It takes some time for Michael Cohen to work his way to a table at the grillroom of the Loews Regency Hotel, on Park Avenue. He’s been a regular at the hotel’s famous power breakfasts for more than two decades, and on several recent visits staff members reached out to him for handshakes and bro hugs. These days, the restaurant, with its twenty-seven-dollar pancakes and

Character of Cohen aside...
...the total grab of all of his records, and I mean all, and the violation of attorney/client privilege was a stunning blow to our Constitution. I heartily wish that the perpetrators are drawn and quartered...
...in a brine solution...
...with dull knives...

Cohen thought he was a big player and when the walls started closing in he tried to curry favor with the Mueller posse to get out of trouble. DC politics are brutal and he was always easily disposable.

When will writers like Toobin stop re-hashing
things that were found out not to be true by exhaustive investigations? Their hate for the President knows no bounds.

I for one wish Cohen well. The criminals are the democrat interrogators. Like Bush with Scooter Libby, I will never forgive Trump for not pardoning Cohen, Manafort and Stone and Flynn.

P.S. When Trump gives pardons to these men, then I will give a hoot about New York going after his bank records.

The title of this piece grabbed my attention. Then I saw the author´s name.
I refuse to waste my time and strain my patience by reading anything written by Jeffrey Toobin.

This stooge is going to go to jail kicking and screaming. It´s going to like a James Cagney movie on his way to the electric chair.

"leaving in his wake a grieving family, vanishing wealth,”
With $27 pancake “power breakfasts” at a posh NY hotel, it appears he has the wrong idea of what he should be doing with his last days as a free man.
Hugs from the staff = he’s been a big (insecure) tipper...

One last chance to stick it to President Trump and the only person interested was #NeverTrumper Toobin, a stooge himself. A pairing made in hell.
So the reader is supposed to believe that this rendition of what happened is the truth, coming out of Cohen’s mouth, massaged by Toobin? Be serious.

Be sure and let us know when prison doors clang shut behind him so we can raise a toast.

´He lied to reporters´. Is that a crime now? Reporters lie to us all the time.

Cohen made so many mistakes. They had nothing on him on the Trump-related charge. He could have beaten the "novel" campaign finance claim. And if he really made a misstatement on a 18% percent loan to value HELOC, it wasn´t material. He should have fought it. His wife could have retained counsel and fought the tax charge. There was no intent there. And the biggest mistake of all was hiring Lanny Davis, who apparently sold him down the river.

Who knew he was still out eating $27 pancakes?
How on earth did they break the attorney client privilege?
