Trump’s Personal Fixer Michael Cohen’s Lawyers Have Bailed and He’s Expected to Sing Like 1986 El DeBarge
Orginal article written Weds 6/13/18
Michael Cohen, the president’s longtime fixer who is currently being pressed out by federal prosecutors in New York City, is drinking lemon tea with honey to prep his throat for his rendition of Mahalia Jackson’s “Amazing Grace” and that’s because Cohen is getting ready to sing.
I don’t want to brag, but I predicted this. One of my best traits is how humble I am, especially when I’m winning. I don’t want to make a big deal out of this, but I’m kind of amazing. In short, I am the Ms. Cleo of The Root (call me now).
Enough about me, guys; let’s take a break from my soothsaying to get back to Cohen, whose life is apparently in shambles.
According to ABC News, after his office was raided and over 3.7 million documents seized on April 9, the law firm representing his case has bailed. Up until this point, Cohen had been represented by Stephen Ryan and Todd Harrison of the Washington, D.C., and New York City firm McDermott, Will & Emery LLP. Currently, Cohen has no legal representation, and it’s looking highly likely that he’s going to cooperate with federal prosecutors in New York City.
ABC News believes that “[t]his development, which is believed to be imminent, will likely hit the White House, family members, staffers and counsels hard.”
Trump has already voiced his displeasure with Cohen’s legal jam by tweeting, “Attorney-client privilege is dead!” after learning of the raid on Cohen’s office. He also called the move against his longtime personal attorney a “disgraceful situation.”
“It’s an attack on our country in a true sense. It’s an attack on all we stand for,” the president said at the White House, ABC News reports. “That is really now on a whole new level of unfairness.”
Cohen argued that his attorneys should be allowed to view the seized materials first before federal prosecutors could sift through the slush. Judge Kimba Wood appointed “former federal judge Barbara Jones to act as a ‘special master’ to conduct an impartial review of the materials and to referee any disputes between Cohen and the government. Trump and the Trump Organization intervened in the case and were also granted access to review the materials for potentially privileged items,” ABC News reports.
Only 162 of the first 300,000 cases Jones reviewed could be covered by attorney-client privilege, and only three items that Cohen or the Trump Organization had designated as privileged were removed.
So now we wait for Cohen to hit the stage and dedicate the DeBarge classic “Time Will Reveal” to Trump right before he Boston Tea Parties all over the stage.

Texas Woman Says ‘Swimming While Black’ Led to Racist Harassment of Her 5-Year-Old Daughter at Pasadena Hotel Pool
An African-American woman says she and her daughter were exposed to “blatant racism” when a man asked them if they had taken a shower before going swimming at a Pasadena hotel pool.
The incident occurred Monday, when the woman was with her 5-year-old daughter and other relatives at The Westin, a 350-room, AAA-rated three-diamond hotel on Los Robles Avenue. The family was visiting Pasadena from Texas.
The woman, who only wanted to be identified by her last name, Wheeler, alleges that a man claiming to be with the “health department” asked her if she and her daughter had showered before entering the pool.
He said he did not want to have to shut the pool down.
A spokeswoman for the Pasadena Health Department said the man in the video is unknown to city health officials, and she said there weren’t any health inspectors at The Westin on Monday or in recent days. Further, inspectors would only contact the business operator, not pool patrons, if there were any sanitation issues, the spokeswoman said.
Health inspectors do not make contact with swimmers to ask whether they’ve showered, Pasadena Health Department spokeswoman Adrienne Kim said.
According to Wheeler, the man continued explaining to her that people often carry diseases into the water. Family members took the girl away from the scene as the altercation continued, Wheeler said.
“I let him know that being black is not a disease and showering would not wash the BLACK off our skin,” Wheeler said in an email to KTLA.
She described the incident as “deep-rooted,” citing the history of racial segregation at public swimming pools in the U.S. dating back to the Jim Crow era.
Wheeler’s relative recorded part of the altercation on cellphone video, which shows the man wearing a stripe polo shirt and track pants – not any kind of uniform.
