Michael Cohen to attack former boss Trump in ads for Democratic group

Source: CNN

President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen will appear in a series of ads for the Democratic group American Bridge in the coming days, telling voters that Trump "can't be trusted" and that they "shouldn't believe a word he utters" during the Republican National Convention this week.

"For more than a decade, I was President Trump's right-hand man, fixer and confidant. I was complicit in helping conceal the real Donald Trump. In essence, I was part of creating an illusion," Cohen says in the roughly 90-second long video recorded for the group that will be cut down into shorter ads. "Later this week, he's going to stand up at the White House and blatantly lie to you."

Cohen adds: "I'm here to tell you he can't be trusted -- and you shouldn't believe a word he utters. So, when you watch the President this week, remember this: If he says something is huge, it's probably small. If he says something will work, it probably won't. And if he says he cares about you and your family, he certainly does not."

The Trump campaign in a statement attacked Cohen's credibility.

"You don't have to like me, but please...listen to me."

Seems pretty effective to me.

For the gullible "conservatives" who still think he's honest and cares about them.

Not really an endorsement per see. They can vote for who they want other than him (write in) or not vote.

In two weeks... September 8:

the error of his ways. He admits how horrible he was. And he seems to really love his family and want to be a good husband and father.

he dropped a little bomb of specificity in each ad. Not just "you cant trust trump" but "i paid off Karen McDougall with a check signed by trump himself" or something like that.

Lock him up.

Along with the content of other tapes and documents he collected?

Would have been better to launch his book today but the starting date for the RNC-clown show wasn't known at the time.
