- During the 2016 race, Cohen — who did not have a formal role on the campaign — had a reputation among campaign staff as someone to avoid, in part because he was believed to be secretly taping conversations.
In one instance, Cohen played a recording of a conversation he had with someone else to a Trump campaign official to demonstrate that he was in a position to challenge that person’s veracity if necessary, an associate recalled.
Cohen indicated that he had something to use against the person he had taped, the associate said.
One outside Trump adviser said Cohen may have begun recording his conversations in an attempt to emulate his boss, who has long boasted — often with no evidence — about secretly taping private conversations.

I hope they write the report twice. Once in crayon for Trump, and once in biting scathing criticism of congress for all the shit they are making them do, like frontloading the pensions for 75 damned years. Apologies for the link, which I am certain you shared before, but putting it here for the audience. Who in the Trump administration wants to privatize and kill the USPS? Besides all of them?
And why would he do this if not as a reminder? Maybe Bolton suggested this particular felon. Edit: I'm not sure whether Libby deserved his conviction or not, but the timing of this is strange, no?
Since I'm at my self-imposed one-or-less Trump-related Hubski post per day, I'mma leave this one here: Sources: Mueller has evidence Cohen was in Prague in 2016, confirming part of dossier If that turns out to be true, things are going to start rapidly unraveling. And from what I've gathered, McClatchy really knows their shit. The other yuge thing today was that the DOJ Office of the Inspector General finally released their report on McCabe. It's 40+ pages, which should guarantee enough content for every media outlet to pick and choose passages to suit their agenda.
