Common misconception. It's a corruption of "There is no honor among thieves." Proverbs 21:10


THAT would make more sense...………………………...one good reason why should act strictly on your own when engaging in criminal activity. :) The down side is it might make a lot of 'jobs' quite difficult.

The idea comes from fiction that glorifies criminals, suggesting that they don't cheat each other, either through some twisted code of honor or from realization that it's a pretty good way to get dead.

Maybe there is some truth to the old adage "Crime does not pay". :)

Are you threatening his life?
THAT is how Trump supporters "think". Threats and bellicose language is their norm. It is not enough that he is already going to jail.....or that he and his family is being threatened........( oh that wonderful trumpian way of doing things) In fact many of them (supporters are horrifically threatening and hostile to him and family via social media........ etc. Like their dear leader who has no problem being a vile socipath.

It is obvious that Cohen's own personality weaknesses allowed him to get caught up in that mafia style Trump world until he was caught....... charged etc.
The fact is the Cohen has a mother load of info about Trump and was being more tactful than he needed to be today. No one is excusing his previous behavior...... but the horrific vindictiveness is just sick. The republicans made asses of themselves today........ even more than usual. When one listened to them attack Cohen........like the verbal savages they were........ it makes a mockery of the Republican party . They did not want information that was available to them via Cohen......they just wanted to ATTACK him......... ie doing their leaders work for him. The Southern ones were the worst. ( like religious zealots )

One can see why Trump had Cohen around so long. He comes across as being fairly easily manipulated. Trump surrounds himself with persons with character flaws as he can use them as he wishes.

Same guy said it was too bad some of those bombs sent to democrats didn't go off.

It is getting to the point where someone really should have that looked into

The Republicans wouldn't do it...... they are too busy defending, supporting ( as if under a spell) their psychopathic leader.......as if under some evil spell. ( evil because their dear leader uses threats to control those around him , and just about every one he deals with.

Psychopaths have that kind of persona......... they can charm, seduce, manipulate , praise ,ignore the rules and get away with it.....and folks fall for it........They can be very charismatic........ but have hardly any sincerity, believe they are above everyone else and have no remorse for misdeeds........(misdeeds as society defines them.. They have an exaggerated sense of entitlement. People are dispensable. and only useful ......until they are not.

Honestly, I don't know CS........but all the documents and checks he is producing might serve to back up some of what he says. One thing is for sure, the Reps on the committee are in full-on attack mode.


I'm left wondering what exculpatory or mitigating documents Cohen excluded, Mowich. Since he has vowed to tell the 'whole' truth, and not that which corresponds to his agenda of villainizing Trump, that too would qualify as perjury. Cohen has let it be known he is fishing around for a book deal as well as a reduction of sentense and he is well aware he has to appeal to a certain political or juridical segments to achieve either.

Oh, piss off.

I'll tell you something, Hoid. If JLM and I ever got to the point where we were so steamed at each other that it just had to come to a physical confrontation, I'd probably travel to him, we'd meet at a bar, have a beer together, talk some, and if we still just HAD to do it, go out in the parking lot, swap a few punches, then go back inside and get to some serious drinking.

Because for all our differences and disagreements, we're both civilized men.
