Cohen (transl): “Don Donald: I believe in the law of omerta and I believe in the Family but why won’t you take my calls?”
Tough shit, Mikey.
Well, Mikey, buckle up, the rodeo is not over yet. As a matter of fact, it’s probably due to last a long, long time – perhaps until your Lord and Master is out of office and in court for collusion, treason and corruption.
I can believe he’s at his wits’ end. It’s not like he was overburdened with them to begin with.
Can’t take fighting anymore? Roll over and turn Mueller’s witness. Problem solved!
Watch out for homophones, TPM! In this case, the word you are looking for is “wits’”, as in “I care not a whit that Cohen is at his wits’ end.”
Your taking days are over, Mike. Time to start giving.
“I’m not going to roll over.”
Fine, the judge can duly note your refusal to cooperate with the larger investigation your crimes were related to and take that into account at sentencing.“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?”
Um, how did that go…?
“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?”
“Instant karma’s gonna get you, gonna knock you right in the face…”
DANG – you just beat me! You must have a great mind…!
Strikes me as a deliberate effort to get out the message, “I want a pardon or I flip,” just in a slightly more discreet and cost-effective way than taking out an ad or renting one of those message-towing planes from Atlantic City. Can hardly blame him. But I think Trump has gotten it through his head there’s a cost to issuing pardons.
Those $100,000 monthly checks for nothing that you pimped for were tough to handle too I bet.
That’s “wits’ end” – wit, not whit, and it’s possessive. I think of it as plural (“use your wits”) but it could probably be singular as well.
Okay, grammar lesson over. Cohen seems to be of like mind to Donnie Dimwit in thinking that Trump’s election was some kind of do whatever you want get out of jail free card. If Cohen loses his shirt and makes himself and his family suffer, that’s on him, not the rest of us.
This entire Trump crew bellyaches about their affairs being subject to the law as if it’s an imposition they should be exempted from.
Confiding in friends is he? He does realize that this story proves he doesn’t have any friends?
Sez Who? Sez Who?
Is it wrong that I’m smiling?
You sanctimonious piece of shit.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time .
Maybe. I just watched the video of him saying those who crossed the border were animals. Fundamentally unfit to be the POTUS. He’s a disgusting, ignorant racist pig. The man refuses to learn.
I certainly hope I have enough Kleenex, paper towels, toilet paper, and handkerchiefs to wipe up all of the tears I am going to shed over poor Michael Cohen’s plight.
