Trump Suggests Hillary Clinton is Funding Michael Cohen

Source: Mediaite


by Aidan McLaughlin | Mar 1st, 2019, 8:24 am

President Donald Trump unleashed on his former lawyer Michael Cohen in a tweet on Friday morning, claiming his former lawyer praised him in a book pitch long after saying he had turned on the president.




Trump appears to be referring to a Daily Mail story on a book Cohen pitched, several weeks before the FBI raided his office in April 2018, that praised the president vociferously. In a subsequent tweet, Trump argued the book manuscript undermines Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee, and called on Congress to demand a copy.




Cohen has repeatedly claimed that after working for Trump for a decade — a man he now describes as a “a racist… a conman… a cheat” — two pivotal moments of Trump’s presidency made him turn on his former boss: the president’s remarks in July 2018 at the Helsinki summit with Russian Vladimir Putin, and his response to the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in August 2017.

UPDATE: Trump adds in yet another tweet that “Cohen’s book manuscript shows that he committed perjury on a scale not seen before.” The president also makes the completely unfounded suggestion that Cohen is being paid by Hillary Clinton.

SURE, the book could be the way he really sees you...except it was written back when you were still bribing, er..paying him. And NO, OF COURSE he couldn't have changed his mind in the time you went from calling him a decent, good man to calling him a rat.

What a stupid, stupid argument!

Then to top it all off while sitting in the white house violating the law and being part of FELONY, you did this.............................................to pay off someone to keep them silent about your EXTRA AFFAIR.

Then the ultimate crime you inflated a piece of property (BEDFORD, NY) for a loan to the tune of 291,000,000 million dollars, (over a quarter of billion dollars to Deutche Bank), and then on your disclosure forms to the public you had it listed at 21-25 million)....................your fucked, just say it to your self just once.................you are fucked, that's insurance and bank fraud


Try again asshole..........................your a criminal, and you run a criminal enterprise, and I really do think that the RICO ACT will also be added to your list of crimes and in future...................

Make sure you know your orange suit size........................they don't come with 6 foot ties or cuff links, but they do have sleeves to fit small hands ................

Bigly-est LANDSLIDE this nation has ever had in its history! A most fitting end for the most inept, corrupt grifter of an administration to ever have been thrust on this nation! 👿😈👺☠️

How much you want to bet that the trumpsters will believe him? I've been saying for months to follow the SDNY investigations. They are going to nail trump big time. trump can not do a thing to end the investigations either.

Is there a specific medical term for when the brain dies, but the body still moves?

And the mouth continues to make noises that resonate with some other specific types of brains?

'Zombie' and 'Alzheimers' don't quite cover it in my dictionary.

I bet the C-PAC 2019 speech will be used in many future lecture theatres for psychology students to illustrate the concepts of paranoia, delusional thinking and reality dislocation. All 2 hours of it.
