Said company was quick to heavily criticize “The whole enterprise reeks of amateurism and comes off as an attempt to check the box on a harebrained idea that presumably originated in the oval office.”

What an absolute waste of time this whole thing was.

As attorneys for Michael Cohen rush to meet Judge Kimba Wood’s Friday deadline to complete a privilege review of over 3.7 million documents seized in the April 9 raids of Cohen’s New York properties and law office, a source representing this matter has disclosed to ABC News that the law firm handling the case for Cohen is not expected to represent him going forward.
Cohen, now with no legal representation, is likely to cooperate with federal prosecutors in New York, sources said. This development, which is believed to be imminent, will likely hit the White House, family members, staffers and counsels hard.

Which is far more funny.

So Trump, and let none of us forget that he styled himself as the greatest deal maker in the world, seems to have given in on most things that NK wanted and got very little in return. now normally I would be on the side of those that say that its a start, its better than before. But that is trying to omit the fact that Trump himself says he is the deal maker. Yet, in as much as we can tell, it really seems that Trump achieved very little concrete in terms of new commitments from NK. The best that can be said is that although he agreed to both stopping military exercises in the region and pulling out US troops, that both will take ages to actually take effect and weren't that important anyway.
