In its everlasting quest to bring down President Trump, the MSMs latest best hope is Michael Cohen. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Cohen said that he puts my wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will. I put family and country first.
Trump foes are taking that to imply that, rather than being willing to take the proverbial bullet for Trump, Cohen is considering turning against the President.
On todays Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, speaking with Emily Jane Fox, biographer of the Trump children, suggested that Cohen could become Trumps John Dean, the Nixon had who turned states evidence and was a key to bringing down Nixon. Fox agreed, suggesting that Cohen could change the narrative, from being a villain to being a hero, if he would turn on Trump.

Whatever they are hassling Cohen about, it has nothing to do with Russia. Mueller referred it to SDNY. It seems to me if it was directly related to Trump, the SC would have held on to it for impeachment recommendations.
Joe seems to think he’s a political brain when he simply is a bloviator. Never watch him, or the blonde chick who’s compliments his bloviating.
She'd probably sleep better at night.
BBC World Service radio gleefully included the Cohen story in all their news bulletins yesterday. sadly, millions around the world listen in.
Pure mental masturbation by liberals...
John Dean -— what a fool!
One thing that didn’t make the news yesterday (much) is that the DoJ reconstructed Cohen’s files from his shredder. They found nothing.
Psycho Joe needs a hero. Have a seat low IQ, Mika.
Have to put a stop to this recovery and world diplomacy or they become irrelevant.
When I saw the interview with Cohen, I instantly thought the Redcoats must have found dirt on him when they stole all his files and devices. I suspect Mueller now has blackmail leverage on Cohen.
Whether Cohen has genuine harmful stuff on POTUS remains to be seen. I cant believe Cohen would willingly betray his longtime friend and client but his family and country comment sounded like somebody being forced to read a confession at gunpoint. Im not buying it.
The fatal flaw in this theory is that it is based on the assumption that there is something with which to turn on Trump regarding Russian collusion.
No one find it odd that Cohen was a go to guy on Fox until he said he was placing loyalty to his family and Country first? Now he’s radioactive.
Joe was a R Congresscritter at the time, and his intern Lori bumped her head real hard on Joes desk and died.
OK, hyperbole aside, there is something REALLY, really wrong with Scarborough.....perhaps it’s the dead intern, but I suspect that there is a REALLY big skeleton in his closet that he has a tenuous grip on.
I didn’t hear him say he was turning against Trump. He said his loyalty was to family and country. That doesn’t mean he has anything to turn on Trump. This is just media assuming one can’t be loyal to country and support Trump at the same time.
Is he still around
So sick of this Fake News cr**.
Morning Joe turned on Trump and he’s no hero.
Still just a mu— well, we all know the gossip.
Actually, in terms of any information that Cohen has that is subject to solicitor-client privilege, his loyalty absolutely has to be to his client. Solicitor-client privilege is a bedrock of the Common Law legal system. If Donald Trump told a lawyer that “I received $1 billion from Putin that is sitting in a Swiss bank”, the lawyer would never be able to reveal that information. My concern is not anything that the President has done, but on whether a weasel like Cohen will fabricate something to save himself from his own personal wrongdoing.
