Try to Make It Through This Trump Lawyer Clip Without Cringing

[Doctor Jack]

While Donald Trump was getting briefed on the state of American national security, his counsel, Michael Cohen, made a disastrous late-afternoon appearance on CNN.

Now, if TV has taught us anything, it's that lawyers traditionally instruct their clients to say little-to-nothing when confronted with difficult questions, because lawyers, themselves, are supposed to do most of the talking.

Particularly when cameras are rolling.

Can't link directly to the video but its in the clip below. Its...awkward to say the least .

1. I watched that interview. He was an incredible condescending ass and she handled him beautifully.

It troubles me a LOT that I don't know her name and it wasn't mentioned in the article. But she was golden.

Donald Trump counsel Michael Cohen on Wednesday repeatedly questioned a CNN anchor who said the Republican nominee is behind in the presidential race. "Says who," Cohen asked CNN anchor Brianna Keilar after she said that the Trump campaign was "down." "Polls. Most of them. All of them," Keilar responded. "Says who," Cohen asked again. "Polls, I just told you. I answered your question," she responded. Cohen then asked which polls show the GOP nominee behind. b"All of them," she answered, before Cohen stopped questioning. Trump trails Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by 6 points, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls. Several recent polls, both nationally and in battleground states, have shown Clinton with the upper hand. Earlier in the interview, Cohen slammed the way CNN was covering the news Wednesday about Trump adding new staffers to his campaign. "There's no shakeup. Look at the words that you use and you blast at the bottom of your banner. Shakeup, overhaul, dramatic, desperate measures. There are no desperate measures," Cohen said on CNN. "These terms are not indicative of what's going on at the campaign. All that Mr. Trump has done is he has added to the existing group of winners that he has hired for the campaign."Michael Cohen FULL HEATED CNN Interview 8/17/16description jacked from thehill dot com check them out for some great political articles

Trump’s special counsel Michael Cohen assailed the “liberal disgusting media” for smearing the “colorblind” Trump as “racist” and for having the temerity to mention polls that showed him struggling to connect with minority voters. “Donald Trump doesn’t see color! He doesn’t care!” Cohen said and accused CNN’s Brianna Keilar of phrasing a question in such a way that made Trump look bad. When Keilar mentioned that Trump was polling at 1% with African Americans, Cohen fired back: My statement to you is I don’t care about those poll numbers. I have some very deep relationships into the African-American community, as an example, and trust me, he’s doing a whole lot better than one percent. And the same pundits that are giving you this answer are gonna be surprised the same way they were when Donald Trump ran away with the nomination at the primary. You’re gonna all be very surprised when he polls substantially higher than what any of you are giving him credit for.

Earlier in the same interview, Cohen was dismissive of all polls when Keilar informed him, “You guys are down.”

His retort: “Says who?” “Polls,”

Keilar said. “Most of them. All of them.”

After a long pause, Cohen asked again, “Says who?”


“Polls. I just told you. I answered your question.”


“Which polls?


“All of them.”


Indeed. All of them.

8. How odd was that? I was wondering if this rudeness and condescending

tone is then"new" campaign. And he sounded like a total idiot when he kept saying, "who says??" about the poll numbers.
That was really bizarre. I just heard it on Sirius, but it was much better with her expressions!
