Trump pissed. He can't order him to stay in prison can he? Book release pre-November election.

1. I will be buying that book just to drive Trump nuts.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. No, he can't. And he can't do anything about Cohen's book, either.

The WH can vet Bolton's book because he worked for the government, but Cohen never did.

7. Can't his legal team demand to see it pre-publication because of atty/client issues?

They could tie the thing up legally saying this or that section violated attorney / client privilege.

They will throw every legal wrench they can at it.

It may still come out.

But I'd bet money it won't be prior to the election.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. I suppose they'll try, but they have no legal right

to a pre-publication review. The attorney-client privilege belongs to the client, but it's enforced only by the possibility of sanctions against the lawyer - he can be suspended or disbarred. The client, however, doesn't have a private cause of action against the lawyer for violating the privilege unless the lawyer discloses something that has some other legal protection, like a trade secret. And since Cohen has already been disbarred, he has nothing more to lose.

3. Just when we were looking for some "juicy" summer reading! n/t

4. I hope it is already written

Because god knows he could easily "fall" out a basement window and break his neck. 🤬

[Talitha]

6. My thoughts exactly.

Cohen had better be careful. Very careful.

[Brainfodder]

8. The level of evil we are at? He got released SO he could have that fall of 7+ stories?

[SheltieLover]

11. Maybe they couldn't get to him inside

to Epstein him?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Or Epstein info way more threatening and involved other

Important people?

[SheltieLover]

22. Yes!

But who knows what & whom Cohen was involved with on behalf of dump's escapades?😉

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. Well we know one thing. He participated in a scheme to

defaud..and just "made up" property values out of thin air. One value for IRS/State tax authority ( low value) and one for banks ( high value) to qualify for loan collateral.

That was disclosed at least a year + ago. Why is no one investigating ?[]

[SheltieLover]

10. Indeed!

Ridiculous to need to have this conversation, isn't it?

[Blue_true]

13. His wife has a super rich daddy and she appears to be faithful.

My guess is he will have good security people around him once he is out. It seemed he would have had a greater risk in prison, but from media accounts, he is popular in there.

[SheltieLover]

14. Glad to hear he will have tight security

He will need it with donny bodybags on the loose.

[lettucebe]

5. I'll buy it -- anyone that hates tRump deserves our support!

[SheltieLover]

12. Me too!

[cwydro]

9. Sorry, he's as corrupt as the asshat he used to work for.

Not buying any of these opportunistic crooks’ “tell all” books.

[Blue_true]

19. He made a bonafide effort to redeem himself.

I can be a real hardass, but when a person makes a serious effort at redemption, I am willing to give them room, while paying close attention to their actions going forward.

16. K&R

[mitch96]

18. 3"Book release pre-November election"

Oh good!!! this is gonna put a torpedo in the SS tRump fer sure....

20. I can't access the article - Did they mention a working titlle?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. More info at Daily Beast...but only working title was

from the last book he had a deal for, The Trump Revolution, that fell through.

21. " Employee Handbook for on the Job Survival" by Michael Henry Cohen

Just a humorous coincidence. Too bad this guy uses his middle name.

https://www.amazon.com/Employee-Handbook-Survival-Michael-Henry/dp/0961376805/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=Michael+Cohen&qid=1587934763&s=books&sr=1-7

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. Omg. Did you just happen to find this ? Hysterical

[eleny]

25. First, thanks for the link to the Daily Beast article

And, yeah, I checked Amazon to see if they had an approximate release date for Cohen's book. He's had plenty of time to jot down his memories. The "Survival" book was in the list of books written by any Michael Cohen. It looked posting-worthy for the grins.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. Ya well, he's said his newest book will not be

piercing "attorney-client privilege" but more about Trump's "personality" ??

To me, it's like "no shit Sherlock"

What we, and all of the press, are still missing...the guy is psychologically damaged (classic, textbook) and we are still acting like he isn't. i.e. adapting. i.e. using that obvious diagnosis to our advantage.

Wtf with the WH press corps? (He systematically dismantled the great, true reporters). Yet can't the high powered reporters for networks/papers mentor? Feed questions?

[eleny]

30. Maybe they're hoping to be there the day he loses it altogether

He's been behaving like a freaking madman.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. Yet he's winning at the presser game to me. Yesterday he

brought out a new technique. He simply completely acts dumb when a hard question is posed. Then quickly moves on. "Are you worried about people trying to inject disinfectant and do you take responsibility?". He said something like " that's hard to believe.." and moved on - no follow up.

I would love to read an article about the ineptness of the press pool. What do news agencies think about it?

[triron]

27. far out

[Totally Tunsie]

28. Literally, throw the book at him!
