Manafort and Cohen lies shake up Mueller investigation as it nears a close

By Mona Austin

A Monday surprise in the Mueller investigation set the tone for Pres. Donald Trump mood before heading to the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  . The special counsel office said they would tear up Paul Manafort's (Trump's former Campaign Chairman) cooperation agreement after determining he lied to the FBI numerous times. This shift suggests Manafort is hiding  something to protect the president  in hopes of being pardoned by  Trump in the future. The probe has been on-going for two years and sources say it is nearly over, but this development may be significant in drawing the conclusion that Trump was also dishonest about his dealings with the Communist nation. 
By Thursday of the same week, it was reported that Michael Cohen, Trump's ex-attorney told a federal judge he lied to at the time to avoid "contradicting the president's messaging."
Trump continues to call the investigation a witch hunt.
Lies from both men implicate the president for a misstep that has yet to be determined in the Russia investigation. He has denied having any relations with Russia in the past.
President Trump is wrong about it not being a problem when he was working on his Moscow Project while campaigning. Doing business with a known adversary, who was accused of hacking the email of a presidential candidate -- who was also his opponent -- is a direct conflict of interest, particularly along the lines of national security. If hacking could take place wth a high level government official such as Hillary Clinton, surely it could affect the citizens of the United States.
The Michael Cohen guilty plea underscores a potential cover up. . .

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
