Cohen Distraught Over Raid's Impact On Family: 'This Is All Ruining Their Lives'

By Nicole Lafond | May 8, 2018 8:46 am

President Donald Trump’s personal attorney is reportedly most concerned about how the FBI raid of his house, hotel and home last month is impacting his family, Vanity Fair reported Monday evening.

According to friends of Michael Cohen who spoke with Vanity Fair, Cohen is concerned the raid and subsequent media attention is “ruining their lives.”

“I live for my wife and my kids,” he has reportedly told friends in recent weeks. “I’d die for my wife and my kids. And this is all ruining their lives.”

Cohen has called the situation a “nightmare” and is reportedly struggling as he’s become isolated from Trump and others in Washington, D.C., who he reportedly claims have treated him like he’s “disposable.”

That sense of isolation has increased since Trump’s new lawyer Rudy Giuliani has started making media appearances, spreading confusion and fanning the flames of inquiry surrounding a $130,000 payment Cohen made to porn actress Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election, reportedly to keep her quiet about an alleged affair she had with Trump a decade ago.

I do not feel sorry for Trump lackey, Michael Cohen, one little bit. He knew what kind of man Donald Trump was and remains to this day before deciding at his own volition, to cover up for Trump's lies and actions.

Did Cohen think that this would not affect his family in the long run? How stupid can he be?

According to the Republican Bible, if you haven't done anything wrong, you have no reason to worry about law enforcement poking around in your personal business. Why is Cohen so distraught? Because his BFF Trump is treating him like he's disposable? Did you think you were the special one, Michael, that Trump wouldn't treat you like he treated all the others? Are you 14 years old?
