Watching Trump on the evening news in the prison rec room, I almost feel sorry for him. I know him so well and I know his facial tics and tells; I see the cornered look in his eyes as he flails and rants and raves, searching for a protector and advocate, someone willing to fight dirty and destroy his enemies. I see the men who have replaced me and continue to forfeit their reputations by doing the Presidents bidding, no matter how dishonest or sleazy or unlawful. Rudy Guiliani, William Barr, Jared Kushner and Mike Pompeo are Trumps new wannabe fixers, sycophants willing to distort the truth and break the law in the service of the Boss. All this will be to no avail. Trump doesnt want to hear this, and he will certainly deny it, but hes lost without his original bulldog lawyer Roy Cohn, or his other former pitbull and personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
During my testimony, Republican House members repeatedly asked me to promise that I wouldnt write a book. I refused, repeatedly. It was another way of saying I shouldnt be permitted to tell my story, in essence giving up my First Amendment rights. It was a clear sign of desperation and fear. I have lost many things as a consequence of my decisions and mistakes, including my freedom, but I still retain the right to tell this story about the true threat to our nation and the urgent message for the country it contains.
One last thing I can say with great confidence, as you turn the page and meet the real real Donald Trump for the first time: This is a book the President of the United States does not want you to read.

Yes, you can preorder the book from this link. I just preordered an autographed copy for $45. I think it was $40 without the autograph. The site was a bit slow and wonky, but I was able to finally complete my order.
I can hardly wait to read it. I have conflicting feeling about Michael Cohen. However, I am definitely interested in what he has to say because he worked so closely with Trump and knows where all the bodies are hidden, so to speak. He has a unique perspective, I think.
Anyway, I just wanted to share that this is the only link where I was able to order his book. Amazon didnt have it; I checked.

(892 posts)As soon as I hit the button to order it, I thought, "Why in the world did I pay an extra $5 for Michel Cohen's autograph?"
I still can't answer that question.....lol.
