MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell Defends Michael Cohen Stealing From Trump as "trying to rebalance the bonus he thought he deserved"
PJ Media ^ | 05/20/2024 | GRAYSON BAKICH

I admittedly have not followed much of the ongoing show trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City for supposedly paying hush money to former adult film performer Stormy Daniels precisely because it's a show trial. If I want to see a serious analysis of fiction, I just read TV Tropes.

Still, it does make me happy knowing the "star witness" Michael Cohen, Trump's former "fixer," just keeps digging the prosecution's grave further and further down till they hit bedrock and probably resurface in China.

As our indispensable Matt Margolis wrote earlier today, Cohen's latest entry of his foot into his mouth was admitting to all but stealing from the Trump Organization, paying a tech company called Red Finch $20,000 out of an expected $50,000 and pocketing the rest for himself.

Apparently, he was shorted out $100,000 of his normal holiday compensation of $150,000, so this was just his way of trying to "rebalance the bonus he thought he deserved," as Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC justified it.

Yes, really.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk posted the clip to X, which he called "unbelievable."

Unbelievable! MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell apparently has such a severe case of TDS that he defends Michael Cohen stealing from the Trump Org:

Stealing is stealing.

And LO’D is a piece of work.

It’s stealing Lawrence. And your support of it is more testament to your character that Mr. Cohen’s.

Yet another delusional rant further amplifying the lefts inability to recognize the obvious due to the loss of all rational thought.

Does O'Donnell believe that if he feels he's been shorted in a bonus from MSNBC that he's entitled to make it up by taking extra pads and pens from the office supply cabinet?

And what's this about Cohen getting a bonus? He wasn't an employee as far as I could tell; he was an external service provider who invoiced his client for services rendered. Where is this notion of a "bonus" coming from?

O’Donnell is an evil, pathetic little man with no purpose in life but to side with other evil and pathetic liars.

Liberal Trump haters will work hard to justify their sick Trump hatred. They get paid to do that.

"I been caught stealing, once, when I was five
I enjoy stealing, it's just as simple as that
Ah, well, it's just a simple fact
When I want something, man
I don't wanna pay for it

Now I walk right through the door
And I walk right through the door
Hey, all right
If I get by
It's a-mine
Mine, all mine"

[“Cohen was trying to rebalance the bonus he thought he deserved.”]

Okay.

I feel the same way about a $600 million dollar Powerball.

I think I deserve it.

[I’m going to steal O’Donnell’s car to rebalance the news I think I deserved.]

Dude, you totally deserve it!

And you still beat Bob Alfalfa because he just couldn’t drive.

Neither could James Taylor off the starting line.

Now, Warren Oates.....

After that song, the lead singer or the guitarist joined another band and had a song I really liked.

BUT, that was around 1995 and dang if I can remember that song.

THIS song inspired actual stealing (as you may know)

O’Donnell is PMSNBC’s official piece of meat with two eyes.

A bonus is a gift, what he did was theft plain and simple. Sick and tired of people feeling entitled. We had our employees get upset because their “bonus” was lower than expected. It is understandable but it is in fact a gift. Perhaps no gift should be in order for those malcontents.
