The National Enquirer, fervent Trump propaganda outlet, turns on lawyer Michael Cohen.

Courtesy of Mediaite:

The National Enquirer has taken a swing at President Donald Trump‘s embattled attorney, Michael Cohen. 

The tabloid has long had a reputation of serving as Trump’s media fixer, running salacious headlines such as “Hillary Framed Trump Family!” and “Proof! FBI Plot to Impeach Trump!” however, it is the first time it has turned on Trump’s legal fixer, Cohen. 

The publication’s parent company, American Media Inc., run by Trump-pal David Pecker, is also currently being sued by Playboy model Karen McDougal. She claims that AMI offered to buy the story of her alleged affair with Trump for $150,000, to then not publish it — known as a catch and kill agreement. 

The headline of the Enquirer’s latest cover, which reads “Trump Fixer’s Secrets and Lies!” also comes in the wake of Trump attempting to distance himself from his longtime attorney.

Make no mistake, if the National Enquirer has turned on Trump's fixer, that is because Donald Trump gave them the go ahead to do so.

Which means that Trump is tossing Cohen under the bus, and any loyalty that Cohen might feel toward his boss is completely misplaced.

So now we just have to wait and see how long it takes before Cohen and Mueller come together for their version of "Let's Make a Deal."

    Is there any wonder why the asshole has no friends and hasn't had them throughout his life? He's an ugly monster - inside and out.

    And, how many of his brood are just like him? Let's guess!!!

    The name 'Trump' isn't going to be fun to carry throughout the rest of their lives!

    How quickly will Melania divorce him after he's impeached, quits or the first term is over? I'm sure she is set for the rest of her life and that of her parents.

    1. She might as well do it now. Trump likes to be first and to break traditions. So let Trump be the first president to be divorced while in office.

    If Trump is throwing Cohen under the bus, it has to be because Trump thinks he is going to (or has already) flipped. Otherwise, he'd be saying nicey-nice things.

      What is obvious to me is that Cohen will never flip -- he's been told what will happen to him if he does... as in "it would be a shame if..." Standard Mob Practice and Cohen knows it. He wouldn't even trust Witness Protection.

      3:16 -- um, you do realize that trump often knows what is going to happen before we do, right? The WH gets calls for comment from reporters about stuff before it gets published and that sometimes gives him a heads up. Plus his attorneys might be getting info that hasn't leaked. All the leaks come from the trump team, and they would clearly not want this out there because it would be too damning. Team mueller isn't leaking so if a deal is made with Cohen, we won't know until something moves forward.

      Vague threats to Cohen though are super cool. Maybe throw some suggestions of prison rape to really bring the point home.

    In what universe does Trump think that attacking Cohen will convince him to keep his mouth shut? If anything, it will convince him to team up with Mueller, roll over and spill everything. Trump throws everyone under the bus. Surely Cohen isn't stupid enough not to recognize his pattern of behavior.

      Cohen has most likely flipped already. The deal for him is probably that he gets to be in a white-collar-crime prison, IOW, a 'resort' prison, with no locked doors, and free in-and-out privileges. Or one, where he will be protected from the main population, maybe in a solitary cell with all the bodily comforts.

    Evangelical Meeting May Signal the End of Trump’s Presidency

    ...How can these so-called Christians support the most vile and corrupt president the United States has ever had? This is a deep mystery that many political observers have tried to figure out.

    Perhaps the best explanation is also the most cynical one: their motivations for supporting Trump have nothing to do with religion or spirituality but are all about obtaining and keeping political power.

    Recently NPR reported that a group of Evangelical leaders is extremely concerned about the effect that Trump’s scandals will have on the midterm elections. Because they are totally committed to seeing Republicans stay in power, many (tax-exempt) religious organizations have done everything possible to help GOP candidates get elected — including Trump.

    So what disturbs these Evangelicals about Trump is not his immorality or dishonesty but the fact that he may hurt Republican chances of keeping control of Congress.

    Was Donald Trump’s Ronny Jackson nomination a setup all along?

    ...Trump’s nomination of Ronny Jackson was a disaster from the start. Jackson was never going to get the votes. He was sunk even before someone tipped off the Senate committee vetting him that there were alleged troubles in his personal life. Trump made one of the dumbest nominations of all time, and then he had terrible luck on top of it. Yet the result of all this is that Trump now has something to hit Tester over the head with as he heads into a tricky reelection race that could swing the balance of power in the Senate in November.

    ...When you consider that Jon Tester is a Democrat in a red state, and that he’s arguably the only Democratic Senator who’s vulnerable in November, you have to ask what the odds are of all this being a coincidence. Trump nominated a guy who was guaranteed to fail, but who was going to be vetted by a committee where Tester plays a powerful role. Tester then got fed all these accusations about the nominee, some of which appear to be true, and all of which he was duty bound to investigate, and two of those accusations just happened to be tailor made to be disproven, but not until after Tester was married to it.

    ...If Donald Trump nominated Ronny Jackson to run the VA, just so he could leak a mix of true and false claims about Jackson to Jon Tester, just so some of those accusations could be disproven, just so Trump could then attack Tester for having supposedly smeared Jackson, in order to create a scandal for Tester as he heads into reelection, then whoever came up with it is brilliantly evil. Trump isn’t half that smart. He doesn’t seem to have any remaining advisers smart enough to have come up with it. But either Trump saw a stupid move turn into a monumentally lucky break, or someone masterminded this to work out the way it did.

    Something doesn’t add up with this latest Trump Tower meeting revelation

    ...That leaves an entirely different scenario: Putin told Veselnitskaya to go on American television and confess to being a Russian spy. Of course the only reason for Putin to do this would be if he were looking to hurt Donald Trump. A lot of people are under the impression that Putin’s plan with Trump has always simply been general chaos in America. That’s a nice bonus for him, but Putin’s primary goal – by far – has always been to get U.S. sanctions against Russia eased. Those sanctions have personally cost Putin billions of dollars out of his own pocket, and they’ve made his oligarchs far less than happy with him.


    Simply put, Putin cares about sanctions, sanctions, and sanctions. Trump has largely managed to prevent Congress from implemting additional sanctions against Russia. But Trump has utterly failed in his task of reducing Obama-era sanctions against Russia. Trump has periodically failed, but he keeps failing. Trump failed badly on sanctions last summer, and right after that, Donald Trump Jr’s meeting with the Russians conveniently leaked to the media. At the time, Palmer Report asked the question of whether Putin might have leaked it, in order to hurt Trump Jr, as a way of trying to motivate Trump Sr to find a way to reduce sanctions.

    Now that Donald Trump has recently blown it on Russian sanctions yet again, suddenly the Russian lawyer who conspired with Donald Trump Jr is on NBC News loudly admitting that she’s really a Russian spy. Did Vladimir Putin tell her to do this as a way of punishing Trump Sr by further harming Trump Jr? Or has Putin just given up on Trump entirely, and decided to begin finishing him off?
