New York prosecutors conducted an hours-long interview of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, about his old employer's finances.

The interview with the 54-year-old, took place on Thursday, sources told Associated Press (AP). It focused in part on Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank, his biggest and longest standing creditor.

The interview, at least the second of Cohen by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, comes amid a long-running grand jury investigation into Trump’s business dealings.

What a pure slimeball lawyer. Betraying lawyer client rules of confidentiality is the lowest level of slime. I can’t remember why Cohen turned back when. But, think Feds promised him something. But still unexcusable for Cohen and Feds or???

Only a matter of time before the state of New York attempt to arrest the Trump family. Jared and Ivanka should relocate to Israel. Donald and rest of his family should move to Dubai. Sell all of his assets in America. Continue his brand in the Middle East. And yes, he can build his own social media network there. Servers and everything.

And since it falls under attorney-client privilege, it’s probably not admissible in a court of law, nor would anything that is learned stemming from the interview. Think “fruits of the poisonous tree.”

I think Donald Trump was, and is smart enough not to include a 2-bit lawyer in his financial dealings. Donald Trump said a long time ago that he learned that most people who claim they can be trusted, will betray you in the end. I doubt he's shared his personal confidences with very many people over the years.

These folks really want war. They’re non-stop. They may one day realize that they pushed too far.

Trump often inflated the value of his assets when dealing with lenders or potential business partners, but deflated them when it benefited him for tax purposes.

Lenders need to determine the value of the assets on their own before they lend.

Plus there is noting illegal about evaluating commercial property differenly like that. Trump properties had something called an intangible component, because of his name. Two buildings, identical in all aspects, right across the street from each other. The one with the Trump name might have 20 million dollars of additional intangible value added compared to “Harry Nobody’s building.

All they need to do is take a page from Nancy’s playbook.

Indict him on “trumped” up charges, get him in front of a friendly jury, and “Poof!” - - - convicted former President.

And lots of luck finding a judge to overturn anything.

Witch hunt ! ( continued ).

Our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump has been under a non-ending witchhunt since 2015 when we first started talking about running for president

Our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump has done more for this nation than all other presidents combined since the early days of the founding of this republic. ( except Reagan. A mentor of the Man )

Our great and wonderful president has taken incredible amounts of ordinance and slings and arrows for all of us deplorable’s it’s stunning and amazing and incredible that he’s been able to withstand it all

But at this point in life he understands that lies spew forth while the truth remains hidden in the background

It is very clear that the American public at least the ones with brains understand that this election was stolen Trump won in a landslide and the Democrats are playing games

Their position of shut down all free speech to prevent talking about the fraudulent election

is not a tenable position to hold over the long term

They’re always waiting for our wonderful president to do something stupid , based on their provocations

And he never does
