whether someone is going to flip on you? If you're innocent there's nothing to flip.

innocent people can reasonably worry about someone else's testimony, but they worry about something being taken out of context or misinterpreted. they don't worry about someone "flipping" or going to the "other side".

they gotta admit he sure as hell *acts* like someone who's guilty.

the bias is insane. these are the same people who read guilt into any facial expression hillary made or whatever.

but donnie all but screams "of course i did it and my plan is to try to lie and bully my way into getting away with it" but they can't even allow for one moment that he might actually be guilty.

It is dismaying now to realize that 1/3 of the American electorate supports a traitor.

As evidence slowly came out against him and the people around him, he maintained an image of someone who was quite possibly innocent and unaware if the crimes around him.

This was one of the big reasons why the Saturday night massacre was such a big deal. It was a thuggish display of power and manipulation hard to reconcile with him being innocent.


Donnie's image already is of someone who is guilty as hell.

In the middle of the night, the wife tells me to flip over because I'm snoring. I know I'm not snoring, so I tell her I'm not going to flip!

Michael Cohen "makes up stuff" to get off easy -- because he will be able to recognize what they want, and will tell them what they want to hear.

That's what Trump said in one of his recent tweets, and that's what his former divorce lawyer Mr. Goldberg said in his strange interviews on so many different TV shows a couple of days ago. (Like, where did HE come from? Why now?)

Some seriously unhinged tweets from Trump this morning (crazy, even for him)

The New York Times and a third rate reporter named Maggie Habberman, known as a Crooked H flunkie who I don’t speak to and have nothing to do with, are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will “flip.” They use....

non-existent “sources” and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected. Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if.... it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media!
