According to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, Cohen will plead guilty to making false statements to Congress during past testimony, and he will then provide “dozens of hours of testimony” that is “potentially damaging” to the president. While it’s not clear what testimony Cohen will provide, Stephanopoulos says that the special counsel’s office finds the information he’s offering valuable.

https://www.alternet.org/donald-trump-may-have-just-lied-his-way-prison?src=newsletter1098282 Pay close attention to the front page story in  Wednesday’s New York Times  about Paul Manafort’s lawyer cooperating with Trump’s lawyers. It may well prove to be very important news just a short way down the road. This story first appeared at DC Report. Bob Somerby at The Daily Howler, among others, has  poked fun at the piece  since it basically has one key new fact, not the torrent of them we find in so many other important stories about Trump White House intrigues. Its sole named source is Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s television lawyer. Giuliani acknowledged that information gleaned from Manafort’s meetings with FBI agents and prosecutors as a cooperating witness was being passed to Team Trump by Manafort lawyer Kevin Downing. That one fact could well doom Trump’s presidency and perhaps land Trump and others behind bars. As The Times notes, there is nothing illegal about what Down

Rand Paul acknowledged that he had  placed a hold on major funding legislation for Israel , saying he wanted time limits on assistance to the Jewish state. The Kentucky Republican also said he wanted cuts in aid to countries he says are hostile to the United States. “While I’m not for foreign aid in general, if we are going to send aid to Israel it should be limited in time and scope so we aren’t doing it forever, and it should be paid for by cutting the aid to people who hate Israel and America,” Paul’s office said in an statement emailed Tuesday to the media. Paul said he planned to introduce an amendment to the legislation, the United States-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018, in coming days. The bill codifies into law the $38 billion defense aid package

The old individual, who has been identified only by his first name and surname initial (Hans H) for legal reasons, served as an SS guard at the Mauthausen concentration camp, in Austria. Although he was stationed there for only a brief period (second-half of 1944 to early 1945), the man has been accused of "being an accessory to the death of thousands of inmates". More specifically, he is accused of the deaths of a staggering 36,223 people. Mauthausen was a relatively small camp.  The federal prosecutor said that Hans H, who served in as an

( MEMO ) A group of Jewish Americans sued Airbnb Inc on Wednesday in US federal court, accusing the home rental company of religious discrimination over its decision last week to remove listings for about 200 homes in the Israeli-occupied West Bank,  Reuters  reports. The 18 plaintiffs, including Israeli-American families and individuals who said they own or wish to rent affected homes, accused Airbnb of “redlining” Jewish-owned properties while letting Muslims and Christians rent their homes. They said this effectively left Airbnb taking sides in the dispute over the West Bank, where Palestinians hope to establish an independent state and which Israel captured in 1967, along with East Jerusalem. “We don’t believe this lawsuit will succ
