Michael Cohen: There’s Only One Way To Make Sure Donald Trump Obeys A Gag Order

It’s going to require a lot more than $10,000 fines to keep failed ex- president Donald Trump from violating a court-imposed gag order, according to his former personal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen.

Cohen was a guest on MSNBC’s “Politics Nation” Saturday, and he said the current gag order is far too lenient.

“Let me be clear about this. This was the most limited gag order that I’ve ever seen. It was so limited it was almost impossible to actually violate it if you’re anyone other than Donald Trump… he can’t help himself.”

Calling Trump a “petulant child,” Cohen explained why fines are not enough to make the former president keep his big mouth shut.

“You tell the child, you can go to the candy store that has 10,000 items. You have a peanut allergy, so you can’t eat peanut M&Ms. That’s all the kid wants, and he’s going to fight you, tooth and nail, until he gets what he wants. He doesn’t care about what the judge says. $10,000? He doesn’t care.”

So what can be done? Here’s Cohen’s suggestion:

“The only thing that’s going to stop him is if they actually say to him, you know what, next time you’re going to stay downstairs in the cell for the entire night. Don’t do it again. Because what the judge said to him, you are not only creating a hassle but what you’re doing is dangerous to my staff. And I won’t allow it.”

Would a single night in lockup be enough to keep Trump quiet? If not, the judge should tell him the next time his punishment will be a month behind bars.

Michael Cohen Triggers Trump BIG TIME – Donald Visibly Upset As Former Lawyer Testifies

Michael Cohen, who served for years as an attorney and fixer for failed and multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump, testified today in a New York courtroom against his ex-boss, and what he had to say clearly triggered the Donald, according to reporters who were in the court.

According to Politico, Cohen laid out how he helped Trump and top executives at the Trump Organization inflate the value of properties owned by the disgraced former head of state.

“I was tasked by Mr. Trump to increase the total assets based upon a number that he arbitrarily elected,” Cohen said, “and my responsibility, along with [former Trump Organization CFO] Allen Weisselberg, predominantly, was to reverse engineer the various different asset classes, increase those assets in order to achieve the number that Mr. Trump had tasked us.”

Trump’s reaction was palpable. Again, quoting Erica Orden of Politico:

As Cohen delivered that testimony, Trump, who was seated at the defense table, grew red in the face and shook his head. Trump didn’t look at Cohen as he entered the courtroom, but as Cohen spoke on the witness stand, Trump trained his eyes on him and either crossed his arms or leaned forward over the defense table.

Jose Pagliery of The Daily Beast was also in the courtroom and shared his observations of how Trump’s attorneys had to try and keep their client from an outburst.

This fraud trial is the one that worries Donald Trump the most, according to experts. Why? Because it shows that almost everything Trump has acquired was obtained through fraud, lies, and manipulation. He’s not rich. He’s not successful. And he’s certainly not a good person. He’s just a wannabe mafia don who got caught in his lies and cannot stand the thought that the world is finding out what a crook he is.

Michael Cohen knows all about Trump’s financial crimes, and that infuriates Donnie to the nth degree.

Michael Cohen Trolls Donald Trump Jr. With A Hilarious Impression

Michael Cohen, the former attorney and fixer for failed ex-president Donald Trump, is letting it be known that he has no use for members of the the Donald’s family, most of whom are probably loyal because it’s in their financial interest to do so.

Appearing on the “Political Beatdown” podcast from MeidasTouch Network this week, Cohen let loose on the former president’s always obsequious son, Don Jr., mocking him for a rant he made about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who is likely running for president in 2024.

“Honestly, it’s sad. I mean, it really is. It’s sad,” said Cohen.

“What is there possibly to say? You know, is it nice to make fun of the stupid? The answer is yes, if it’s Don Jr.,” he added. “I don’t understand what the fuck he’s doing, I don’t understand what he’s saying. … Who the fuck knows what he’s even talking about.”

Cohen then began imitating Donald Trump and Don Jr., concluding the bit by telling both men he had just mocked, “Oh, my God, shut the fuck up.”

The former president is facing increasing legal jeopardy in multiple jurisdictions, with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg expected to charge him as soon as next week on felony counts related to hush money payments made to former adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Don Jr., meanwhile, continues to post deranged videos online in which he appears to be high as a kite on some substance and talking a mile a minute as he attempts to defend his daddy.

Michael Cohen Has A Warning For Jim Jordan – And It’s ON POINT: VIDEO

Earlier today, former Trump attorney and fixer Michael Cohen testified again before a grand jury impaneled by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as part of the investigation being conducted into hush money payments the disgraced former president made to Stormy Daniels, which is a violation of New York election law.

You may recall that when Cohen testified before House Oversight Committee in 2019, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) viciously attacked him, accusing him of lying before the panel.

At one point, Jordan remarked:

“This might be the first time someone convicted of lying to Congress has appeared again so quickly in front of Congress.”

However, Cohen gave as good as he got, telling Jordan:

“Shame on you, Mr. Jordan. I am remorseful. I am going to prison. I will be away from my wife and children for years.”

And now Cohen has a warning for the Ohio Republican, going on MSNBC Wednesday after he testified before the Manhattan grand jury and noting:

“I know what you are doing. I know the playbook. Because I helped to write it for Donald. It’s not going to work for you. Truth is the truth. And as Buddha says, truth will always rise.”

Truth will indeed always rise, and truth is something Jim Jordan doesn’t know the first damn thing about.

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.
