Exclusive: Michael Cohen believes Trump and his allies are turning on him

Source: CBS News

CBS News has learned that Michael Cohen, President Trump's longtime personal attorney, believes the president and his allies are turning against him. Sources familiar with Cohen's legal problems say that he is increasingly feeling isolated from Mr. Trump and his allies, and Cohen appears to be moving closer to a legal strategy of cooperating with investigators given the gulf that now exists between him and Mr. Trump.

A source says about Cohen, "the signals are crystal clear" that they are turning on him.

These new developments come as Cohen fields inquiries about whether he is going to "flip" and cooperate with investigators.

Cohen's associates say that in recent days he has become increasingly irritated by statements made in the media by the president's lawyer in the Russia investigation, Rudy Giuliani. A source tells Pegues the president's allies are trying to attack Cohen in the event that he does flip.

expect any different? It's like the woman who "steals" a man away from his wife and is shocked when she comes home and finds him in bed with the nanny.

... that could be a bad sign. Cohen maybe stopped believing he's getting a pardon. I read somewhere that his wife just left him and she's suing for divorce. Cohen does have some info to trade for a reduced charge, but Mueller wouldn't be interested if he gets Manafort to flip. It all adds up.

5. Trump demands loyalty from his underlings.

What they soon realize is that loyalty is a one-way street with Trump. He will run over you like an 18 wheeler hitting a gnat if you become a hindrance to him. I believe almost everyone in the White House is starting to realize this. Even Ghouliani has been tasting the sting of Trump's backstabbing lately. Notice Rudy the Ghoul hasn't been on TV recently, spreading his "fertilizer" on everyone. He made a few faux pas on his propaganda tour, and embarrassed the Orange Shit Stain.

Trump cares for no one. I actually believe he'd turn on his family if it meant saving himself. He's a fucking psychopathic monster.

that Cohen would know what happens to everyone who falls out of favor with tRump. Poor guy probably thought he was special and they had a unique bond. He’s learning the sad truth now that he is up to his ears in alligators. Nobody loves ya when you’re down and out.

Is this guy Michael the Fixer or Rip Van Winkle? Where's he been the last year? Does he not see the tire tracks on his back from being thrown under the bus so many times?
