Has Michael Cohen Already Flipped On Trump?
Last week, there was much speculation among politics-watchers over whether Michael Cohen was possibly on the brink of flipping on Donald Trump. This would be big news, of course, since Cohen himself regularly described himself as "Trump's fixer," meaning he probably knows where a whole lot of metaphorical bodies were buried from the Trump organization's various antics and shenanigans over the past decade or so. One week later, I can't help but wonder if that point has already passed. Perhaps the question now isn't whether Cohen will flip sometime soon -- but whether he already has.
I admit this is nothing short of sheer speculation on my point. I have no inside sources. I have not talked to Cohen or his legal team. I know nothing more than anyone else watching this drama play out on television. But after watching Rudy Giuliani on this week's Sunday political chatfests, it seems rather obvious to wonder whether Cohen has already flipped and is now singing like a little birdie to the prosecutors.
Let's start with the timeline. Cohen began by professing solidarity with Trump and personal loyalty to the president, to the point where he would gladly "take a bullet" for Trump rather than flip. These days, however, he is feeling much less inclined towards being Trump's personal cannon fodder. In the interview last week which set off all the speculation, Cohen pointedly said, when asked about his loyalty to Trump: "My wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty, and always will. I put my family first." He also spoke of putting "country" before Trump as well, which can't be a good sign for Trump's legal team.
At the same time last week, it was revealed that Cohen had switched legal teams, to one with much more experience dealing with the New York federal attorney who is investigating -- and will be prosecuting -- the case against Cohen (Special Counsel Bob Mueller handed this entire case off, and is not technically part of it anymore). Cohen also pointedly closed down a "joint defense" agreement with Trump's legal team, which allowed the sharing of information and legal defense strategy between the two men's legal teams. This is exactly what you would expect, if Cohen were about to flip, as many pointed out at the time.
Which brings us to Rudy Giuliani's rather bizarre interview this week on ABC's Sunday morning show. George Stephanopoulos sat across from Giuliani, and began by talking about Cohen. When asked what Trump's reaction to Cohen's recent interview was, Giuliani showed no concern whatsoever. This led to Giuliani giving Cohen some rather astonishing legal advice:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Let's start right there. What was the president's reaction to that interview from Michael Cohen?
RUDY GIULIANI: Same as mine, which is fine. I mean, Michael Cohen should -- should cooperate with the government. We have -- we have no reason to believe he did anything wrong. The president did nothing wrong with him, so we've gone through every document we can. We see no evidence of it. The fact that Mueller gave....
STEPHANOPOULOS: All 1.3 million documents?
GIULIANI: 1.4 that we produced. Also, Mueller himself has indicated that there's nothing here because he would have given it away. And he hasn't taken it back. And every indication we have is the president is not involved in that. Now, I'm hoping that Michael is able to clear himself because I think what was done to him was really unfair and I know he's being sensible and calm and trying to say the prosecutors did nothing wrong. But invading a lawyer's office? I don't know, George. That doesn't seem right to me.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well he -- he said it wasn't invasion. He had no problem, as you saw, with how that....
GIULIANI: Well, I think -- if you were in his position, I think I'd advise you to say that too.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you have no concerns at all about anything that Michael Cohen might tell the prosecutors?
GIULIANI: Zero. None. As long as he tells the truth, we're -- we're -- we're home free.
Rudy reiterated this point a little later in the interview, again stating: "We want Michael to handle this in a way that's most helpful to him. Michael's not going to lie, he's going to tell the truth. Long as he does that, we have nothing to fear."
This is either an unbelievable amount of legal confidence, or sheer legal malpractice. After all, Trump knows exactly what Cohen knows about what he was asked to do for Trump over the years. After all, Trump himself asked him to do all that stuff. So either Trump is supremely confident that there isn't even a hint of anything illegal in those 1.4 million documents, or something else is going on here.
If Trump does know about dirty secrets that might be uncovered, why would he send his new legal eagle out to the Sunday talk shows to almost urge Cohen to flip? Any lawyer who knew his client would be in jeopardy from such a move would flat-out refuse to publicly suggest such a thing, after all. This is where the possibility of malpractice comes into play, however this does seem pretty far-fetched. This wasn't some momentary lapse of reason or a slip of the tongue -- Rudy appeared on multiple shows this weekend and gave the same advice, almost word-for-word, as he did in the Stephanopoulos interview: Trump doesn't care if Cohen flips, because Trump did nothing wrong, therefore if Cohen "tells the truth" then there is simply nothing to be worried about. [This led, today, to Cohen's new lawyer tweeting some snark in Rudy's direction, calling any sentence with "Giuliani" and "the truth" in it an oxymoron.]
There's one other possibility to consider before I re-pose my headline's question. Is Trump just downright delusional about what is and is not illegal? Does he not remember what is actually contained within those 1.4 million documents? Is he so certain of this delusion that he's now convinced Rudy Giuliani that there is nothing whatsoever to fear from Cohen flipping on him? That's really the only other possible explanation.
Except, of course, for the most obvious one. Has Cohen already flipped on Trump? He's certainly done all the groundwork and sent signals that he was on the brink of flipping. He fired his legal team and hired a new one, he backed out of that joint defense agreement with Trump's legal team, and he publicly complained that Trump wasn't footing his entire legal bill (as, assumably, Trump had promised he'd do at some point). Then he baldly stated that his days of taking a bullet for Trump were over, and his family and his country would now come first.
What leads me directly to this speculation is how these things normally happen. The public learns about a target of an investigation flipping not when it happens, but rather weeks or sometimes months later. An indictment will be filed against the target (which puts everything in the public record), but it will be accompanied by a plea deal for the judge's consideration. This plea deal usually begins with: "The subject has been cooperating with prosecutors for the past two months...." You don't get an actual plea deal until after you've spilled your guts, in other words. You've got to prove you've got the goods on someone else before you get the sweet legal deal.
This really makes the most sense, when considered with Giuliani's recent round of interviews. Either Giuliani knows that Cohen has already flipped, or he and Trump are convinced that if it hasn't actually happened, it could any day now. If this is a done deal, then Trump can only project confidence by appearing not to care one whit about what Cohen might say. Which was Rudy's message yesterday, in a nutshell.
If Cohen has already flipped, then it is useless to protest or warn against it any more. Better to go with the flow and profess complete indifference, since a lot of this is being fought not in a courtroom (at least, not until Paul Manafort's trials begin) but in the court of public opinion. By expressing confidence that -- if Cohen sticks to "the truth" -- there is nothing whatsoever to fear, Trump's team leaves open the possibility to later claim that anything bad Cohen comes up with is a lie, plain and simple. That is a legal strategy that makes sense, rather than being a reason for a malpractice complaint.
We won't have the answer to the question of whether Michael Cohen has already flipped on Donald Trump until an indictment is filed against Cohen (probably for the money laundering charge, which would be the easiest to prove with a paper trail). If this indictment is filed together with a plea deal, then we'll find out exactly when Cohen did flip. And, should this come to pass, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to later learn that Cohen didn't just think about flipping last week, but that that was when he began his imitation of a singing canary. This really makes the most sense, after seeing Giuliani all but dare Cohen to flip on this week's Sunday shows.

