He never fails to hide behind the Dow Jones or the GDP numbers, and he did so this week, but that fails to distract from the fact that Michael Cohen, is former legal fixer, has agreed to cooperate with the investigation into the Russian Connection. CNN reported that Cohen told sources he was present when Trump's son told Mr. Yuge about the offer from Russians to help him with damaging information about the Democratic nominee. Cohen said Trump approved of going ahead with the meeting that took place in Manhattan's Trump Tower.
Former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, facing trial on money laundering charges, and current White House adviser Jared Kushner, met with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, an informant for Russian intelligence. The meeting was arranged by music producer Rob Goldstone who told Trump Jr. a Russian government lawyer was offering to produce information that would be damaging to Clinton's White House bid. The Cohen flip was met with the usual denials from both the subject of interest and his new mouthpiece, Rudy 'Gouli'. Mr. Yuge went so far as to suggest that Cohen's decision to cooperate with Robert Mueller was related to Cohen's alleged illegal dealings with New York taxi cabs. Rudy weighed in too, calling Cohen a "pathological liar". Then the pot called the kettle, black.
