada, but because Trump idolizes Putin so much, he may try to annex Canada or Mexico, he attempted to joke.

He’s not an investigative reporter or former prosecutor, he’s a former Trump criminal accomplice trying to grift his reputation back to respectability.

Nothing he could say would scare me.
