Trump keeps saying he’s innocent. So why does he keep sounding like he’s guilty?
As concern grew inside his orbit that Michael Cohen might become a cooperating witness to federal investigators, President Trump issued a declaration about his longtime personal lawyer and fixer.
“Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble,” Trump tweeted over the weekend. He added: “Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that.”
By asserting that the government would not be able to “flip” Cohen, Trump invited a question: If the Russia probe is the “witch hunt” the president says it is — and if he is as innocent as he so often proclaims — what incriminating evidence would Cohen have on Trump that would give him leverage to flip?
It was only the latest instance of the president adopting a posture vis-a-vis his legal troubles that is both combative and defensive — and, perhaps unwittingly, seems to assume guilt.
Manafort and now Cohen with Flynn wedged somewhere in between must be giving Dotard the runs.
So the $64,000 question is will Cohen flip? Cannot imagine someone going to jail for a sociopath like Trump. Besides, there has to be a reason why the case was referred to New York Feds.
