Michael Cohen House Testimony
Cohen has loads of documents, but none appear to show evidence of collusion.
Posted by Mary Chastain Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 10:22am 161 Comments
President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen has started his testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee.
Reports have shown that Cohen will show lawmakers documents that include "a check signed by the president as part of his reimbursement for the $130,000 Stormy Daniels payment — Mr. Cohen had paid the porn star from his home-equity line of credit — and financial statements intended to demonstrate how Mr. Trump manipulated his net worth for business and personal purposes, including to reduce his tax liability."
However, his prepared remarks show he saw no direct evidence of collusion.
Rep. Tlaib Accuses Rep. Meadows for Using Lynne Patton as a Prop
Good Lord. Earlier when Cohen said Trump is a racist, Meadows brought up Lynne Patton, who worked for Trump, because she said she has not heard or seen any racist behavior from Trump.
Rep. Taliab accused Meadows of using her as a prop.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI): "Just because someone has a person of color, a black person, working for them does not mean they aren't racist and…the fact someone would actually use a prop, a black woman in this chamber, in this committee, is alone racist in itself." pic.twitter.com/k0ysrj5cKm

BIG Fireworks as Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, accuses Rep. Mark Meadows of using Lynne Patton as a "prop." Meadows is fired up and says that he brought Patton because she was a friend who wanted to challenge Cohen.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib stressing that she was not calling Meadows a "racist" as Rep. Cummings explains that he and Meadows are very good friends and Meadows explains that he had family members of color.
Rep. Kelly Asked About Process to Pay Stormy
Cohen is asked why he used a complicated process to make the payment to Stormy Daniels.
"The reason I used the home equity line of credit is because I did not want my wife to know about it," Cohen said.
"Did Mr. Trump know you were going through this process to hide the payment?" Kelly asked.
"Yes," Cohen replied.
Cohen said the goal was to keep Trump as far away from the payments as possible.
Keith Davidson, Trump and Allen Weisselberg would know about it, Cohen said.
Kelly asked what was the purpose of growing the amount.
"When you live in New York where you have a 50 percent tax bracket then I would be out $60,000," Cohen said.
He said he would have preferred getting the money in one shot but Weisselberg made the decision that it should be paid over the 11 months to look like a retainer. Cohen said Trump was aware of the payments.

Prague Comes Up
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) asked Cohen if he went to Prague. Cohen said that he has never been to Prague or Czech Republic.
The Christopher Steele dossier claimed that Cohen went to Prague to meet with Russians in 2016.

Finally, someone asked Cohen if he ever went to Prague. He said no. Unless that's a lie, mark another strike against the dossier, which the Obama Administration amazingly took seriously.

Revelation on the Southern District of New York Investigation
From WSJ:
Under questioning by Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D., Ill.), Michael Cohen testified that his last communication with Mr. Trump or one of his representatives was within two months after the FBI in New York raided his home, office and hotel room in April 2018.
Rep. Krishnamoorthi asked Mr. Cohen what they discussed. Mr. Cohen said he was unable to answer because it's a topic under investigation by the Southern District of New York. "I've been asked by them not to discuss and talk about these issues," Mr. Cohen said.
We're not sure what this means exactly, but it's certainly an interesting revelation. We know that the Southern District's investigation into Trump Organization is continuing, and Mr. Cohen testified earlier in the hearing that he is still in constant contact with the Southern District about ongoing investigations.
.@congressmanraja: "Is there any other wrongdoing or illegal act that you are aware of regarding Donald Trump that we haven't yet discussed today?"
Michael Cohen: "Yes…those are part of the investigation that's currently being looked at by the Southern District of New York." pic.twitter.com/21ZQot9mZF

"Catch & kill" With National Enquirer
From The Wall Street Journal:
Michael Cohen brought up "catch and kill scenarios" he carried out for Donald Trump. "Catch and kill" is the practice in the tabloid world of paying for a story, but not publishing it.
Mr. Cohen testified that David Pecker, the chief executive of the National Enquirer's publisher, has had a long history of doing catch-and-kills for Mr. Trump. Mr. Pecker and Mr. Trump are longtime friends, with a relationship dating back to the 1990s when Mr. Pecker's former employer put out a quarterly magazine for guests at Trump properties.
Mr. Pecker's company, American Media LLC, made one of the hush-money payments before the 2016 election on behalf of the Trump campaign. Mr. Pecker told prosecutors about Mr. Trump's involvement in the payment scheme and received immunity for testifying before a grand jury, the Journal has previously reported .
American Media wasn't criminally charged for making the payment. The company cooperated with prosecutors and received a non-prosecution agreement instead.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) asked Cohen if Pecker did this for others and Cohen said yes.
Rep. Connolly Asks About Meeting With Trump Before House Intel Committee Testimony
Connolly wanted to know what Trump told Cohen when they met before his House Intel Committee testimony. Cohen confirmed that Trump only told him to cooperate. Of course, he tried to make Trump look guilty by insisting that he "knew exactly what he wanted me to say."
Rep. @GerryConnolly: You had a conversation with the president of the U.S. about your impending testimony before the House Intel Committee. Is that correct?
Cohen: That's correct.
Connolly: What was the nature of the conversation?
Cohen: He wanted me to cooperate. pic.twitter.com/qHZ7ZHh5TH

