I didn’t know Michael Cohen was a member.
Remember Trump is really a Democrat
“In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat,” Trump said in an interview with CNN. “It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats.... But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disasters under the Republicans.”
I think he might be setting someone up

But he knew he lied to cover it up, blatantly.

Don't you know, lying is OK now.
Blatant lies are the best, repeated as often as possible.

Fitzerald knew that he, himself, blatently, brazenly, illegally, withheld exculpatory information from Scooter's lawyer and from one of his star witnesses, and by which he manipulated a false testimony from Judith Miller. His withholding of evidence was prosecutorial misconduct, a lie of omission, and he knew that the withheld evidence would have severely damaged his case. Fitzgerald knew he was wrongly squeezing Scooter in order to get him to testify against Cheney. He knew Scooter didn't out Plame, but was willing to create the big lie then promise Scooter that he would drop the charges if he would turn on Cheney.

In the end, it turned out that Neither Cheney nor Scooter outed Plame. Armitage did, and he was not prosecuted. Why?

A more important question was why was she ever outed?

like so many leftist activists, "whistleblowers", protesters, etc... they are a couple of "how dare you criticize these fine people given what they've been forced to endure" hyper partisan hacks who preen to be above it all "I don't really adhere to a party" spies driving Jaguars ( or is it Jag-YOU-ar"?) types milking every media opportunity and penny out of the situation...oddly similar to what we are seeing today from the many of the "embedded" actors in Washington....Sean Penn was a proper choice

this is great...

When, in 1997, the CIA began to fear Plame had been given away - along with other covert overseas operatives - to the Russians by the double agent Aldrich Ames, she was brought back to Washington. There, at a reception given by the then Turkish ambassador, her eyes drifted across the room to meet those of retired US ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV.

He was 13 years older than her, successful and ruggedly handsome. For both, it was love at first sight.

Within weeks, an unusually nervous Plame felt she had something to say. The couple were in bed, making love, as Wilson would later recall. But her husband-to-be had to know: she was an undercover agent."
