Michael Cohen on Trump: ‘They’re Going to Indict the Whole Pig’
Breitbart ^ | 30 Jan 2023 | PAM KEY

Posted on 01/30/2023 10:58:33 PM PST by SoConPubbie

Michael Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, once again predicted that the former president will be indicted Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline.”

The panel discussed prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office convening a grand jury as part of a criminal probe into a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels that former President Donald Trump allegedly authorized.

Discussing his congressional testimony, Cohen said, “There was more than a dozen investigations that were spurred as a direct result of that testimony. Whether it is the New York attorney general and again, I thank our unsinkable Attorney General, Letitia James, for acknowledging my participation. Fourteen times I met with the district attorney. I spoke to eight different congressional committees, I spoke to eight times to different congressional committees. That’s a lot of testimony. Hundreds and hundreds of hours worth of it. My hope, like the hope of so many people in America, is this man is held to account for what he is responsible for.”

He added, “Donald Trump needs to be held accountable. You know, there’s the expression with the grand jury that they could indict ham a sandwich. Well, in this case, I think they’re going to indict the whole pig.”

He’s like a gnat that needs to be swatted to death.

Nah! He's more like an anal pimple!

Cohen should be sued by Trump for these comments.

He is a lawyer, he should know that EVEN IF it were true (and Stormy Daniels has already recanted) there was no ‘crime’

If anything, Daniels should be criminally charged with extortion- “give me money or I’ll say this happened”

Financially, I feel sorry for Michael Cohen.

He started investing in New York Taxi Medallions as a very young man.

Ten years ago, his Medallions were worth close to $10 million.

Then, almost overnight, Uber destroyed 90% of that value.

Cohen would have had no financial incentive to take on Trump's personal legal issues if his Medallions had retained their original value.

Every time I see one of these hit pieces I ask the rabid TDS sufferers to list one lie, one crime or one act of racism.

Still waiting.

One of the most tragic casualties in the rush and race to “get” Trump is the devastation of civil liberties and constitutional rights that had to occur to really get at the former President. They will neither honor nor observe ANY right or privilege that Trump should hold as an American Citizen. Tahre they deptiets him of his of any right he may have, including the right to confidential relationship with his attorneys. Never mind the extra rights he gets as a Predident or ex-president to “executive privilege” which Biden has purported to have removed from Trump or on his behalf waived it so every Tom, Dick, Harry, federal or state prosecutor or news outlet can obtain any and all records or secrets of Trump’s including his heretofore secret income tax returns. But above all is the sacred Attorney-Client privilege which Michael Cohen has breached all to hell, has profited off of, and made a joke of the once relied upon sanctity. Any citiez may now shudder in their boots that some how their attorney can breach the privilege, write a book about you, or reveal any and all secret you may have entrusted to him or her. This has set back the legal profession many years if not centuries. And the American Bar Association and other law institutions have stood silent for the “greater good” of bringing down the Orange Man. Sickening! Trump is the canary on the coal mine.

One of our worst communist tendencies has become the weaponization of law enforcement to prevent certain people from running for political office. I don’t want these ridiculous exaggerated charges by left wing ideologues used to remove candidates who the Democrat Party does not want to run against.

Every two minutes they create another ridiculous charge against Trump, and yet they refuse to see this as an abuse of government power.

What the FBI did to Trump, they will do to DeSantis, and they will eventual do to Joe Sixpack who opens his mouth and complains about the Democrat Party.

Jim Comey is teaching ethics, after all his lies to the FISA Court. The world is upside down.

Agreed but I’ll give him credit for not hiring Romney for anything. They had a dinner together during the transition and Trump must have concluded Romney wasn’t for him.

So, let me get this straight....
They are going to prosecute him for giving money to a hooker?
Did I read that correctly?

It is now a crime to pay for services rendered?

Tish James loves rats that squeal on Republicans. She just lost a case like this in Rensselaer County last week and it was another waste of NYS taxpayer funds for political jihads.

Lawyers have made more money off the suckers with TDS than anytime in their career and still bleeding their bank accounts a fool and their money are soon parted.

Pity light light off.

He’s a poor judge of character. He seems easily fooled and taken in by snakes. Look at Scaramucci, Pence, John Bolton, Mitch, McMaster, Kasey, Reince Priebus, Barr, Sessions, Aorosa, even Javanka who promoted their liberal ideas and not Trump’s agenda. Having dinner with Kanye and Nick Fuentes.