Cohen Won't Rule Out Book, Movie Deals
Rep. Virginia Foxx asked Cohen if he would rule out movie or book deals:
As the hearing resumed, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R., N.C.), pressed Mr. Cohen to promise under oath not to make money based on his experiences with Donald Trump through a book or a movie deal. Mr. Cohen declined her invitation.
She also asked him if he would promise not to run for political office, as he has previously done unsuccessfully in New York, or work as a television commentator.
"I will not do that, no," answered Mr. Cohen, who has said he's been approached about movie and television projects.
"So you don't commit to changing your ways, basically, because you want to continue to use your background as a liar, a cheater, a convicted liar, to make money?" Ms. Foxx asked.
"And that's going to get me a book deal and a movie deal and a spot on television?" Mr. Cohen said. "I don't think so."
Rep. Virginia Foxx asks Michael Cohen if he will commit to not pursuing a book or movie deal once he is out of prison.
He declined to do so. pic.twitter.com/yvTBwNwG91

Trump Didn't Think He'd Win So Why Collude?
The Daily Wire's Emily Zanotti Skyles has an excellent point:
I totally believe Trump never intended to win the presidency. Totally. I don't even know if he wanted to. But if Cohen contends that, he cannot also contend that Trump was so desperate to win that he colluded with Russia.
— Emily Zanotti (@emzanotti) February 27, 2019
Exactly. If he didn't think he would win the primary or general or even wanted to, why would he collude with Russia?
Jordan Questions Cohen's Credibility
Rep. Jordan got Cohen to admit that he wanted to work in the White House:
"Here's what I see. I see a guy who worked for 10 years and is here trashing the guy he worked for for 10 years, didn't get a job in the White House, and now, now you're behaving just like everyone else who got fired or didn't get the job they wanted like Andy McCabe, like James Comey, same kind of selfish motivation after you don't get the thing you want. That's what I see here today and I think that's what the American people see."
He also reminded the committee that Cohen has lied consistently in the past and had his own financial problems, similar to those that he has said Trump has done.
Rep Jim Jordan: "You wanted to work in the White House but you didn't get brought to the dance"

Cohen Suggests Trump Family Compromised During Election
Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz asked Cohen if the Trump family was "conflicted or compromised with a foreign adversary in the months before the election." From CNN:
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Florida, asked if the President's son, daughter and son-in-law were involved in the Trump Tower Moscow project.
"Was Ivanka, Jared or Don Jr. still involved in the Russian tower deal at that time?" she asked.
"The company was involved in the deal, which meant that the family was involved in the deal," Cohen said.
Wasserman Schultz followed up: "If Mr. Trump and his daughter Ivanka and son Donald Jr. are involved in the Russian Trump tower deal, is it possible the whole family is conflicted or compromised with a foreign adversary in the months before the election?"
"Yes," Cohen said.

Michael Cohen Opening Statement

— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) February 27, 2019
CNBC has Cohen's opening remarks. Here is a snippet:
Never in a million years did I imagine, when I accepted a job in 2007 to work for Donald Trump, that he would one day run for President, launch a campaign on a platform of hate and intolerance, and actually win. I regret the day I said "yes" to Mr. Trump. I regret all the help and support I gave him along the way.
I am ashamed of my own failings, and I publicly accepted responsibility for them by pleading guilty in the Southern District of New York.
I am ashamed of my weakness and misplaced loyalty – of the things I did for Mr. Trump in an effort to protect and promote him.
I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump's illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience. I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is.
He is a racist.
He is a conman.
He is a cheat.
He was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National Committee emails.

Jim Jordan Wanted to Delay Hearing
Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), took his turn at the microphone for an opening statement in which he castigated Democrats on the committee for bringing Mr. Cohen in to testify.
"Certainly it's the first time a convicted perjurer has been brought back to be a star witness in a hearing," Mr. Jordan said.
He accused the Democrats of encouraging Mr. Cohen to violate attorney-client privilege and complained that they can't ask questions about ongoing investigations. "The only things we can talk about are things you think are going to be harmful to the president of the United States," Mr. Jordan said.
"They just want to use you Mr. Cohen, you're their patsy today."
Mr. Cohen has been sworn in and has begun his remarks.
Cummings Opening Statement
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) in his opening statement acknowledged that Michael Cohen's past lies and guilty pleas create credibility problems. But in light of his "deeply disturbing" allegations about President Trump relating to WikiLeaks and the hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels, Mr. Cummings said, Americans "can make their own judgments." He cited the documents "and other corroborating evidence" Mr. Cohen has supplied to the committee.
"The president made many statements of his own, and now the American people have a right to hear the other side," he said.
"Some will certainly ask if Mr. Cohen was lying then, why should we believe him now?" Rep. Cummings said. "This is a legit question. Every one of us in this room has a duty to serve as an independent check on the executive branch." https://t.co/4McXejykRV pic.twitter.com/WHbjiIwiH7

Cohen's open hearing testimony is limited by the Special Counsel's office on Russian collusion because of the ongoing investigation. Some of those matters will be the subject of a closed hearing on Thursday.

Concise: Define the crime of "Collusion" for me.
Keep in mind, though, that impeachment doesn't necessarily require a violation of statute, nor is such a violation necessarily sufficient, but requires a finding of high crimes and misdemeanors.
Uh…That's a big no I guess because that's the statute defining a criminal conspiracy. I know the words both begin with a "c" so maybe that's the source of your confusion.

Concise: Uh…That's a big no I guess because that's the statute defining a criminal conspiracy.
Criminal conspiracies are a subset of collusion. Impeachment does not depend on a violation of statute. A violation of the oath of office may be sufficient.
Concise in reply to Concise. | February 27, 2019 at 12:18 pm
No criminal conspiracies are a crime. The use of "collusion" on your part is simply an attempt to further a political narrative. Special Counsels should investigate real crimes, not political fantasies.

