He’s taking it well.
Kevin Corke, @FoxNews “Don’t forget, Michael Cohen has already been convicted of perjury and fraud, and as recently as this week, the Wall Street Journal has suggested that he may have stolen tens of thousands of dollars….” Lying to reduce his jail time! Watch father-in-law!

As a former prosecutor, I can tell you that how a target responds to allegations is something we watch closely.
Does @realDonaldTrump deny the Buzzfeed story alleging he told Cohen to lie to Congress (a felony)? No.
Instead, he threatens Cohen (which could also be a felony). https://t.co/9ndYCjs8d8

I knew you would.

Is that a threat? It could be read as a suggestion that Cohen’s father-in-law is also deep in corruption of some kind which requires attention from law enforcement agents. It is rather ambiguous on the face of it.
The reporting I’ve seen says it’s a threat of prosecution…which is surely also an abuse of power, in addition to suborning of perjury.
He’s beyond despicable, abhorrent doesn’t cut it. New superlatives are needed.
…but pretty please forget that he did all of this while working for me!
The covfefest?
YNnB, Cohen also did a lot of that on behalf of Trump. I’m shocked that Fox News’ Kevin Corke didn’t think to mention this.
iknklast; Hah!
Yes, indeed. I daresay he was expressly hired to do those very things. Two scumbags deserving of each other. Maybe they could share a cell…
