Michael Cohen — who long served as former President Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer — warned Sunday of the potential risk of sending Trump back to the White House with mounting legal fees and financial liabilities.

“We need to be very careful about him as a potential president because he is for sale,” Cohen, now an outspoken critic of the former president, said in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” on Sunday.

“He needs to figure out where he is going to raise $500-plus million over a short period of time,” Cohen continued.

I would be fine never hearing from Michael Cohen ever again. Same goes for Mary Trump. They get headlines just by commenting the obvious on trump’s headlines

Michael Cohen has unique insight into the mind and actions of this lunatic. I will take a look at what he has to say every time (even if I do take it with a grain of salt).

I get that, I used to listen to his podcast but I don’t feel like he or Mary Trump ever say anything that isn’t already obvious. Aa

That would be fine if and only if we never hear from Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump ever again.

I hate Cheeto chimp. However, he is not “convicted”. It was a civil trial. Not a criminal trial.

I’m not really sure why people consider Michael Cohen an authority on anything. He was an unethical lawyer who got disbarred. He is definitely not an unbiased source about anything to do with Trump since he obviously has a personal vendetta after being thrown under the bus. While I don’t disagree that the headline is true, I don’t think attaching Michael Cohen’s name to it makes the argument stronger.

Because he was trumps attorney and basically an inside man for what, decades? But yeah you’re right it’s not like his testimony literally brought down Trump’s business in NY.

Oh wait… actually it did.

Thanks! You just said everything I wanted to but ran out of energy to type. Cohen is a sack of shit.

Why are we listening to Cohen? There were plenty of credible witnesses.

He is a key witness in one of the trials, and his credibility is going to be a big issue.

Not sure why journalists care, but prosecutors need to figure out how to make him credible.

Media is just looking for eyes

Yeah, yeah that’s what makes him compromised. Not all the other things. Not the rampant greed, not the corruption, not the pee pee tape, just the legal fees.

You mean that there is yet another reason why he’s for sale. Throw it on the pile, I’d say.
