Michael Cohen Trump’s embattled former lawyer has been sentenced to 3 years in prison while saying he took “full responsibility” for his actions and managing to blame the US president at the same time, this from a CNN report.
Cohen is the latest casualty of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election. Trump’s lawyer has gotten the longest sentence that has been the result of the investigation or of any of the president’s former associates.
In a filing in August where Cohen plead guilty to campaign finance charges, state prosecutors stated that Cohen “acted in coordination with and at the direction of” president Trump.
Staying on topic, please allow me to come down the “Peanut “Gallery” and remind some that the American justice system, even in its current flawed state, is still making an effort to ensure that every citizen (rich, powerful, powerless, influential, lacking influence) is within the ‘long arms of the law”. Mr. Cohen not too long ago was exuding an extreme air of arrogance and invicibility. During that period he did not exhibit, at least publicly, any of the signs of admission of guilt, humility, penance and remorse he displayed during his sentencing. I implore my fellow DNO posters to let us continue to hear the whole matter and let the process play out, even for Mr. Trump whose adventures I have followed closely for decades. I am fully confident that at the end of day the same justice system whose seemingly scales have been tipped in favor of the privileged and against those whose don’the quite resemble them will do the right thing as they did with Messers Capone, Madoff and…
Please answer,where is the collusion with Russia? Name one person charged or found guilty.It appears that you all abandon Russia,Russia and Russia,Now is taxes,paying hush money,building The tower of Babel, all kind of nonsense.One thing for sure Trump is like the Pillars of Hercules standing tall standing strong.
Please DNO continue printing about Trump I love it, I like to dialogue with my black people

Hello and good morning my people. Just remember that the Mueller investigation is still ongoing and its getting closer to Trump and his family. How do you explain the meeting at Trump Tower between Trump JR with the Russian lawyer looking for dirt on Hillary Clinton. Also Mueller know who Trump JR called using a block number and what he said to the grand jury.
The final report is coming soon.
Well, remember mobster Al Capone? they tried and tried to get him but failed till his book keeper got nailed and he spilled the beans and they got Capone on income tax evasion and he got sent to Alcatraz. The same thing is going to happen to the mobster Trump, they are going to get him on taxes and he may die in prison like Capone. Trumps own mouth is going to be his downfall, he does not know when to keep his mouth shut and keeps implicating himself every time he gets on or calls in to FOX and Friends or Tweets at 3 AM. Only a fool attorney would represent him. Plus, they may never get paid he has a habit of SHAFTING people and contractors with payment.
Remember all the polls all the journalist all the political experts. Predicted it was a landslide victory for Hillary,but the people spoke loud and clear.At the same time Hillary the DNC and the top guys in the FBI ploting against Trump they said he colluded with Russia to win the election.So they brought a special council not to investigate a crime committed by Trump and his campaign but they are looking for a crime involving Trump and Russia.
Now I am going to challenge all the gainsayers,Over $33.000.000 have been spent and this investigation is almost 2yrs old. CAN ANYONE NAME one person who has been charged and found guilty for colluding with Russia for Trump?just name ONE.Cohen is for lying and not paying taxes another one for money laundering which took place over 10yrs ago.And two others for not remembering dates, But nothing to with Trump’s election.where is the evidence about Trump? Please reply.Next election is victory for Trump..put it in your pipe and smoke it.

Hello and good evening my people. Well Mueller Investigation is still active and he got convictions against Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, Papadopolas and Kelly. Just wait when they indict Trump JR, Jared and Ivanka. Can you explain why Trump was offering an apartment to Putin worth fifty million dollars if they let him build a tower in Moscow . Just a few questions.
Hello and good afternoon my people. Well Donald Trump don’t understand American Criminal Law rather he pays lawyers to sue people and try to bankrupt them but he can’t bankrupt the FBI. The IRS and New York State Attorney general will get him on Tax fraud for having two set of book for his properties where he under reported the value of his property. Only one person who criticize Trump that he haven’t attack and that person is Jamie Diamond of JP Monrgan Chase Bank who said that Donald Trump isn’t a self made billionaire rather he inherit his wealth from his father. Donald Trump cheated on all three of his wife and his first wife gave a disposition in the divorce proceeding saying that he raped her after she convince him to have hair transplant surgery that didn’t work . Just look at his hair how he comb it from side to side and back to front
.
