Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Micheal Cohen, had his home, office, and hotel room raided by the FBI in their investigation of President Trump.
What does he do next?
He talks to CNN.
Um… Am I the only person who thinks this is a REALLY weird move? CNN is FROTHING AT THE MOUTH for an opportunity to sink President Trump and everyone around him.
Why would Cohen walk straight into the lion’s den at this obviously delicate time?
I’m not the only person who was really confused by this.
According to this:
Fox News host Laura Ingraham slammed President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, for speaking to CNN after the FBI raided his homes and businesses, suggesting he’s being disloyal.
“Why is he going to media outlets that are fairly hostile to the president at this point?” Ingraham asked. “What do you think?”
Ingraham was referring to Cohen’s phone chat with Trump-hating CNN pundit Don Lemon hours earlier, when he said the following: “I am unhappy to have my personal residence and office raided. But I will tell you that members of the FBI that conducted the search and seizure were all extremely professional, courteous and respectful. And I thanked them at the conclusion.”
Ingraham was baffled that Cohen spoke to Lemon, an avowed Trump hater who works for a network that attacks Trump around-the-clock. Byron York, a columnist for the Washington Examiner, suggested that Michael Cohen could be using the media to send a message to President Trump.
“To some degree, there are a lot of people in the White House who actually communicate to the president through the media,” York said. “They’re trying to send him a message.”
Sure, Fine. But CNN? Really? Literally, ANY other network would have been a better choice.
BPR notes that Stormy Daniels’ ATTENTION WH*RE HACK of a lawyer actually AGREES with Ingraham:
Interestingly, Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing former porn star Stormy Daniels, agreed with Ingraham, saying it’s “beyond stupid” for him to talk to CNN following the FBI raid. Naturally, Avenatti thinks it’s okay for him to yap to CNN.
“It may be good for CNN for Michael Cohen to be speaking to Don Lemon, but it’s moronic under the circumstances,” Avenatti told CNN pundit Anderson Cooper. “Any experienced attorney would tell a client not to speak to the press the day after the FBI executes three search warrants on your homes and your offices. This is just crazy, it’s ludicrous.”
While no Trump aide should take the advice of a rumored ambulance-chaser like Michael Avenatti, he does raise a good point.
Yup. This might actually be the only accurate thing to come out of that little weasel’s mouth.
Anyway… I’m not going to pretend to understand this move. I think it was an AWFUL idea.
