Trump’s personal lawyer knows whereof he speaks
by digby
That’s the same Michael Cohen who said this in response to the Daily Beast printing a story about former wife Ivana Trump’s documented accusations that her husband had raped her:
“I will make sure that you and I meet one day while we’re in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still don’t have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know. So I’m warning you, tread very fucking lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting. You understand me?
You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up… for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet… you’re going to have judgments against you, so much money, you’ll never know how to get out from underneath it.”
He’s one of Donald Trump’s closest confidantes and is currently under investigation for possible ties to Russia.
He’s also little better than a mobster which is obvious from that rant at a reporter.
His phony hand wringing is the kind of unctuous sanctimony the right always deploys when they see a liberal behaving as badly as they commonly do. They often can barely contain their snickers as they do it.
