Sharpton: Michael Cohen vows to do right by his family, America

[NCTraveler]

Michael D. Cohen appears to want the world to know that as former boss Donald Trump is besieged by investigations into Russian influence on the 2016 election and into alleged, pre-election hush payments to women who claimed they'd had affairs with the president, the attorney vows to do what's right.

Rev. Al Sharpton appeared Friday on "MSNBC Live with Ali Velshi" and spoke of his morning meeting with Cohen: "He kept saying to me over and over again, 'Reverend, I’m going to do what’s right for the country, I’m going to do what’s right for my family.'"

Sharpton said he's known Cohen as Trump's right-hand man for nearly 20 years, and that the president's former personal attorney requested the meeting "several days ago." The symbolic breaking of bread, Sharpton said, is a signal to Trump as the reverend and the president have previously been adversaries on social justice issues.

1. Does this mean he will flip?

I hope so.

2. I feel like the presence of Al Sharpton means we're at a certain stage in the story.

Any story he appears in. The end of the middle? Beginning of the end?

3. Do what's right for the country? - EXCUSE me,Cohen wouldN"T be in this mess

if he had done the right thing for the country...the right thing would have been to notify authorities...

NOW - with all this POS is doing to the country, cohen wants to do the right thing???WTF...aiding and abetting a crime, IS a crime...

(no offense to the Rev)

[woodsprite]

7. And who's saying what's the right thing for his family?

He could interpret that as telling the truth, spilling the beans, and coming clean

OR

Continuing to lie his ass off to keep him and his family from getting special delivery Novichok packages from Russia.

9. Exactly - NOW he is doing the right thing for his family? Shortsighted...greedy...

wifee-poo had to know...the money was just pouring in...and that was okay? - I'm going to project here..if my husband was involved in nefarious activity I would know....Trumps reputation was well known..wifee-poo..a co-conspirator...IMHO...probably questions in the investigation that need answering....

4. If he did that at the beginning,

instead of the easy, criminal way. His life wouldn't be where it is right now.

I guess he can see it now, ok then. Hurray, for us regular people. We live , if we're lucky and use some smarts, a less stressful life.

5. AS a secondary option..

He came to this patriotic stance, after he was caught. Real red white and blue citizen there. AFter "Mistuh Trump" wouldn't let him back in the 'circle of trust'.

[Golden Raisin]

6. Sh*t or get off the pot. Talk. Flip.

Stop hinting. Stop stalling. Take concrete action. As Trump's "fixer" for decades, including during the campaign, there's probably much he has to divulge if he's genuinely interested in "doing right" for the country.

8. Yep just like I'm still waiting on all of that

Evidence that Tm Arnold and Avenatti are going to show us.

11. Nobody has made him an offer yet I guess.

He is not giving up stuff for nothing

[wasupaloopa]

10. He said he would take a bullet for trumpski too