That's what I like about you, CW.. You speculate like crazy but at least you acknowledge it..
You don't try and pass off your speculation as fact...
But ya know what is really noticeable??
Throughout your entire commentary on Cohen's legal issues......
You don't say a WORD about Russians or Collusion or the Election......
Funny how, inadvertently, you appear to concede that the issue with Cohen has NOTHING to do with Russians, Collusion or the Election.. :D
Freudian Slip??? :D
I don't think the prosecution is anxious to hear from Cohen just yet. They haven't had enough time organize the 1.3 million documents into a reference encyclopedia. The prosecution needs to know how effective Cohen is likely to be as a witness. The prosecution wants Cohen to know that they know the case history better than either Trump or Cohen or Rudi do. This shouldn't be hard given that the Cohen legal practice seems to have been a one man operation and a bunch of file drawers. It's hard not to forget a lot of the stuff you've filed over a decade, including what it means and why you bothered to save it.
Cohen is signaling a willingness, perhaps even an eagerness to sing for a better supper, but the prosecutors would be crazy to talk to him, let alone sign him up before he has completed a lengthy audition showing he can stay on pitch and stick to the libretto.
TS [2] - correct.
Now that Trump picked the obvious choice for SCOTUS (the guy who stated that he doesn't think the executive branch can be prosecuted - was there ever any real doubt?), we are looking at trashing Trump's already beleaguered reputation, then prosecuting him after 2020 for money laundering. His family are probably screwed sooner as they won't be able to hide behind our flag.
Mueller can now take his time, build his case and unleash hell.
neilm
it would appear, contrary to everything we've heard for a year-and-a-half, that whatever hell actually does get unleashed, it will not involve the words "Russian" or "collusion", right?
Gawdamity, there is going to be a lot of blood oozing from slashed wrists in the land of Weigantia! Can't begin to say how bad that makes me feel!!
"Russian" or "collusion"
Oh for Pete's sake, how many times do I have to state that the Russians interfered with the election, but are too clever to involve Trump because the man is a moron who can't keep his mouth shut about anything.
Trump, however, is heavily involved with money laundering, probably criminally, especially in Trump Soho.
The person who says "Russia" and "Collusion" most often is Trump himself - he is trying to define the criminal investigation into an area he is too dumb to have been included in.
He is also very likely guilty of obstruction of justice for the lies he concocted about the Trump Tower meeting - are you really naive enough to believe the whole thing was about "Russian orphans"?
Very nerdy, but the Ohio vs. American Express ruling by SCOTUS is absurd. Basically Amex can stop businesses from telling us the truth.

