    We're not going to get a response, because naming specifics (unless the specifics encompass almost all of the report) will lend credence to the rest of the report and validate it in the eyes of the public. That would throw open the gates of hell and basically torpedo whatever work is left to do in Mueller 's investigation.

    Mueller wants this to be wrapped up nice and tight. When his report drops, there should be no loose ends, questions unanswered, or people yet to be brought into custody. Anything other than that jeopardizes his ability to do his job.

    This USA Today editorial is pretty direct...

    Trump pursued a deal in Russia and hid it from voters

    Dang, breitbart and 4-chan have been covering other stores surprisingly... but I am sure you can come up with other reputable sources that counter or explain the points made in the editorial. Maybe Alex Jones or fox news have something? ;)

    Is an editorial an opinion piece?

    Is there anything beyond things that have appeared in social media (eg trump's tweets) and things rudy has said on TV? Sure seems that whatever frightened cohen will be added to any investigation of witness tampering and obstruction of justice.

    Bwahaha. Keep telling yourself that.

    What this shows is that people can pretty easily get out of testifying before Congress, with little or really no legitimate justification.

    Even after he was warned, trump had to threaten cohen's family... what would you expect? btw, this has no effect on what Mueller has already and will continue to investigate...

    Yes.

    Have you never seen a Scorsese movie? Trump makes Jimmy Conway & Remo seem subtle about their "SUGGESTIONS". You are lying if you come here and try to act as though Trump has not threatened Cohen via SUGGESTION over the past couple of weeks.

    Has he threatened him with violence.... maybe not. But he has absolutely threatened him in other ways such as ordering investigations & prosecution of his father in law. Thats a threat of suggestion.

    Mueller team claimed Manafort lied

    Manafort team defense: He did not lie .. he just demonstrated lack of consistency in recollection of facts

    Will that fly ??:)
