Shocking details from Michael Cohen tell-all book revealed after the Washington Post obtained a copy
Published 1 min ago on September 5, 2020By Bob Brigham

Longtime Donald Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen’s forthcoming tell-all book were reported on Saturday after The Washington Post obtained a copy.

“President Trump’s longtime lawyer and personal fixer, Michael Cohen, alleges in a new book that Trump made ‘overt and covert attempts to get Russia to interfere in the 2016 election’ and that the future commander in chief was also well aware of Cohen’s hush-money payoff to adult-film star Stormy Daniels during that campaign,” the newspaper reported.

Whatever folks say about Michael Cohen, he appears to have come totally clean and has nothing to lose.

I truly look forward to what he says about the Fat Slob!

I'll be happy to be proven wrong but Cohen won't expose any of that shit imo.

And that's why he'll be allowed to live

Unless I missed some alleged evidence. However, there is plenty of reason to believe that there is laundering of Russian money. Trump condos are like little Moscow.

Steel and concrete, especially during the 80's and 90's, were highly controlled commodities back then. The Russians weren't the only ones doing money laundering for these folks.

The contractors were also very much under mob influence.

tRump was eyeballs deep in all of this.

is that if the mob was really in complete control of the all the concrete and steel then every single builder in Manhattan is in it up to their necks too. That’s the way the mob works.

It's a shameful indictment of our country's so-called justice system that the bigger the crime--the more money stolen or the more people affected-- the less chance the criminal is punished or even prosecuted.

...but don't expect it to have any more impact on the race than the dozen other "devastating" tell-all books, from Fire and Fury to Too Much and Never Enough, all of which vanished from the national consciousness within days of release.

The first reaction is very loud and ruffled, but people remember everything. It’s just that by now it takes way too long to list everything. And the fact the media isn’t talking about all of it doesn’t mean it’s forgotten.

No one has forgotten watching him ride down the escalator, or the children in cages, or him throwing paper towels at the Puerto Rican’s. I’m sure you haven’t forgotten any of it either.

Cohen writes that before winning the presidency, Trump held a meeting at Trump Tower with prominent evangelical leaders, where they laid their hands on him in prayer. Afterward, Trump allegedly said: “Can you believe that bulls--t? Can you believe people believe that bulls--t?” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/cohen-trump-book/2020/09/05/235aa10a-ef96-11ea-ab4e-581edb849379_story.html

They probably won't care, but I guess he likes them as much as he likes the military.

But Cohen's book releases Tuesday - same night he will be on with Rachel. Time will tell, I suppose.

And who knows what else will become known by then?

but I'm sure over the next two weeks, more is going to come out from that book. I also sincerely doubt it will tell all, as Cohen needs to earn a living and a book like this is a one-off.

I just hope he's lost his taste for mobsters with political ambitions.

criminal sins. So will Cohen’s book. No one is going to forget anything. Just because something new and atrocious comes along and everyone is talking about it doesn’t mean they forget everything that he did before.

it wasn't funny or clever. If it was aired we would all have forgotten about it because it was nothing but an "apprentice" parody.