And, for those of you who think destroying our democracy as a response to President Trump is a good idea??
Commentary: Don't destroy the Supreme Court to save it from Trump
"Democracy in Peril" is the headline at the liberal webmag "Salon."
At the socialist publication "Jacobin," leftist activists say the danger is so great that Democrats must pack the Supreme Court to protect it from the legacy of President Trump.
On CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," liberal celebrity and activist Michael Moore says it's time to get rid of the Electoral College.
Meanwhile, former Republican Max Boot writes in the Washington Post that the GOP, "like postwar [Nazi] Germany and [Imperial] Japan must be destroyed before it can be rebuilt."
Ripping the Electoral College out of the Constitution, packing the U.S. Supreme Court and wiping out the party of Lincoln wouldn't have sounded extreme three years ago. No, it would have sounded insane.

Galvanized by contempt
In the span of two weeks, there have been four instances of Trump administration officials being approached and videoed at restaurants, being asked to leave restaurants or being forced to leave for their own safety because they work in the Trump administration.
On July 2, a woman spoke to then-Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt at a Washington, D.C., restaurant while holding her young son and looking at notes that she had prepared. She told Mr. Pruitt that he should resign. She then posted the encounter on social media. (Mr. Pruitt announced his resignation on July 5.)
On June 17, White House Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller was accosted by a patron at the Washington, D.C., restaurant Espita Mezcaleria and called a “real-life fascist.”
When the Metro D.C. chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America received word that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was at MXDC Cocina Mexicana on June 19, at least 15 protesters showed up shouting “Shame!” until she was forced to leave.
On June 22, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family were asked to leave The Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia, during the middle of their dinner. She did so without causing a scene and a restaurant staffer quickly wrote about it on social media.
Rather than condemning these actions, members of the left have instead encouraged more hostility. The same weekend as the Huckabee Sanders incident, Rep. Maxine Waters, California Democrat, told attendees at an event to continue publicly harassing members of President Trump’s Cabinet.
This increasing personal nastiness reflects the left’s understanding that they are losing. They can’t win the argument, so they use intimidation, aggression and spectacle.

