1. Pass the popcorn!

[onetexan]

12. Make that 2!

[KS Toronado]

21. Make it a 3 popcorn night.

[tblue37]

31. Popcorn. Mmmmmmm:

[Fritz Walter]

32. I like to add a little heat to my popcorn

But in this case, I think the interviewee might just add enough heat on his own.
Still, adding a bit of hot sauce to the corn-popper this evening, just in case.

[bluescribbler]

36. will need a lot of beer, too.

Or wine, whisky or your intoxicant of choice.

[hlthe2b]

2. Lordy... Rachel won't get any sleep between now & then. She'll have his book memorized word for word

by then.

Kudos to her for landing the interview, though.

[Spazito]

3. I remember Rachel saying she wanted him to come on her show...

and her staff would be working on it. Congrats Rachel and her staff, a big catch imo.

[cyclonefence]

4. it's all too late

Why didn't you speak up when it mattered? Why did you go along with his illegal schemes and say nothing *at the time* they were being carried out?

This guy is no hero, and he deserves nothing--no praise, no reduction in sentence (unless he testifies against Trump & Co in a trial where what he says will help convict the bastards)--because we already know, or have guessed, the evil deeds he witnessed and took part in.

At this point, it's just more preaching to the choir. Look at all these folks who knew what Trump was and what he had done, and let him serve for four years with their mouths firmly shut. Fuck them all.

[BComplex]

9. Um...he testified before the House of Representatives. Under oath.

[cyclonefence]

11. I'm talking about when the crimes were being committed

All these guys didn't have their come to Jesus moments until *years* after they could have stopped these crimes. And now they're having the vapors about the horribleness of the crimes they willingly participated in. It's too late.

[BComplex]

13. Better late than never. Michael Cohen's House testimony has caused several investigations to

yield a bounty of information which is currently being used in several different court cases. You can't undo your past anymore than Michael Cohen can. But you can do right going forward.

[RKP5637]

14. Yep, reminds me of the ones that find god and then absolve themselves in their church.

At least he is trying to do something now, thinking of all the ones that have kept their mouths shut hoping they can skate by.

[alfredo]

27. He's already on trump's shit list. He has nothing to lose.

[panader0]

28. It's not to late to help beat trump.

The James Comey BS came out less than two weeks before the election.

[SergeStorms]

41. And he's going to have to live with that...

for the rest of his life. Oh, he's SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry about it now! Hindsight is 20/20. He should have thought about what he was doing at the time, especially since he had no new evidence to present. He'll always be a king-sized jackass in my book.

[kag]

49. I'm with you, Serge.

There was a time (after that Ashcroft hospital room event during W's admin) when I liked Comey, but after the '16 election I changed my mind about him. And he has spent three years trying to justify that shit. What he did violated the hell out of DOJ policy, which at that time still meant something. He needs to apologize.

[certainot]

37. he committed crimes and got caught. if he hadn't gotten caught he'd still be doing that crap

probably.

this is way better than if he was never caught and would never talk about it. jeez...

[fwvinson]

39. Starting in 2015 I followed David Corn and Michael Isicoff as they were putting together "Russian

Roulette" It covered Trump, Cohen and Company from 1987 forward and their Russian collusion.

[agingdem]

25. Let's go back..

Michael Cohen is no better or worse than the Lincoln Project...those guys hate Trump more than than hate Democrats..so now they're working with us...but these are the same guys who brought us to this place and time..Michael Cohen did not...they are GOP operatives..and then there's the pundit class, Mika, Joe, Willie, Andrea..they knew what Trump was..a depraved narcissistic sociopath...a sexual predator, a conman, but because they despised the Clintons with a burning hot passion, they cleaned up their party buddy and presented him as a viable candidate..they told their viewers that yes he may sound like a illiterate mafia thug but if he's elected he'll grow, he'll change..instead, he debased the office, turned it into his own personal ATM, an peed on the carpet...and when they chided him for it, he went after them like the malicious playground bully he is...and then out of the ashes of "oops our mistake" came Never Trumpers... as for Michael Cohen...he was a fixer, a houseboy...enamored with the life, enamored with the money...when he was subpoenaed he testified which was something Bolton did not do, something McGrath did not do...and yes Michael Cohen is slime but if he causes Trump pain then let's use him.... Yay Rachel!!!!!

