Individual-1

Federal Prosecutors ‘Concluded that President of the United States Committed a Felony’

One of the details that immediately jumped off the pages of Southern District of New York (SDNY) prosecutors’ Friday sentencing memo for Michael Cohen has to do with “Individual-1,” also known as President Donald Trump.

Prosecutors were pretty open about who Individual-1 was from the start and how he came to “direct” Cohen to commit felonies:

On approximately June 16, 2015, Individual-1, for whom Cohen worked at the time, began an ultimately successful campaign for President of the United States. Cohen had no formal title with the campaign, but had a campaign email address, and, at various times advised the campaign, including on matters of interest to the press. Cohen also made media appearances as a surrogate and supporter of Individual-1. During the campaign, Cohen played a central role in two similar schemes to purchase the rights to stories – each from women who claimed to have had an affair with Individual-1 – so as to suppress the stories and thereby prevent them from influencing the election. With respect to both payments, Cohen acted with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. Cohen coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls, about the fact, nature, and timing of the payments.

Then came to key line: “In particular, and as Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1.”

Mueller outlines Cohen Russia contacts and illegal payoffs to women

Trump implicated in campaign finance law violations regarding women who claimed affairs

Who is next. Trump must be feeling Mueller's hot breath on his face.

[Brian Peacock]

Trump (aka 'Individual 1') may believe that the memos released on Friday 'clear' him, but if he does, he's just displaying the militant ignorance which has characterized his entire presidency. In fact he's been unequivocally implicated in criminal acts.

'Cohen spoke with Russian to set up Trump-Putin meeting, Mueller reveals'

One of Donald Trump’s closest advisers spoke during the 2016 election campaign with a Russian offering help from Moscow and a meeting with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, the special counsel Robert Mueller revealed on Friday.

Federal prosecutors also alleged that Trump directed the adviser, Michael Cohen, to make illegal payoffs to two women who claimed to have had sexual relationships with Trump, implicating the president in the violation of campaign finance laws. They recommended that Cohen receive a prison sentence of about four years.

Perhaps this is just the foundation of a PR ruse whereby later he'll claim to his base that he was exonerated by people who would, by then, be calling for his head.

Comey and House Democrats said the interview was a waste of time consumed with questions about Hillary Clinton's emails.

With Trump, there's always a tweet.



So what's it mean when he gets his third Chief of Staff in two years?

BREAKING: Hannity touted as possible replacement for Flynn

Hill correspondent uses chance to rehash all we already knew about Comey
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house ... sa-warrant

The towering ex-FBI boss confessed that the FBI had not corroborated much of the Steele dossier before it was submitted as evidence to a secret court to support a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in the final weeks of the election.

And Comey admitted much of the dossier remained uncorroborated more than six months later when he was fired by President Trump.

I won’t waste too much time harping on the enormity of this confession. Everyday Americans now know that the FISA court process is an honor system and that the FBI may only submit evidence it has verified to the judges.

what he meant to say was that EVERY SINGLE thing in Steele dossier is now corroberated and only the pee pee tapes are missing.

Putin has those in a lovely gold case.
