Trump facing 'real risk' of impeachment or criminal charges after Cohen and Manafort cases, experts say
Tom Batchelor,The Independent
The chances that Donald Trump will not see out his full term as president increased dramatically yesterday with two former advisers facing lengthy spells in prison, analysts said.
The conviction of the president’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and the plea deal entered by his ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, “significantly” raised the odds of impeachment, indictment or Mr Trump resigning from office, political experts said.
The setbacks refocused attention on Robert Mueller's inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, with the likelihood that Cohen will now cooperate with the investigation said to be “very high”.
Brian Klaas, a former US campaign adviser, said Mr Trump suffered both legal and political damage from Tuesday’s courtroom drama and there was now a "real risk" that Cohen would cooperate with the Mueller probe.
“The odds of Trump either being impeached or somehow not finishing his term went up significantly yesterday,” he told The Independent.
“There is a growing consensus among at least Democrats and independents, if not Mr Trump's core base, that he is surrounding himself by criminals.
“There are a lot of people in Mr Trump’s inner circle who are either convicted of or pleading guilty to crimes.”
He said the conviction of Manafort by a jury rather than the FBI or a judge “undercuts his claims that this is a witch-hunt or that it is fake news”.
Mr Trump has proved adept at shaking off criticism and outrunning controversy, but David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor who is not involved in the case, said it would now be "hard for the president to try to discredit all this. It's circling him”.
The path to impeachment requires a simple majority vote in the House of Representatives, which the Republicans currently control by a margin of 23 seats, and a senate trial in which two-thirds would need to vote to convict Mr Trump.
Analysts said the political fallout from the Manafort and Cohen cases would also increase the chances of the Democrats taking control of the House in November.
Manafort was convicted of financial crimes at nearly the same moment Cohen pleaded guilty to a series of crimes including campaign finance violations that the lawyer said he carried out in coordination with Mr Trump.
Rodell Mollineau, a senior Democratic strategist, said the news "adds to a constant drumbeat that will ultimately affect some independent voters" and help Democrats at the polls.
Asked about the chances of impeachment, Dr Klaas said it was “still a very high hurdle to clear, but it could happen if the Republican calculation is that sticking with Trump is more damaging than abandoning him”.
He also raised the prospect of the president being indicted while in office.
“There is a divide among constitutional legal scholars as to whether it is constitutional or not to indict a sitting president,” Dr Klaas, of the London School of Economics, said, adding that it remained a possibility.
“There is one outcome in which Mr Mueller decides he has enough evidence to try and indict President Trump, but we don’t know how likely that is, we don’t know if it is possible, we don’t know if the Supreme Court would agree to it.
“The fact that president has handpicked the latest supreme court judge potentially creates the risk of a conflict of interest in a very, very important court case that could arise in the future against the president.”
Of the two latest developments, Cohen's plea deal is said to be more troublesome for the president.
The president’s former “fixer” testified that Mr Trump directed him to commit a crime by arranging payments ahead of the 2016 election to silence two women who said they had had affairs with the New York billionaire businessman.
Mr Trump stayed silent on the Cohen case when questioned by reporters on Tuesday evening, but Dr Klaas said there was a “very high” likelihood the president’s former personal lawyer would now “cooperate in some form with federal prosecutors against Mr Trump”.
Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis on Tuesday indicated that Cohen had information of interest to the Mueller inquiry. “I do believe that he has information about Mr Trump that would be of interest both in Washington as well as New York state.
I know that he wants to tell the truth about Mr Trump and when he first came to me we had long conversations about his views, about the suitability of Mr Trump to be president of the United States, and I believe that Michael Cohen is motivated for his country as well as concern about his family.
“And he will tell the truth.”
“Cohen could die in jail so there is a real risk for him that this is not just something that will go away and it will tempt him to testify against the president,” Dr Klaas said.
Cohen’s own lawyer has said his client would refuse a pardon from Mr Trump, but any attempt to do so would herald a “constitutional crisis”, Dr Klaas added, “because it will be so damaging to have a situation in which the president was either using pardons to avoid his own criminal liability or potentially to pardon himself, which is something that he has dangled in the past.”

Yeah, it's hard to rationalize facts when feelings getting the way - I understand. Your mom is calling - she has your kool-aid ready.
how can you understand anything when facts is not something you are familiar with...you want others to prove you wrong....not you prove you are right...well you are RIGHT.... and that is your problem!
right has to be getting more than a little testy lately
and humpty dumpty came tumbling down!
looks like what was once an inner circle is now more like a noose!

