1. here comes another book

but I'm not sure that we will learn much new. We already know he is a racist, bigot, misogynist, a grifter, a cheater, and a vindictive SOB. Maybe Cohen has some more info on some illegal shit.

7. I've heard statements about Cohen's new book and they say it is blistering.

I just hope he isn't Epstein'd before his release at 2:00 pm tomorrow.

8. I think this of all books would be the one Trump is most afraid of.

Cohen knew exactly who he was working for and that what he was doing was um, untoward - and kept extensive notes, and receipts.

Trump can't just dismiss Cohen as he's done with the other authors who've penned books about their time in his orbit (including Mary whom he apparently barely knows and who is just disgruntled 'cause she didn't get enough money from Fred).

Cohen had been Trump's bagman for what two decades or something? He knows everything.

It's why he was thrown back in prison the moment he decided a book might be a good idea - the lawsuits coming from Trump against Cohen's publication will be ferocious and many.

Now there's a book I can't WAIT to read! I hope he has most or all of it written already and has left a copy with his lawyers in case anything should happen to him. This guy knows where all the bodies are buried.

to not go out to dinner this time. Home confinement is just that. Hope he respects the rules.

But he’s not supposed to be going out to dinner either. Home confinement is a privilege. I hope he respects that.

is taped conversations of Trump/Putin/Repuks. Please let it be so.. Also he does not have to go through the executive order BS because he did not work in the white house. I hope he has receipts and do not eat or drink anything until he gets home. He should be free today.Tomorrow maybe too late.

11. Cohen is no angel nor should we overload him with sympathy; that said I am glad at the outcome

and if Michael is genuinely sincere about making amends for his past behavior and culpability (and not merely to make $$), I hope his efforts extend well beyond a book.

Yes, Cohen is an asshole. But that asshole is on our side now. The judge that released Cohen is showing everyone more corruption by Barr and Trump.
