I remember seeing reports of similar threats on TRMS 2 years ago.

The veil isn't being pulled back now - Cohen's always been Trump's legal enforcer.

But, you know, he's our President, so we need to hope he succeeds...

It's been reported that he isn't getting any sleep and he and his wife have both lost over 20 pounds.

Stressing out asshole? This is barely the beginning for what's coming your way.

Oh and btw... Avenatti has you by the balls...

Cohen probably isn't a soldato, but definitely a "friend" of theirs.

Anyone who believes Trump conducted real estate deals in Manhattan for 30 years and was NOT involved with the mob, and their associates, is a fool.

sounds a lot like a Les Grossman rant from the movie Rolling Thunder. The guy obviously has no negotiating skills whatsoever other than threats. Hence all the threats of tariffs he's making lately. He wants to renegotiate several treaties such as Nafta and the only way he knows how to get what he wants is to make threats and intimidate.

Interesting that his past threats to media are only now being revealed, so apparently his threats were effective in keeping some reporters quiet before.

.... in case cited (story about spousal rape), the story was published. Repoters for major news outlets are not going to be intidated.

However, there were mentions of college papers' repoters being intimidated . He may have had more sucess with them.
