GEORGIAN BUSINESSMAN RELEASES TEXTS WITH COHEN THAT WERE LEFT OUT OF MUELLER REPORT.
DC: A Georgian-American businessman is accusing special counsel Robert Mueller of publishing “glaring inaccuracies and misrepresentations” about rumors of alleged sex tapes of President Donald Trump during a visit to Moscow in 2013.
In a letter sent to Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday, a lawyer for the businessman, Giorgi Rtskhiladze, called on the Justice Department to retract a footnote in Mueller’s report mentioning an Oct. 30, 2016 text message exchange he had with attorney Michael Cohen about a rumored Trump tape.
Rtskhiladze claims that the special counsel’s report inaccurately quotes his text message with Cohen. He says that additional text messages not quoted in the report show that he was doubtful about a rumor he had heard from an associate in Moscow about the existence of a tape.
“We strongly demand that a full and immediate retraction of these falsehoods should be issued forthwith to restore his good name,” wrote A. Scott Bolden, a lawyer for Rtskhiladze. The letter was first reported by Bloomberg News and obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Bolden’s letter takes issue with several parts of the the special counsel’s report, including the quote of Rtskhiladze’s text message as reading: “Stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there’s anything else. Just so you know.”
Rtskhiladze actually wrote that he had “stopped flow of some tapes,” the text messages show.
Rtskhiladze told prosecutors during interviews in 2018 that he was told that the tapes were fake but that he did not communicate that to Cohen, according to Mueller’s report. Cohen told Mueller’s team in a Sept. 12, 2018 interview that he notified Trump about the message from Rtskhiladze.
Rtskhiladze claims that his additional texts with Cohen show that he had no direct knowledge of the tapes and that he saw them as mere rumor, rather than fact. Bolden also says that Rtskhiladze did not hear the rumor first-hand.
“Not sure of the content but person in Moscow was bragging had tapes from Russia trip. Will try to dial you tomorrow but wanted to be aware. I’m sure it’s not a big deal but there are lots of stupid people,” Rtskhiladze wrote in the texts, which were provided to TheDCNF.
“You have no idea,” Cohen replied.
Rtskhiladze responded: “I do trust me.”

Bonus: In March, ‘Comedian’ Tom Arnold secretly recorded Michael Cohen in a phone call where he was complaining about Avenatti, Trump, and his life in general.
MICHAEL COHEN TALKS ABOUT PLEA DEAL, MICHAEL AVENATTI, IN SECRETLY RECORDED PHONE CALL.
Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen walked back parts of his plea deal for financial crimes, while taking shots at fellow disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti, in a phone call secretly recorded by comedian Tom Arnold.
“There is no tax evasion,” Cohen told Arnold in the phone call, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“Look at what’s happening to Avenatti — it’s called karma boomerang,” Cohen also said in the call, which Arnold recorded March 25, without Cohen’s knowledge. “The guy lied about me every single day, right? And the world loved it.”
Cohen pleaded guilty in New York on Aug. 21, 2018, to charges of tax evasion, bank fraud and making an illegal campaign finance violation in the form of a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, the porn star who claimed she had an affair with Donald Trump in 2006. He also pleaded guilty in the special counsel’s probe Nov. 29, 2018, to making false statements to Congress about his efforts to build a Trump-themed skyscraper in Moscow…

I think I may become allergic to popcorn. LOL.
The Mueller Report appears to be just the latest Dossier on Trump. So shady we’re going to need a Mueller Report Report.
No worries. Every g-man retires with honors and full pension.
I also heard on Rush the other day one tidbit the Mueller investigators found that didn’t make it into the report:
During Bill Clinton’s presidency, the Russians recorded many, many “phone sex” conversations between Bill and Monica.
