28. Stay away from high floor windows that open, and get a food taster.

[sheshe2]

40. My thoughts exactly, George.

He did some real shitty stuff in his life. I honestly think he is trying to atone for that.

[MrModerate]

45. More than anything else, I think . . .

He wants to be out of jail.

[Scarsdale]

78. Who would blame him?

It is always the lower down the chain guys who suffer. The big crook usually walks. Hopefully this time will be different. The big cheese will finally face justice.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

60. stay away from substitute prison guards and broken security cameras

[cstanleytech]

63. He will also need to stay away from stairs, umbrellas and take to wearing gloves at all times

to try and avoid Russian nerve toxins.

Trump won't go down easily, he will burn down the house first.

[Gothmog]

53. Agreed

[bluestarone]

8. I'm sure he knows LOTS BUT

There better be NO lies here or he's toast! The TRUTH the WHOLE TRUTH and NOTHING but the TRUTH!

[customerserviceguy]

18. He was

a lying sack of shit before he flipped on Trump, you really think that he's changed much?

[bluestarone]

20. Actually yes i do

Anything that get the RUMP family i'm all for!

[hlthe2b]

23. I do too. He was an absolute creep, but I think his shame is real.

[customerserviceguy]

33. Everybody

who's ever worked for Trump is probably shameless.

[bluestarone]

34. THAT is 100% TRUE!!

[hlthe2b]

42. My parents said that about Nixon and Watergate. I can still see my Mother's shocked expression

when Eliot Richardson, William Ruckelshaus, John Dean (in particular) and several others stood up to and/or testified against him. Even some of his most staunch supporters ultimately told the truth (e.g., exposing existence of tapes, etc.)

[customerserviceguy]

49. There is a world of difference

between those serving in the Nixon administration, and those willing to work for Trump. Please recall, back then, we had GOP Senators with the balls to tell Tricky Dick that the jig was up. We have no such statesmen in the GOP today.

[hlthe2b]

51. Having just listened to a half dozen podcasts revisiting the history of Watergate, the spin that the

R's were so honorable in going to the WH to tell Nixon it was time to go, is just that. They waited until they had NO choice. That "statesman" thing is bullshit.

Howard Baker and a few R's did show some spine in the hearings. But, John Dean committed crimes for Nixon. In that aspect, he is not that different than Cohen, though a better "man" in general certainly.

[murielm99]

74. Thanks for saying this.

I lived through it and was a Watergate junkie. If they could have gotten away with their corruption, Nixon would have finished his term. When I tell people this, many of them look at me like I am nuts. They did not suddenly "see the light!"

Remember, the Democrats were in power then, and so the checks and balances were working.

I read Dean's book and watched his testimony faithfully. I think he worked with lawyers to save his own butt and not to sound self-serving. He did some jail time. He is a better man because he had a trial by fire. He learned to be a better man because he was forced to look at himself and answer for his crimes. Maybe that will happen for Cohen. We will see.

[customerserviceguy]

85. OK, so they were not statesmen

but in comparison to Trump's lackeys, they sort of look like that, maybe, through a looking-glass with forty-five years of dust on it.

[rhiannon55]

62. I know someone who worked for him

years ago and has been in therapy for years for severe ptsd because of it.

[lunatica]

84. Revenge has a way of outing the truth

If it takes the truth to bring Trump down, then that’s what we’ll get. Hopefully Trump will regret tossing Michael Cohn under the Trump Express bus.

[FoxNewsSucks]

67. Not sure if it's shame,

or anger that he's the only one behind bars.

Either way, as long as he helps put tRumps behind bars I'm all for it.

[Poiuyt]

69. Cohen may be out for revenge

I doubt if he's changed too much, but he's probably pissed that he did all these crimes for trump, and now he's in jail and trump is living the high life.

[NewJeffCT]

29. He was pretty credible when he testified to the House

earlier this year

[MyOwnPeace]

39. Yeah, and where did THAT get us?

Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to be "negative" about Democratic responses or actions....... that's not "supportive."

