by Tamar Auber | Jan 12th, 2019, 9:54 pm
During an interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro on Saturday, President Donald Trump threw Michael Cohens father-in-law under the bus even though he didnt even know his name.
It happened after Pirro asked Trump if he was worried that the Democrats are bringing Cohen which she called an already-proven liar in front of Congress.
Trump said he was not. Then, he worked hard to distance himself from Cohen.
No, look, I was a client of his, Trump replied. Youre supposed to have lawyer/client privilege, but it doesnt matter because if Im a very honest person, frankly. But hes on trouble on some loans and fraud and taxi cabs and stuff that I know nothing about. And in order to get his sentence reduced, he says, I have an idea, Ill give you some information on the president.
Then, he dropped his bombshell about Cohens father-in-law: [Cohen] should give information maybe on his father-in-law, because thats the one that people want to look at. Because where does that money thats the money in the family. And I guess he didnt want to talk about his father-in-law hes trying to get his sentence reduced. So its pretty sad. Its weak and its very sad to watch a thing like that.
Pirro then asked Cohens father-in-laws name.
I dont know, but youll find out, and youll look into it because nobody knows whats going on over there, Trump replied.

Who for years has been ratting out others to Mr Pecker, for his rag mag. . lol. trump's just making it all much worse , especially when Cohen has all the goods on him for many, many crimes, and has him taped saying. trumps in deep deep trouble and knows it , or he wouldn't be tweeting or saying anything about it. He always starts this type of negative campaign on those who can expose him with remarks like he's making now. trumps a career criminal, which will be exposed soon to all.
