Trump Reportedly 'Fuming' About Cohen But Hasn't Said Anything for This Reason

The reaction to the news that Michael Cohen‘s lawyers have quit has been swift. While the full implications for Cohen remain to be seen, having your lawyers leave while you’re under criminal investigation by the federal government is not a positive development. Plus, a certain leader of the free world known as President Donald J. Trump is reportedly pretty worried that if he says anything about this, Cohen will tell all, whatever that is.

The New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman went so far as to hint that Trump, while angry about Cohen’s legal troubles and the bungling of the Stormy Daniels situation, is actually afraid of Cohen.

“Trump has been fuming about Cohen in private, blaming him for the messy Stormy Daniels situation,” Haberman said. “But he also is fearful of making that public because of chances it further pushes Cohen toward SDNY.”

What does this matter, you ask?

ABC News reported Wednesday that Cohen attorneys Stephen Ryan and Todd Harrison of the law firm McDermott, Will & Emery LLP are “not expected to represent him going forward” and that replacements for them haven’t been identified. It’s also important to note that Cohen cooperating with authorities was deemed “likely.”

At least one reporter has said that despite the departure of his lawyers and the whispers of cooperation with the feds, Cohen is sending a message to Trump for help.

1. Cohen message to Trump: "I need help."

Fat chance. In Trump World loyalty only flows in one direction -- toward Dear Leader. If you fuck up, you're on your own.

I think Donnie Two Scoops is a lot more worried about the obstruction of justice investigation than he lets on. He's always repeating, "NO COLLUSION!" but I haven't heard him yell, "No obstruction of justice!"

5. If there was a joint defense agreement in place

I would think it would be null and void now that the signing attorneys are no longer employed. Just a guess, he's already flipped just wants a new lawyer to walk him through the details.

6. Flip on that Stupid Monster, Cohen.

8. He sure should. If he doesn't, he is a dead man walking.

The Russians and the Russian mob won't leave a person that knows what he likely know walking around breathing, or even breathing in prison.

7. If I were Cohen I would beg to be taken into custody pronto.

Open windows, poisoned door knobs etc.
