When The Cover-up Exposes the Crime

I’ve been outta the loop politically since the first African-American was elected President of the United States. My understanding of his tenure was that he courageously fulfilled his obligations as Commander-in-chief through two terms, fighting tooth and nail against an opposition political party that attempted to hinder his every move. Now I’m tuning in and watching a fiasco unfold with a President and his associates who represent that same political party that opposed the first African-American President. Yes, the same man who stoked the angry flames of the birther movement.

Now let me get this straight. The President’s personal lawyer was sentenced to 3 years incarceration for lying to congress about hush money payments made to women the President had extramarital affairs with years ago. Well why would a lawyer lie about that? I wouldn’t call a pornstar and playboy playmate credible witnesses that could hurt the President politically. Oh, the money was paid during the 2016 Presidential campaign? Did the campaign report the money as an expense? I see. And did the President know about these payments? Well if the President says he didn’t know anything about it, let the loyal lawyer take the fall, what’s the problem?

What! The lawyer confessed? What made him do that? So, you’re saying the raid on the lawyer’s office turned up evidence that proved him guilty of lying about the payments? And why should the President be concerned when he has said all along that he knew nothing about the lawyer’s payments to the pornstar and the playboy playmate?

Is the President heard referencing the payments on the recordings? Don’t the lawyer’s recordings fall under attorney-client privilege material? I see, so the lawyer cut a deal claiming everything he did was under orders from the President.  I wonder what made the lawyer paranoid enough to not only record conversions with the President but to keep the recordings in his office for years. Yeah, it does kind of sound like a low-level mobster insurance policy. Guess I would feel Untouchable too with evidence like that in my possession? Ever heard of J. Edgar Hoover? He had something on just about everyone.

And please tell me again, why was the lawyer initially questioned about the President? Russia? You mean the lawyer was trying to do business with Russia on behalf of the President? The same Russia that United States intelligence organizations have confirmed interfered with the 2016 Presidential Election? I see, so the lawyer is just the pawn protecting the business King from being prosecuted for collusion with Russia in U.S. election interference. Why would the President collude with a sanctioned country like Russia? Yes I know of the President’s business organization. You say the President’s business org. was working on a billion-dollar deal to build a hotel-casino in Russia? No they didn’t! They actually threw-in a free penthouse suite for the Russian President as a bonus if the deal went through? Now I get the picture. 

So when the President started advocating removing U.S. sanctions on Russia, his motive was to get rid of the U.S. imposed restrictions preventing American businesses like his from doing business there. That sounds like a bigger plan than one man or one business could pull off. Is there anything I might’ve missed? I would begin coming unhinged too if a day after my personal lawyer was sentenced for lying for me, that National Enquirer newspaper, under threat of prosecution, finally admitted this:

The company that publishes the National Enquirer admitted that it paid $150,000 in hush money to silence alleged mistresses of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump prior to the 2016 election, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The publisher, American Media Inc., will avoid prosecution by stipulating that it worked with Trump's campaign to buy the silence of women — who have identified themselves as adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal — ahead of the vote two years ago, prosecutors said.

So the National Enquirer bought and buried the pornstar story as an agreement with the President’s 2016 campaign, that’s rich. Who knew that when an enhanced and aging pornstar came forward with allegations of a tryst between her and the President, that the story would kick up dirt exposing illegal actions taken by the President to influence the election and possibly pave the way for him making lots of money in Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Its so true that the cover up is always worse than the crime.

You mean the President of the United States has been implicated in a felony? And his business organization, per the prosecution, is documented as paying back the felonious lawyer money he paid National Inquirer who in turn paid the playmate? I swear you just can't make up stories like this. You do think we'll see indictments for the President and family members running his business organization, right? Wow...…….

And one final question or two if you don’t mind. What, besides the unhinged blowup on national tv to shutdown the Government if he doesn’t get his wall , has the President said of late? I know the President continues to call the Russian election interference investigation as nothing more than a “witch hunt.” And I'm not surprised he has labeled his once trusted and good-fellow lawyer with one little word, “weak.”

How does the always elusive White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders feel right about now?

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Tuesday that she hopes to be remembered as being “transparent and honest” when her tenure in the role comes to an end.

Transparent – clear, crystal clear, undisguised, evident, apparent, unmistakable

Honest – truthful, sincere, open, candid, frank, authentic, impartial, trustworthy

And now for the scary question I'm sure many Americans are wondering tonight.

Who's carrying the football and the codes?
