Michael Cohen: "I'm the guy who would take a bullet for the president."

And you just did!

That wasn’t long after Steve Bannon joined the campaign, and, on his second day, according to Cohen, accused him of leaking to a reporter. “I’m thankful I sat on my hands that day,” he said. “I’m the guy who stops the leaks. I’m the guy who protects the president and the family. I’m the guy who would take a bullet for the president . . . and I told him that before he comes here with his anger and his conjectures, I strongly recommended he think twice before doing it again.” (Bannon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

If 'taking a bullet' is the same as 'implicating in a felony', then yeah. SeattleVet Aug 2018 #2

He pleaded guilty to both the $150,000 and $130,000 payments "in cooperation with and at the direction of a 'candidate for federal office'".

And I don't think he was talking about Bernie or Hillary!

Cohen sure has a funny way of 'taking a bullet' for tRump!
