I wonder if Michael Cohen wasn't released just so Trump could send him back [View all]

Basically to send a very obvious message.

If you work for me but cross me (Cohen), you are not protected and you will go to jail.

But if you work for me and stay loyal to me (Stone), don’t worry. You’ll be fine.

And he needed to do this all on back to back days just to drive home the point.

Just hypothesizing, but I really wouldn’t put it beyond Trump at all.
