A lawyer and spokesman for current Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump issued a series of vulgar threats to a reporter on Monday, while falsely claiming that it was legal for a husband to rape his wife in New York.
Michael Cohen, special counsel for the Trump Organization, threatened Canadian-American reporter Tim Mak of the Daily Beast with untold legal consequences in response to an article that resurfaced allegations that Trump had raped his then-wife Ivana.

The Daily Beast story repeated details of a deposition relayed by a Trump biographer, who described the mogul as forcing himself on his then-wife as revenge for her encouraging him to undergo a painful and unsuccessful scalp reduction surgery in the late 1980s.

But Cohen, Trump’s lawyer and a spokesman who has helped control his candidate’s message in maintaining the Republican poll lead over more experienced politicians, went much further than that. According to the Daily Beast, he issued a series of vulgar quotes when questioned by its reporter.
“I will make sure that you and I meet one day while we’re in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still don’t have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know,” Cohen told the website. “So I’m warning you, tread very fucking lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting. You understand me?”
...
“You’re talking about the front-runner for the GOP, presidential candidate, as well as private individual who never raped anybody. And, of course, understand that by the very definition, you can’t rape your spouse,” he said.
“It is true,” Cohen told the Daily Beast. “You cannot rape your spouse. And there’s very clear case law.”

And you expect the commie new networks to print, say, do anything favorable to a republican, conservative, Christian person???? Duh!!!!
Donald Trump just needs to respond to these allegations by asking the press where they were when Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broderick made allegations against their Lord and Savior BJ Clinton?
What motivated you to recently sign up with FR?

Are you associated with any political campaign?
DOES ANYONE PAY YOU TO POST HERE?
Any smart newbie would be far more concerned about their own optics around these parts.
You're sure concerned about an odd thing.
Responding to report of of claims in a divorce proceeding
and “lawyer speak’, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
What interests me is the way the attorney threatened to ruin the journalist over the allegations. Half of me is horrified at the thought of liberal politicians using such a tactic to prevent conservative journalists from publishing pieces they don't want out there.
The other half of me wants to stand up and clap that an attorney for a Republican candidate went balls to the wall and practically challenged a liberal rag to a death match over its vulgar hit piece on said candidate.
I'm tired of watching conservatives play by the rules and get annihilated. It's somewhat uplifting to see one engage in guerrilla warfare. I'm so conflicted. 😇😈
I don't want to like The Donald, but I'm finding myself silently cheering.

Yup, this is how you have to fight back against the liberal media. They expect you to cower in fear. You need to take the fight right back to them ten fold. I guarantee you that this writer will now think twice the next time he thinks about writing a hit piece about Trump. This is how you win. Do whatever it takes!
Next it will be a story about Trump’s affair with Sally Hemmings his black slave girl.
I agree. I will also say that I am ashamed of some FReepers and the unfortunate tactics they use when their own guy is floundering.
I agree with your thoughts on this. We’re on the same page.
It's been said a hundred times, they'll do, say, and post anything to discredit this guy. They have to be extremely frustrated by now.
Trump is a political earthquake which helped uncover and reveal just how bad the DC politicos are. The astute who've been paying attention have long understood this. But they lacked a voice in a landscape where they were ignored, simply shouted down or mocked. That's all changed.
The people repeatedly failing to derail Trump are not conservatives, patriots or trustworthy. Most are nothing but political hacks with vested interest in keeping business as usual intact.
It is troubling to me, how true this is being revealed to be.
