Cohen will honor his subpoena. Lanny Davis, his attorney, says the "mentally unstable" Rudy Giuliani should be investigated for witness tampering and intimidation by threatening Cohen's wife and father-in-law. Giuliani, I'm certain, is just carrying out the directives of the all-time champion of "mentally unstable" who occupies the White House.

Roger Stone has been arrested. He said these seven charges, including obstruction, witness tampering and lying to Congress, were "politically motivated." Yeah, right. While bystanders chanted "Lock him up!" he told reporters he will plead not guilty and will not "bear false witness against the President or make up lies about the President." Hey, Roger, nobody is asking you to lie. All you need to do is tell the truth. Of course telling the truth is next to impossible for Trump and his associates, but.......

"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing." Donald Trump spoke those words at a news conference in 2016, five days after WikiLeaks published a batch of stolen DNC emails. We thought Trump was joking. We now know he wasn't. The Russian military officials who hacked into servers and stole the emails were the first to be indicted by Robert Mueller. The Trump campaign, seeking to damage Hillary Clinton's campaign, was coordinating with WikiLeaks on the release of those stolen emails. CNN editor Chris Cillizza explains the significance of Roger Stone's indictment and arrest:

Trump responds to Roger Stone's arrest in Mueller investigation
HuffPost US, Jan 25 2019 12:07 PM
President Donald Trump today lashed out on Twitter after his longtime confidant Roger Stone was arrested as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into his 2016 presidential campaign:
"Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Greatest Witch Hunt in the History of our Country! NO COLLUSION! Border Coyotes, Drug Dealers and Human Traffickers are treated better. Who alerted CNN to be there?
8:16 AM - Jan 25, 2019"
Stone, who had repeatedly said that he expected to be indicted, has admitted to being in contact with Russian intelligence officers during Trump's campaign, as well as with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. A seven-count indictment charged him with obstruction of an official proceeding, false statements and witness tampering.

The Tweeter-In-Chief has said many times, and as recently as yesterday, that neither he nor his campaign ever colluded with Russia. Campaign adviser Roger Stone was indicted yesterday on seven felony charges and many political analysts foresee indictments against Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Jr. And today we have this story from Newsweek. But don't forget, there was no collusion. Trump says so.

Trump latches onto conspiracy theory that CNN was tipped off by Mueller about Roger Stone's arrest
Business Insider, Jan 26 2019
President Donald Trump on Friday appeared to perpetuate a conspiracy theory that CNN was tipped off about a raid on his former campaign adviser Roger Stone's Florida home by special counsel Robert Mueller.
The President tweeted, "Greatest Witch Hunt in the History of our Country! NO COLLUSION! Border Coyotes, Drug Dealers and Human Traffickers are treated better. Who alerted CNN to be there?"
The raid, which occurred in concert with Mueller's indictment of Stone, was filmed live by CNN. Subsequently, some conservative media outlets and reporters began questioning whether someone on Mueller's team, which has been extraordinarily tight-lipped thus far, alerted CNN to the raid. David Shortell of CNN said the team was staked out at Stone's home after CNN reporters noticed "unusual" grand jury activities in Washington on Thursday and thought something might be happening.
Stone's indictment has also been expected for some time. He's been in Mueller's crosshairs for months. But these facts and Shortell's account has not stopped conservative media from questioning why CNN was there and pushing unfounded theories Mueller's team tipped the network off.
CNN's communication team replied to Trump's tweet on Friday, stating, "CNN's ability to capture the arrest of Roger Stone was the result of determined reporting and interpreting clues revealed in the course of events. That's called journalism. #FactsFirst."
Trump has a long history of pushing conspiracy theories and his Friday tweet is consistent with that trend. He also reiterated his claim that Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference, which has now seen at least 34 people face charges, is a "witch hunt." CNN is also one of Trump's favorite targets when he bashes the media.

"In Trump world, everybody lies," says Trump Organization executive Louise Sunshine. The Mueller inves has led to the indictments of six Trump associates so far and more indictments are forthcoming. Three Washington Post columnist attempt to explain why Trump's advisers have repeatedly lied to the public, lied to Congress and lied to the FBI -- and many of their lies involved their dealings and interactions with Russia. But don't forget, there was never any collusion -- Trump says so.
Trump's advisers lied over and over again, Mueller says. The question is, why?
