12 tapes all secretly recorded by Michael Cohen and all in the hands of Prosecutors. I don’t expect there to be any evidence of Russian Collusion on the tapes because Trump’s legal team wouldn’t have waived their privilege on the tapes if there was.
Some of the tapes could however be used by the Southern District of New York as evidence of Bank Fraud and Campaign Finance Violations.
11 Republican House Members have started impeachment proceedings against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. For it to get anywhere, the House will have to vote on it and a majority will need to say Yes. Then it will go to the Senate for trial where a two thirds majority will be needed to remove Rosenstein from office.
It shouldn’t get anywhere to be honest. Some Republicans like Trey Gowdy have pushed back against the suggestion of impeachment in recent weeks and the Democrats will obviously vote no.
In my opinion it’s just a ploy to remove Rosenstein from office so Trump can appoint someone who will end the Russia Investigation. Trump won’t fire Rosenstein because Rosenstein’s boss Attorney General Jeff Sessions will resign and the Senate will refuse to push through a replacement for Sessions. I also think Mueller has sealed indictments ready to unseal if Rosenstein is fired.
American comedian Stephen Colbert started his show last night with a re-enactment of the published tape. The audio is the real McDougal tape whilst the visual is a typical Colbert spoof of the scene.
