One of President Trump's former attorneys said he urged the president not to trust Michael Cohen to fully protect him, and warned that Cohen would eventually cooperate with federal prosecutors.

The attorney, Jay Goldberg, told the Wall Street Journal that he spoke to Trump on the phone on Friday. In that call, he reportedly told Trump that on a scale of 1 to 100, where 100 represents full protection of the president, Cohen "isn't even a 1."

"Michael will never stand up [for you]," Goldberg said he told Trump.

1. The story is delicious, but there's also this: what did the guy do? Talk to the idiot president

about this presumably confidential matter, then hang up and speed dial the WSJ to tell them what he said?

They're all jockeying for their fifteen minutes, and they're all willing to step on him to get it. I like that.

4. Really,...

...who would trust any low-life attorney willing to represent Trump?

One saying don't trust the other sure is a case of crappy, burned pots calling each other blackened.

5. Cohen and trump have been as thick as thieves for more than a decade. Cohen knows

Plenty, and probably has tons of info in the seized material. Trump is probably seething at Cohen right now and is ready to throw him under the bus,or off to prison, if it saves his own skin. If Cohen turns too, it is going to be a bloody, no holds barred fight.

6. If Cohen wants to avoid a Manafort sentence....

he better cut a deal. It's that or spend much of the rest of his life in a jail cell.

7. Birds of a feather,

and all that...

Here's hoping they both go down in ugly, messy flames.

9. They'll turn on each other soon,

Trump knows he'll flip, and he'll start distancing himself from him, then start his suggestions he's a liar, and he has no connections to him. They'll try to CONvince him to keep quiet because he'll give him a pardon, which Cohen knows it won't matter for him. They'll have him cornered, and facing many years behind bars, then he'll flip on trump. Goldberg understands Cohen, and tried to warn him of this, and like usual trump ignored his advice , and now is paying for it. Trump will also have many more turn against him as this moves forward, and they won't be nice to trump after how he's treated people. This is only the start of his people who'll turn on him that's in the White House now, or who have been there.