Because collusion with a foreign power may be a violation of the oath of office, even if a criminal conspiracy is never charged.

True enough, but if Trump had colluded with the Russians during the campaign, it could still lead to impeachment, though in that case, it might constitute a criminal conspiracy against the United States. Nonetheless, the standards of impeachment are different than the standards for criminal law.
And just when I needed some ignorance and politics to prove my points, it appears in the above comment.

Cohen was Trump's personal attorney. He wasn't an order taker. His job was to protect the president. It is probably safe to assume that whatever Trump did that Cohen is testifying was a crime, it was on the advice of Cohen himself. Hence his being forever known as "The Rat".

garybritt in reply to Zachriel. | February 27, 2019 at 11:34 am
Its not a conspiracy if the lawyer indicates affirmatively or through omission that anything is illegal. Paying a mistress, if that happened, not to talk is NOT A CRIME. Even if the turds at SDNY say it is. The SDNY position is that to avoid the crime they claim happened the President would have had to pay with CAMPAIGN FUNDS. SDNY is basically claiming the payments were campaign expenditures and were illegal because the President used non-campaign funds to make these payments. That is so silly and unprecedented that no thinking person who isn't blinded by partisanship could buy it.
Maybe you really mean the high crime of collusion?

or the even worse crime of conspiracy?
Zachriel in reply to Zachriel. | February 27, 2019 at 11:56 am
garybritt: Its not a conspiracy if the lawyer indicates affirmatively or through omission that anything is illegal.
That is not necessarily the case. If both parties know it is illegal, but don't discuss it in those terms, it's still a criminal conspiracy.
garybritt: The SDNY position is that to avoid the crime they claim happened the President would have had to pay with CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
No. That would also be illegal. If Trump had paid her out of her own funds years before the election, it would have been legal. But only acting days before the election with the purpose of aiding his campaign, there's no way to clean it up.
It's sort of like Al Capone. He was busted for tax evasion. So you might argue, he should have put extortion and bootlegging on this tax return with expenses for murder. That would absolve him of his tax problems.
It's sort of like Al Capone.
Hogwash. Capone was convicted of a crime. Not one of his bigger crimes, but one of his crimes nonetheless.
Since paying off an extortionist isn't a crime at any time, any parallel to DJT isn't even an act of desperation, it's an absurdity.
Zachriel in reply to Zachriel. | February 27, 2019 at 12:34 pm
tom_swift: Since paying off an extortionist isn't a crime at any time
Actually, yes, paying off an extortionist can be a crime. In this case, the evidence is that Trump was paying her off to influence the election.
garybritt in reply to Zachriel. | February 27, 2019 at 12:55 pm
Zachriel, you are LYING (or ignorant if not lying). I think lying personally.
Its NOTHING like Al Capoine.
SDNY contends it was an expenditure to influence the campaign (NEWS FLASH all campaign expenditures are intended to influence the campaign). Campaign expenditures to influence the campaign are perfectly LEGAL. SDNY contends the hush payments were to influence the campaign (i.e., were campaign expenditures), but were illegal because they were not paid with campaign funds. The reason for being illegal would be that it is a campaign expenditure that was hidden from FEC reporting requirements. So as I said the SDNY is contending that hush money payments made from CAMPAIGN FUNDS would be legal but if paid not from campaign funds but from personal funds would be illegal.
Just as another aside, these payments would not be reportable to the FEC until AFTER THE ELECTION because of when they were paid, SO FAILURE TO REPORT THEM IF THAT OCCURRED WOULD BE NO EFFECT ON THE ELECTION.
So bottom line is as I stated and which you continue to lie about. SDNY contends these payments would be legal if paid with campaign funds instead of personal funds, and the nature of the illegality would be hiding the payments from an FEC report that wasn't due until AFTER THE ELECTION. Again the SDNY position is so ridiculous that only a shill like you could buy it.
tom_swift in reply to Zachriel. | February 27, 2019 at 1:13 pm
the evidence is that Trump was paying her off to influence the election.
Every campaign is an attempt to influence an election. Speeches, tailored suits, baby-kissing marathons, returning campaign funds from shady sources . . . all are attempts to influence elections. And there's nothing illegal or even unethical about any of it.
Zachriel in reply to Zachriel. | February 27, 2019 at 2:25 pm
garybritt: Campaign expenditures to influence the campaign are perfectly LEGAL.
Not all expenditures from campaign funds are legal. Are you saying that the campaign can pay off mistresses? Like Al Capone's taxes, there's no good answer.
Gangster, in cuffs: Where did I go wrong?
Detective: When you became a gangster.
garybritt in reply to Zachriel. | February 27, 2019 at 2:55 pm
The SDNY is saying that paying off a mistress from campaign funds is LEGAL. They say that when they claim that paying off a mistress from personal funds is a campaign expenditure that is illegal if NOT paid from campaign funds. You keep ignoring that the claimed illegal act is making a campaign expenditure that being from personal funds is not reportable to the FEC. If it was made from campaign funds it would be reported to the FEC. In this case however the report wouldn't be filed until AFTER the election. So no effect on the election EITHER WAY.
Obama and Hillary made lots of mistakes on their reporting. In their cases like all politicians they just file corrected forms after the fact and possibly pay a fine to the FEC. Its never treated as a criminal anything unless the candidate in question is Trump.
Are you contending that paying a mistress is illegal if paid by personal funds AND ALSO illegal if paid from campaign funds? Is it your contention that paying mistress in any form is illegal ?? Do you have any statutory or case law support for such a position that payments to mistresses no matter how paid are illegal?
And don't say because it was to influence an election. Making a payment to influence an election is NOT illegal. It is making a payment that violates either the donation limits or evades reporting to FEC that can be illegal. Making a payment to influence an election is NOT in itself illegal. That's the part you choose not to understand.
garybritt: The SDNY is saying that paying off a mistress from campaign funds is LEGAL.
They did? Where did they say that?
garybritt: In their cases like all politicians they just file corrected forms after the fact and possibly pay a fine to the FEC.
Fines are for inadvertent errors. If it was purposeful, then it is criminal.

