Michael Cohen reveals his 'greatest fear' -- which involves Trump starting a war

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/09/michael-cohen-reveals-his-greatest-fear-which-involves-trump-starting-a-war/



Former Donald Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen warned of bloodshed during an exclusive interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt.

Holt as[ked] Cohen if he thought Trump would win the 2020 presidential election.

“So Donald Trump will do anything and everything within which to win. And I believe that includes manipulating the ballots,” Cohen said.

“I believe that he would even go so far as to start a war in order to prevent himself from being removed from office,” he warned. “My biggest fear is that there will not be a peaceful transition of power in 2020.”

It happened a while back, so maybe he thought he was in the clear.

Now that it’s out, I have to think he’s shitting his pants at the thought of losing and facing the music.

unless you've got to have the guys with guns on your side. And that's the guys who actually know how to use their guns professionally. A few wankers with Walmart pea shooters isn't going to do it.
