As noted in the story, the Vanity Fair reporter who has gotten close to Cohen said that at the relevant time she noted that Cohen was carrying two cell phones. Cohen told her that one was for regular stuff and the other was dedicated to the White House and Trump, so they could reach him at any time. (She repeated that story on MSNBC last night.)
So Cohen had a channel direct to Donnie, and no question exists that at the time he was so devoted to his master he would do whatever Donnie told him to do.
Donât we all feel just a little bit happier today?
Trust me. Cohen has RECORDINGS of Trump ordering him to perjure himself before Congress and detailing how to answer particular questions.
Cohen recorded just about everything he ever said over a phone to Trump. We already have heard the one where he tells Cohen to pay off Stormy Daniels. There are known to be thousands of others (why else do you think Trump went ape-shit when the FBI raided Cohenâs office? and he STILL rails about it today, years later.)
This may very well be the beginning of the end, or, at least, the end of the beginning.
Bad things 
I have the suspicion that Cohen is going to get whacked Carlo Rizzi style, by orders of his father in law.
Apparently the info BuzzFeed got did not come via Cohen.
âMy sole purpose is to protect him and the family from anyone and anything,â Cohen told the Journal.
Cohen continued, âLetâs just say I have no shortage of work. It encompasses all aspects of his life from his business to the personal,â adding: âItâs private between Mr. Trump and myself unless itâs made public because of a lawsuit or a news story.â
What was it F. Scott Fitzgerald said about leading a careless life?
They were careless people, Tom and Daisyâthey smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made (Fitzgerald, 191).
And itâs funny, but Iâve never needed anyone to say their sole purpose in life is to protect meâŚwonder why Trump needs more protection than a mafia donâŚ
Well, I may need to get extra pop corn for Cohenâs testimony.
In his interview with Vanity Fair, Cohen appeared nostalgic for the good old days at the Trump Organization, using the word âloyalâ 12 separate times to describe his relationship with the President.
âBoss, I miss you so much,â Cohen reportedly told Trump during this conversation. âI wish I was down there with you. Itâs really hard for me to be here.â
Awwwwwwwwwww I has a sads nowâŚ
In the spectrum of feelings I have about this ongoing travesty, happy doesnât ever seem to come into play. I get what youâre saying but the best I can hope for when this is all said and done is relief and a sense that justice was done.
Well, the loyalty wavers. And if anyone does get shot on 5th Avenue, apparently it wonât be Michael Cohen.
I must say, this season of Administration Defenestration is absolutely terrific.
Here ComradeâŚdraw a cocktail from Putinâs Polonium Punchbowl.
âThe nipples of Mother Fortune have run dry.â
" I put family and country first.â
As far as family I believe the man, otherwise it may be a last trip on a Ukrainian version of the Stugots.
The loyalty wavers, but the dude still abidesâŚso all is not lost.
OT, but Trump insists on fleecing his supporters at every opportunity. How many will fall for this one?
Why bricks and not chunks of slatted steel?