Everything you all have against this man is just pure tabloid garbage. I don’t know how conservative thinking dominicans could rail so hard against a man who holds many of the same values that we hold. You all would prefer somebody like Hillary Clinton who supports abortion and LGBTQXYZ homo craziness?
No problem DNO.I would like to put on record my thanks to the management and staff for the avenue where by I can express my thoughts.Have a merry Christmas together with a wonderful new year,God’s blessings be yours.
ADMIN: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well.

Hello and good afternoon my people. I am predicting that Donald Trump won’t run for reelection and his son,his daughter and son in law Jared will be indicted for conspiracy against the American government for receiving help from a foreign government during the 2016 election. You can’t just allow Fox News to fool you and I can understand that you are a supporter of Trump but you must open your eyes and used commonsense.
If Trump is Hitler and he is also Mussolini in both cases he is thw good one.He has killed no one nor has he ordered anyone to do so.Over 93% of the media reporting is negative of him and he has not ordered the shutdown of any.Concerning Immigration,he want to secure the southern border and all those who want to come must comes in through the right channel and we all will say this is common sense…will continue
I am hoping one day DNO will print something good about my beloved presiden,Donald Trump.I know you don’t have a journalist in the U.S.nor can you afford one,so you get your news from fake news CNN and others likeminded.The things I am hearing and reading about the president,the 31 states who voted for love him,oh my,we love him.
During the campaign he promised to bring back manufacturing jobs.On June 1.2016 Obama responded
“When he say he is going to bring back the jobs.is he going to wave a magic wand in the air? these jobs are gone they are not going to return.”
Under Trump there are more jobs than people to filled the positions.Now the same Obama is taking the credit.
Just 2 days ago headline news.Trump sued Stormy Daniel and she was asked to pay Trump over $300.000 plus his legal fees but that’s not news worthy if it was the other way…..
ADMIN: We hear your point but understand we can’t carry every Trump story – we have never carried the Stormy Daniel story for example. Additionally, a criminal conviction involving fraud and election interference on a national scale is a far more consequential news item then a ruling in a personal civil matter.
To: J John Charles
Hello and good evening my people. Well Mr Charles I have live in New York since 1978 and I know Donald Trump is a liar and a fraud. Just go and read passed articles in the Village Voice by Juan Gonzalez and you will understand. Donald Grand father was a Nazi, his father Fred Trump was arrested in Long Island matching with the KKK so the apple don’t fall far from the tree. Michael Cohen recorded Trump discussing paying off Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet before the elections he also paid off Karen McDougal the playboy bunny to keep their relation secret. Trump gave his rich business friends a trillion and a half dollars in tax breaks and they used that money to buy back their stocks. The jobs that are being created a service orientated Jobs which pays minimum wages where people need three jobs just to pay their monthly expense. He’s currently trying to blackmail China with Tarriff but China is doing a good job at keeping their educated people at home.
Blackmail China with tarrif?? Are you kidding me? You mean the china that allows foreign corporations to employ their people in sweatshops for less than $1 and whose citizen’s live under a wall of surveillance and censorship. Some of you people are literally suffering from Trump derangement Syndrome.
Also it is amazing how dense some people are like Admin responding that they can’t carry every Trump story and giving the stormy daniels story as an example of one they didn’t carry basically proving the posters point in the first place that the only news you guys carry is the propaganda regurgitated verbatim from the american MSM
ADMIN: Make your point without insulting other’s intelligence. In an open forum (based on free speech and merit of ideas), a valid point will stand on its own without the need to put down others. Hurling insults implies you doubt the strength of your own arguments.

