The most amazing part of this so far is when Cohen calls out the GOP on the committee for protecting Trump, saying they're doing the same thing that he did for Trump for 10 years. Don't do it, he warns them. Look where it got me.

That was epic.

It's actually the other way around. There is one blank to allow for the belief that a shooter didn't execute the prisoners. It's a long-standing tradition.

that would leave quite a bloody mess, but it does make more sense compared to a single bullet, as I assume the firing squad isn't aiming for the head, right?

Stone didn't include reference to himself in that statement, or that he was specifically referring to Cohen's claims about himself. I read that as Stone just calling Cohen a liar in his testimony regarding the investigation against Trump, which seems pretty clearly restricted in the gag order, no? If that broad assertion could be invoke here, then it seems there are no limits to the definition of broad, no?
As I read it he was asked a direct question about the claim he called Trump about the Wikileaks dump and he was responding to that specific question. He also isn't on trial or charged in relation to that so it's outside the scope of the charges he is facing right now.

You are correct, firing squads are instructed to aim for the heart.

Thought I'd bump this since Cohen started testimony today. Tomorrow will be open and televised. In case you are wondering how the GOP are feeling about this...

Just a little more witness intimidation before testifying before Congress. Not a big deal from a *checks notes* Congressman

The Florida Bar says hello and that you have some explaining to do. Per CNN the Florida Bar is now investigating.

I didn't hear it directly but did someone trot out the 1 token black who works for Trump in a management position to prove he isn't racist?

Think about what would happen if the one bullet misses. Keep going until someone gets it right? Then if the person is wounded but doesn't die, then what? Shoot him in the head or leave him bleed out? It would be the definition of cruel and unusual in our society. A bloody mess indeed.

Again.... interesting over at Fox News.
Fox is in a pickle.
Fox hates having their leader and god on trial.
Yet, Fox keeps referring back to Hillary and Benghazi.
Fox would love to have Hillary up there on trial for emails, servers and Benghazi.
However... the pickle for Fox and republicans, Hillary would have had to been elected in 2016 for Fox to have Hillary on trial.
And after watching Fox, I think Fox and friends really wish Hillary would have been elected over Donald Trump.
For only to have their Hillary on trial moment.
Fox suddenly realized they can't have it both ways.
If they wanted a Hillary witch hunt, then Hillary would need to be president.
But she isn't.
It appears Fox actually regrets this. That Hillary lost to Trump.
And they regret all that fun Fox and friends have been missing out on.

Sigh.... if only Hillary were president.
Signed, Fox and Friends.

Meh, Fox is failing miserably except with the people who would let Trump shoot people. They aren't making things better or worse because if they vanished the people would remain the same.

As our useful idiots said in 2016. Elections have consequences.

The TRUMP's are a mob family plain and simple.
The sleazy lawyers, the pornography, the prostitution, the whores, the shady financial dealings, the collusion, the corruption, how they stick together, in short just the way they operate.
What I wonder about, how much of this current congress is in bed with this mob family?
Because THAT would explain a hell of a lot about the actions and reactions from this congress.
And when one of their own turns against the organization, against the family, what they are doing to Cohen is exactly how they react, minus the dark alley assignation.
We can only imagine how Trump and his family i.e. the republican congress would just love to catch Cohen in some dark alley.
Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

I think that kind of crazy needs to be continuously reinforced or it dissipates naturally. There's so much shit in their heads that they can't think & it needs to be kept topped off.

Read the actual gag order and precisely what Stone did. There is no legal justification for punishment. Naturally the judge can change the gag order.
