Setting the stage for the “big flip.” We understand man, it’s worth it.
Poor baby! Who knew that doing a bunch of shady to illegal stuff might have negative repercussions on you and those hooked to your “star”!

That’s right out of The Godfather. I’m guessing Cohen’s no Frankie Pentagelli.
This was an overly sympathetic portrait of a career criminal. That said, it did lead to a common conclusion: Trump is out for Trump; the Feds have the goods; Cohen has to flip. Tom Arnold, who knows Cohen personally, said on Twitter on Sunday that he saw Cohen and he seemed ‘at peace’ with everything. One of his followers asked if that means he had flipped. Arnold replied something to the effect of ‘I certainly would’. Yeah - Cohen has flipped. I also think the speed of the Special Master in demanding that Cohen put up or shut up on claiming privilege also tests the hypothesis, as I am (thus far) unaware of major pushback from Cohen’s legal team. Even if the gov’t is right that there is a very limited amount of privileged material, I would expect the normally feisty Cohen to mount an aggressive strategy to contest items. I’ve not heard anything along those lines yet (though I could be wrong). If his legal team isn’t challenging the privilege issue too strenuously, perhaps it means he doesn’t care as much because he is going to cooperate with the gov’t.
“Gotcha” tax laws! Deep state!! Anti-organized business regulations!!!
Trump and his mob friends call it “loyalty”.
Cover up their crimes. Take the fall. Be berated and ultimately ostracized. But don’t worry.
Ivanka and the boys are having a wonderful time in Dubai.
You don’t have to actually cross the Russian mob if you are in a position where you might turn on them. They take a very conservative approach to keeping out of perceived possible problems. And with the CIA running under Putin’s agent, there is not much hope for the witness protection plan working. The good news is the father-in-law-outlaw will probably protect his daughter and grand children. Enjoy those cigars Michael and don’t buy any green bananas.
Poor guy. It’s almost like being a crooked, mobbed-up attorney is a BAD thing.
“Says who?”
It’s an interesting feat of psychological acrobatics to support someone like Trump, do all the legal dirty work for Trump, threaten people with lawsuits (i.e. ruin their lives), carry out said lawsuits, and then-- when the bills come due-- whine about it.
Self reflection is not their strong suit.
Of course, these are the same people who would cry foul as they were being frog marched for their crimes to the Ninth Pit of Hell by Satan himself…
Mr. Cohen’s lamenting his family’s plight is like Walter White complaining that his meth business might negatively effect his family. As Henley/Frey noted in “Lyin’ Eyes”, “every form of refuge has its price”.
“I’d die for my wife and my kids. And this is all ruining their lives.”
LOL…sure, you’d die for them…but forgoing committing crimes to enrich yourself was a bridge too far…
HAHAHA…the dude attached to his hip in the pinstripes is precisely the kind of buffoony goon I’d not be able to resist laughing at and asking “is THAT your toughguy face? REALLY?”
Hey Mikey,
getting desperate are ya? Does it seem like all your supposed friends are driving back and forth over ya with a bigly bus.
Feeling a little left out.
No help from your bestest buddy.
Thinking about family suddenly.
Guess what, the last thing shoved up your heartless ass will be your divorce papers if the wife has any sense.
Have a nice ride to hell.
I understand that Gotti’s family also did not enjoy all the police attention, at the end.
“This is all ruining their lives.” Did an intern write this? The story never says how so. Is this really news?
“Cohen has called the situation a “nightmare” and is reportedly struggling as he’s become isolated from Trump and others in Washington, D.C., who he reportedly claims have treated him like he’s “disposable.””
Folks don’t wanna talk to him because they’re afraid he’s wired. He’s Henry Hill.
For a guy who doesn’t hesitate to threaten people, Cohen’s whining rings mighty hollow. He’s had that wife and those kids the whole time he’s been doing whatever it is that he does, and if he didn’t know that they could be affected, well, that’s on him.
Boo-hoo.
Thoughts and prayers, you stupid ass.
Bourgeois mother fucking complaints.