Hello and good morning my people. The biggest problem America is facing with China is that China now have the knowledge power to combine with their huge population which provides low labor cost and a huge middle class. American companies only care about their stock value rising every quarter not their workers making a living wage. America is also dependent on a brain drain from China,India and Russia but those countries are doing a good job at keeping their educated citizens at home to develope their country. Now America is now resorting to Tarriff and they are accusing China of spying through their development of ZTE, HUAWEI cell phones and Internet technology because China no longer depends on America tech companies. The American empire which is based on fraud ,force and corruption Is crumbling.
…Greed will get you in so deep, and an inflated sense of self importance will worsen your situation in a corrupted state..but
“Truth crushed to earth will rise again.” We shall overcome because James Russell Lowell is right. “Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne. Yet that scaffold sways the future.”
Lies and Deceit sours the vial that contains it, and Hate will rust it’s container.. Oh what a relief when people face the consequences of their actions..Cohen will rest easier now for sure. There are many here in Dominica that need to be able to rest well too..come forward and let the truth set you free..Lies cannot hold forever..
Off to the country club facility.
The idiot trump does not seem to realize the american presidency is a four year stint with a possible 4 year extension and not lifetime so as soon as he out he going to jail. All the people around you getting arrested and sentenced. Our PM in Dominica claiming to be Jesus to stay in power. All kinds of folks he associated with getting arrested. He knows darn well is the office of prime minister that saving his assests why he gets increasingly paranoid and desperate when elections near. Like America or not thier laundry dirty or clean is there for the world to see and thier justice system does not play. It has its flaws but is the best Democratic system of government in the world. The constitutional strength has never been tested this much until now. At the end of it all we will find out if the checks and balance worked as designed and will only make the system stronger. I wish there were men and women in Dominica who had the balls to uphold the law and constitution like this.
“The constitutional strength has never been tested this much until now.” – hahaha so we are going to just ignore all those times where amendments to the constitution had to be made like when the 14th amendment had to be made to prevent former slaves from being deported or when major supreme court decisions had to be made and precedent set for future cases (roe v wade, dread scott etc) or you know the recent and most famous one where the black president’s supreme court nominees voted to legalize same sex marriage. On a side note its funny how in a country as homophobic as Dominica people are still fond of Obama.
It’s like you people either know nothing at all or you just like to say whatever you think sounds good.
You talking about amendments to define a term marriage since it did not state solely btw a man and a woman and other amendments to add protections for people who were abused by the elites or offer clarity where there was non vs a man who most likely commited a crime to become President and in the space of 2 and 1/2 years is trying everything to dismantle the protections that exist under the constitution. Give him a chance he would tear up the 14th amendment and send every black person back to africa and other non whites to mexico. Give him a chance he would rule like a king and burn all history books. Tell me when last you have seen so many actions by one President blocked by a federal judge because it was unconstitutional? Trump is no different from men like Mosulini and Hitler. He is just in a different time where people are more informed and independent. The fuel is his ignorant supporters.
Oh so Shaka Zulu you support gay marriage? Last I checked that wasn’t a very popular opinion in Dominica. What protections is Trump trying to dismantle? The 14th ammendment is being ABUSED and that’s a fact. It was never intended for ANCHOR BABIES. And if you don’t think having to ammend the constitution is not a TEST then you have no idea what you’re talking about. How many ammendments to the constitution or notable supreme court decisions have happened under Trump so far? All you have is activist judges trying to stop the man from forwarding his agenda to make his country safe from bad actors like illegal mexicans who are abusing the system.
It’s crazy that black people are so up in arms about Trump’s immigration policy because you believe this lie about Trump hating black people. This entire immigration battle is about LATIN AMERICANS who hate black people by the way.
So keep fighting for the people who would spit on you the first chance they get
do you listen to parliament in Dominica, when these weak waste of time minister gets up to make they so-call contribution. they all praise the so-call pm, check it out and you will see, its a laughable cabinet of puppets, these people were instructed to say what they say, because they getting a salary at the month end, they all know that the pm should have already been prosecuted and jailed, but time longer that twine, just one day we will be rescued from our demise, just one day.
