Michael Cohen Interview on ABC News
 
Things are not looking good for old Trump

Quote:

Ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen says Trump knew it was wrong to make hush-money payments during campaign

Donald Trump directed Michael Cohen to arrange hush-money payments with two women because then-candidate Trump “was very concerned about how this would affect the election” if their allegations of affairs became public, the president’s former personal attorney said in an exclusive interview with ABC News.

Cohen’s comments are his first since being sentenced earlier this week to three years in federal prison for financial crimes, lying to Congress and two campaign finance violations in connection with the deals with the women, Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, who claim past affairs with Trump.

“I knew what I was doing was wrong,” Cohen told ABC News’ Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos. “I stood up before the world [Wednesday] and I accepted the responsibility for my actions.”

When asked if the president also knew it was wrong to make the payments, Cohen replied, “Of course,” adding that the purpose was to “help [Trump] and his campaign.”

Cohen said he is “angry at himself” for his role in the deals, but that he did it out of “blind loyalty” to Trump.

(MORE: Cohen said Trump made him 'follow a path of darkness rather than light')

“I gave loyalty to someone who, truthfully, does not deserve loyalty,” he said.

Trump has lashed out at Cohen since his sentencing, contending in a Thursday tweet that his former close confidant only agreed to plead guilty “in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence, which he did.”

“It is absolutely not true,” Cohen said. “Under no circumstances do I want to embarrass the president. He knows the truth. I know the truth.”

Cohen was particularly distressed by another Trump tweet on Thursday, in which the president implied that prosecutors investigating Cohen had let his wife and father-in-law off the hook.

“Instead of him taking responsibility for his actions, what does he do?” Cohen said. “He attacks my family.”

And Cohen refuted the president’s contention that he never directed Cohen to do anything wrong.

“I don't think there is anybody that believes that,” Cohen told Stephanopoulos. “First of all, nothing at the Trump organization was ever done unless it was run through Mr. Trump. He directed me to make the payments, he directed me to become involved in these matters.

“He knows the truth. I know the truth. Others know the truth,” Cohen continued. “And here is the truth: People of the United States of America, people of the world, don't believe what he is saying. The man doesn't tell the truth. And it is sad that I should take responsibility for his dirty deeds.”

And this is an interesting part:

Quote:

Cohen -- who is due to report to prison on March 6 -- has professed his willingness to continue to answer questions for special counsel Robert Mueller and other federal and state investigators.

He declined in the interview to answer specific questions about the Mueller investigation “out of respect for process.”

“I don’t want to jeopardize any of their investigations,” he said.

But when asked if he thinks the president is telling the truth about the Russia probe, Cohen replied simply, “No.”

Don't forget Michael Cohen had recorded phone conversations with clients, Feds took more than 150 recording's when they raided his office.

Trump was a client ;) Attorney Client privileges are revoked if an offence is being committed.

and possibly signed lies from Trump and his legal team as part of his written replies to Mueller's questions..

game, set and match :)

You mean to tell me someone who is an attorney has plead guilty to something that isn't a crime? You understand what an attorney is, right?

Why would an attorney plead guilty to something that isn't a crime?

Better than the alternative. Plead to a noncrime or get fucked by every crime they could find.

Sure sure. I am sure there was multiple conversations about each payment. It's not like they sat down and settled it all in one phone call or meeting.

I'm quite sure if you had a prosecutor take a dip into your entire life he/she could find something to toss you in jail for a few years... Especially a prosecutor who doesn't seem to mind fabricating evidence.. That's the problem..

Michael Cohen, U.S. President Donald Trump‘s former lawyer, pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges including tax evasion, unlawful campaign contributions and making false statements to a bank in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday.

tax evasion - federal law
unlawful campaign contributions - federal law
making false statements to a bank - federal law

so if you think it is normal that everybody can be jailed somehow - why did you ask to lock hillary in if crimes are the usual ?

i think you should use one and the same measures to compare.

but i did not expect anything else from a trump supporter. when it comes to the point where every fake news and lie is on the table, there is just an "and what?" in your brainwashed minds.

it´s really time that people like trump including all his supporters are flying with a one way ticket to the moon.
