Not exactly words that scream innocence from Trump's personal lawyer.

(27,523 posts)The Mueller team seems to be very proficient at flipping people. And if he is so stupid as to take the bullet, lose his license and do prison time, thinking trump* will take care of him and his family, he's a fool.

(3,194 posts)All of those who actually believe there is a chance he's going to turn on Drumpf, have no clue what they're thinking. Cohen is part of the cult, and cult members don't turn on one another.

2. Prison is a far better fate than crossing Donald Trump and/or the people he does business with.

(62,734 posts)Told him it might all eventually boil down to Cohen doing 20 years and not seeing his kids grow up, or turning on the man who created this mess.
Donny Duetsch said Cohen is really a likeable person, in spite of the nasty persona he shows on TV.
SonofDonald
(2,050 posts)That sure seemed like his biggest fan, Cohen that is, not one bad word or thought about cohen, I don't know why he had her on because she wasn't reporting on an interview she had with cohen, she was literally defending him.

(18,272 posts)You write a story that has Mr. Trumps name in it, with the word rape, and Im going to mess your life up
for as long as youre on this frickin planet
youre going to have judgments against you, so much money, youll never know how to get out from underneath it, Michael Cohen, special counsel to Trump, told The Daily Beast reporter Tim Mak.
I will make sure that you and I meet one day while were in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still dont have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know, Cohen said. So Im warning you, tread very f****ing lightly, because what Im going to do to you is going to be f***ing disgusting. You understand me?

Crutchez_CuiBono
(7,725 posts)I seem to remember a story about Dons love of recording stuff and using technical(?) equipment to do nasty stuff. Not only did he have all the rooms in Mara Lago set up to a switchboard where he could listen in on everyone, he also had a standard trick he'd use to bed someones wife. Something like hooking the mans wife up w a street walker then getting the woman in his office. he'd call the guy on speaker phone and ask how the hooker was in front of the wife. then while she was reeling(?) from the new found info...take advantage of her. Probably recording that too.This guy is a Class A piece of work, and had wayyyy too much time on his hands and too much money. His buddies like Cohen and the Nixon tattoo guy, (to name two), would encourage him and help w the gymnastics. Just to get laid, or screw over a business partner. Honestly, NOTHING is beyond dt. To think the guy QUIT using the old recording device trick etc. to blackmail people would be the height of fallacy. I'm SURE Cohen knows a LOT of really dark stuff about dt and could talk for days. I would put nothing past dt including having ties to the mob, and possibly information on some missing persons in NY and NJ over the years. The list could be long...but it's about to be finite. Mobsters throwing people out tall building windows, is standard ops.
LiberalFighter
(53,544 posts)Blue_true
(31,261 posts)The guy likely knows a lot. He could be a dead man walking. But Mueller and his team are smart, they are likely five moves ahead of that Trump gang and likely have a lot of phones tapped or have warrants ready to go.
Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)in a little orange jumpsuit...the world looks a little different. You may take a different view of who is your friend and who is not, and of loyalty oaths.
OTOH, it's possible that Trump IS like a mob boss, and Cohen might not be allowed to snitch. Trump, a man who wants to kill the families of terrorists as punishment, might be willing to threaten ruination of the lives of family members.
