As desperation sinks in, Cohen throws Hail Mary pass

Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney for Donald Trump who spent years doing television appearances on behalf of the biggest publicity seeking big mouth in modern history, is now trying to get attorney Michael Avenatti thrown off the Stormy Daniels case by seeking a restraining order. Why? Cohen is citing Avenatti’s “unquenchable thirst for publicity.” Seriously. From NBC News:
The motion filed in federal court for the Central District of California relates to a lawsuit brought by Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, against Trump and Cohen seeking to invalidate the non-disclosure agreement she signed in exchange for $130,000 payment made a month before the 2016 presidential election.
The motion claims that "Avenatti's actions are mainly driven by his seemingly unquenchable thirst for publicity," and seeks an order restraining Avenatti "from communicating with the press and/or public regarding the merits of this case."
Avenatti responded calling it a “joke.” TO READ MORE CLICK HERE

Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Raj Shah plan to leave

WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 03:  White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders conducts a news conference in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House January 3, 2018 in Washington, DC. Sanders took questions from many reporters about President Donald Trump's statement about former White House Senior Advisor Steve Bannon, in which he said 'When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.'

CBS News is reporting that Press secretary Sarah Sanders and principal deputy press secretary Raj Shah have both let it be known that they’re preparing to leave. Sanders expects to get out by the end of the year. Shah has not yet set a date.
The task of defending Donald Trump’s shifting statements and daily lies first fell to Sean Spicer. The podium was then attended by Anthony Scaramucci, whose term was so short he was gone before he officially began. Though it may seem as if Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been there for a decent slice of forever, she’s actually been on the job less than a year. She started at the end of July in 2017. Still, she’s outlasted Spicer, who made it only six months before leaving his home in the bushes to run for the exits.

Senator Warren On Mick Mulvaney: This Is The Most Corrupt Administration Ever

The republicans are now calling for the Justice Dept., to end it's "Russia" investigation(s). If this happens the Justice department will be destroyed by a lack of non-partisan pursuit of the enforcement of laws.  That means that the Justice dept., will then be seen as an arm of the political party in power.  With nowhere to turn for non-partisan justice, only the force of arms will hold.  The nation descends into a chaos that will not support our highly sophisticated society (to put it nicely).
