Michael Cohen predicts that Trump will 'never leave office peacefully' because he's terrified of being sent to prison


Quote:
Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer and fixer of President Donald Trump, has argued in a foreword to his new book that Trump will never leave office peacefully because he knows he'll serve prison time when he is no longer president.

Cohen released the foreword of his coming memoir, "Disloyal," on Thursday. In it he paints a devastating portrait of his old boss.

After the foreword was released, the White House issued a statement to Business Insider describing it as "fan fiction" and accusing Cohen of lying in order to harm Trump.

In the foreword, Cohen wrote: "Apart from his wife and children, I knew Trump better than anyone else did."


"In some ways, I knew him better than even his family did because I bore witness to the real man, in strip clubs, shady business meetings, and in the unguarded moments when he revealed who he really was: a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man."


Cohen wrote the book while in prison in upstate New York, where he was serving a sentence after admitting to financial crimes and lying to Congress.

In July, a judge ordered Cohen's release from prison and suggested the government had sought to punish Cohen for the book when it sent him back to prison following his earlier release in May.

In the foreword, Cohen discussed the prospect of Trump losing November's presidential election, with the president trailing the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, in polls.


"As the months passed by and I thought about the man I knew so well, I became even more convinced that Trump will never leave office peacefully," Cohen wrote.

"The types of scandals that have surfaced in recent months will only continue to emerge with greater and greater levels of treachery and deceit. If Trump wins another four years, these scandals will prove to only be the tip of the iceberg."

"I'm certain that Trump knows he will face prison time if he leaves office, the inevitable cold Karma to the notorious chants of 'Lock Her Up!'" he added, referring to the popular campaign chant at 2016 Trump rallies attacking Hillary Clinton.

The president and his Republican allies accused Cohen of being a liar seeking to drum up a book deal when he testified before Congress last year.

There, Cohen accused Trump of electoral crimes and seeking to broker a Moscow real-estate deal in 2016 and then lying about having had no involvement with Russia ahead of the election.

In the foreword, Cohen did not spell out the crimes for which he says Trump fears imprisonment, but wrote: "From golden showers in a sex club in Vegas, to tax fraud, to deals with corrupt officials from the former Soviet Union, to catch and kill conspiracies to silence Trump's clandestine lovers, I wasn't just a witness to the president's rise — I was an active and eager participant."

The White House responded to Business Insider's request for comment on the claims by attacking Cohen and dismissing the entire work as "fan fiction."

A statement from spokesman Brian Morgenstern said: "Michael Cohen's book is fan fiction. He readily admits to lying routinely but expects people to believe him now so that he can make money from book sales.

"It's unfortunate that the media is exploiting this sad and desperate man to attack President Trump."

There have long been concerns that Trump might refuse to leave office if he loses, fueled in part by president's own remarks.

In a July interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace, Trump refused to confirm that he would accept the result of the election, win or lose.

"I have to see. Look, you — I have to see. No, I'm not going to just say yes. I'm not going to say no, and I didn't last time either," the president said.


In a claim repeatedly rebutted by election officials and election experts, Trump has also said an expected surge in mail-in ballots in this year's election, prompted by the coronavirus pandemic, will result in widespread electoral fraud.

He has also threatened to refuse to grant the US Postal Service extra money to process the expected increase in electoral ballots cast by mail.

Democrats have accused the president of seeking to delegitimize thousands of votes and sow doubt in the election.

Biden told "The Daily Show" in June and a conference of donors in July that his biggest fear leading up to November was that Trump would try to "steal" the election.


Cohen's foreword appeared to mirror those fears, contending that Trump's central motivation in life is to win, whatever the cost.

"I was so vulnerable to his magnetic force because he offered an intoxicating cocktail of power, strength, celebrity, and a complete disregard for the rules and realities that govern our lives," Cohen wrote.

"To Trump, life was a game and all that mattered was winning."

Omarosa was interviewed by Alex Witt about the tapes released with trumps sisters statements and Cohens book. She mentions she has the privilege of having major parts sent to her from Cohen that she can not discuss, but she said there will be so many illegal activities disclosed that Trump was involved in.

