The worst thing he said was that based upon his knowledge of "Mr. Trump" there would be no peaceful transfer of power if he loses in 2020. I am afraid I would expect the same thing. If he had lost in 2016 he said he would not concede the result. It's just who he is. He can't admit a loss.
The saddest thing about Trump that he said is that Trump directed him to write threatening letters to his schools to not release his SATs or grades. We know that Trump has claimed to have a "very good brain" and "a very stable genius". Nonsense of course, and he is desperate to keep evidence of his intellect out of the public record. Just for the record, by the way, William T Kelly, a former Wharton professor said, long before Trump entered politics and was just a TV reality show personality, "Trump was the Goddamned dumbest student I ever had".
How about felonies? Max Boot listed at least five that Cohen outlined:
- Conspiracy with the Russians during the campaign when he coordinated with Roger Stone to get Wikileaks' document dump from Clinton emails
- Lying to the Justice Department and the FBI about coordinating with Stone
- Suborning Perjury when he directed Cohen to lie about his ongoing efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow prior to his inauguration
- Violating campaign finance laws by paying off mistresses to keep them quiet just before the election day
- Bank and Tax Fraud when he inflated his assets in order to get underserved bank loans and deflating the same assets in order to pay less taxes
Are these impeachable offenses? Of course. Will he be impeached for them? Probably not because only the Republicans can impeach him, and the only way Republicans are going to impeach Trump is if there is a sudden revelation that causes the entire county to gasp in horror and disbelief. I gasp in horror and disbelief frequently, but I don't count and liberals and Democrats don't count. Only conservatives and Republican Senators count.
Should Trump be impeached? I am afraid that if he his impeached people will die by the hands of extremist white supremacist militia style crazies who will only see such as a coup.
Better that Congress just run the county and ignore this nitwit, and have both Republican and Democrat candidates run against him and defeat him in 2020.
Watching Trump is like watching a PBS docudrama about tyrannical kings of yore, but the roles are being played by the Three Stooges (actually Many Stooges)
