“They have a new ad they put out after you said you thought you were going to win the majority, the title is, ‘All at Stake,’ it said, you would like to institute a single-payer health care program and cancel — raises taxes, I think they mean, roll back the tax cuts they passed this year,” Sherman asked.
“Well, the second part is accurate,” Pelosi said.

She should have said "we're actually going to cut taxes even more for the middle and working classes, and we're going to close corporate tax loopholes and make sure the rich are paying their fair share to make up for it. And we're going to give our veterans even better medical care and transitional programs to end veteran homelessness forever" and the GOP would be dead in the water in 2018 and 2020.

Might be a sign of Trump being able to corral his voters and really lord it up over the base now even against their grassroots direction, a kind of discipline that democrats- the voters at least- dont share. But that might be reading too into Blankenship, because I cant find any polling before/after. Cant really tell if he was just doomed from the start. I mean, Roy Moore would definitely have lost his primary if people had known in advance about his crimes, and killing 29 coal miners is worth something if not up there with being a molester

this is an interesting read in retrospect
http://observer.com/2014/02/the-politics-and-power-of-a-g-schneiderman/

keep in mind that the entire thing is pretty obviously ghostwritten by the trump family so its just one point of view. But its interesting to read the 2014 trump-schneiderman feud. Its a time capsule of michael cohen and schneiderman slapling each other

Guess Trump won in the end

Donald Trump has suggested he could “take away credentials” of media organisations over negative stories about him.

“The Fake News is working overtime.” the US president tweeted. ”Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake).

“Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?"


The butthurt is really working it's way in. Maybe this is why he's buddying up with Kim :rofl:

I can't even make this shit up:

The 'guy with the same name as Michael Cohen' struck for a third fucking time
first this;

Government source confirms different Michael Cohen was in Prague

then the apparent repeat of it in mcclatchy;
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article208870264.html
and now again, Avenatti was using leaked suspicious transaction reports (leak now being investigated by treasury's OIG) and the leaker slipped in some false reports from another guy named Michael Cohen.
granted, some of the other transactions were the right michael cohen, but some of them werent:

Quote
Avenatti’s report includes a section listing “possible fraudulent and illegal financial transactions” involving Trump’s lawyer. One of the payments is a $4,250 wire transfer from a Malaysian company called Actuarial Partners to a bank in Toronto.
The other is a $980 transfer from a Kenyan bank to Bank Hapoalim, the largest bank in Israel.

Zainal Kassim, a representative for Actuarial Partners, tells The Daily Caller News Foundation that Avenatti’s report is a case of mistaken identity. He forwarded an email that the falsely accused Michael Cohen sent to Avenatti requesting that the lawyer “correct this error forthwith and make it known publicly” that there is no connection to Trump’s Michael Cohen. “You are surely aware of the fact that this is an extremely common name and would request that you take care before involving innocent parries in this sordid affair,” wrote Cohen, who told Avenatti that he is an international consultant who was paid by Actuarial Partners for work on a project in Tanzania. “Actuarial Partners have already received inquiries from the press in this regard and we would like to see this scurrilous rumour spiked as soon as possible.”

Haaretz, the Israeli news outlet, found another case of mistaken identity in Avenatti’s report. “Mr. Cohen received one wire transfer in the amount of $980.00 from a Kenyan bank from account holders Netanel Cohen and Stav Hayun to an account in Israel at Bank Hapoalim,” Avenatti wrote. Haaretz caught up with Netanel Cohen, who acknowledged having a bank account in Kenya and transferring money to a Michael Cohen. But the Michael Cohen in questions is his brother, Netanel told the news outlet. And his brother is not Trump’s lawyer. “I’ve never heard of Michael Cohen, and I have no connection to this affair,” Netanel told Haaretz.


This is what happens when fucking clowns are running around conducting illegal electronic surveillance.
