WHAT: Press conference to announce introduction of , Al legislation to reform the MI Emergency Financial Manager law and urge Congressional action to resolve the Flint water crisis.
Lanny Davis is now representing Michael Cohen, former attorney for Trump, who is a financial conduit for Perkins Coie, that paid for the attorney Michael Avenatti. who representing Stormy Daniels and suing Cohen because she alleges that he colluded with her former attorney Keith Davidson to make sure she did not break her Non Disclosure Agreement, or something like that.
So, why would Michael Cohen reach out to Al Sharpton, a media representative of MSNBC, for a very public meeting, that they actually both tweeted, without legal counsel?
Where was Lanny?
I would hope Cohen does not believe good old Al is going to do anything to jeopardize that lucrative contract he has over there at MSNBC.
I most certainly hope Cohen was not shopping around for the services of the National Action Network for the purposes of launching a civil rights propaganda campaign for hire.
What I think is that Mueller found other stuff when Cohen was raided.
I think Cohen was caught with some other surreptitious stuff that is "civil rights" related, but only realized, post hoc. that he did not use his law license very wisely, where Lanny had Cohen reach out, thinking that Al would provide his assistance in plotting and scheming to preserve his Attorney Client Privileges.
Well, at least that is what I see out of this, but, hey, what do I know.
Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s meeting on Friday with Al Sharpton was intended to send a signal to the president, the civil rights activist says.
“Out of all the people he could reach out to, reaching out to me is sending a signal to Mr. Trump and I think, probably, to prosecutors that he was not one who would not deal with someone who has been fighting Donald Trump for decades on social justice issues,” Sharpton said in an interview on MSNBC on Friday.
Sharpton and Cohen met at a restaurant for over an hour on Friday morning, shortly before news broke that months before the 2016 election, Cohen secretly recorded a two-minute conversation with Trump regarding Karen McDougal, a Playboy playmate who allegedly had an affair with Trump in 2006.
The Washington Post reported that Cohen suggested purchasing the rights to McDougal’s story from AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer. AMI paid McDougal $150,000 in August 2016 for her story.
According to The Post, Trump is mostly silent in the recording. At one point he asked Cohen how the payment would be made.
“I received a text from him saying he wanted to meet,” Sharpton said on Saturday. “We met at a public restaurant and we spoke for over an hour. He was very troubled and felt in many ways cast wrongly.”
“And I feel he was saying that he had been abandoned by Mr. Trump,” Sharpton continued, adding: “He was adamant that he was opposed to things that Mr. Trump was doing.”
Sharpton tweeted about his meeting with Cohen shortly after it ended.
“Just spent an hour w/ Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney,” Sharpton wrote. “I bet you’re wondering what we could be talking about! Stay tuned.”
Cohen confirmed the meeting, writing that “I have known Rev for almost 20 years. No one better to talk to!”
Trump blasted his former attorney in an early-morning tweet on Saturday.
“Inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer’s office (early in the morning) – almost unheard of. Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client – totally unheard of & perhaps illegal,” he wrote.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan is reportedly investigating Cohen over his business dealings and possible campaign finance violations. Cohen’s payments to women are reportedly a part of the investigation. Just before the 2016 election, Cohen paid $130,000 to Stormy Daniels, an adult film star who also allegedly had an affair with Trump in 2006.
The FBI raided Cohen’s home, office and hotel room on April 9.
The Children's Trust Funds Predictive Modeling Crap Monster
The Database Offspring of CODIS & SACWIS
Child welfare law, is the foundation of chattel law, more intuitively known as property ownership of humans, but, soon, shall be properly recognized as parental rights.
They discuss universal background checks, yet fail to whisper the challenges in child welfare privacy laws, and the fraud, and the crappy predictive modeling white papers taught in the universities, promulgating more sociopsychological doctrines of human asset management for those beloved racial foreign corporate manifests.
The Privateers want those community data centers, badly.
