Cohen’s testimony is a bombshell. As set forth by him today, powerful & compelling facts implicate President Trump in serious violations of the law.
According to Cohen, Donald Trump, Jr. told President Trump about the June 9th Trump Tower meeting before it happened, & Trump approved it—implicating the president in violations of federal campaign finance laws.
Per today’s testimony, Roger Stone, who was coordinating w/WikiLeaks, told Trump about releasing illegally hacked emails before it happened— & before Trump made a plea for hackers to commit the crime again—implicating Trump in a conspiracy to violate Computer Fraud & Abuse Act.
There should no longer be doubt in anyone’s mind that collusion with Russia links directly to President Trump himself.

These facts, if corroborated by other witnesses/docs, are completely damning & overpowering in impact. If true, Cohen’s testimony reveals that the President of the United States has brazenly & repeatedly violated the law & lied to the American people.
Cohen testified today that President Trump personally directed Cohen’s messaging to Congress, & his lawyers reviewed & edited Cohen’s statement—implicating Trump in a criminal conspiracy to commit perjury, making false statements, & obstruction of justice.
Cohen also testified that some of those reimbursement checks were signed by Donald Trump, Jr.—implicating Don Jr. in the ongoing Southern District of New York criminal case.

Full fact-finding demands McCabe be called to the Judiciary Committee in public, under oath—along with others. Explosive claims cry out for clear-eyed exposure.
Stunning as McCabe’s account is, the Judiciary Committee should hear open testimony about why & when he discussed with top DOJ officials wearing a wire & invoking the 25th amendment. The American people & Congress need to hear from him directly.
Uncommon, unparalleled, unprecedented. Discussion among top DOJ officials of 25th amendment is a terrifying testament to their well-founded fears about our democracy.

Today I met with William Barr to ask him again to commit to release the complete Special Counsel’s report directly to Congress & the American public. He chose not to. This issue is transcendent at this point in our history. Therefore, I cannot support Barr’s nomination for AG.
I disagree with William Barr on policy issues from women’s health care & reproductive rights to criminal justice reform & civil rights. And importantly: I disagree with his decision not to commit to releasing the Mueller report or comply with a subpoena to release the findings.
For me, the issue of releasing the Special Counsel’s report is a defining & definitive test of a larger question: will Mr. Barr be the people’s lawyer or the President’s lawyer? The answer is unclear & that’s deeply concerning.

The question either infuriates or intrigues tens of millions of Americans:
Did God play a role in the victory of Donald Trump?
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-21
Trump won in 2016 despite widespread belief among pollsters & voters alike that Hillary Clinton would beat him easily. He won in great part because of the support of more than 80% of white evangelical voters.
"Trump will win a 2nd term"

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
