BREAKING: Michael Cohen’s Business Partner Flips – Dirty Cop Mueller Hopes to Use Him to Squeeze Trump Lawyer

Evgeny A. Freidman, Michael Cohen’s business partner in a taxi cab venture quietly decided to cooperate with the government as a potential witness to avoid jail time.

Robert Mueller could then use this as leverage to pressure Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen to work with the Special Counsel investigation into ‘Russian interference.’

The New York Times reports:

A significant business partner of Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s personal lawyer, has quietly agreed to cooperate with the government as a potential witness, a development that could be used as leverage to pressure Mr. Cohen to work with the special counsel examining Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Under the agreement, the partner, Evgeny A. Freidman, a Russian immigrant who is known as the Taxi King, will avoid jail time, and will assist government prosecutors in state or federal investigations, according to a person briefed on the matter.

FBI agents raided Michael Cohen’s office and residence recently looking for ways to get Trump’s lawyer to flip.

Since the raid, Cohen’s bank records have leaked to the public through Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti.

Others in Cohen’s inner circle have been a target of investigators in an effort to get Cohen to cooperate with Robert Mueller.

Mr. Freidman has been Mr. Cohen’s partner in the taxi business for years, managing cabs for him even after New York City regulators barred Mr. Freidman last year from continuing to manage medallions.

Mr. Freidman, who was disbarred earlier this month, had been accused of failing to pay more than $5 million in taxes and faced four counts of criminal tax fraud and one of grand larceny — all B felonies. Each carries a maximum prison sentence of up to 25 years in prison.

Instead, he appeared in court in Albany on Tuesday and pleaded guilty to a single count of evading only $50,000 worth of taxes; he faces five years of probation if he fulfills the terms of his agreement, the judge, Patrick Lynch of Albany County court, said during the roughly 20-minute proceeding.

Since Mueller has nothing on President Trump and his so-called collusion with the Russians, his team of hack lawyers have focused on anyone connected to Trump in an effort to destroy people’s lives.

The US Embassy in Israel has demanded an apology from Israel’s Achiya organization for taking advantage of US envoy David Friedman by presenting him a photo of Jerusalem with Third Temple photoshopped on the Temple Mount.

US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman was photographed Tuesday being presented with a wide-format picture of Jerusalem during his visit to the Israeli city of Bnei Brak. The picture, however, had been modified: the al-Haram ash-Sharif compound, which today includes two of Islam's holiest mosques, including Jerusalem's trademark Dome of the Rock, has been replaced with a temple of an entirely different design.

The temple on the picture turned out to be a computer model of the Third Temple, a Jewish sanctuary prophesied to be constructed on a spot where the two Biblical Temples once stood. Construction of the Third Temple is a centuries-long desire expressed in many Jewish prayers.

The photo immediately sparked fierce criticism from the Muslim world, with Saeb Erekat, secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), saying Friedman expressed "rude and hypocritical behavior," according to PNN, a group of independent Palestinian journalists.

According to PNN, Erekat noted that the smile of the US ambassador on the photo "shows approval to what the arrogant Israelis are planning."

Lawmaker Ahmad Tibi from the Israeli Arab-dominated political alliance Joint List responded to the photo, saying: "And this madman wants to bring peace — good thing you didn't put the embassy there," Haaretz reports.

However, after a short while, the US embassy issued a statement in which it distanced itself from the picture and the people behind it.

According to the statement, Friedman "was not aware of the image thrust in front of him when the photo was taken. He was deeply disappointed that anyone would take advantage of his visit to Bnei Brak to create controversy."

The envoy's office demanded an apology from Achiya, the organization that pulled off the demarche.

"‎The US policy is absolutely clear: we support the status quo on the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount," the statement said.

Achiya is based in Bnei Brak and focuses on providing "educational and developmental intervention for children with learning disabilities," as stated on its website.

Achiya reacted to the embassy's statement swiftly, saying that the man who presented the picture acted on his own behalf.

"We wish to thank the ambassador Mr. David Friedman and the staff members for their professionalism and courtesy… regretfully the entire event was marred by a cheap political act, the responsible staff member was identified and apologizes and we will deal with the matter internally in the organization," Achiya said in its statement.

Friedman already had a record of controversy before this event. A supporter of Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory, he has also called on the US State Department to stop calling the West Bank "Israeli-occupied territory."

In September 2017, the US State Department had to publicly distance itself from Friedman's remarks, with spokesperson Heather Nauert saying, "Our position on that hasn't changed. The comment does not represent a shift in US policy."

If Friedman intended to question the status of the West Bank, such an intention does not represent official American policy, Nauert explained at the time.

Texas Democrat Candidate Arrested After Threatening Fellow Democrat with 'Zetas' Cartel.. Real Life..

A candidate for Maverick County judge in Eagle Pass, Texas, was arrested in connection with a threat he allegedly made claiming he would send a Mexican cartel against the county’s Democratic Party chairman. In the region where the threat was made, Los Zetas Cartel is responsible for hundreds of disappearances where victims from both sides of the border were kidnapped, murdered, and incinerated.

This week, Maverick County Justice of the Peace David Castañeda issued an arrest warrant against Democratic candidate Rudy Bowles on the charge of making terroristic threats, Eagle Pass Texas News reported. Bowles turned himself in and has since been released on bond. The candidate was running a campaign calling out alleged corruption under the leadership of incumbent Maverick County Judge David Saucedo, who is also a Democrat.

The threat appears to be related to a phone call and voicemail that Bowles made to Democratic Party Chair Luis Ruiz,