Do you realize how much money can be had for these foreign Public Private Partnerships to swoop in to save the day with their ready to go, hit the ground running, Social Impact Bond programs to expedite the furtherance of stealin' the children, the land and the votes?
The days of the officer are just about transformed as the Privateers rendition of a private militia, of which this committee previously addressed as sworn v. civilian officers, and did not have a freaking clue to realize those civilian officers are sworn to foreign, privately contracted corporations?
I have published extensively on this crap.
So, how do you stop the tensions between the police and the people?
Uh... I dunno.....how about looking into the original concept of a police officer, and let them "protect and serve" the people....and not the corporation.
See how that works?
Police acquire the raw material from society for the corporation to produce goods to purvey and procure, called poverty.
When you are poor, you will find tensions run high with law enforcement when you are trying to survive, as a victim of a bloodless war.
People are supposed to run for help to the police, to bear of witness as the original sources, the people who are the real victims and the police refer for due process to a finding of fact in challenging the right to bear arms, or rather, to identify violations in the rights to a civil society.
Police are officers of peace, the recordkeepers of the trust, the children's trust.
Look at Detroit.
The Chief of Police sits on the Board of Elections.
Our elections for the last 10 years have been jacked, particularly the 2016 election, the reason for the ongoing DHS investigation into election interference.
The Chief of Police allowed these organized stealin' operations to exist in the City of Detroit, where there is rampant violence.
I consider running human experiments on the people of Detroit as reportable crime, a contributing factor to the conditions of poverty, yet, nothing has been done to protect the people, but I digress.
Gaetz asked about Sharpton calling "african-americans" who do not agree with him "Militant Negroes" and a series of #coloredrevolution statements of "Jews", "white crackas and homos".
This is awesome!
Sharpton is trying to keep the peace as Gaetz surely should have brought in a cocktail or two during the hearing.
Sharpton said he is "an equal opportunity attacker".
See it, say it, particularly when you see a corporation engaging in the stealin' of the children, the land and the votes.
Law Enforcement has internal early warning systems for citizens to file complaints, but not about corporate complaints, which are considered as civil, and not criminal, for fraud or public corruption.
Many officers are only a paycheck away from qualifying for SNAP, something which desperately needs to be discussed because it opens the door for the opportunity of public corruption in privatization.
Chairman John Conyers Judiciary Braintrust: Advancing the Civil Rights Agenda
(DETROIT) – Tomorrow, Friday September 21st, Representative John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) will be hosting a Judiciary Braintrust on Advancing the Civil Rights Agenda. The second braintrust panel will be discussing how the church has historically occupied a central role in the struggle for civil rights in the African-American community. Today, however, new institutions can offer both complimentary and competing visions for African-American politics, creating new opportunities for broadening participation. This braintrust will feature progressive leaders of faith who will discuss the continuing role of the Black Church and its ability to influence the direction of progressive movements.
WHAT: Judiciary Braintrust Panel on Communities of Faith in Progressive Politics
WHERE: Washington Convention Center
Room 145-A
WHEN: Friday, September 21, 2012
1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
WHO: The Honorable John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.)
Reverend Al Sharpton, President and Founder of the National Action Network
The Honorable Susan Johnson Cook, Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom at the U.S. Department of State
Reverend Dr. Wendell Anthony, Fellowship Chapel in Detroit, Michigan and President of the Detroit NAACP

"We are the demon chasers" was the coined theme to kick off the movement.
Now, what this "commitment" is, one can only assume it has to do with John Conyers, Jr., for the simple fact that not one person mentioned his name in speaking upon Voting Rights.
Executing such a daunting task of not saying his name, may be what is the commitment.
Reverend Charles Williams III of Al Sharpton's National Action Network was the first speaker, so his silence should tell you something.
"No justice, no peace" was the mantra throughout the event as they referenced the Civil Rights leaders of yore, and mystically did not once, ever, say my Sweetie's name.
"So, let's march on in the name of our ancestors" was the call to action of Kamala Harris, even though she failed to give any attribution to the legacy of the man who championed Voting Rights.
