The president’s loyal, longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, will eventually turn on his most prized client as he potentially faces “decades” of prison time, according to the attorney representing Stormy Daniels.
Michael Avenatti, Daniels’s lawyer in the case against Cohen, made his prediction just hours after a federal judge appeared to indicate she would not allow President Donald Trump’s legal team to first vet documents and files seized by the FBI in a raid of Cohen’s office eight days ago.
Avenatti said he had little doubt that Cohen would eventually be charged.
“I think Michael Cohen is going to be indicted in the next 90 days, there’s little to no question in my mind that’s going to happen.”
Avenatti continued: "I think those charges are going to be serious. They’re going to potentially carry decades in a federal penitentiary. I also predict within six months thereafter, maybe sooner, he’s going to flip on the president."
Cohen has long defended and praised Trump and the pair are friends. But reports have indicated that the president’s advisers are more worried about Cohen’s predicament.
Cohen appeared at New York’s Southern District court Monday afternoon for a hearing after his office and residence were raided. His attorneys, and those representing Trump, argued to view the seized materials before federal prosecutors to determine if any were covered by attorney-client privilege. The judge assigned to the case, Kimba M. Wood, did not make an official ruling but said Cohen would have the opportunity to review materials seized.
Following the raid of Cohen’s office last week, Trump tweeted that such attorney-client privilege was “dead.”

For some odd reason, I am more likely to believe what I read in the grocery store tabloids than what I would in Newsweak.
I think Avenatti has flipped over seeing Stormy Daniels perform in her sex tapes. I wonder how she is paying for his services?
STILL not a whisper of Russian collusion...even after Cohen raid
Flip about what ??
Oh, I believe that Avenatti said this, but Avenatti is an extraordinarily sleazy lawyer, so I don’t put much trust in his prediction. On the other hand, Cohen is no slouch in the sleaze department either.
nothing there so now it turn over every rock time
Didn’t we hear this already about Flynn, Manafort, etc.?
Flip or spout the party meme to avoid prison?
Cohen will absolutely be indicted.
The charge, Felony Friendship with Donald Trump in the Second Degree.
now there's a credible source for ya !
the Cohen raid was a hail mary to find anything that will stick to the wall!
Mueller has officially said that the Cohen investigation has nothing to do with Russian collusion, which is why he handed it off to the Southern District of New York instead of keeping it part of the Special Counsel's investigation. Cohen, I would bet, has some serious exposure, but it has nothing to do with Russia.
Things are so bizarre, I fully expect an armed SWAT-style FBI raid of the White House.
Shouldn’t it be the extortionist (the woman) who would be facing decades in prison?
The charge, Felony Friendship with Donald Trump in the Second Degree.
If only Trump were to have the power to pardon... :(
The FBI is becoming a Gestapo.
or blanket pardon... :)
