CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger on Thursday said a source close to Michael Cohen told her that Cohen has "the goods" on his former boss, President Trump.
"'Michael has the goods,'" Borger said on CNN, reading her source's quote. "'He has extremely valuable information.'"
Cohen, Trump's longtime fixer and attorney, pleaded guilty Thursday for misstatements he made to Congress while testifying about his contacts with Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Cohen appeared in a federal court in Manhattan after reaching a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating ties between Trump's presidential campaign and Russia. According to court documents, Cohen pleaded guilty to making a false statement about the effort to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign. He also said that he made false statements about the timing of the project.
"And so this clearly goes beyond the Trump Tower Moscow ... although that is crucial and important," Borger said on CNN. "But if Michael Cohen is talking, and we know how close he was to Trump at certain points, how loyal he has been to Donald Trump, and we also know the things that were being asked in the grand jury."
"I think Michael Cohen, who was the man who said he would take a bullet for the president, has now become Brutus to the president," Borger said. "Because he has this need now to - his people say - tell the truth and come clean and is no longer in the business of protecting Donald Trump, which is what he did for all those years."
Cohen has reportedly spent more than 70 hours in interviews with Muellers office since he pleaded guilty to multiple federal crimes in August. He indicated in court that he had violated campaign finance laws at the direction of then-candidate Trump.
The violation stemmed from a $130,000 "hush money" payment to adult film star and director Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence about an alleged 2016 affair with Tump.
Mueller's team is reportedly working on its long-awaited final report.
OK, THIS time it’s really gonna work.
.
After more than two years we keep hearing new rumors and allegations on a weekly basis.
Is this nothing than a plan to wear Trump down; to get him to throw up his hands and say, 'I quit'?
There is no assertion upon which Cohen hasn’t changed his story at least twice. His value as a witness is sub-zero.
((Yawn))
Why would you post anything from CNN? It’s like promoting Jeffrey Epstein to girls in elementary school.
Cohen is caught in corruption with Taxi medallions in NYC. Mueller is using that to get him to talk crap about the President. If he declares Trump is a bad dude according to Mueller’s instructions, he gets off free from the NYC corruption. If he doesn’t he gets put away.
The President could pardon him but likely won’t because it would look like he’s controlling Cohen.
Mueller gets only a sound bite because Cohen’s testimony is compromised. Coden’s testimony won’t stand up in court, but Mueller gets a bite through the liar media like CNN.
The Washington fake news comPOST Should be burned to the ground!!!! THEY ARE AMERICA’S ENEMY!!!
“Make of this what you will.”
Thanks for the amusement. It was a difficult day, and a difficult week to this point, and stuff like this brings a chuckle.
That's my take but they just don't stop uncovering new alleged 'revelations' about Trump.
Are they trying to drive Trump to say, 'I quit' or do they believe these rumors will turn Trump supporters against Trump or rally Democrats?
So Stormy Daniels is a Russian Spy that rigged the electorate with Russian Spies that changed votes in Pennsylvania.
Got it.
Lanny Davis.
In other words, it's total BS.
The CNN Show must go on. There’s no business like Show Business. What if Trump has the goods on CNN?
Remember that Rosenstein raided Cohen in response to demands from Avenatti.
Trump won. They have been trying to do something since he won. Did Hillary or Obama do something wrong. Nobody seems to be talking about those with a D next to their name.
“source close to Michael Cohen told her that Cohen has “the goods”
Someone claims to have the “goods on Trump” for the 1,263rd time.
Clinton/DNC/FusionGPS/Steele/FiveEyesIntel/CIA/Brennan/FBI/Comey/and almost the entire FakeNEWSMSM are guilty of COLLUSION to try to stop Trump becoming President, and to overthrow him once he became President.
end of story.
If the ‘rats think the American people will stand still for President Trump’s impeachment they’re stupider than I thought.
Ws this about Trump constructing a building in Moscow?
or collusion in the election?
I can see Dems impeaching him on building.
If he had “the goods”, Mueller would have already taken the leap. Just another “prog” snowflake wet dream.
More Jello on the wall.
