Trump really, really is clueless.
QuotePresident Trump phoned his longtime confidant, Michael D. Cohen, to “check in” on Friday as lawyers for the two men went to court to block the Justice Department from reading seized documents related to Mr. Cohen’s decade of work for Mr. Trump, according to two people familiar with the call.
It is not clear what else they discussed in a call that came days after a series of F.B.I. raids. Depending on what was said, the call could be problematic for both men, as defense lawyers often advise their clients not to talk to each other during investigations. Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen still were trying to determine what exactly was seized.
The raids were even broader than have been previously reported. Prosecutors said the raids were part of a monthslong investigation into Mr. Cohen. In addition to searching Mr. Cohen’s office and hotel room, prosecutors also obtained warrants to seize material from his cellphones, tablet, laptop and a safe deposit box, according to people briefed on the warrants.

Holy fucking shit. Cohen filed to suppress the search warrant. This is the Govt response.

Lulz.
Cohen wants everything seized handed back to his attorneys first to let them determine what is admissible and what is not.
Also of interest:
QuoteFourth, the USAO-SDNY has specific reason to doubt that the seized materials will include the volume and nature of attorney-client communications that Cohen claims. This is Case 1:18-mj-03161-KMW Document 1 Filed 04/13/18 Page 13 of 23 13 because the USAO-SDNY has already obtained search warrants – covert until this point – on multiple different email accounts maintained by Cohen, and has conducted a privilege review of the materials obtained pursuant to those warrants. The results of that review, as resported by the USAO’s Filter Team, indicate that Cohen is in fact performing little to no legal work, and that zero emails were exchanged with President Trump.

lol he pardoned Scooter
On the day the president called Comey a liar and a leaker, he pardons someone who did those exact things and was convicted.

QuoteAny pardon of Scooter Libby is a message sent to Trump aides who've pleaded guilty, are facing charges, or may soon face charges in the Russia probe or a related probe that Trump will pardon them if they're convicted. And it's a message to pro-Trump witnesses that they can lie.

Trumpy gonna get all that postal service finances under control:
QuotePresident Trump issued an executive order on Thursday, designating a task force for the U.S. Postal Service "to evaluate the operations and finances of the USPS," chaired by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
The big picture: This isn't the first time Trump has spoken out about USPS — earlier this month he tweeted that he was "right about Amazon costing the United States Post Office massive amounts of money." While he didn't mention Amazon in the order, Axios' Jonathan Swan reported last month that Trump tells people Amazon has gotten a free ride from taxpayers and cushy treatment from the U.S. Postal Service

I'm imagining the possibility of secretly taped conversations helping to lead to the removal of two President's in my lifetime.

If you think your week was bad, a bunch of kids are about to find out Trump is their father on the news.
Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr. are probably already pissed that they have to cut the pie up to include Barron and Tiffany. Now, there's the potential that their slices of whatever is leftover are smaller.

Never.
Oh, Trump & Co. will be out of office....but there will still be a hardcore 30% who will still be defending all of it. And like others have stated, the next generation of GOP'ers will be just as deranged, hardcore, whatever adjective you wish to describe.

Good. Glad he pulled his head out of his ass once.
Assumption here is he pulled it out himself. Probably some staffer used a powerpoint and/or puppets to explain to him that belonging to TPP was better for his "trade war" than not being in TPP.

So If DOTUS fires Rosenstein in an effort to squelch the investigation, will he be able to find a willing dupe who will take a loyalty oath to tamp the investigation down and file it way in some warehouse?
Oh yeah. He'll find a red-state pure blood true Trump MAGA US Attorney somewhere who will do whatever is necessary to get into his good graces.

Quote
One of the President's congressional defenders has privately decided he hates Trump and wants to unload.
"If we're going to lose because of him, we might as well impeach the motherf**ker," said the congressman as we roamed the aisles of a Safeway grocery store together. I haven't been in a Safeway since my family moved home from Dubai in 1990. The congressman did not want to be seen with me on Capitol Hill. He needed to get some stuff anyway and decided he'd let me walk with him through the cereal and dairy selections at the Safeway near my hotel. He is not happy with President Trump. He was never a die hard Trump supporter. He supported him in the general and never expected him to win. But he did. So the congressman, whose district Trump won, has been a regular supporter on Fox News and elsewhere defending the President. He is happy to be quoted, so long as I don't name him. He says he just needs to vent. I suggest what we're doing is one of the reason's Trump won -- a congressman says nice things in public and bad things in private.
"Everybody does this sh*t," he says. It's his turn. We have known each other for years and have been promising to connect this week while I'm passing through DC. So this is it. I'm passing along his comments, not endorsing them.
Quote"I read you writing about this, about wanting to say nice things when you can and criticize when you need to. He may be an idiot, but he's still the President and leader of my party and he is capable of doing some things right," he says before conceding it's usually other people doing the right things in the President's name. "But dammit he's taking us all down with him. We are well and truly f**ked in November. Kevin [McCarthy] is already circling like a green fly circling sh*t trying to take Paul's [Ryan] job because nobody thinks he's sticking around for Nancy [Pelosi]. She's going to f**k up the cafeteria again too. [Lord's name in vain], at least I'll probably lose too and won't have to put up with that sh*t." He won't lose. His district is very Republican.
What's the problem, though? Well, get ready…
"It's like Forrest Gump won the presidency, but an evil, really f*cking stupid Forrest Gump. He can't help himself. He's just a f**king idiot who thinks he's winning when people are b*tching about him. He really does see the world as ratings and attention. I hate Forrest Gump. I listen to your podcast and heard you hate it too. What an overrated piece of sh*t movie. Can you believe it beat the Shawshank Redemption?"
We deviated to Stephen Speilberg for a moment and I had to remind him Robert Zemeckis, not Speilberg, directed it. Then I had to point out his taste in coffee sucks and suggested better. Moving right along…
"Judiciary is stacked with a bunch of people who can win re-election so long as they don't piss off Trump voters in the primary. But if we get to summer and most of the primaries are over, they just might pull the trigger if the President fires Mueller. The sh*t will hit the fan if that happens and I'd vote to impeach him myself. Most of us would, I think. Hell, all the Democrats would and you only need a majority in the House. If we're going to lose because of him, we might as well impeach the motherf**ker. Take him out with us and let Mike [Pence] take over. At least then we could sleep well at night," he said before going off on a tangent about how the situations with Russia and China scare him. Then, "You know having Mike as President would really piss off all the right people, too. They think they hate Trump. Mike is competent," at which point he sighs and laments that there were, in his mind, more than a dozen competent choices in 2016.
So the implication is they wouldn't vote for impeachment if they might be opposed in primaries, I asked. He confirmed he does not think the votes are there to impeach the President if any of the Judiciary Committee members are facing primary opponents. But get through that and, if Mueller is fired, he thinks so and thinks a majority of the House would vote to impeach President Trump.
"I say a lot of shit on TV defending him, even over this. But honestly, I wish the motherf*cker would just go away. We're going to lose the House, lose the Senate, and lose a bunch of states because of him. All his supporters will blame us for what we have or have not done, but he hasn't led. He wakes up in the morning, sh*ts all over Twitter, sh*ts all over us, sh*ts all over his staff, then hits golf balls. F*ck him. Of course, I can't say that in public or I'd get run out of town."
The congressman's base loves the President. And we're done. He feels better having let it all out. It was a funny conversation with a few additional remarks about the President's personal life I dare not print.
And yes, I agree, it is bad form to say all this in private while publicly praising the President. Welcome to Donald Trump's Washington. Everybody does this sh*t here.