Miami lawyer: I changed my identity after Michael Cohen intervened in Falwell dispute


Quote:
The flood of on-the-record confirmations in the Jerry Falwell Jr. “pool boy” saga has now connected two of the more obscure pieces of string in the scandal.

Former presidential fixer Michael Cohen this week confirmed he had helped the evangelical leader with compromising photos allegedly held by a young Miami lawyer at odds with Falwell and his wife, Becki. On Thursday, that lawyer confirmed he changed his name in 2016 after Cohen waded into the legal dispute.

Cohen has always been a famous player in the saga over the Falwells’ puzzling relationship with Giancarlo Granda, a 20-something former pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach who went into business with the Virginia couple after they met him on vacation in 2012.

Cohen is a former lawyer for President Donald Trump who turned on the former real estate mogul after going to jail on charges of lying to Congress. Last year, he was surreptitiously recorded recounting legal work for the Falwells trying to retrieve “personal” photographs” related to the “pool boy” situation.

Maddow Blog | Why Michael Cohen's new lawsuit is surprisingly important


Quote:
After several years of drama surrounding Michael Cohen and his former ties to Donald Trump, the lawsuit that Cohen filed last week wasn't taken too seriously in some circles. That's a shame, because this civil case is actually quite important. The Associated Press reported:

Michael Cohen claimed in a new lawsuit Thursday that Donald Trump retaliated against him for writing a tell-all memoir, saying his abrupt return to federal prison last year endangered his life and amounted to punishment for criticizing the president.... The new lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, seeks damages for "extreme physical and emotional harm" and violations of Cohen's First Amendment rights.

As part of the case, Cohen is suing the former president, federal prison officials, and former Attorney General Bill Barr.

And why is this a case worth watching? In part because Cohen's argument appears to have merit, and in part because of the core allegation he's raised in the civil case.

It's been a while, so let's circle back to our earlier coverage. It was in May 2019 when Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney and fixer, was ordered to report to prison after helping his former client cover up illegal campaign contributions to alleged former mistresses.

About a year later, Cohen was released on a medical furlough, which was not altogether unusual given the pandemic. Like many non-violent prisoners at the time, Cohen received home confinement.

It did not last. Just weeks into home confinement, the lawyer arrived at a New York courthouse, expecting to complete some routine paperwork. What he encountered instead was probation officers asking him to sign a document that would prevent him from publishing a book or speaking to the media during the remainder of his sentence.

Cohen, working on an anti-Trump book, balked, insisting that the request was a violation of his free speech rights under the First Amendment. About 90 minutes later, Cohen was in handcuffs. The Bureau of Prisons had decided to revoke home confinement and sent him back to prison.

By all accounts, this was not normal for released prisoners, and it raised some unsettling questions. Was federal law enforcement punishing Cohen because he'd worked on a book critical of the then-president? Was there a special rule being applied just to him?

In July 2020, U.S. District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein agreed that it appeared federal officials were trying to silence Cohen. "I've never seen such a clause in 21 years of being a judge and sentencing people," the federal judge said. "How can I take any other inference but that it was retaliatory?"

He proceeded to return Cohen to home confinement, and the book was released as planned.

And now Cohen is suing over what transpired, which is important for reasons that may not be immediately obvious.

As Rachel explained on Friday night's show, we can't have a system in which a corrupt president can use the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice to retaliate against a political critic. Imprisoning Cohen because he wrote a book Trump didn't like, as is alleged in this case, appears to be indefensible in a country that takes the rule of law seriously.

American presidents are powerful, but not so powerful that they can use the weight of the federal government to retaliate against people who write negative books about them.

"The personalities here can get distracting, but take the personalities out of this," Rachel explained. "A president being a bad guy is one thing. A president being a bad guy and then being able to use the Bureau of Prisons and the Justice Department to go pluck his enemies out of their homes, shackle them and throw them in jail without legitimate cause, that is a blaring red siren — not just for what it means to have a bad person in power, but for what it means to have a government that is bent to that person's will, for what it means to have a government that is insufficiently independent and governed by ethics and law that an unscrupulous leader can employ the U.S. government in that way for their own purposes.