“I am not trash, and I am not dirty,” Wheeler told KTLA in a phone interview. “I have to teach my daughter that no matter how educated we are and how successful we are in life, there are people who will treat us like this just because the color of our skin.”
The video was posted on Facebook Wednesday night, and has been viewed more than 340,000 times by Thursday afternoon.
A hotel employee tried to intervene by telling the man that his question was “inappropriate,” the video shows. Then the manager arrives and asks the man to walk away, telling Wheeler and her relatives, who remain concerned, to enjoy the pool.
“I don’t want to call the police. And if I do, it’s going to be a big headache for everybody,” the manager says in the video.
The manager promises to go talk to the man, whom he describes as a guest at the hotel.
The Westin comped Wheeler for one night of her stay, she said. Representatives from the hotel released a statement saying they had no comment but are “investigating everything.”

3. The agreement came as the result of an anti-trust case brought against the company in 1974 by the US Department of Justice.
4. The break-up of the Bell System officially became effective two years later in 1984 when it was split into seven different independent Regional Bell operating Companies, informally known as “Baby Bells.”

Actress Rose McGowan Indicted on Felony Cocaine Possession Charge in Virginia
A grand jury indicted actress and activist Rose McGowan Monday on one felony count of cocaine possession, according to Loudoun County, Virginia court documents.
McGowan voluntarily surrendered to authorities in Virginia in November in response to an arrest warrant. She later pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority obtained the warrant in February last year after authorities allegedly found traces of narcotics in her personal belongings that were left behind on a United flight in January to Washington, D.C.
McGowan tweeted about incident, asking, “Are they trying to silence me?”
“There is a warrant out for my arrest in Virginia,” she wrote. “What a load of HORSES**T.
McGowan is one of the more than 80 women who have accused former producer Harvey Weinstein of acts of sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape.
Through a spokesperson, Weinstein has consistently denied any allegations of “non-consensual sex.”
According to a report published by The New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow in November, police said a worker cleaning the plane found McGowan’s wallet, and in it were two small bags of powder that later tested positive as cocaine.
McGowan told Farrow that she was afraid when an airport police detective called her to retrieve her wallet, as she was unsure whether he was actually a detective.
McGowan’s spokesperson confirmed to CNN the accuracy of her published quotes at the time.
McGowan, who was traveling to Washington for the Women’s March when the incident occurred, said the next day she received an Instagram message from a user she did not know that read, “You left your wallet on your Saturday flight with your 2 bags of coke.”
The “Charmed” star and her attorney assert that she left her bag containing her wallet on the plane unattended. McGowan said she filed a lost luggage claim and tweeted United Airlines for help when she realized her wallet was missing, according to The New Yorker’s report.
On October 30, McGowan first publicly responded to the existence of the warrant on Twitter.
McGowan told Farrow she has used drugs in the past, but said marijuana was her “jam.”
“Imagining I’m going into sisterly solidarity, I can think of nothing more opposed to that, energetically, that I would want in my body at that moment,” she said referring to the cocaine.
A May cover story with The Hollywood Reporter included comment from McGowan about the fact she faced a maximum of 10 years in prison if convicted, while Weinstein remained free.
“I’m the only one who’s had handcuffs on me so far in this situation,” she told the publication. “That’s not right.”
Weinstein has since been arrested on charges of rape, committing a criminal sex act, sexual abuse and sexual misconduct in New York for which has pled not guilty. The charges are unrelated to McGowan’s allegations against him.
CNN has reached out to McGowan’s representatives for comment.

Video shows mom smashing school bus window with hammer as students scream
GLENDALE, Wis. – Prosecutors say a Wisconsin parent was caught on camera taking a hammer to a school bus as the students inside screamed in terror.
Surveillance cameras from inside a Nicolet High School bus in Glendale captured the wild scene, which took place in April after a woman learned that her daughter had just been in a fight with another girl, according to WITI.