Yes it does. Mueller is required, by the instructions given to him, to follow any adjunct lines of criminal behavior.
This is what Trump is really scared about and why Rudi won't let Trump talk to Mueller.
The Mueller investigation - the first of 19 ("Benghazi!!! 2") if the Democrats win the House in November - will open the door for a wide range of investigations into Trump's business deals that he, and a lot of his owners, will not be happy to see.
One possibility is that Trump will get word from Putin to step down due to "family pressures due to the impact of nasty Democrats on his family and his businesses" at their meeting in Helsinki.
A nice resignation and a President Pence will leave everybody happy - the right will gloat about Pence, the left will celebrate the demise of the clown, and Putin will get an invigorated House off his back before they even get started.
Mueller is required, by the instructions given to him, to follow any adjunct lines of criminal behavior.
You claim to be an expert due to your LEO background, but you seem to (willfully) misunderstand how the law works.

connected or added to something, typically in an auxiliary way.
As you have just conceded, Mueller's case against every American is NOT connected to the case of Trump's alleged collusion with Russia..
Ergo, Mueller is off his mandate.. Given the prior instances of Mueller's total incompetence, this is simply more of the same...

It would make more sense for the Russians to let Trump - and the USA - twist in the wind for a full 8 years. That would maximize disruption of the USA and its allies. The Russian disinformation operation shows no sign of winding down...the bots are still working, the misinfornation campaign continues. The Russians will reveal (drop by drop) what they did after Trump leaves office...to rub our noses in the shit pile they left on our doorstep.

I usually appreciate your defense of law enforcement on here...but then you go and make idiotic comments like this that makes me just shake my head! There have been over a dozen indictments filed and a handful of guilty pleas entered as a result of this investigation. Your claim that Mueller’s intent is to “nullify a free, fair, and legal election” is BS. Will his findings and Trump’s crimes nullify Trump’s presidency? That is a strong possibility, but that will be Trump’s fault; not Mueller’s.

NONE of which, sans Mueller's bone headed Russians indictment, have ANYTHING to do with Trump, the Russians or the election. Hell, even a federal judge said that Mueller was a disgrace...
Your claim that Mueller’s intent is to “nullify a free, fair, and legal election” is BS.
Yet, factually accurate. Neil even conceded as much..

If it does, guess what??

I usually appreciate your defense of law enforcement on here.
While I sincerely appreciate the compliment, no matter how you want to pretend otherwise, this is NOT a law enforcement issue...

Democrats Still Don't Understand What They're Up Against
Democratic politicians have a seemingly endless well of good faith for their Republican colleagues. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and even Bernie Sanders all speak with the language of decency, full of assurances that Republicans will be heard, understood and engaged. They offer appeals to morality, norms and shared values as if saying it often enough will make it true.
But there is no salvaging the Republican Party. Its leaders are beyond shame, beyond rules, beyond reason. Democrats can speak in the dialogue of peace, but the only dialect Republicans understand is power.
In the face of an unspeakable atrocity on our southern border ? constructed, announced and implemented by President Donald Trump’s administration, this Republican-led Congress does nothing and leverages none of its authority as a co-equal branch of government. Despite years of rhetoric about family values and shining cities on hills, the Republican Party allowed and tacitly condoned separating, perhaps irreparably, asylum seekers from the very children they fled here to save. Then, with more than 2,000 children still stranded away from their parents, they went on vacation.
_______________
Democrats, by refusing to defend their authority to govern on behalf of their constituents and prioritizing the sentiments and responses of Republican voters, have sacrificed the instruments of power for the perception of principle. Continuing this strategy is to misunderstand this moment in history. The Republican Party has already conceded to its extremism, codified it and entrenched it. There is no political no norm it will not break, no kindness or tolerance its leaders will reciprocate. They do not believe in government by the people, for the people, but in government by Republicans for Republicans. To accommodate them is only to empower them.

nypoet22,
Thanks for picking up my slack (had to put out a few fires since I posted).
Michale,
Prove me wrong if you think you can. You can’t and you know you can’t.
And for the record, I didn’t see your response #35 before I replied.
You are right, collusion isn’t a crime...but Trump is the one claiming that is what the investigation is all about. You avoid having to answer whether you will refuse to accept any findings that Trump has broken the law based on the investigation...which wasn’t too big of a shock.
You are right, collusion isn’t a crime...but Trump is the one claiming that is what the investigation is all about.
Really!??
