Snip< by the time Trump was elected president of the United States in November 2016, he owed Deutsche around $300 million, an unprecedented debt for an incoming president. (His June financial disclosure showed he owes the bank $130 million, which is due in full in 2024.)

(27,813 posts)... comes down to whether the vulnerable want to bet on an eventual pardon, or on the very real prospect that the promised pardoner won't be in office when it counts - or that he'll watch them rot in prison if he ever thought their loyalty to him was questionable.
What it really comes down to is Mueller saying, "You have to ask yourself is 'do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

(33,643 posts)$130 MILLION bucks to?
That was ... a more pressing matter, in Cohen's world, it would seem.
Yeah, nothing sketchy about THAT at ALL ... lol ...
BTW, isn't Deutsche one of the favorite banks of the Russian oligarchs? Isn't that bank paying off a fine of something like $700,000,000 for laundering illegal Russian cash as we speak?
Pretty sure that was them.
But hey ... NO COLLUSION!!!
BTW, why does the fact that Dump owes Deutshe huge sums of money ... matter so much to Cohen? Why would this debt make it so he... won't squeal? I'm not getting the connection there tbh ... lay it out for me?

(1,474 posts)if he wants to spend 30 years in a New York Prison, Cohen will flip. Mr. Schneiderman may even offer to help protect him from trump's Russian hit-men. He will be safer being relocated than he would be in prison (where trump mafia will be able to get to him, fearing he may flip).
No way to know for sure, but I disagree with you. Cohen will flip.