The video shows a girl in an olive shirt walk up to another girl in pink and throw a punch. The girl in the pink hits back and the two continue to exchange blows for more than a minute.
Both girls then called their mothers to tell them what happened, according to WITI. That’s when things took a shocking turn.
While still on the route near Mill Road and Willow Glen Court in Glendale, video shows a car swerve in front of the bus. Police would later identify the woman behind the wheel as the mother of one of the girls, 33-year-old Magan Gumbus.
Gumbus allegedly walked up to the bus with a hammer and started banging on the door.
The bus driver called into dispatch as she continued driving.
Bus driver to dispatch: “This parent has got a hammer at my door. This lady crazy.”
Gumbus cut off the bus again — and banged the hammer a second time, causing the glass to break.
Bus driver to dispatch: “I cannot let nobody off this bus. I cannot let nobody off this bus.”
Gumbus’ daughter began screaming to let her off the bus — and even used a broom to try to bust out the window, according to WITI. The bus driver finally obliged.
In an interview with police, Gumbus said she had a “meltdown” when the bus driver wouldn’t let her daughter off the bus — adding that “her goal was not to attack or beat up any kids.”
WITI received a statement from Nicolet School District and Riteway Transportation Company:
“The Nicolet School District and GO Riteway have a shared commitment to ensure student safety. Immediately following the incident on April 25 the District talked to the families of every student on the bus to ensure they had been dropped off at home safely.
The bus driver responded according to GO Riteway’s established safety protocols. Not knowing the intent of the individual pursuing the bus, the driver followed instructions from the GO Riteway Road Safety Supervisor to continue driving in order to protect the wellbeing of the students on the bus.”
Gumbus has been charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct. The teens were both issued disorderly conduct citations.
Babysitter left child in 120-degree van for two hours to run errands, police say
ALHAMBRA, Calif. – Police rescued a distressed 6-year-old from a locked van inside which the temperature had climbed well above 100 degrees in Alhambra, California on Tuesday, officials said.
Authorities found the young boy crying and sweating profusely after being tipped off to his presence just before 2:20 p.m. by a concerned passerby, the Alhambra Police Department said in a news release.
The van’s doors were locked and the windows rolled up as it sat parked in the 700 block of East Valley Boulevard while the child’s babysitter ran errands and ate at a restaurant, police said.
Officers were able to pull the boy from the vehicle, which authorities said had an interior temperature of 120 degrees at the time. He had allegedly been in the car for two hours.
Paramedics responded and transported the child to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation, police said.
An Alhambra resident named Helen Law, 60, identified herself as the boy’s babysitter as officers were searching for his parents. She was subsequently arrested on suspicion of felony child endangerment, officials said.
She was being held on $100,000 bail at the Alhambra jail and scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, June 14, inmate records show.
Police are continuing to investigate the incident.
Man arrested after allegedly beating girlfriend with hammer, setting her on fire at UWS home
UPPER WEST SIDE, Manhattan — A man who allegedly beat his girlfriend with a hammer and then set her on fire, leaving her for dead inside an Upper West Side apartment Tuesday has been arrested, police say.
Larry McGloster, 26, of Columbus Avenue, is charged with attempted murder, assault, arson and criminal possession of a weapon.
Officers responded just after 11:45 a.m. to the report of arson at an apartment building located at 825 Columbus Ave., police said.
When they arrived, officers found a 32-year-old woman with injuries consistent with being burned, police said. She was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Police sources said the victim was attacked with a hammer before she was set ablaze.
Resident Bonnie Chapman told PIX11 News that the victim, while on fire, knocked on several apartment doors on the eighth floor of the building looking for help.
“She just kept saying, ‘Help, please, somebody help me, help me,'” Chapman said. “That’s all she kept saying.”
Chapman’s was the only door to open.
“I had to look out of my door and then I see her on fire,” she said. “I mean, she was on fire.”
The victim fell to the ground as the flames intensified.
“She was in a fetal position,” Chapman said.
Chapman said she then grabbed a sheet and extinguished the fire then called 911.
The victim was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