As has been pointed out by Alan Dershowitz that he cannot talk about anything that Mueller has not made public and is a possible indictable offense. So basically he is going to just try to smear Trump as much as he can with lies and innuendoes. If anyone on this planet thought Trump was an upstanding guy before they pulled the lever for him I would like to meet him. We all knew what he was/is but the alternative was much worse. As it turns out no one will care what Cohen says because Trump is actually doing a pretty good job compared to GWB and obama.
garybritt in reply to inspectorudy. | February 27, 2019 at 11:30 am
I thought President Trump was an upstanding guy before the election, and I think that even more since his election. No President, even Clinton, has been the subject of more detailed investigations and still they have NOTHING. Only an upstanding guy with a very strong will and a personality that refuses to lose could survive what has been thrown at Trump. The "insurance policy" traitors thought he would throw in the towel long before now.
While Clinton had the Starr investigation he, unlike trump, had the media actively covering up for him. With President Trump he has not just a special counsel but the media seeking to destroy his presidency and him personally.
Thank God that President Trump is such a fighter and strong willed winner. A more upstanding guy we have not had since Reagan !!!!!!!!

I thought President Trump was an upstanding guy before the election
I always thought so. Of course I've always been glad he didn't live next door to me, as he's a bit noisy, but that's no great crime. And it's not the same as thinking that he'd be good presidential material; that wasn't apparent until the campaign got moving. But since then I've been surprised that Mueller has turned up nothing of any consequence. I didn't realize DJT was that upstanding.

Question for the lawyers: I thought my lawyer could not be called to give evidence against me. I thought all of that was covered by lawyer-client privilege, legal ethics, etc.
Was I wrong? How can they have Trump's personal lawyer testify about everything he did for Trump and everything they talked about?
garybritt in reply to OldProf2. | February 27, 2019 at 11:24 am
The thing that keeps a lawyer from revealing lawyer-client privileged material is the fact that doing so could get the lawyer disbarred and sued for damages. In this case Cohen is already a disbarred felon so no threat to him on that count. President Trump could sue to enforce the privilege and prevent his testimony on many things, but the press and democrats would howl that he is trying to hide something really bad. So President Trump is in a no win situation on this. The President could still sue Cohen for damages in the next couple of years, but unlikely to so do.
Ragspierre in reply to OldProf2. | February 27, 2019 at 11:29 am
Two answers…
1. there is no attorney/client privilege when the attorney and client are adversaries, as when an attorney has to sue a client for fees or when a client lodges a complaint against an attorney
2. there is no attorney/client privilege to commit or conspire to commit any crime and certain torts

As a practicing attorney I gave a totally politically neutral answer to a legal question on a conservative legal blog.
For this I was called names by idiots. Quite a commentary…
Your response was politically neutral. Too bad it was completely irrelevant to the questions to which you attempted to respond. President Trump and Cohen are not adversaries in a court proceeding. So answer # 1 is totally useless, and answer #2 omits that it is NOT the lawyer who can decide years after the fact that there was a criminal conspiracy on something and then start ignoring privilege for the lawyer's own benefit.
I'd say that if you are a practicing lawyer, you need more practice !!
georgfelis in reply to Ragspierre. | February 27, 2019 at 1:49 pm
"1. there is no attorney/client privilege when the attorney and client are adversaries,…"
Incorrect and correct, in my limited knowledge of the law. If a client employs an attorney for a period of time, then at some point they become adversaries, AC privilege applies to all LEGAL communications and interactions up until the point where their relationship changes. Any attorney who attempts to use privileged communications against their former employer in court should expect a blistering response from the judge.
(This of course does not apply if the attorney is acting in a criminal conspiracy with his employer, which in this case is something the SDNY is trying to claim without much substance)

OldProf2: I thought my lawyer could not be called to give evidence against me. I thought all of that was covered by lawyer-client privilege, legal ethics, etc.
There are a number of exceptions to attorney-client privilege, including where the attorney is party to a crime or fraud, when the attorney knows his client is committing or suborning perjury, destroying or concealing evidence, or if the communication is made in the presence of third parties.
Don't forget the exception for lying for the benefit of the democratic sludge conducting an "oversight" hearing to distract from the efforts of the President to de-denuclearize the Korean peninsula and score cheap political points in general.
Concise: Don't forget the exception for lying for the benefit of the democratic sludge conducting an "oversight" hearing
There is no such exception. With regards to Cohen, the Special Counsel will know if Cohen lies, who has no reason to lie at this point.

"With regards to Cohen, the Special Counsel will know if Cohen lies, who has no reason to lie at this point."
Incorrect. The SC will know if Cohen says something the SC doesn't approve of, and can punish him with more charges or longer jail sentences if the SC wishes, therefore making Cohen have a very good reason to only say that which the SC wants him to say.
Truth has very little to do with it.

