    Anything and Everything is possible when one prefers to hide behind the shield of “DEMOCRACY”!

    So being - almost - in the SAME [corrupt] boat; when will Lulla be expected to invite Trump or vice versa?

    “Federal prosecutors are investigating Cohen for possible bank and tax fraud, and for possible campaign law violation in connection with the Stormy Daniels payment, and perhaps other matters having to do with foreign support to Trump’s 2016 campaign, a second source familiar with the investigation said.”

    One cannot hide behind 'attorney client privilege' if a crime has been committed by the lawyer. I am not even sure there can be a case for attorney client privilege when the lawyer said he was not acting on Trump's instructions and Trump claims he knew nothing about it.

    The closer the investigation gets to the prize the more panicked Trump gets.
