Cohen is an insider. It makes sense.

[Faux pas]

1. Kickin'

[Samrob]

2. More from Michael Cohen...

to Pence was obvious to anyone who has read the Godfather or seen the movie. Or any other mob book or film.

I never saw it as the words of a 5 year old. To me it was the threat of a crime boss.

11. Al laid it all out years ago

4. If our nation survives this we will all owe Cohen a large debt of gratitude

I know he was a not very good person for a long time, but he has proven that redemption is possible by his actions.

5. 1+

6. I grew up in an area where certain people often would offer to have something taken "care of"

for you.

If you have any knowledge of what is happening at all you politely decline without insult.

You do not want to owe some people anything.

7. He always sounds like he just consumed a case of 5-Hr Energy. nt

[Cheezoholic]

9. I agree and he's no hero either

Just because he turned on his boss to try and save his own ass doesn't alleviate him from the crimes and evil shit he committed. He's a mob lawyer first and foremost. He muscled people at his bosses bidding. He deserves to be where he's at.

8. I tire of the people who laugh and call his behavior silly or childish.

No matter how “stupid" he and Republicans may be they’ve been smart enough to take over the country and put it in a stranglehold.

[samnsara]

10. it sounds like my friends child who uninvited me from his bday party

..when he got mad at me. He was 4.

[mucifer]

12. But the video Cohen shows of Gotti saying the same thing is telling

[Hekate]

13. Right. But when you put those words in the mouth of a mobster, you can end up dead ...

…at the bottom of a river or on a rope over a tree.

[ecstatic]

15. And that was about to happen to pence

What did they say? 40 ft away from the hitmen?

But for tfg, I think it's a combination of both: He is a child and he is a mob boss. Lol

[UTUSN]

14. Mob talk, like Henry II, "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?!"

Whereupon his goons proceeded to murder Beckett.

[NCLefty]

16. Michael Cohen said "you cannot rape your spouse" when asked about an allegation from a Trump wife.
