President Trump on Thursday blasted his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, as a “weak person” for pleading guilty to lying to Congress in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

Trump accused Cohen of “lying” in order to get a reduced sentence.

“He’s trying to get a much lesser sentence by making up the story,” he said, adding “everybody knows about this deal.”

Cohen, who served for years as Trump’s personal lawyer, pleaded guilty on Thursday morning to one count of making false statements to Congress related to his testimony about communications with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.

3. Oh, that's nice. n/t

10. Sorry but that's not the headline I get out of Cohen pleading guilty.

Turn on Sirius 127 to get the progressive viewpoint. This is a big blow to Trump, Michael Cohen has a shithouse full of dirt on Donald Trump. This isn't about Cohen, it's about what Cohen has to say.

21. And the article is about what Trump gets out of Cohen pleading guilty.

2. He's squirming - CNN is showing the video of this statement right now.

5. Excuse me. Excuse me. LOL.

Have a shitty flight, traitor.

4. Drip Drip Drip

I sure hope Mueller moves quickly before trump fires him. Every day we learn something else and it is such a drain on our country.

6. Trump, "everybody knows about this deal."

No Donny the deal that everybody will now know about is the one between
you and the Russians. And you can be sure that Cohen will now be talking
about the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower and the late summer 2016
meeting in Prague between Cohen and Russian agents where Ivanka and
Jared might or might not have been there.

7. :)))))))))))))))))

If the fucker weren't so dangerous it WOULD actually be funny as hell.

[Cracklin Charlie]

14. Dangerous?

He’s afraid to leave the house. Not sure how much danger this one could inflict. His associates, however...

Can’t wait to read some of the great nonfiction books that will be written about his time in the White House.

18. Trump is into "The Odd Father" territory now

Vincent "Chin" Gigante would often engage in bizarre behavior that ranged from chatting with parking meters to pissing on the street.

Despite the fearsome reputation, though, the Chin was probably best known as the Odd Father because he feigned insanity at key junctures, puzzling doctors, frustrating law enforcement officials, and prolonging his reign. It might be hard to envision now, but the crime boss routinely gallivanted around Greenwich Village, Manhattan, in a bathrobe, slippers and floppy hat pulled down low on his head. He was known to urinate in public, play pinochle in storefronts, and even hid a second family from his wife.

8. Lyin' Don the Con just can't keep his fish lips mouth shut!

Cohen is thankfully burying drumpf.

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. Lesser sentence for what, Assface?

Admission of guilt, again?

And so quickly after the breaking news about Cohen, too.

Clean out the White House, top to bottom. Naval Observatory, as well. We are done here.

11. Wouldn't you love to see him arrested at Andrews Air Force base when he returns from the G20?

OMG that would be a video I would watch for a day solid!

12. Trump's mafia demands Omerta!

[Stuart G]

13. Basically Trump is calling Cohen ...A weak person and a liar...

Trump is defining someone as ..."weak" and a "liar"..??? Trump ought to know..

[watoos]

22. Bingo, people are catching on.

Trump is just projecting again.

[demmiblue]

15. Lol... he is desperate:

16. Cohen is one of Trump's "Best people"

Trump hired him, worked with him for years, his management skills and "gut" sucks.

[Bleacher Creature]

17. A sitting POTUS is basically saying "snitches get stitches."

Let that sink in.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. "Cohen is lying, but..."

..."if I did work with Russia, there's nothing wrong with that." He then went on to explain how he was still uncertain that he would win the election and he had to maintain his business. It's like a denial and an admission all in one statement.

To further dig a hole to nowhere he said Cohen was convicted for telling the truth to Congress and is now making up a lie to get the plea bargain.

OJ did a better job in "If I did it", but more people will believe Trump.

20. So. reporters should ask trump when he'll testify to Mueller

Under oath and answer questions about it. Cohen did.What's trump so scared of to refuse to talk too under oath about it all. All reporters should start hounding him now about why he won't under oath speak to investigators also . He won't because again he's lying.

[watoos]

23. If he lied in those questions that he answered from Mueller, that's perjury.

24. Hey sexual predator , can I still call you a sexual predator...........and traitor..............

Cohen......................asshole man up to his crime.........................I still do not like him, but at least he had the principles to own up to what he did, when he got caught..................and now asshole..................you are going down, because you keep forgetting dumb shit that your former COO accountant has a agreement with Muller and the New York Attorney Generals office on your crime family.......................after all for starters, "you and your family"................ bilked the tax payers of New York and this country just in New York out of 400 million in taxes............................


November 3, 2020 cannot get here fast enough.......................since the republicans let you get away with this shit for two plus years

[watoos]

Bwahahahahahalololololollbwa HA!

[turbinetree]

26. Yepper, spot on.................

[RockRaven]

27. Before this is all over, Trump is going to face charges of witness tampering.

He just cannot help himself. He has no idea where the boundaries are and doesn't care.
