PEOPLE’S EXHIBIT 260 - TEXTS BETWEEN COHEN AND MAGGIE HABERMAN OF NYT (2/13/18)

HOFFINGER: Who is Maggie Haberman?
COHEN: She is a reporter for the New York Times.

FROM MC TO MH: Big boss just approved me responding to complaint and statement. Please start writing and I will call you soon

End snip.

Can Miss Maggie be charged with election interference? Conspiracy?

[Irish_Dem]

1. Everything Trump touches dies.

Lost reputations and prison time seems to be the norm.

[BoRaGard]

2. She can be charged with Journalistic Malpractice -- by her peers

the Times has become so twisted. Never thought it would come to this.

But it has. The Times is a repuke propaganda outlet, sans honor and integrity.

[DURHAM D]

3. Didn't she win a Pulitzer?

Should she return it?

[yorkster]

4. For Fiction?

😁

[sdfernando]

21. Basically acting as a stenographer is what some

might consider a form of plagiarism. I'm pretty sure the Pulitzer organization would revoke for some caught plagiarizing.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. Considering what happened to Dan Rather in the media, do you think this will be enough for the NYT

to give her walking papers.

[UTUSN]

10. His was as target of a trap plus sloppiness. Hers is of active perpetrating.

[chowder66]

6. I'm confused. Isn't she just doing her job?

Did she know what was or wasn't true?

I'm not a fan by any means but I'm not understanding what the problem is. Cohen just contacted her to write what Trump's response was to the story or am I completely missing something.

Be nice, I lost a lot of sleep so I'm not firing on all cylinders.

[Gore1FL]

7. I'm no expert in this, but I think it comes down to writing the story she was given...

...rather than performing the due diligence journalism requires to make sure it's accurate and not just a vehicle for furthering lies.

[Bev54]

13. She has been a glorified stenographer for Trump for years

[chowder66]

14. Thanks. That makes more sense to me.

I'm hesitant to make assumptions when there isn't much to go on so I appreciate your insight.

[FelineOverlord]

9. 🤔

“Who is Maggie Haberman?"

"She is a New York Times 'reporter' who always wrote what we told her to write."

https://x.com/blacksab67/status/1790396757471531242?s=46&t=DRPhMtvG5X3dupxk0yA3ig

[Patton French]

22. Well, I think this is the part indicating it goes beyond what you say.

“Please start writing and I will call you soon.”

[chowder66]

24. Yep.

Understood. Which is probably what she said.

[Sibelius Fan]

8. I instantly change the channel when that RW hack shows up on the TV.

[Bev54]

11. Been saying this for years, can't stop laughing. Finally

There is backup. Wonder if CNN will have her on tonight, they love her over there.

[AmBlue]

12. Can't wait to see her spluttering response

As to how and why she is just a stenographer... trying to pass herself off as a reporter.

[Javaman]

15. I guess the times must always have one on their staff

That’s in the bag for any right wing asshole

Remember Judith miller?

[niyad]

18. Indeed we do.

[Mr.Bill]

16. And can she

have her own show on Fox News?

[returnee]

17. What did she actually write...

…in response to this message?
Any link/s?

[not fooled]

19. Her mother does PR and has ties to red don

It’s the Money, Honey.


Nancy Haberman, Maggie’s mother, works for the PR firm, Rubenstein, which was founded by Howard Rubenstein – a PR legend, who was once called “the dean of damage control” by Rudy Giuliani.


At Rubenstein, Nancy Haberman is no coffee girl. Her bio lists her as Executive Vice President, and gives her history as "Rubenstein, Home with kids for six years, Harper and Row Publishers, New York Post." Later in her bio, it states, "Has a family of journalists. And the kids she was home with now have kids of their own." Nancy’s area of expertise: "Traditional media, i.e. print, radio, and broadcast. Big emphasis on New York media. General interest stories, medical, breaking news, nonprofits, education… Lends media support to other people’s clients with her relationships established over 30 years."


Although Nancy claims she’s never “met” Donald Trump, she has admitted to doing PR for him (because, it would be impossible to deny).

20. MAGA Haberman?

[DBoon]

28. MAGA implies full committment to a political ideology

I think Haberman illustrates the banality of evil. Just doing her job without regard to the ethical consequences.

Like Eichmann.

[Voltaire2]

32. She, like Eichman, was an enthusiastic volunteer.

They were both eagerly following orders, showing initiative, real team players.

[DBoon]

34. OK,like the real Eichman

and not the boring bureaucrat of legend

[Voltaire2]

36. That was an invention of Arendt.

The actual facts of Eichman’s life and career do not comply with her perspective.

[jmbar2]

35. Well said!

[PortTack]

23. And does the NYT have any intention of firing her, or doing something...anything? I'LL WAIT!

[berksdem]

25. Why would they fire her?

She is doing NYT work of propagating fiction for the right. She will most likely get a raise!

[Tetrachloride]

29. True colors: not fired (yet)

[H2O Man]

26. No.

[SunSeeker]

27. Haberman was doing the same thing Pecker was doing: being Trump's stenographer. nt

[soldierant]

30. Was she in court today?

That would make it perfect if she was there and had to listen to this. Or else blush furiously and attempt to leave in front of God and everybody. God knows it's not sufficient punishment, but it would at least be something. Lordy, will the Times print it?

[Farmer-Rick]

33. Yes, she was

"As Cohen’s texts were read in court Tuesday, Haberman was in attendance covering the trial."

https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/homenews/media/4662891-michael-cohen-maggie-haberman-text-messages-donald-trump-hush-money-trial/amp/

She was the number 1 person who kept bringing up Hillary's emails even into October before the election. Then Comey came out with his letter that was full of crap.

"Tuesday was not the first time the texts between Cohen and Haberman were made public. The messages were also shown to the jury considering the case on May 2.

Haberman, a veteran reporter for the Times, is well known across the world of media and politics for her reporting on the former president. She was part of the team that won a 2018 Pulitzer Prize for its reporting on Trump’s connections to Russia and published a book last year on his public life and first term in office.'

She made bank off her relationship with Trump.

31. Haberman's article from 2/13/2018

Michael D. Cohen, Trump’s Longtime Lawyer, Says He Paid Stormy Daniels Out of His Own Pocket
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/us/politics/stormy-daniels-michael-cohen-trump.html?searchResultPosition=1

Probably need a subscription to read it. It's a long article but here are the first four paragraphs:

By Maggie Haberman
Feb. 13, 2018

Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, said on Tuesday that he had paid $130,000 out of his own pocket to a pornographic-film actress who had once claimed to have had an affair with Mr. Trump.

In the most detailed explanation of the 2016 payment made to the actress, Stephanie Clifford, Mr. Cohen, who worked as a counsel to the Trump Organization for more than a decade, said he was not reimbursed by the Trump Organization or the campaign for the payment.

“Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly,” Mr. Cohen said in a statement to The New York Times. “The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful, and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone.”

He declined to answer several follow-up questions, including whether Mr. Trump had been aware that Mr. Cohen made the payment, why he made the payment or whether he had made similar payments to other people over the years.

Not sure, but to me it just sounds like Cohen is replying that he will provide a statement, probably the one above in quotes.
