Michael Cohen privately questions Trump's fitness to be president

Friends of Michael Cohen have noticed that since Trump's Helsinki press conference with Vladimir Putin he's been more openly questioning Trump's fitness to be president. "It's one thing for him [Cohen] to be concerned about his suitability to be president," a knowledgeable source told me. "It's quite another thing to be concerned about his [Trump's] loyalty to his country."

The source added that Cohen was sending a public signal to this effect when he tweeted, on Monday after Trump's Helsinki press conference: "As I said to @ABC @GStephanopoulos, "I respect our nation's intelligence agencies who determined that Russia, had in fact, interfered or meddled in our democratic process. I repudiate Russia's effort...and call on all Americans to do the same."

Well, as Nelson111 said, Cohen DID hire that slithering Lanny Davis. Even his voice is slimy.

surely his career as a lawyer is dead. all that’s left is for him to become a FakeNewsMSM pundit.


Maybe Cinnabon is hiring. :)

Meanwhile, Hillary sold 20% of America’s uranium to Russia for a $145 million “contribution” to the Clinton Foundation, Billy Boy received $1 million for two speeches in Russia, and no one bats an eyelash on the left.


That’s because no one in the leftist media, reports any of those things. The few liberals I know, have never heard ANY of that stuff, and if you try to tell them, they just laugh it off, and tell you you’re being brainwashed by Nazis, or some such nonsense.

By now Trump has proven he is more than up to the task.

Look at our nation now, and try to remember how bad things were under the illegal alien.

I question Michael Cohen's fitness to be a lawyer. He doesn't seem to be very good at it.

One other thing ... people rightfully doubt what is written in press now, so this is from a book published in 2000.


From a modest office at the El Caribe Country Club, a catering hall and restaurant, the Leningrad- born Agron ran a vicious extortion ring that terrorized the Russian emigre community. “They were scared shitless of him,” FBI agent William Moschella has recalled. By 1980, his gang was bringing in tens of thousands of dollars a week. Agron’s victims ran the gamut from Russian doctors and lawyers to shopkeepers and grocery store owners on Brighton Beach Avenue. “What if they refused to pay?” chuckled a gang member in mock amusement. “We’d beat them in their store right in front of
everybody. But they paid. They knew what was coming if they didn’t pay. They knew they’d get murdered, if they don’t pay.”

Agron once threatened to kill a Russian emigre’s daughter on her wedding day if he didn’t pay $15,000. Going to the police would have simply guaranteed a late-night visit from one of Agron’s henchmen, like the Nayfeld brothers, or the forty-five-year-old Technicolor killer Emile Puzyretsky. “Puzyretsky had a great contempt for life. He killed his enemies with force, fury, and no mercy,” a Russian Militia colonel recalled.

...

The Nayfeld brothers were just as savage. The steroid-enhanced thugs emigrated from Gomel, Russia, in the early 1970s. The black-bearded Benjamin, a former member of the Soviet Olympic weightlifting team, was a bear of a man with a twenty-two-inch neck. He once killed a Jewish youth in a Brighton Beach parking lot in front of dozens of witnesses by picking him up like a ragdoll with one hand and plunging a knife into his heart with the other. The teenager had allegedly insulted Benjamin’s girlfriend and reached for a weapon. After the murder, eighteen witnesses vouched for Benjamin’s version of events, insisting the stabbing was a justifiable homicide, and the case was dropped.


So that’s the sort of business that was ran from the country club Michael’s uncle owned and where he himself owns a stake now. He is a mafia lawyer!

Michael was blackmailed by the CIA and FBI to violate Attorney/Client Privilege to record Trump. That is what happen and it is in violation of the Constitution.

Saw your username. I had a lot of fun with a hand-me-down R45 from my cousin.

Just checking back in late and I’ll admit Michael Cohen may not be too bright. He got caught up with Trump. He was a fawning sycophant of his. Good insight, IJ.
