1. I don't get it

Sir History has hired Michael Cohen?

Is he saying History hired Michael Cohen? Michael Cohen was hired by History?

Or is he saying Sir, You Donald Trump hired Michael Cohen in the past?

I don't understand the word History.

2. History has hired Cohen.

When history tells the story of His Orangeness, Michael Cohen will have a prominent role in the story.

6. yea

didn't Cohen work for tRump for 20 years. Cohen will hopefully give the Special Counsel more.

3. The first one

He personified history and suggested that Michael Cohen will now be a historical figure.

5. The "sir" was a sarcastic way of addressing Trump. And by saying Cohen's been "hired by"

history, he's making the point that Cohen has a much larger role now than he ever had as anyone's attorney, including Trump's. I'd guess Blow is thinking of John Dean's role in the Watergate investigation.

4. So instead you hire Guiliani? HAHAHAHAHA

How's THAT workin' for ya'?

[miss-nasty]

7. Yes him too

History hired that little freak too
