Buckle up, everyone. This ride’s about to get bumpy.
Michael Cohen tells me in first in-depth interview since FBI raids on his home and office that family and country, not President Trump, have his ‘first loyalty’https://t.co/7r2aM9Tus5 pic.twitter.com/WyZ6IOyGL8

That interview will air this morning, so plan on the rest of the news cycle today to be completely devoted to it, because this is what the MSM has been salivating over.
You recall that FBI agents raided Cohen’s house back in April. Last month, Trump said he hasn’t spoken to Cohen in a long time, and confirmed that Cohen is no longer his lawyer.
And then there was the whole Tom Arnold hullabaloo, which no one really knows what to make of, considering that Tom Arnold is certifiably batsh*t.
Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers are hoping that whatever intel the FBI got their hands on in the raids will offer ALL KINDS OF EVIDENCE of Trump colluuuuuuding with the Russians. Or evidence of Trump doing something – ANYTHING – that would be considered impeachment-worthy. And who knows? Perhaps the four million documents seized DO offer evidence of something juicy. Like, what if Trump slept with a porn star 12 years ago or something? CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE.
Attorney-client privilege isn’t likely to fly here, as a “special master in charge” of going through all the documents seized claims that only 161 of the four million are protected by that privilege. Seems legit.
And last Thursday, Cohen tweeted this:
My family & I are owed an apology. After 2 years, 15 hours of testimony before House & Senate under oath & producing more than 1000 documents, dossier misreports 15 allegations about me. My entire statement must be quoted- I had nothing to do with Russian collusion or meddling!

So yeah. Today should be an interesting day.
