Michael Cohen -- President Donald Trumps longtime personal attorney and a former executive vice president at the Trump Organization -- has always insisted he would remain loyal to the president.
He was the fix-it guy, the pit bull so fiercely protective of his boss that hed once described himself as "the guy who would take a bullet" for the president.
But in his first in-depth interview since the FBI raided his office and homes in April, Cohen strongly signaled his willingness to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller and federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York -- even if that puts President Trump in jeopardy.
My wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will, Cohen told me. I put family and country first.

This is too funny to see these guys spin their wheels. Stephanoppolos et al are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to figure out what Cohen might have meant by this or that. They did it at least a half a dozen times during they "analysis". In the end, nothing was learned other than what they think Cohen feels. Of course, no new facts were uncovered. Cohen said nothing, they have nothing but they are too heavily invested into a story on which they have reached their conclusion before they facts came out.
Stephanie thought he had a biiiiiig story. The little drip got nothing.
Sounds like a typical lawyer....what benefits me, not thee.
Well it would be easier with less to speculate on if Cohen and folks like him would be totally forthright in their answers.
Did the clinton lap dog say what crimes Cohen has been charged with?
None? Weird.
Mueller is destroying lives to extort information to tag Trump, no one wants this. Mueller needs to be shut down and him and his gaggle of criminals need to be put on trial
It’s disgusting that such fishing and destruction of lives is allowed to continue.
Is the attorney-client privilege that he has sworn to uphold anywhere on his list of priorities?
By not being forthright in their answers they can stretch their 15 minutes of fame into a half hour and have the media whores dancing around like marionettes.
It’s such a strange story. They are framing it as if Cohen had placed Trump above his family before, and now has changed his loyalty.
It’s ridiculous.
His family was always his first loyalty.
Nothing has changed.
Nothing wrong with that, he forgot one person. My order is God, Family, Country, then President Trump. I can respect that.
It seems to me if this had anything to do with Trump Mueller would have kept the case himself. Mueller referred this to the SDNY to prosecute. Why would he do that if the target was really Trump?
These words suggest that he capable of lying in order to serve his family...or country.
Hey Cohen you COWARD.. It IS A WITCHHUNT AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP!
How would you rank family, country, president?
Something about the State being able to do more damage than the Feds.
I expect this comment was completely out of context. They are insinuating he has some juicy dirt to share on Trump, and I don’t think he does. I don’t even think Cohen intended for this comment to be the ONLY excerpt of the interview to see the light of day.
This is entirely fake news, and the MSM continues to show how evil it is.
This morning, on the local news, the big headline was about this, and suggested that Cohen is going to dump info that will hurt POTUS. I just don’t think it will happen.
JMHO
Did they even mention the taxi medallion investigation?
STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael Cohen says absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!
