Cohen's lawyer says that Cohen wouldn't accept a pardon from Trump, for whatever that's worth.
Mal: Take your people and go. Captain: You would have done the same. Mal: We can already see I haven't.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And Trump's tweet this morning:
If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don't retain the services of Michael Cohen!
Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Yeah, I don't think Trump will resign. All the evidence in the world won't matter if Congress won't act on it and they won't unless the Dems get control of the house.
I have a feeling that Mueller is going to come out with a lot when the time comes. He has come out with so much detail on the Russia end of things and I suspect the Russian government is better at hiding things than the yahoos around Trump.

I can't believe all of the late night shows are on break.
Didn't SNL do a summer edition of just Weekend Update last summer? They totally need to jump on that again. (Although, yeah, summer is almost over. But still.)

And didn't he freeze to death? That would argue for some other way.

They have to be going nuts, but they will have more material when they return no doubt.
Yesterday was a remarkable day, but I am looking ahead. Are Jared, Don Jr, or other family members in the next round of indictments? Will the question of whether a president can be indicted be tested? How long before we see the bogus potus run further off the rails and wholesale fire and revoke clearances? Will the GOP ever step up or are they permanently destroyed as a party? Will the remaining core Trumpers ever see the light?
That said, today is my son Bobby's birthday. Alas, once again I am in NY and he is in FL. He'll be celebrating with his new family and since I love them that helps me feel better.

Happy Birthday, Bobby!

To go back to less cheerful matters, Manafort is due to go on trial in DC soon ... meanwhile, he sits in jail.
edited to add:
Michael Avenatti's rates, I understand, have gone up. WAY up. And he was at the VMAs and commented, "It sounds like Omarosa and Michael Cohen are competing for recording artist of the year."

I have no fondness for either Cohen or Omarosa, but I hope they have vast stores of recorded material and that it all comes out. Before the mid-terms would be nice.