JBourque | February 27, 2019 at 12:43 pm
Let me briefly go back to the beginning of everything.
1) The U.S.A. is not at war with Russia.
2) Political collusion is not a crime, it is the very basis of parliamentary democracy.
3) Campaign finance laws prohibit money from entering political campaigns from "foreign" sources. There is nothing about information… let alone against benefiting from information volunteered to the free press.
4) American politics is deluged on a Biblical scale with support for political candidates that is not, technically, on paper, "support for" political candidates but "issue advocacy". None of this is a crime or even a misdemeanor, no matter how many people argue it should be.
And just generally, there is no law that criminalizes a conspiracy between metaphorical sunflowers that just happen to be facing the sun at the same time. Even in anti-trust law, collusion requires communication. Just breathing the same air and existing on the same planet are insufficient grounds.
Zachriel in reply to JBourque. | February 27, 2019 at 12:52 pm
JBourque: 1) The U.S.A. is not at war with Russia.
While there is no declaration of war, Russia has been engaging in a campaign of cyberwarfare against open democratic systems.
JBourque: 2) Political collusion is not a crime, it is the very basis of parliamentary democracy.
Colluding with a foreign government may be a conspiracy against the United States.
JBourque: 3) Campaign finance laws prohibit money from entering political campaigns from "foreign" sources. There is nothing about information…
Campaign finance laws prohibit "a thing of value", which would include forms of information that require investment to produce. That would include the fruits of cyberwarfare, or an army of foreign trolls infesting social media.
JBourque: 4) American politics is deluged on a Biblical scale with support for political candidates that is not, technically, on paper, "support for" political candidates but "issue advocacy".
Americans have wide latitude to support their favored candidates and issues. Foreigners are prohibited from an active role in elections.
JBourque: Even in anti-trust law, collusion requires communication.
That's right. Just because Russia's and Trump's goals align doesn't necessitate a conspiracy. Someone may have their position of power, not because they collude, but because they happen to take positions that align with a hostile foreign power.
That's one aspect of Russia's cyberwarfare campaign to reverse engineer open societies. And when some Americans play interference for Russian interference for short-term political gain, it undermines democratic institutions.

"We have upcoming leaks in relation to Hillary Clinton, which are great. WikiLeaks actually has a very big year ahead," Assange said in the June 12 interview on British TV.

JBourque: If it is truly your belief that the Alien and Sedition Acts were the crowning achievement of American lawmaking
Huh? The laws at issue are modern campaign finance laws, which prohibit foreign expenditures on elections, and cyber security laws that prohibit hacking into computer networks. That includes Russian agents stealing DNC emails and polling data, and running troll farms out of Russian intelligence.
And if the Russians stole emails and did hacking
(no evidence of that which will stand up in court because FBI never inspected actual server and the hacking of Podesta's email was done because the idiot clicked on a spear phishing email (Stupid Hillary did this as well with her email server))
So if Russians broke law and stole emails and did hacking it is absolutely no crime for Trump or any one else to receive and publish those emails after the fact. Just like when New York Times published the stolen documents purloined by Daniel Ellsberg. They were stolen in violation of law and then turned over to others to publish.
In this case if Russians stole emails and did hacks and then turned over stuff to wikileaks and wikileaks and Trump and the rest of the world published the material IT IS NOT A CRIME !!

Something's bothering me about this whole farce. What is Cohen getting out of testifying in front of Congress? Mueller already has the convictions, so he's not getting any years off his sentence. He's vulnerable to any congressional nitwit who wants to charge him with perjury *again* from this exposure, which is only made more probable with every wild accusation he makes. So he has nothing to win and everything to lose. Why not just refuse to testify, as he has the right to do?
My theory is he has foolishly gone from singing to composing. The Dems want to impeach Trump on something, so he is trusting the Dems (And Mueller) to stick up for him, support him, and save him from spending the rest of his life behind concrete and steel. He's saying what they want to hear, and when he inevitably gets shafted again by them, he will have nowhere to turn, and his promised multimillion dollar book advance will evaporate the same way.

3. Cohen really liked working for a racist, cheating liar.
4. Cohen really didn't want a White House job, even though everyone, including CNN, remembers otherwise.
5. Cohen was coached by Schiff and Cummings before his testimony.

The bulls*t from Cohen and the DemocRATs got so deep, I had to mute it until the lunch recess. Fortunately, I have other means of entertainment to use to counter the bile.

Is it my imagination or did the democrats get completely punked by this Cohen testimony today? When the dust settles, there is far more to help Trump than to hurt him today.

Trump is not guilty of 'collusion.' (Actually, Hillary Clinton is.)
But the useful idiots of the left ARE guilty of delusion and conclusion.

Rags I'm sure you have more experience with bar complaints than i do but again you fail to recognize that citing bar complaints is irrelevant to the question to which you replied.
I never said anything about statute of limitations so again irrelevant. Go back to my reply and read it again but this time for comprehension.

Good day for President Trump.
Normal people recognize the truth, with the entire power of the federal government criminally arrayed against the president, and the power of the communist press almost entirely facilitating the criminal conspirators,
They cannot come up with a single crime. Nothing, Nada, Zip. Even Lavrentiy Baria is weeping.
Baria's comrades, Zach and "Ragspierre"* cry with him.

