I couldn’t get past the WSJ paywall but here’s a CNBC (sorry) story on what he said.
And the Trump Curse continues.
Cohen is dumber than a box of rocks. Who the hell thinks it’s a good idea to become phone buddies with Tom Arnold?
Mike, you were warned to keep some distance between you and Tom Arnold. Tom is a Wacko-Bird who cannot be trusted.
You chose all the wrong friends and a lawyer who used to work for Hillary! Not very smart, Mike.
“As he prepares to begin a three-year prison term on May 6, Mr. Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer, expressed dismay”
GOOD! I hope his life for the next three years is “fulfilling!” Isn’t it amazing how a poor business decision (like hiring your personal attorney) comes back to bite you in the a$$!” I will bet you odds, that Trump isn’t going to give this turncoat a pardon either.
What do you want from a guy who pleads “guilty” to things that aren’t even crimes.
I wonder if he even knows what his name means: “Michael” (literally, Hebrew for “Who is like God?”) and “Cohen” (Hebrew for “priest”).
It’s real simple, he needs to send himself an email saying “I did everything by the book”. That seems to have worked for Barry’s administration.
Does this mean his congressional testimony was a lie?
Remind me who his lawyer was.
He must be related to Josh Steiner.
Mueller had his hand in what the Feds in New York were doing on their case against Cohen. He was under pressure to plead guilty under a lesser charge and agree to talk to the Mueller investigation, or his wife would be dragged into a more serious charge with him. So he lied, to get the deal he was offered.
Frankly I do not think the true object of justice is to get any conviction at all, no matter what. I do not find “deals” ethical, and many are not even “just”. When prosecutors will do anything at all just to get some kind of conviction, you are not dealing with justice, it’s a shakedown.
The entire matter of going after Cohen was NOT about Cohen. It was getting a legal hook on him with which to raid his files to see what dirt on Trump could be found in them. It was 100% a deep state operation trying to serve up something for Mueller et al.
Let’s not forget that Mueller was head of the FBI when the Obama administration started letting FBI & DOJ “contractors” get unredacted unrestricted no FISA warrant U.S. persons data on searches in the NSA database of ALL GLOBAL telecom data. That is what Admiral Rogers ended and later told Trump about shortly after Trump was elected. Trump knew from the day Mueller was made Special Counsel that Mueller was conflicted.
No wonder Roseanne dumped his sorry a$$. No wonder Richard Cohen’s all alone. He lets his conversations get recorded by Tom Arnold.
Depending on what State this happened in Arnold could very well have broken the law by doing this.
L
Cohen thought he was going to be a hero. Thought he was going to be a celebrity. He saw how Avenatti was being treated, appearing on every talk show, news show, late night show. Rubbing elbows with the stars! Betraying Trump was going to make him a star! But instead of a King, he was just a Pawn. Now he’s in jail, and Avenatti will be joining him soon.
I thought that was against the law?
Here’s hoping the Judge hauls him back in, voids his plea, and puts a SDNY or DC jury on his case.
Cuz his punk ass will be gone for 15-20.
Cohen should give Cindy Sheehan a call. They could commiserate together.