Manhattan prosecutors reportedly considering criminal charges against Trump Organization
Yen Nee Lee
The Manhattan district attorney's office is looking into possible criminal charges against the Trump Organization in relation to Michael Cohen's payment to an adult film actress in exchange for her silence during the presidential campaign, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
Cohen, the former lawyer of U.S. President Donald Trump , received $130,000 from Trump Organization, which the company recorded as a legal expense, according to the report, which cited two officials with knowledge of the matter.
But Cohen on Tuesday claimed that the amount he received was for the payment he made to Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, during the 2016 presidential election campaign to stop her from going public with her claims about an alleged affair with Trump, the Times reported.
The district attorney's office is considering starting a state investigation to look into how the company accounted for that reimbursement and whether business records were falsified, the report said. Such actions could be charged as a low-level felony or misdemeanor, but would become a felony if it's done to commit or conceal another crime, it added.
The Manhattan district attorney's office and the Trump Organization did not immediately reply to CNBC's requests for comment. The New York Times said a Trump Organization lawyer declined to comment for its report.

Donald Trump told 'the countdown to impeachment has already started'
Tom Embury-Dennis,The Independent
Donald Trump has been warned the “countdown” to impeachment is underway, after his former lawyer implicated the president in crimes committed during the 2016 election.
On Thursday, Mr Trump publicly addressed the prospect of impeachment for the first time, claiming the market would “crash” if his presidency was threatened.
“I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” Mr Trump told Fox News. “I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor because, without this thinking, you would see – you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe, in reverse.”
Mr Trump’s comments came after Michael Cohen, his long-time legal “fixer”, pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges, including two counts of campaign finance violations, which he said he committed at the direction of the president.
Cohen admitted paying hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, both alleged to have had extramarital affairs with Mr Trump.
Tom Cole, a Republican member of the House of Representatives, warned it was "too soon" to begin impeachment proceedings, but said: "If something comes out that is clear and convincing and impeachable, I think members will act."
Al Green, a Democratic congressman who has previously filed articles of impeachment against Mr Trump, suggested he may do so again following Cohen’s guilty plea.
"I think the president has to realise that the countdown to impeachment has already started,” he said. "He, at some point, will have to choose if he will face impeachment or if he will resign. It will be his choice. The congress will have no choice but to act.”
"At some point, we have to act."
Most Democrats, however, are keeping quiet about the prospect of removing Mr Trump from office, amid fears pushing the issue will fire up the Republican base ahead of the midterm elections in November.
“I don't think that we should be talking about impeachment,” Democratic senator Tammy Duckworth said.
Nancy Pelosi, the house Democratic leader, has consistently urged her party not to push the issue, and instead work to uphold special counsel Robert Mueller’s ability to investigate potential crimes committed by the Trump campaign.
“The special counsel’s team and the prosecutors in New York are conducting thorough and professional investigations, and they must be allowed to continue free from interference,” Ms Pelosi told fellow Democrats on Wednesday. “As November rapidly approaches, we must also stay focused on delivering our strong economic message to hard-working families across America.”
Trump allies, however, have been discussing impeachment – raising the prospect in an attempt to convince Republican voters to turn out in November.
Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor hired by Mr Trump last month to join his legal team, warned there would be a “revolt” in the US if the president was impeached.
"You could only impeach [Trump] for political reasons and the American people would revolt against that," he said.
"The idea of an impeachment is frankly a sad attempt by Democrats, it’s the only message they seem to have going into the midterms,” Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, told reporters. “It is another great reminder why Americans should support other like-minded candidates like the president.”
Former chief strategist for Mr Trump, Steve Bannon, told Bloomberg: "November is a referendum on impeachment – an up or down vote. Every Trump supporter needs to get with the programme."