BUDDY HIKES: As people join our energetic hiking-for-exercise group, it's helpful to communicate how we are VERY different from other groups. I know this list seems like a LOT, but every single one of these guidelines has emerged from some issue or concern.
Our prime directive is exercise – that's why the Morning Hikers Buddy Hikes were formed. Secondarily, we love nature. That we can get great exercise – outside – and connect with our buddies is wonderful, but the social is an ancillary benefit of being outside exercising.
Chatter: Many people go into nature for the serenity. 4+ hours of competing conversations is not serene. We are a "small" group by design. Large groups of 16 to 20 can have 8 to 9 different, competing conversations. It can get loud, when some of us want to hear the birds, the frogs, the burbling water, even the wind in the groaning trees.
Consider this guideline: If you find you've been discussing the same topic for over 15 minutes consider that there are other hikers around you who are hearing your conversation. On one hike the subject of death came up. 2 hikers were talking loudly for over an hour about death and dying. While this can be an important topic, it was not an inclusive experience and – enough already. It was difficult to get far enough away from the voices to have the nature experience and catharsis that being on the trail brings.
Confirm: Trail head locations and start times can change due to weather or whim. We ask that you reply to the hike coordinator to let him/her know of your intention to join us.
RSVP: If it's a meet-up hike, keep your status current. Always check the hike listing the night before or morning of in case of changes. Changes can occur due to weather or whim.
Know your average hiking pace so if a hike is listed as 2.4 mph you know you are comfortable with that pace. 2.4 average means that we'll be pushing on flat and easy sections up to 3 mph to achieve the average.


A key takeaway from Mixpanel's iPhone and iOS data, collected over the trailing four years, is iPhone X's performance. Despite carrying a four-digit price tag, the flagship handset was able to capture a sizable chunk of the overall iPhone market, reaching a high of 12 percent in August.
This year also marks the first time that a Plus-sized iPhone outsold its smaller counterpart. The iPhone 8 Plus was able to capture 9.37 percent of the iPhone market at its peak compared to the iPhone 8, which maxed out at 7.89-percent. That could be partially attributed to the iPhone X stealing market share from each device, but some looking for a more affordable handset also seem to have been swayed by the iPhone SE.
Mixpanel guesses iPhone X's thousand-dollar price tag is making it easier for buyers to justify the cost of iPhone 8 Plus.
While not as astounding as the more than 33 percent share grabbed by iPhone 6 in 2015, the data suggests Apple's decision to trend towards higher pricing is proving fruitful for the device maker.
Comparatively, the most popular iPhone still in use is the iPhone 7 which claims ownership of 17.34 percent of the market.
Also of note is that older devices are still popular with users, with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s taking 10.57 percent and 13.01 percent of the market, respectively. That could be a good sign for Apple as these users look to upgrade as their devices age, but also shows the longevity of Apple's devices.
Looking at operating systems, Mixpanel claims Apple took 61.75 percent of the U.S. smartphone market in August, with Android picking up the remainder. Those numbers are at odds with nearly all other market research, which puts Google's OS on top in terms of overall users.
In line with consensus, however, Mixpanel finds Apple leading in operating system adoption, with 93.25 percent of users running a version of iOS 11 -- the latest publicly available version of iOS. Android lags behind with only 27.09 percent on Android 8 or newer.
The data comes a day before we head into Apple's "Gather Round" event where the latest batch of iPhones is set to be announced.
Apple is expected to launch three new handsets this year. Along with a refreshed iPhone X, a larger OLED model is anticipated to debut. Anchoring the lineup is a 6.1-inch LCD version rumored to be priced as a mid-tier offering.
The hits just keep coming for analysts and AI naysayers.
Very high percentage of users still using 6S,7,7 Plus.
Not a comment on the article, per se, but I just can't get over how so many people on so many comment forums will just not STFU about iPhone X price tag; STILL; to this day!
Nobody bitching and moaning about price of the high end model Mercedes. But the price tag of iPhone X is "the symbol of all that is wrong with the world".
Because too many people still think of the iPhone as just a "phone" when really it's a "Mac" in your pocket that can you give one 3 to 4 years of useful life.
Agreed. I went from a 6, finally ready to deal with a larger handset filling my pocket and I wanted to get as much screen real estate as possible. That was the 8+, the bonus being it comes in at a lower price that the X. But I'll trade it or give it away to replace with whichever iPhone has the biggest display this year.
Aren't the Plus phones a bit wider than the X? Maybe that's why they're still so popular.
Most normals don't expect to or wish to buy a new high end smartphone every year. They aren't designed for that either. They get better and better over time, rewarding people who upgrade after two or three years. And that's fine. If one has the interest and money, annual upgrades are fine too. But it's not a shortcoming for most folks not feeling the need to upgrade every single year.
iPhone 8 Plus is not only a bit wider but also faster than iPhone X.


Dave Pittman is taking his experience from season 9 of American Idol, his music, and his story to impact children, teenagers, college students and adults by sharing the message that if they implement a "CRAZY BRAVE" attitude and believe in themselves, they can accomplish anything they set their mind to and live out their dreams.
Dave has battled Tourette Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and is sharing the message of overcoming adversity with students.As a young boy, Dave was bullied, made fun of, and even physically beaten up because of tics caused by Tourette Syndrome to the point where he was prepared to take his own life. His parents helped him through the bullying. "When you learn to accept what you have and are comfortable with it, other kids will accept what you have," he recalls his mother telling him.
"It's important for them to understand and for them to see that you can be okay with who you are and be okay building that good character," Pittman said. "Good character is who you are when no one else is around."
Dave's entire career has been filled with travels throughout the United States and Canada speaking with thousands of people about how to cope with the extreme challenges of "bullying", performing his music, and promoting his CD. He impacts children, teenagers, college students and adults by sharing the message that if they implement a "crazy brave" attitude and believe in themselves, they can accomplish anything!

