Donald Trump has complained that Michael Cohen flipping on him to get a better plea deal isnt fair and should be made illegal. In an interview with Fox & Friends broadcast Wednesday morning, the president went on a rant about flippers two days after his longtime attorney implicated him in a federal crime in his guilty plea. Ive known all about flippingfor 30 or 40 years Ive been watching flippers, said Trump. Ive seen it many times, Ive had many friends involved in this stuff, its called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal. You get 10 years in jail but if you say bad things about somebody, in other words make up stories if you dont know, they just make up lies... and now they go from 10 years to theyre a national hero. They have a statue erected in their honor. Its not a fair thing but thats why he did it. He made a very good deal. Cohen has not yet made a deal to co-operate with prosecutors; he took a plea deal for the crimes he has committed while working for Trump. The president also said that the violations of campaign-finance laws, which Cohen said he carried out under the instruction of Trump, are considered not a big deal, frankly.