As Trump Faces a Wild News Cycle, Fox News Is Running Out of Options (Column)
Daniel D'Addario,Variety
Aug. 21 was among the busiest news days the Trump administration has experienced, in part for the sheer variety of major stories coming to a head. Michael Cohen, the president’s former lawyer, pleaded guilty to charges including tax evasion and bank fraud; Paul Manafort, the former chairman of the Trump presidential campaign, was convicted on multiple fraud counts. So massive were these stories that the indictment of a Republican Congressman for spending campaign funds on personal expenses was practically blotted out.
The Cohen and Manafort stories were all-consuming — that is, everywhere except Fox News, which began its prime-time lineup with President Donald Trump himself, speaking at a rally in West Virginia. This rally, in which Trump touted his own accomplishments and genius as well as the special qualities of his supporters, wasn’t designed as a response to a day of news that cast serious doubt over his presidency, but, at least on Fox News, it had that effect: Transmitting the president’s thoughts, and his personal charisma, to supporters watching at home.
Notably, the president seemed as prickly and ruffled as usual, but not about the news of the day: It was as though neither Manafort nor Cohen had ever existed. Even after Trump stopped speaking, Fox’s on-air talent sought to change the conversation in much the same way, with Sean Hannity repeatedly stating that the charges at issue were relatively minor, in the grand scheme of things, and explicitly not connected to the ongoing investigation into collusion with Russia.
Hannity also, predictably, resurrected an old bete noire every chance he could, asking guests why Hillary Clinton had never faced legal reprisal for the saga of her emails. Hannity’s tendency to speak in a sort of jazzy shorthand made this somewhat random line of questioning especially surreal, as references to “acid-washing hard drives” would crop up without explanation or much context. “Here we are today. Taxi medallions. Sad,” he said, throwing to commercial with an off-handed reference to one of Cohen’s business interests. Hannity sounded, both in rhetorical style and in his relentless denial of any real story here, like the president he so vocally supports.
Fox News has long been Trump’s safe harbor, as both subject and, notably, as viewer; it’s a place where on-camera personalities both tend to treat him with endless indulgence and often seem to be speaking directly to him. The message, more than ever, is that the Trumpian concept of a “witch hunt” is real, and that not merely are Cohen’s and Manafort’s misdeeds unrelated to the Russia saga, but that they barely count at all. That Hannity went so far as to concede, on-air, that Cohen and Manafort had done things wrong (even as he said they shouldn’t face real consequences for them) felt startling — the host rarely cedes ground — but he went on to cite various Democrats who ought to have been prosecuted for their misdeeds. Mark Levin, a Hannity guest, argued that the charges against Cohen weren’t just insignificant but meaningless: “You know what took place in the Southern District of New York? Nothing that matters. Zip-o. There was no violation of federal campaign laws.”
Hannity closed out his broadcast examining the sad story of an Iowa college student allegedly murdered by an undocumented immigrant — a tragic tale that’s already been weaponized by the right to justify anti-immigration measures — before declaring that America needed to do “some soul-searching,” because Cohen and Manafort were being unduly dragged through the legal process: “If Russian collusion becomes taxi medallions and tax fraud, if we ignore real Russian collusion, we’re going to lose the country.”
Fox News exists at the opposite end of the spectrum from MSNBC, a network that sometimes seems to be constructing a “Homeland”-style web of corruption, extending from the White House to Russia. But just because some parts of the narrative feel overworked doesn’t mean the whole story is ludicrous. If nothing else, two close associates of the President facing such extreme legal consequences on a single day suggests that a lawless atmosphere thrives in the White House, a reality that Fox News is contorting itself more and more to avoid acknowledging.
But having staked out ground as the defender of Trump early on — having committed to flattering and cajoling him even after his infamous insult to then-Fox News star Megyn Kelly — Fox News, with its evening lineup of opinion shows, has little room to maneuver. It’s not hard to imagine a situation in which the walls close in on Trump, and in which his last friend on the TV dial denies it’s happening at all.

Criticize me if you wish but after Trump you will be looking back at when he was in office as the good old days.
I doubt it....most still predict that we will have a recession next summer when all of his policies take effect
even now things are not all what Trump portrays them to be
Criticize me if you wish but after Trump you will be looking back at when he was in office as the good old days.
LOL I'm voting against them until they de-swamp their de-swamped-swamp. And that's from someone who voted for Bush, Dole.
Trump is doing what he can to help America. Last time I checked the US debt clock at (https://www.nationaldebtclocks.org/debtclock/unitedstates) your nation owes just over $21 trillion dollars as of when I am composing this response. China holds at least $1 Trillion of that debt (https://www.theguardian.com/busines...a-billion-dollars-problem-beijing-trump-knows). The ongoing strife Trump has with China could very well make sure China play ball fairly with America. Not just for the jobs and industry that China "acquired" over the years, but also something even that could be even more crippling.
Ever hear how oil is always sold in American dollars? China wants to end that and trade oil in Chinese yuan and turn it into a petrocurrency. (https://www.quora.com/What-will-happen-to-the-US-dollar-if-China-starts-buying-oil-in-yuan) Once this happens they would ideally want to end the US dollar being the reserve currency. And then the "$@#t" would eventually fly whereby more of the US budget would be diverted to pay off the Chinese portion of the US debt as China might then demand full payment of their $1 trillion dollar portion of your $21 trillion debt.
Like it or lump it when you are in the belief Trump is a zero, he is actually your hero. But seeing you want to deny him of any success feel free to pass around a hat to pay off China courtesy of @subhub174014, @MacNfries, @bigblackbull76, @DaphneD, other multi-millionaire critics of Trump you could conscript to the cause and eliminate Trump from having any effect with that and state this is the money is from the Trump-hater's alliance maybe? But it might be even easier if you started off with Soros and a few Bilderberger's pocket change? As that would be enough.
Undoubtedly there will be those that will scoff at what I have said and the Chinese will love that because this is what they are thinking down the road....