Waiting out the emotional storm
My client was having flying instructions a long time ago when instruments were pretty rudimentary, and the instructor was giving advice for what to do when you're in, or about to go into, a storm.
He told my client "If you get caught in a storm – never turn!"
My client asked why (since running away seemed like a very obvious thing to do).
"Because", said the instructor, "They never build storms in straight lines".
My client said a "blind went up" and he never forgot the advice. Of course, storms are not endless, as long as you stay the course, the storm will pass and you'll come out the other end – if you don't stay the course, you may end up flying in circles around and around in the storm, or get disorientated or lost.
When you're in an emotional storm, like the inexperienced pilot, you might panic, run around in circles, go off course and make hasty decisions. If you stay the course, keep going and wait for the storm to pass (which it always does), you'll be in much better shape.
Humans don't like emotional discomfort, whether its stress, anxiety, depression, anger, sadness or any other negative emotion, and when it's happening to us, our first instinct is to react. Often we rail against our feelings, getting angry and distressed. We can make things so much worse by panicking about our anxiety, getting depressed by our stress – and so the emotion we're trying to escape from is worsened and prolonged.
It seems counter-intuitive to our emotional brain to just wait and let the emotional storm pass.
In order to wait, we need to accept the discomfort of the feelings (remembering that acceptance doesn't mean approval – we don't have to like them). The feelings are uncomfortable, but not the end of the world. I often use the 'stubbed toe' analogy – that is if you stubbed your toe you'd accept it's going to take a while to get better – so why not apply the same patience to emotional discomfort.
Having accepted that we might be in for a rocky ride, we have patience and just ride it out. It will pass – it always does.
With patience and perseverance we wait out the emotional storm without exhausting ourselves by fighting it and "Distressing ourselves with imaginings"*.
Another useful analogy I often use is that of the wave. The emotional storm is like a wave that picks us up and dumps us on the beach. If we fight the wave, we exhaust ourselves and we're in danger of drowning. By going with the wave, we might end up a bit bruised, but in one piece and in fairly decent shape.
By letting the wave wash over us and through us and staying as calm as possible (with lots of deep breathing), when the wave goes away – there we will be. It passes, it always does.
So the skill is not just in allowing the emotional storm to pass, but in accepting the discomfort we feel while we're waiting. It may be pretty bad, but it won't last forever.
(The powerful phrase "This too shall pass' appeared in the works of ancient Sufi poets. Jewish folk tales attribute the phrase to King Solomon. The Buddha too, spoke of the passing of all things, even himself – "All component things in the world are changeable. They are not lasting.")
* From the poem 'Desiderata' by Max Ehrmann

What Happens When A Respirator Is Removed?
By Antonia Cox April 13, 2022 Tips & Knowledge
There are a lot of patients who die in the intensive care unit after mechanical ventilation is withdrawn. A 'death rattle' can be caused by excessive respiratory secretion after the cessation of ventilation.

The majority of patients die within a day after mechanical ventilation is withdrawn. Family counseling at the end of life can be informed by the validation of these predictors.
If general anesthesia is used for surgery, it is common for the patient to be intubated. Most people don't experience any serious side effects when the tube is removed. Some people do not have any symptoms at all.

Depending on the severity and type of injury, the average time to ventilator liberation is 16 to 37 days. If the patient can't wean from their dependence on the ventilator within 60 days, they won't do it later.
Speak lovingly and clearly to your loved one because they do hear them. Patients in the Critical Care Unit often remember hearing their loved one talk to them while on life support.
Some people may need to be on a ventilator for a short period of time. If a person needs to be on a breathing machine for a long time, a tracheostomy may be necessary.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8VIw0fk4X0
You'll be on the breathing machine until you wake up to have the breathing tube removed. The breathing machine has a tube in your mouth that helps you breathe.
It is difficult to feel or hear the pulse or heartbeat. The temperature of the body goes down. Breathing is interrupted when skin on their knees, feet, and hands turns bluish- purple.
Carbon dioxide is a harmful waste gas that you need to get rid of. Ventriloquists help you breathe, but can lead to problems. Problems can be caused by things that are more likely to happen when you are on a ventilator.
A 'death rattle' can be caused by excessive respiratory secretion after the cessation of ventilation. Post-extubation stridor can make people think that the patient is in pain.
The development of respiratory muscle fatigue is associated with the development of failed weaning efforts. If the patient is quickly returned to ventilatory support, fatigue rarely occurs during a well-monitored SBT.

The breathing tube is placed down the patient's throat. They are attached to a ventilator through the breathing tube. The machine helps them exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, supporting their breathing while they are undergoing an operation or any kind of recovery.
There is a conclusion. The long-term survival of patients with severe COVID-19 can reach more than 50%.
When the lucky survivors of COVID-19 are taken off the machines, it can take a long time for many of them to be able to stand. There is hope that the experience can be avoided, according to a recent study.
The carbon dioxide that can be toxic is removed from the patient's lungs with the help of a ventilator. It doesn't treat disease or medical conditions.
When your alarm clock goes off but you aren't yet fully awake, it's usually because patients are sleepy but conscious while on the ventilator. If we can avoid strong sedation in the intensive care unit, we'll be able to heal quicker.
If they have a breathing tube in their mouth, they can't say anything. When awake patients are asked if they remember what was said to them when they were snoozing, they say yes. Even if the conversation is only one way, it's better to assume they can hear you.
Ventilatory support without tracheal intubation is referred to as non- invasive ventilation. It is possible to use this as a first step in patients who don't need a lot of help.
A lot of people with portable ventilators live a normal life. People who use a life-support device don't recover very often. They might not be able to function on their own again.

