Depends what you read... where you read.... jet....

Internally in the US.... you'll get Spin and suchlike.

In the Bigger World..... like 90%.... Trump has demeaned and weakened US Respect.

THAT IS IMPORTANT.

Small countries, small politicians can LAUGH at the US because of Trump.

More importantly the 100's of small countries can be seduced by China or Russia whilst they laugh at Trump's New America.

SAD... as he would say

I suspect that most countries worked out that Trump was an aberration and have hunkered down to ride out the storm. China and Russia, of course, are taking full advantage of Trump's ineptness. It will take years to rebuild the State Department and we will be hard pressed to maintain influence in the Middle East. God knows what we can do to repair environmental damage and avoid a worldwide economic meltdown. I am going to hope that all the judges being stuffed into our courts will turn out to be committed to maintaining well established precedents. My experience of both extremely liberal lawyers and judges and of very conservative lawyers is that all have a real reverence and commitment to the law. Those who rise to the judiciary are almost always people of great integrity in my experience.

Mueller's report will really put the congressional Republicans on the spot. Do they dare protect Trump in the face of persuasive evidence of felonies? What if Mueller has uncovered clear evidence of collusion and treason? It will be interesting to see whether Trump's approval rating withers as news of Cohen's assertions is digested. We know that Cohen very likely taped the conversations about paying off Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels. Attorney-client privilege does not apply when the pair conspire to commit crimes. This from www.Nolo.com:

Quote:
Past and Future Misbehavior

Discussions of previous acts are generally subject to the attorney-client privilege. If, for example, if a client tells his lawyer that he robbed a bank or lied about assets during a divorce, the lawyer probably can’t disclose the information.

But if a client initiates a communication with a lawyer for the purpose of committing a crime or an act of fraud in the future, the attorney-client privilege typically doesn’t apply. Likewise, most states allow—or require—attorneys to disclose information learned from a client that will prevent death or serious injury. Many have a similar rule where revealing otherwise confidential information would prevent or remedy financial injury due to a crime or fraud.

Example: In a civil suit regarding allegedly stolen funds, the judge orders the defense to turn over to the plaintiff documentation of conversations between the defendant and his attorney. The defense argues that the attorney-client privilege applies, and that the documents are protected. But the documents relate to plans between the defendant and the attorney to misappropriate funds belonging to the plaintiff. Because the communications were for the purpose of committing fraud, they aren’t privileged. (Both v. Frantz, 278 Ga. App. 556 (2006).)

Example: A client calls his divorce lawyer and tells the lawyer that he plans to kill his wife’s boyfriend. After getting off the phone, the lawyer calls the police and reports the client’s statement. But before the police can find him, the client kills the boyfriend. Because the state ethics code permitted the lawyer to disclose the information in question, the lawyer was allowed to report the client’s statements. In addition, the lawyer’s report of the statements is admissible at the defendant’s trial. (Shorter v. State, 33 So. 3d 512 (Miss. Ct. App. 2009).)

Cohen had no obligation to admit election fraud. It was not a part of the plea deal.

Cohen's lawyer: Cohen has information of interest to Meuller. Would not accept a pardon

Resign Two-Scoops. It's over.

Less dramatically, Trump is approaching the November elections as "the real jury". Maybe the Dems win the House, maybe not. If they don't Trump will claim victory, and he may well fire Sessions and "clean house" at the Justice Department, installing grifters and flunkies.

We've already seen that a potential Supreme Court justice has been willing to say ridiculous things to gain Trump's favor . . . no shortage of folks who'll do his bidding.
