People close to Michael Cohen say that he felt mistreated by Trump in the past, and now he is ready to unload what he knows to prosecutors.
The New York Times reported:, “President Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, secretly recorded a conversation with Mr. Trump two months before the presidential election in which they discussed payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, according to lawyers and others familiar with the recording. The F.B.I. seized the recording this year during a raid on Mr. Cohen’s office. The Justice Department is investigating Mr. Cohen’s involvement in paying women to tamp down embarrassing news stories about Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016 election. Prosecutors want to know whether that violated federal campaign finance laws, and any conversation with Mr. Trump about those payments would be of keen interest to them.”
The LA Times followed up with a story that contained this ominous note for Trump:
Associates who have spoken to Cohen recently said he’s felt mistreated by Trump in the past and is “ready to unload.”
Michael Cohen is ready to unload are words that should terrify Trump. Cohen knows where all of the skeletons are in Trump’s closet, and he sounds more than ready to make a deal to keep from spending the rest of his life in prison. If Cohen starts spilling Trump’s deepest secrets, remember that as Trump’s former lawyer, he has knowledge of criminal activities that go beyond what prosecutors already have, Trump will be lucky if all that ends is his presidency.
Potential criminal charges may be enough to get him impeached by what is likely to be at least in part a Democratic Congress. If Trump ever becomes a private citizen again, he could be led out of Trump Tower in handcuffs.