As soon as the first day of intubation is over, providers should plan extubation. If a patient passes the SBT, they should be extubated.
It has been shown that a successful SBT of 30 minutes is as good an indicator of successful extubation as one of 120 minutes.
Some COVID-19 patients may not have any symptoms. Oxygen therapy should be started on any COVID-19 patient with an oxygen saturation below 90 percent if they don't show any signs of low oxygen levels.
If the quality of life is not acceptable to the patient, removing a ventilator from an awake patient is equivalent to removing a ventilator from a patient who is not aware. The provider can be sure that the patient wants what they want.
A new study shows that short-term use of breathing machines can cause brain damage in mice.
Ventilator-caused lung injury is an acute lung injury that can cause serious morbidity and mortality. The impact of lung injury on morbidity and mortality is becoming more recognized.
Your doctor may refer to it as a mechanical ventilator. It's often referred to as a "breathing machine" or "respirator." Medical workers wear a mask called a respirator when caring for someone with a disease. A ventilator is a machine that connects your airway to the rest of your body.
When the oxygen saturation is low, patients are usually intubated.

Provides a first-generation hierarchical model of autophagy. AtgO is based on publicly available molecular interaction networks in S. cerevisiae. It contains up-to-date biological findings and a compendium of networks of nine different data types, including protein interactions, genetic interactions, gene co-expression, and gene-gene similarity based on shared protein sequence and structural information.
An extensively-curated database dedicated for researchers working on yeast apoptosis. It is an open platform established to facilitate the organization and sharing of knowledge. yApoptosis structurally collects annotated information of apoptotic genes such as pathway information, GO terms, relevant literature, and provides additional links to protein information, gene expression and interaction data.
Provides information about potential caspase cleavage sites in a verified set of human proteins involved in NDs. CaspNeuroD is a relational database of in silico predicted caspase cleavage sites in human proteins associated with NDs. This database could be used for identifying new caspase substrates and further our understanding of the caspase-mediated substrate cleavage in NDs. It provides also information about the conservation of cleavage positions in corresponding orthologs, and information about the positions of single nucleotide polymorphisms and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that may modulate the caspase cleavage efficiency.
A dedicated database of 82 apoptosis proteins. ApoCanD comprises of crucial information of apoptosis proteins in the context of cancer. Genomic status of proteins in the form of mutation, copy number variation and expression in thousands of tumour samples and cancer cell lines are the major bricks of this database. Availability of other information e.g. gene essentiality data, tertiary structure, sequence alignments, sequences profiles, post-translational modifications makes it even more useful for the researchers. ApoCanD provides plenty of opportunities for the researchers in exploring the role of apoptosis in cancer.
Provides a data resource for autophagy researches. ARN collects up to 1480 proteins with more than 4000 of autophagy components in humans. It also contains more than 400 transcription factors (TF) and 380 miRNA that can serve to adjust autophagy components and their protein regulators including signaling pathways from the SignaLink 2 resource. Disease and cancer type annotations are available for each protein in this database.
A reference for all scientists working on p53, including information on p53 structure and function, the description of all p53 monoclonal antibodies and the phylogenetic analysis of p53. More than 50% of human tumors carry TP53 gene mutations and in consequence more than 45,000 somatic and germline mutations have been gathered in the UMD TP53 database. Analyses of these mutations have been invaluable for bettering our knowledge on the structure-function relationships within the TP53 protein and the high degree of heterogeneity of the various TP53 mutants in human cancer.
A database of proteins involved in cell death. DeathBase compiles relevant data on the function, structure and evolution of proteins involved in apoptosis and other forms of cell death in several organisms. Information contained in this database is subjected to manual curation. You can contribute to maintain the DeathBase by editing the wikipage for any protein.

Q: Creating a recurring timer I have been tasked with creating a Java version of a C# SDK. Currently. I am working on a class that extends the C# System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase but due to the difficulty of creating Windows services in Java I am focusing on some of the other methods in the class.
The current C# method I am attempting to replicate in Java looks as follows
    private void StartProcesses()
    {
        // create a new cancellationtoken souce
        _cts = new CancellationTokenSource();

        // start the window timer
        _windowTimer = new Timer(new TimerCallback(WindowCallback),
            _cts.Token, 0, Convert.ToInt64(this.SQSWindow.TotalMilliseconds));

        this.IsWindowing = true;
    }

After analyzing this section of code I believe that it initializes a System.threading.Timer object that executes the WindowCallback function every SQSWindow milliseconds.
After reading through the java.util.concurrent documentation located
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/package-summary.html
I am unsure how I would replicate the C# functionality in Java as I cannot find the equivalent to the Timer functionality. The TimeUnit provided by the Java library appears to be only used for thread timeouts and not to issue recurring operations.
I am also curious as to the use of the CancellationTokenSource. If this object is meant to be queried to determine if the action is to continue, why is it not a primative such as a boolean? What additional functionality does it provide, and is there a similar construct in Java's multithreading model?

A: Using a ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor, you can get very similar functionality:
ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();
Runnable task = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        //here the code that needs to run periodically
    }
};
//run the task every 200 ms from now
Future<?> future = scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, 0, 200, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
//a bit later, you want to cancel the scheduled task:
future.cancel(true);

A: The equivalent Java classes are `Timer and TimerTask.
Example:
Timer t = new Timer();
t.schedule(new TimerTask(){

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Do stuff
    }

}, startTime, repeatEvery);

If you want to be able to cancel, then use the TimerTask as a variable. The TimerTask class has the method cancel.

A: You may want to have a look at ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor. It is an implementation of ScheduledExecutorService, which has the ability to schedule periodically.
