Trump, Familiar With ‘Flipping’ Under Legal Pressure, Says It ‘Almost Ought to Be Illegal’

WASHINGTON — President Trump said he was not surprised that his onetime lawyer and fixer cooperated with prosecutors in exchange for a lesser punishment — “It’s called ‘flipping,’ and it almost ought to be illegal,” he said.

Mr. Trump said the years in prison facing his longtime attorney, Michael D. Cohen, for bank fraud were too daunting, and “in all fairness to him, most people are going to do that.”

“I know all about flipping. For 30, 40 years I have been watching flippers,” Mr. Trump said on Wednesday during an interview with “Fox & Friends” that aired on Thursday.

Then Mr. Trump referred to Mr. Cohen’s case. “But if you can say something bad about Donald Trump and you will go down to two years or three years, which is the deal he made, in all fairness to him, most people are going to do that. And I have seen it many times. I have had many friends involved in this stuff.”

6. "They call him..."

7. "I have many friends involved in this stuff"

A million years ago my mother taught me to be careful with who I hang around with because their reputations will stick onto you, innocent or not. This man is the classic example of her words. He has friends like that because he IS like them. A liar, a criminal, and a thief. He is not innocent.

9. Spoken like a true criminal.

10. Comey began his career in NY prosecuting mafia

bosses who were given up by flipping. That's why the orange one knows so much about flipping. He has mob buddies from way back before the Russian mafia had established themselves in the US.
