Media Speculation that Kohen Will Turn State's Evidence

It seems there were rumors last week that Kohen, Trump’s personal attorney was going to “flip” on the President and turn state’s evidence.   Kohen has denied it.  If Kohen is pardoned he’ll lose his fifth amendment rights against self incrimination and been subpoenaed to testify and say anything and everything about the President and he’ll have no choice in the matter.  This must be weighing on President Trump’s mind as he considers a possible pardon.  Of course it was said a couple weeks ago that pardoning Scudder Libby was a message to Kohen that if he plays ball, all will be well.  The media can sometimes get carried away with a rumor. 

Mike Pompeo was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations committee today.  There was talk that the vote was going to fail because the democrats are so furvant and perswasive and if it failed that Senator Mitch Mc Connell would break with precedent and bring it to a vote on the floor anyhow.  Jurors in the Bill Cosby trial will be voting on the verdict now.  In Toronto there was a guy who mowed down a bunch of pedestrians on a sidewalk with his car.  My guess that it could be because it’s spring and the weather is warmer and people are out and about now.

Kate Middelton gave birth to an eight pound three ounce boy this morning.  The royal birth was celebrated with a lot of pomp and ceremony.  I had heard the baby wouldn’t be born till June.  But then on Saturday I heard that it was hoped that the baby would be born in time for the Queen’s birthday.  The new Royal is the fifth in line for the throne behind his older brother George, and his sister, Charolette, who is three and likes to wave to the audience.  Now the girls don't have to go behind every male heir as is the tradition.   In other news Bill Cosby won’t be testifying on his own behalf.  I guess that’s a wise move in this day and age because of our legal system and it worked for OJ.   In other news I got my “The Week” magazine, which talked a lot about James Comey.  It seems like it’s the first “The Week” magazine I’ve gotten on two weeks and probably more.

This waffle house in Nashville is in the news because yesterday morning there was this nude guy wearing only a jacket pulled a gun and allegedly shot only black people at the eating establishment.  But one brave customer knocked the gun out of his hand and the guy was Black and on the news showing modesty.   I don’t know what “message” the gun man was trying to convey.  He made his escape and was on the run but then they arrested him earlier today.  Of course if it’s a white guy they call him a psychopath and not a “terrorist”.  If he had said “Allah Achvar” then they would have called him an Islamic terrorist and President Trump would put the whole country on military alert.  Harley Davidson has an intern program where all you have to do is to ride around on a Harley for three months and then you get to keep the motorcycle.

Earth Day made the news yesterday.  In Chicago it has finally warmed up a little.  The temperature had been averaging around forty but now it’s averaging fifty-five degrees.  They say that it is cooler by the lake rather than away from it.   Bill, my roommate has bee
