Whoa! Cohen flat out tossing Twitler under the bus...




Michael Cohen

@MichaelCohen212
I welcome the opportunity to return to Congress to once again testify under oath truthfully and honestly regarding the hush money payments, which was performed at the direction and in accordance with @POTUS @realDonaldTrump. Justice will be served.

He's getting closer every day.

It would be interesting to see who he meets with over the weekend. It's kind of unusual for him to go to that golf club, isn't it? On the East Coast, as I remember. I could be wrong.

If Nader shares freely what he knows about this "administration", people will be in deep DEEP do

Oh, I thought he had info from the Apprentice. Now he has stuff from Epstein too? What next is he sitting on a treasure trove of info on who killed JFK that he's going to let loose any day now?

Trump's hook is coming, but it will be a larger and stronger hook than the Cohen hook. It is just a matter of time till the hook is complete and will come for DT. No one knows when that hook will be finished because of the hook manufacture's code of silence. All I know is the hook will be there to pick up DT when the time is right and they complete the special manufacturing techniques necessary to build the kind of hook that is needed.

"The time has come", the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax - Of cabbages - and kings- And why the sea is boiling hot - And whether pigs have wings."
