Trump is willing to 'burn the country down' if the DOJ doesn't back off: former attorney

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

According to one of Donald Trump's many former lawyers, the former president is not above holding the country hostage if the Department of Justice is making plans to indict him on a myriad of criminal charges.

Speaking with MSNBC host Ali Velshi, Michael Cohen suggested that the DOJ take a look at everywhere the former president has been since being ousted from office if they believe he is still hanging on to stolen government documents -- but he then issued a warning about how Trump could ultimately react.

"It's almost like 'Where's Waldo,'" Cohen explained. "Follow where Donald has gone every single day and those people, the ones that you have to speak to, you need to search those properties."

"But I believe, and I've been saying it all along, that he is going to use those documents as leverage. 'You want to mess with me, you want to play with me, you want to indict me?' This is how he thinks, like a mob boss."

He doesn't have the power he once had.

1. Then life in prison becomes a death sentence

11. He Will NEVER See The Inside Of A Jail Cell. NEVER. nt

[Tetrachloride]

2. Prison is the only thing Trump understands now.

No friends. Not even his golf bag.

[RockRaven]

3. He can try. Let's fucking go. Get it over with. Let the MAGAts self-immolate.

The country will better survive that than the current consequence-free lawlessness of the ruling class.

14. I totally agree. We either indict or implode.

If MAGA goes all insurrection again, give them the military welcome wagon all the way to the prison.

4. His power is diminishing daily. Magats didn't get their red wave...

and Jack Smith and the DOJ are closing in on him. Even his lawyers know that he's going to be indicted.

5. Let him start with Maralago

6. Burn it down Donnie boy, burn it down.

He's nothing more than a used to be.

7. Oh darn darn

22 months and counting DoJ

8. Empty Threat

Burn the country down? Exactly how?
He's a private citizen whose power base has been eroding week by week for 2 years.
He controls nothing & knows nothing that would "burn the country down".
Just further self-promotion of his misplaced self-importance.

[Justice matters.]

9. Like Al Capone is ready to burn Chicago down if the FBI arrests him?

Didn't happen.

10. I love/hate/like Michael Cohen

but Trump is in decline, diminished, no longer in power...his army of brain dead weekend warriors are in prison, and the MSM covers him as though he was a willful child, a bellowing brat...as to Michael's "he's going to burn the country down" lament, the only thing Donnie is going to burn down is the GOP...thoughts and prayers..

12. Inflation much?

Wow, somebody is so delusional .....
