BLOOD IN THE WATER: Nat'l Enquirer Chief FLIPS on Trump
With Michael Cohen staring down a 3 year prison sentence on account of Robert Mueller’s investigatory scope, it looks as though some of the other snakes in the grass are slithering forth to throw themselves at the feet of the Special Counsel.
First, we mustn’t forget that the sniveling of Michael Cohen netted him 3 years that he doesn’t need to begin until March, and that could be reduced still through further cooperation with Mueller and his army of scattered lawyers.  That is exactly the sort of bait that gets a man like Michael Cohen moving.
It seems that others in the immediate vicinity of Donald Trump and Michael Cohen are turning fearful as well…
The company that publishes the National Enquirer admitted that it paid $150,000 hush money to silence alleged mistresses of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump prior to the 2016 election, prosecutors said Wednesday.
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.
“As a part of the agreement, AMI admitted that it made the $150,000 payment in concert with a candidate’s presidential campaign, and in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate,” according to a statement by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York.
These allegations are not connected in any way to the intent of the Robert Mueller investigation, which was clearly to examine the possibility of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
