Gene Robinson: Trump sounds like a crime boss in secretly taped exchange

[DrLove]

Yep - Trump is much like a Mafia Boss. Telling people not to cooperate with federal authorities, giving aide and comfort to convicted felons while dangling protection and pardons. This shit-show has gotta stop my friends.

WASHINGTON — If President Trump’s secretly taped conversation with attorney Michael Cohen reminds you of a crime boss and his consigliere, you’re not alone. Trump’s current lawyer and mouthpiece, Rudy Giuliani, evidently agrees.

After CNN first played the tape on Tuesday, Giuliani went on Fox News and downplayed its importance, citing his experience as a mob-busting federal prosecutor: “How about 4,000 hours of Mafia people on tape? I know how to listen to them. I know how to transcribe them. This tape is crystal clear when you listen to [it]. I’ve dealt with much worse tapes than this.”

Spin-wise, this is the best they’ve got? That Trump and Cohen don’t sound as bad as the Gambino family? Yikes.

The recording, made by Cohen shortly before the 2016 election, is a window onto how Trump does business — and, by extension, what kind of person he is. In it, he and his then-lawyer Cohen discuss their machinations to squelch former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal’s story of what she describes as a 10-month affair with Trump.

The president of the United States is revealed as a schemer and a liar. That’s no surprise, I realize, but now we can hear him in action — and there is no way he can claim the evidence is “fake news.”​

Now it's about to get interesting.

The charges for Manafort's next trial are for obstruction of justice, failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to launder money with indicted co conspirator, the Russian Ambassador.

And that's when the name Donald J. Trump begins to pop up again and again.

That assumes that Mob Boss Trump doesn't trot out a pardon.
I've got it at a 50/50

Donald Trump talks like a mob boss — and reminds us he has no idea what he’s doing
