Cohen comes off as a tough guy, but he’s only a drip under pressure.
In the case of Buzzfeed, Cohen not only had to prove that he’d never been to Prague but that Buzzfeed KNEW HE HAD NEVER BEEN TO PRAGUE and acted maliciously in publishing the falsehood. The bar for actual malice is so high that he probably couldn’t win anyway. Now, Fusion GPS, which compiled the dossier? Yeah, I don’t see why Cohen would let them off the hook unless he didn’t want to be deposed and have to talk about whether or not he’d been to Prague. That’s REALLY problematic.
