Get enough Michael Cohen on Ari? He's off the hook today on Meidas Touch

...from 'Political Beatdown' with Michael Cohen and Ben Meiselas, 5 hours ago:

Michael Cohen and Ben Meiselas discuss the latest updates from Michael Cohen’s meetings with the Manhattan District Attorney as well as Trump’s recent post attacking Cohen.



Cohen on pundits mischaracterizing and downplaying the Manhattan prosecution effort:

"You sit and scratch your head and say, wow, who the f**K appointed you judge, jury, and executioner at the same time? How about this? No one.

Nobody gives a shit what you have to say.

Why don't you wait for the indictment to come out? Why don't you read the indictment, and then make a determination...?

How do you know what the district attorney is looking at when even I don't know?


...this is closer to anything in discussion today to what's actually going on right now in Trump prosecutionland in NY.

Cohen is to be taken for who he is, Trump's former fixer, now something akin to a mob informant. Still, a very informative stream of dialogue from Cohen. Great insight. Like watching someone spill it all before the detectives - and Cohen gets to go home tonight.

But, holy shit, this is unvarnished as fark, and strangely entertaining. As Cohen said, "I'm not the one home shitting my diapers right now. Donald is."

...at any rate, he'll be primed and ready to face a regular jury as a witness, for better or worse.