[NewJeffCT]

81. If you look at Trump's polling

for the week afterwards, it went down several points before the next distractions and scandals buried that story and Trump and the media continuing to promote the economy as great led to a rebound.

Sadly, my fear is that big testimony from the likes of Cohen, Mueller and others will be so scattered across the months that it will be ineffectual and forgotten

15. At this point, and with AGBarrs record of keeping inmates safe (Epstein)...

The safest place for M.Cohen would be for the feds to let him camp out in Speaker Pelosi's office.

[bluecollar2]

26. Is this a State AG vs a Fed? N/T?

[Volaris]

65. I THINK its southern district of New York, which is a federal judical district.

This is NYS/NYC investigation now.

13. For those of us not fluent in Legalese

What is a proffer agreement?

[asiliveandbreathe]

19. Proffer or "queen for a day" letters are written agreements...

Proffer or "queen for a day" letters are written agreements between federal prosecutors and individuals under criminal investigation which permit these individuals to tell the government about their knowledge of crimes, with the supposed assurance that their words will not be used against them in any later proceedings.

Cohen has nothing to lose.....

Just a search away....

[Gothmog]

32. Good answer

This is a way to reduce his sentence

[bluecollar2]

24. Good question

I'm curious to know also...

The article says "city prosecutors" but may be referring to their location, not their jurisdiction.

These bastards are up to their necks in it. It is all going to come caving down on them one of these days. They can't avoid it forever.

31. Hope he has something new to say that he hasn't already said to investigators, Congress,

etc. Otherwise, not expecting much.

[Hekate]

36. Cleanse your soul, Michael; cleanse your soul. nt

[MyMission]

58. Jewish High Holy Days begin 9/27. Self reflection begins the month before

Leading up to Rosh Hashanah, the new year. Then 10 days later is Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, when we fast and atone for our sins and transgressions.

I'd say he is off to a good start, reflecting, realizing if he comes clean with information, it will in fact help him to cleanse his soul.

I pray for him, for his soul and his safety.

[Hekate]

77. Definitely a worthy thing to pray for...

Best wishes for the holidays.

Teflon Don. A brazen criminal as slippery as they come. After 2 years of breathtaking Mueller reporting, I will believe it when I see the Shitler in handcuffs.

Looks like bad news for Trump and his cult.

[NastyRiffraff]

61. Good. I'm one who thinks he has some remorse

But apart from that, being put in prison while the real perp is holding rallies, stuffing his face with junk food, and profiting off the presidency tends to focus the mind. Cohen is probably stewing angrily about the unfairness of it. Sure, he deserves jail time, but Donald Trump deserves it even more.

I hope he's angry enough to tell all. I have a feeling he is.

[MontanaMama]

68. I never thought that I would say this

about Michael Cohen...but I’m afraid for his life. Either the Russians or the DOJ might want him dead.

75. How many times have we been through this b.s. with Cohen? I'm not holding my breath.

There's something seriously creepy about him and everyone associated with Trump.

[wiggs]

76. I think he's still working for Trump. If all he's testified to behind closed doors is

the same that we heard in front of congress, then he's given nothing. He said Trump is a racist, a misogynist, and a cheat. We knew all that already. He HAS to know a lot more about Russia and the 2016 election and obstruction and Flynn than we've heard him talk about. He's playing a con. He said he'd take a bullet for Trump and he is.

First rule when interpreting GOP confessions: if they confess to anything it's because the whole truth is much worse.

Believing that a life of threats, bullying, deceit, greed, and ambition suddenly changes in the light of day is a stretch. Almost like believing that a self centered, corrupt, immoral, greedy narcissist will give all that up and work for the greater good when elected president. Doesn't happen. Didn't happen.

[ffr]

83. Ooooo! Thinks aren't settled then.

We need to get tRump out of the WH in 2020, so the Manhattan District Attorney's office can do what they do.
