MSNBC reporting HACKERS at Prague meeting.

[madaboutharry]

Natasha Bertrand reporting that Cohen was there to pay hush money to shut up the hackers!

I can not catch my breath.

[TubbersUK]

1. K & R n/t

[mercuryblues]

2. All this news

is coming out so fast I feel like I ran a marathon

[Leghorn21]

3. Keep breathing and keep posting, mad!! Youre doin great!!! nt

[Matthew28]

4. Does

this mean that Trump and people around him were working with the russian hackers? Is this enough to get him impeached?

[mopinko]

11. i dont know how paying off hackers isnt conspiracy.

aka collusion.

[Marie Marie]

22. Nothing is enough to get him impeached unless the Republicans are willing to do so.

And that remains questionable. Me? I don't want him impeached - I want him indicted, prosecuted and jailed - on something! Pick a crime, any of his crimes.

[triron]

43. With you on that!

[Different Drummer]

5. Recommended with a great big kickaroo! n/t

[unblock]

6. Let me be the first to bet that one of the hackers weighs 400 lbs.

Donnie's crack about a 400 lbs. hacker during the campaign didn't come from nowhere, he lacks the imagination.

[LisaM]

7. Yep, you're probably right.

Do we want to know how Trump knows the guy works out of his bedroom? Just sayin....

[spanone]

8. K&R...

[malaise]

9. The Unraveling

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Rec

[calimary]

23. ... things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...” William Butler Yeats’ verses echo in my mind.

His poem “The Second Coming” is one of the scariest, most disturbing poems I’ve ever read. It’s creeped me out since high school English Lit class.

[malaise]

24. +1,000

[ET Awful]

29. What rough beast, it's hour come round at last

slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?

[eleny]

32. Omg

And lately Steven King's The Stand keeps coming back. There are too many damn walking men.

[SharonAnn]

48. Me too

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Not sure if I believe this. Two alternatives:

1) Hush money to shut up blackmailers from Putin. They may have said we don't want money, we want sanctions relief and coordination.

2) Money to commission a hack of DNC.

But I am only speculating.

[pnwmom]

25. They're just as guilty if one of your alternatives is correct. n/t

[flying_wahini]

39. I bet your closer than you think.

Sadly.

[CaptainTruth]

12. I really hope this is true, and the evidence supports it.

They're treasonous bastards, and I want to see them pay for it.

I'm sick and tired of Republican presidents getting away with crimes (see Bush/Cheney war crimes).

[Takket]

13. looks like cohen might by the lynchpin of everything from collusion to stormy............

the entire drumpf crime syndicate went through him...................

[Roland99]

14. Steele dossier solid as steel

[More_Cowbell]

20. Yes, that was in the dossier nt

[IluvPitties]

15. And now Trump is bombing Syria.

[calimary]

28. Yep. Tonight would be ideal for a BIG-ASS distraction.

Especially with his little buddy Michael Cohen in deeper and deeper doo-doo.

[NBachers]

16. Can I really allow myself to believe this?

[triron]

17. Yeah to clean up after Manafort and Gates etc as well.

[doxyluv13]

18. Hackers, and Hookers, wow!

n/t

[smirkymonkey]

50. Sounds like it should be the name of a new nightclub.

[SergeStorms]

19. To be fair........

(and I hate being fair where Trump is concerned) no one has said what hacking activity they supposedly were paid for. At first glance we all say, "what other hacking activity is there"? We don't know yet, and I'll be very pleased to give a mea culpa should it prove to be the hacking activity we all hope it is. Just sayin'. I've gotten my hopes up too many times to have them dashed against the rocks again.

[pnwmom]

26. Hacking is illegal period. n/t

[brush]

30. If he's over there paying off hackers it sure wasn't for his health.

He's trump's fixer. Whatever it was you can bet it was illegal.

You don't just go to Europe on a hacking vacay. Some crooked shit happened.

[OnDoutside]

36. To be fair, Trump is known for hacking around Scottish Golf courses....

[brush]

37. Well, that's true. As for Cohen though in Prague...

[elias7]

40. That's quite a hook he's got there...

[brush]

42. I'd call it a slice since it's way to the right.

[Pepsidog]

21. Deplorables Wanted. If you or anyone you know are traitors, hackers, pedophiles, pee worshippers and

similarly situated deplorable people then welcome to the Republican Party, where deplorable people of all sorts and sizes meet and gather to socialize and talk about and do really deplorable shit.

[Me.]

27. Shut Them Up About What?

Rigging the election?

[creeksneakers2]

31. This report is coming from McClatchy

I don't know how true it is but here is the article:

Sources: Mueller has evidence Cohen was in Prague in 2016, confirming part of dossier

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article208870264.html

[Leghorn21]

45. I just posted this elsewhere, creek, on a Cohen thread...no one else is confirming the Prague story

McClatchy reporting is starting to catch my attention the last couple weeks, beginning with a Cohen piece that included:

“Sater is cooperating with Mueller’s investigation and provided more than six hours of closed-door testimony on Wednesday to the Senate Intelligence Committee”

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article208090764.html.

It was SOOO casually stated, and no one else has confirmed that Sater has FLIPPED.

Then on Wednesday, they reported this Pompeo story - and all references to it refer to McClatchy article:

April 11, 2018 05:55 PM
WASHINGTON

CIA Director Mike Pompeo failed to disclose last year that he owned a Kansas business that imported oilfield equipment from a company owned by the Chinese government.

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article208630194.html


I woke up this morning looking for confirmation (there is none) and found that Benjamin “babycannon” Wittes is also withholding his BOOM for a later date:

...so, I surely hope McClatchy reports are all correct, but meanwhile, I’m remaining kinda leery right now....!!

[duforsure]

33. If this is proven

Trump campaign paid hackers this will be the final straw , and they'll turn on him, or face losing both Houses of Congress. The American people will vote them out of office if they continue to do nothing to trump, and the Nov. election will give control back to the Democrats, then they'll go after trump, and members of Congress as co-conspirators. The GOP is in a corner with trump now. trump's a career killer.

[tavernier]

35. Are you sure about Dems going after Rump

once we are in the majority? We are more inclined to sing Kumbaya as recent history shows. Maybe we could use just a little bit of republican blood lust in these cases.

[SCVDem]

41. If the new Democrats congress

Does not prosecute, the streets will fill yet again as justice is denied.

Pelosi did not speak for us regarding Bush/Cheney. Do not make that mistake again!

[triron]

44. Not prosecuting Trump is complicitness imo.

[Achilleaze]

34. republican traitors have betrayed America for money

and power. Sick shit. Lock them up.

[Enoki33]

38. The damning thing is why did Cohen go to such lengths to

disguise the final destination of his trip? This guy is a fixer of illegal actions for primarily one client who now sees the NY investigation as more dangerous to him than the Mueller one.
Note: Heard Lindsay Graham advising that tRump should allow the Mueller investigation process to play out, and immediately wondered if some kind of Congressional fix has been agreed to.

[sharedvalues]

46. Do we have Bertrand writing on this? Tweet? Article?
