Michael Cohen [View all]
What's the deal?
Is it real?
He had "coercion" by NY prosecutors Letitia James and Alvin Bragg to testify against Trump?
Really?
While I recognize the claims don't look good, I wonder nonetheless . . . . .
Not that I'm a friend or family member of Cohen.
Just stay with me.
Cohen HATED Trump with a purple passion for not only putting him in jail, but to extend his term for writing a book about their past association.
I've listened to scores of Cohen's videos.
If we're talking "coercion", I'd say it was on Trump's part.
The only thing that I can think of to make Cohen do a 180 that would risk his credibility against Trump is that Trump somehow convinced him that the life/lives of his daughter and/or his wife were in danger if he didn't (excuse the pun) a "MEA CULPA" on Trump.
Trump told him what to say. Notice this news appeared on Trump-friendly, Fox News and the New York Post. Cohen still is combative against Fox.
What would motivate Cohen to say all this?
I'm an attorney and I understand how people are leaned upon to change their story.
PLUS, he's risking a trial with conviction for perjury if this goes further. If this is a Trump-Miller-Giuliani plan, it's forcing Cohen to put himself back in jail.
Seems to me that Cohen is the small target and what Trump really wants is to exact "retribution" against James and Bragg. Make them lose their positions and possibly their law licenses.
I remain skeptical and dubious.
