1. Er er Trump...............

"I'm done with the lying," Cohen said in an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos that aired Friday. "I'm done being loyal to President Trump. My first loyalty belongs to my wife, my daughter, my son and this country."

[hexola]

2. I don't find him to be a great advocate for himself...

I'd just STFU - but he probably needs the cash!

[mobeau69]

3. I agree.

Can't believe Lanny Davis would agree with him doing this. I don't think ABC would pay him. I suppose other entities might.

[global1]

4. I Hear He's Hoping Trump Gives Him $150,000 For.....

not doing an interview in the National Enquirer. (sarcasm)

[llmart]

5. I am glad he is doing this.

George asked him point blank if he thought Trump was lying about Russia and he said yes unequivocally. He also talked about exactly what many of us have said on DU about Trump not having a clue how to do his job and what he used to be like years ago at Trump org. The more people who see these comments on TV, the more likely the pressure from the public to get rid of him will be.

6. Agree - I think it is revealing

But - Cohen's demeanor is too gangster, too thug

[llmart]

7. He seemed more contrite in this interview, but I agree...

he still looks like a thug to me. However, if it reaches more people by this being on GMA, well then I'm all for it.

[kentuck]

8. He's trying to build himself up as some sort of hero....

... he's trying to play a PR game with The trump.

If he was smart, he would STFU and be happy with the deal he got from SDNY.

[OnDoutside]

9. Pity Stephanopoulos didn't press him on what he's holding back from SDNY.

[mobeau69]

10. If he didn't tell the SDNY he's not about to tell George.

Who chose that jacket for him this morning!