[kacekwl]

42. He's definitely no hero but direct

your anger at those who had the chance to rid this cancer from the world. Republicans had the opportunity to impeach and remove this criminal once and for all. They still do by not voting for him and find a different path to fascism.

[cyclonefence]

45. I don't think I was clear in my OP

I'm sick of these guys who knowingly participated in criminal acts and then want to be praised for telling about it years later, when they shouldn't have done it in the first place, and they should have reported it to authorities at the time it was being done.

[kacekwl]

47. On I agree, I have no love for these supposed tell all books but

all we know about trump and for many reasons nothing stopped him. Impeachment was the only way he could have been stopped.

[Leghorn21]

5. Yeah baby, YEAH!!

[Cha]

6. Michael Cohen's ad Exposing the Ugly Truth was riveting.

[RKP5637]

7. Wow!!! Great!!!

[oasis]

8. Trump will be tuned in. Count on it. nt

[redstatebluegirl]

10. When????

[blaze]

16. ToBeDetermined! nt

[fwvinson]

40. I'm betting Friday

[Blue Owl]

15. Oh my

[George II]

17. Anyone know when that might be?

[rurallib]

18. Rachel works hard to get great interviewees and then pulls no punches

Just saying to Mrs. Lib that Maddow is the best in the business.

Will be ringside for this one. Maddow will no doubt ask some question that will make headlines.

Maddow should be the Meet the Press host. She deserves it.

[IcyPeas]

29. being interviewed by Rachel cannot be easy

I give him some credit for doing this. She asks deep complicated questions. Smarter questions than I could even fathom.

looking forward to it.

[orangecrush]

19. WOW

[rustysgurl]

20. For all those saying he should have done something sooner ...

... I understand.

However, I am choosing to look at this as if Mr. Cohen was an informant planted within an organization, and because of what he did and what he saw, he can take the whole damn thing down. If hadn't done what he did, he wouldn't be able to say what he's saying now.

I know, he knowingly participated in all the sh*t that went down. But now he is able to talk about it, and that makes it a "little" worth it in my estimation.

[onetexan]

23. Agree. Glad he's repentant & is now speaking out to let the country & world know the crimes 45 has

committed.

[ArizonaLib]

24. Even at this point - we'll take what we can get

Let the other side deal with hypertension.

Good on you!

[SunSeeker]

22. Oh boy!

[VA_Jill]

30. Ratings

will be sky-damn-high. And I am there for it!

[lunatica]

33. Shouldn't we take the truth where we find it?

For me the most important thing to know is the truth, no matter how ugly it is. I have no use for living my life based on believing lies. It’s a wasted life, amounting to nothing in the end.

[calimary]

34. SING, my angel of music!

As the Phantom of the Opera would exhort (musical version).

[tavernier]

50. Oh, I like that.

I can just hear his voice going up and up into a high soprano.

[BadgerMom]

35. Rachel will be overworked.

Two conventions (the RNC being hard labor) and then prep for this interview. Sheesh!

[certainot]

38. she needs to ask him about when sam nunberg says he "listened to 1000s of hrs of talk radio"

in 2014 and trump was getting reports from him. does cohen know what stone was looking for from nunberg and if those reports were going to russia too?

the russian ops in included hacking LOCAL and state dem offices and talk radio stations allow the cons to localize their use of that information. for instance, if they get secret dem personal info on candidates A through Z and they want to use it they just give it to the different relevant state /local radio stations of have callers say "well i heard that candidate A was so and so "... etc.

talk radio needs to be exposed as a putin tool and discredited before the election.

[triron]

43. Just now see your post.

[Farmgirl1961]

44. He actually needs to get himself (back) onto Faux news

It's awesome that Cohen will be spilling the beans to Rachel, but that's more or less preaching to the choir. Don't get me wrong, I think he's going to have some very juicy and scary things to share. But those that tune into Faux news need to hear what he has to say, as they probably aren't Rachel viewers. Just my 2 cents worth.

[jcgoldie]

46. Good idea but the problem I think is...

From what I've seen Cohen is not very smart at all. Might be hard for him to push back against the wingnuts in a fox interview...

[ecstatic]

48. I hope the interview triggers the f*ck out of dump, but

what's with the cocky attitude?

You asked for it and now I'm complying...

Please don't get it twisted, Mr. Cohen. You're just one of hundreds of corrupt criminals who helped trump break the law, only to be burned by him later on.
