I am trying to figure something out here

Cohen just dropped a lawsuit on trump. For not paying his legal fees as promised.

What is funnier.

The guy, who threatened subcontractors for trump because trump refused to pay them, is not getting paid as promised

or if Cohen wins this suit it will make trump pay for Cohen to sink his presidency.

So what is funnier?

I just find it funny that Cohen is suing trump for 1.8 million for legal fees.

They were being paid, until Cohen flipped. Then the payments stopped.

Cohen was asked by the R's during his testimony about who is paying his legal fees? Trump has tweeted to imply that because Lanny Davis is connected to the Clintons, that Hillary is.

Now we find out trump had been.

But Chump and Giuliani figured out that Cohen wasn't playing along with the mutual defense strategy, so Chump stopped paying for Cohen's lawyer. That happened in about May or June last year, and Cohen still owes his lawyer. I think Michael's assets were seized by the feds too, but he might have gotten his stuff back by now.

That's what brought on the need for this lawsuit - Chump did promise to pay and then he stopped it.

trump employs to get out of paying. He should, he probably invented them. Which gives him a head start if this goes to court.
