MSNBC Nicole Wallace just did like an hour segment with Michael Cohen, and it's amazing

When it comes up on her page, or on youtube, I highly recommend it.

He says things plainly and drops names and makes predictions like no one else. He's already done the time, and has nothing left to lose.

MSNBC does post a compilation of all the segments they offer, but not till the next day - no longer "breaking news." The Michael Cohen interview I posted was from Nicolle's show earlier tonight.

She put aside her interview questions and did a lot of follow up to his comments. She has a real skill at pulling information from people but he was more than willing to give it. He’ll be back in Oct when his new book comes out.

Interesting to compare how 'past Trumpsters' are doing their 'redemption walk' - specifically thinking of Cohen and Barr.

just a thought about what to watch for/expect regarding all of the MAGAts that have to figure out what to do now that it seems that it is TRULY about to 'hit the fan!'
SO many have to figure out what to put on their 'resume' - probably contingent upon to whom they might be sending it!
It'll be interesting to see how the RW powers 'take care of their own' as the pressure on their political status increases.

We KNOW that tRump will let anybody and everybody hang out to dry - yeah, family included - but the fun will be watching what the other power bases in the RepubliQan party do with their 'tainted soldiers.'

Cohen was a lifelong Democrat who was seduced into tfg's sphere, and later regretted and mea culpa'd his way to redemption.

Barr? Completely different.

He told about how the NY AG subpoenaed him for his financial records and he refused to give them to her. He went thru the process all the way to the Supreme Court and lost each time. Then, then! He refused to give the AG his financial records. He told her he had no more records to give her.

But, Cohen said, whether it is true or not, that the FBI found those financial records in Mar-a-Lago. A clear case of obstruction of justice.

If that is true, I cannot imagine the DOJ turning those records back over to Trump?

Haven’t read his book(s) —I think one soon to be released—so maybe some of this had been reported, but the NDA he wouldn’t sign, presented by probation officer!!!!, so then sent back to prison. WTF!

it is incredible how many people from the past administration AND those related in media coverage are now revealing 'details' from past incidents/events in their 'soon-to-be-published' books!

HEY, if something 'nasty' - shady - illegal - 'WTF' was going on - YOU HAD A DUTY TO REPORT IT!!!!!!!

If you were a government employee - you took an oath. If ANYTHING you saw was against your 'sworn oath' - YOU NEEDED TO REPORT IT!

If you were a journalist (hello, Maggie - you out there?) and you had information that could lead to some charges of CRIMINAL ACTIVITY - YOUR JOB was to report it!

DAMMIT, I HATE that these FASCISTS are willing to sell out our country just to sell more books....

So he definitely has an insider's knowledge of the operation.

He may have nothing left to lose, but what does he have to gain? It looks like his income is now based on media appearances like this one.

I don't really doubt what he says, but he does have financial and revenge motives. He is not the most impeccable witness based on character and motive.

However, he is still a very valuable source, able to provide avenues of investigation to be verified by the Justice system.
