How many fictions will this guy invent in the press and in the courts to curry favor with F47? My hunch is "as many as he can". And struggling networks eager to score points with F47 will amplify his tales. He just burned his new allies real hot, in the process becoming a major obstacle for the left generally and the Democratic party particularly.

Ugly enough in itself, uglier still for what it portends: Michael Cohen saw something up ahead that spooked him good. Maybe he's wrong, I sure hope he is, but it seems like he's betting on F47's long-term success and a painful punishment if he's still a political enemy. And now he'll throw the weight of his obsequious fictional prowess behind the outcome he fears so as to spare himself the worst of the consequences, everyone else be damned.
