I have been briefed on the U.S. C-130 “Hercules” cargo plane from the Puerto Rico National Guard that crashed near Savannah Hilton Head International Airport. Please join me in thoughts and prayers for the victims, their families and the great men and women of the National Guard.

“This isn’t some game. You are screwing with the work of the president of the United States.” John Dowd, March 2018. With North Korea, China, the Middle East and so much more, there is not much time to be thinking about this, especially since there was no Russian “Collusion.”

On Wednesday, The News Blender reported that Special Counsel Mueller had, on March 5th, explained to John Dowd that he could, if need be, subpoena President Trump in order to compel him to answer Mueller’s questions.
As everybody is aware, the past Administration has long been asking for three hostages to be released from a North Korean Labor camp, but to no avail. Stay tuned!

CNN News reported Thursday that the release of three U.S. Nationals currently detained in North Korea is “imminent,” according to a source familiar with the on going negotiations.
The three U.S. Nationals, Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak-song, and Kim Sang Duck, have been held in North Korea for months:
Kim Dong Chul has been in North Korean custody since before Trump was elected, the other two detainees were arrested last spring, after Trump’s inauguration and as tensions between Washington and Pyongyang were beginning to ramp up.

Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA. These agreements are…..

…very common among celebrities and people of wealth. In this case it is in full force and effect and will be used in Arbitration for damages against Ms. Clifford (Daniels). The agreement was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair,……

…despite already having signed a detailed letter admitting that there was no affair. Prior to its violation by Ms. Clifford and her attorney, this was a private agreement. Money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll in this transaction.

Michael Cohen is/was President Trump’s personal attorney. Prior to the election, Cohen paid Stormy Daniels (aka Ms. Clifford), a payment of $130,000 dollars. The payment was in exchange for Daniels remaining silent about an “affair” she had with President Trump and came just weeks before the 2016 election.
Cohen has admitted to the press he did pay her the money, “Out of his own pocket”, and President Trump had “no knowledge of the payment.”
On Wednesday, Rudy Giuliani was interviewed by Sean Hannity of Fox News, and said they didn’t break the law because President Trump paid the money back:
When I heard Cohen’s retainer of $35,000.00 when he was doing no work for the president I said that’s how he’s repaying that’s how he’s repaying it with a little profit and a little margin for paying taxes for Michael.
Last month, Michael Cohen’s office was raided pursuant to a FBI warrant. Shortly after, via Reuters, it was revealed that Cohen had been the subject of a criminal investigation for months leading up to the seizure of business records by the FBI. Shortly after the public learned Cohen was under criminal investigation, the public also learned the secret identity of one of Cohen’s clients, Sean Hannity, Fox News show host.
