Michael Cohen was on Alex Witt's show a minute ago. It was a long interview, but the highlight was..

[George II]

...him calling donald trump a "bloviated fool"!

This is the guy that said a few years ago that he would take a bullet for him.

My how times change.

[dclarston13]

1. Trump was paying him Back then

Someone else with a different agenda is paying him now.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

2. The lawsuit filed by Cohen is interesting

[Mr.Bill]

3. Every time I start to like Cohen

I go to Youtube and listen to that threatening phone call he made to a reporter. He's a slimebucket, and he's no better than the rest of the Trump gang. He should still be in prison.

[intrepidity]

5. No room for redemption?

He admits his past mistakes and seems to be trying to change.

Sure, we individually don't owe anyone our forgiveness, but it seems important to recognize the difference between those who try to change and make amends and those (like TFG etc al) who don't. Imho.

9. As long as he gets to keep his money

Cohen is not losing a minute of sleep in his luxury home over what someone on DU thinks of him.

He enabled Trump for years, shit on a lot of people and made a fuck ton of money doing it.

I wouldn’t worry too much about his feelings. He doesn’t care what you think of him.

[grumpyduck]

13. I don't know if he's trying to change

or just covering his ass while trying to stay in the media.

I wouldn't trust any of these assholes to give me the time of day.

[intrepidity]

14. Of course, that's a valid point

I happen to spend significant time listening to him, mainly via his podcast, and thus it is a recurring question in my own mind.

But then I ask myself: what would it look like *if* it were genuine? What would look different? And so far, I can't come up with anything. So I err on the side of benefit-of-the-doubt--not that he cares or that it matters to him, but because it matters to me. But fool me twice and it's over.

[Mr.Bill]

16. Working for a presidential candidate and threatening journalists?

No.

[malaise]

6. They should all be in prison

That is all

[empedocles]

15. The enemy of my enemy is my . . . [ally].

[MurrayDelph]

4. "For him"? Yes

From him? Not so much.

[UTUSN]

7. Did he say what the prospects are for his law suits?

[Effete Snob]

10. He said he thinks he'll lose

What would one imagine he thinks of the prospects for his law suit?

[kimbutgar]

8. Sitting in a jail cell and get screwed over by assolini taught him a lesson

And no pardon. Yep assolini burned his bridges with Cohen. I laugh remembering how Cohen defended assolini and used to defend him so staunchly with “ says who” line.

[Kablooie]

11. He has a podcast and is mystified how he followed Trump.

He’s always been a democrat, surprisingly.
He now hates Trup with a passion. He was the only person sent to jail for doing what Trump ordered him to do and once released was sent back because he wouldn’t sign a document stating he would never write a book criticizing Trump. A violation of his 1st amendment right

[Budi]

12. K & R I'll give Cohen this much. If what he offers to rip the bloviator from his perch within the

..International Criminal Organization of global mobsters & murderers.

17. Manhattan DA's office is 'ramping up' Trump investigation with 'very exciting' indictments coming so

Link to tweet

[George II]

18. I never saw indictments characterized as "very exciting" but in this case they will. Can't wait!

Everyone was chomping at the bit for Vance to announce his indictments before a new DA was elected. This one looks much tougher than Vance.

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. I like to listen to Cohen. I think he is serious about

clearing his name.

He is out to get Trump. I wouldn't want him as an enemy.
