The good news is that after looking at these Tweets and the responses, I have discovered that #Obummer #Libtards and #Democraps are all supposedly legitimate hash-tags. Who knew?

So let me see if I have this straight, if I commit loads of crimes and confess them all to my lawyer according to Trump anything I said to him is secret even from the police?
Also I can somehow claim attorney client privilege if he just happens to be in the same room as me so in theory I could rob a bank and invite him along and somehow they can't question me because of that privilege? That seems like a rather giant loophole in the law that I'm surprised bank robbers hadn't thought of.

I think he's confusing it with Catholic confession.

Mini E I think you're begining to see just how batshit mental US politics is.
Many US conservatives are completely unwilling to see the other side in a debate and will just claim they're right and everyone else is a communist who hates America and wants free stuff. They are 100% convinced they are the rightful rulers of America and any switch from what they consider right is unAmerican and they have no problem claim liberalism is a mental disorder.
They are the people who know exactly what the founders wanted and the founders were perfect and their word should never be questioned.

With US politics on Twitter these days it's difficult to know who's a genuine nutter and who's a fake account/bot.

I genuinely try to stay away from it under the *ignorance is bliss* self-preservation strategy. The past 18 months in particular have brought me to the unfortunate realisation that this isn't really a tenable course of action any more.

Trump sounds like he is absolutely shitting himself! :lol:

On the Hogg thing I'm genuinely impressed at what a great public speaker he is. Maybe we have been conditioned these last couple of years by truly horrendous public speakers like Trump or Maybot, but Hogg seems to have a rare natural talent.

That said, there should be a duty of care on the people putting him on the platform. He is young and is prone to saying some quite dumb stuff, and the reaction from the right is not at all surprising. I hope they have put a support network in place for the guy.

Being photoshopped as a Nazi is a particularly nasty thing to do. Ironic as the right seem to get so upset about the left calling them Nazis and then do it themselves. It's a really lazy jibe and for me just loses any impact.

Michael Cohen to CNN: FBI was 'professional, courteous, respectful' in raids, counter to Trump's depiction

In his first comments since the FBI raid on his home and office, Michael Cohen said the FBI agents "were extremely professional, courteous and respectful."

The comments contrast with President Donald Trump who complained Monday that agents "broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys."

"I am unhappy to have my personal residence and office raided. But I will tell you that members of the FBI that conducted the search and seizure were all extremely professional, courteous and respectful. And I thanked them at the conclusion," Cohen said in a phone conversation on Tuesday with CNN.

Asked if he was worried, Cohen said; "I would be lying to you if I told that I am not. Do I need this in my life? No. Do I want to be involved in this? No."
The raid was "upsetting to say the least," he added.

Cohen did not fault the FBI agents who conducted the raid at his house, office and a hotel where he is temporarily staying.

Cohen would not comment further on the raid, but acknowledged the raids and attention have had an impact on his family. He wants the investigation to be over and continues to say everything he did in regards to paying Stormy Daniels for the non-disclosure agreement was perfectly legal.

He said that he is very loyal to Trump but after what happened on Monday, he'd rethink how he handled the payments to Daniels because of the impact on his family.

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/10/poli ... index.html

Contradicting Trump's depiction of events? Saying positive things about the FBI? Speaking to CNN first? Trump can't be happy with this, I wonder if Cohen is going to give the FBI something to save his own skin?

Cohen probably knows that the FBI has him dead to rights on something serious, or he wouldn't be talking like that. Definitely going into save-his-own-skin mode.

Well gooseberry fool. If Rosenstein is replaced by an amoral toady like Pruitt, we can kiss the FBI investigation goodbye.

Trump latest tweet :dread:

Is he actually going to escalate this to draw attention away from the Mueller probe?
