Michael Cohen Has Some Advice For The DOJ As They Look For More Missing Trump Documents

Now that we know disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump wanted to use stolen classified files he took illegally before he left the White House and trade them for information on his ties to Russia, the ex-president’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, has some advice for the Justice Department.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Ali Velshi on Sunday, Cohen urged the DOJ to indict Trump and stop playing games:

This whole issue is absolutely crazy. The fact that we have to sit there, and play this game with a former president of the United States? ‘I want my documents back?’ He’s not entitled to them.”

Cohen added:

“First and foremost, they are not his. Second of all, we know that he has more documents. We know that because in the file folder, it would specifically state the number of documents in them. Well there are more of them obviously out there.”

And then Cohen made a very important point that can indeed be helpful to Justice Department investigators:

“On top of that, we should find out whether or not he photocopied any of the documents as well. Now he is playing the art of the deal, and he did not write that book anyways. But he’s playing the art of the deal, where he says ‘I will trade you this for that,’ — this is beyond unheard of.”

The time has come to throw the book at Trump, Cohen concluded:

“If it was you, certainly if it was me, we would be in jail in 24 hours. The fact they are placating him only gives him the belief that he has more power than what he originally does. And think about what he is asking: ‘I will trade you this top-secret information, but I want information on the Russian investigation.’ Well here is a little side note for Donald, I hope he’s watching the program today. You are the president of the United States for four years, you had your lapdogs from Jeff Sessions to Attorney General Bill Barr in there. You could’ve gotten them, of course you could have.”

Indict the son of a bitch. Put the bastard on trial. And if he’s found guilty, lock his sorry ass up for what’s left of his life. We’re begging you, Attorney General Garland: Do it for the good of the country.
