Michael Cohen to plead Fifth in Stormy NDA-case.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/michael-cohen-file-emergency-stay-quash-stormy-daniels-case-plead-fifth-report/

“Well, we’ve learned moments ago — within the last two hours — that Michael Cohen will be filing a motion tomorrow in our case, an emergency motion, to stay or temporarily stop our case and the grounds for that motion are going to be that it is his intention to plead the 5th amendment against self-incrimination if our case goes forward, in light of potential criminal jeopardy that he finds himself in,” Avenatti revealed. “So, this is a stunning development.”

...

“If Michael Cohen pleads the Fifth, then we want to turn to the next individual, which would be the president, to provide us information as to what happened here,” Avenatti answered.

“Hopefully the president would not plead the Fifth,” he continued. “I think that would be a stunning, shocking development in the history of our nation to have him plead the Fifth.”

Cohen doesn't want to incriminate himself in a trial whether or not an NDA is valid??? You hear that rattling? That's skeletons in the closet.

Grand juries are for criminal action, this is civil.

He'd be leaning out the window of a third-floor walkup with his .38 snub-nose revolver, yelling "You'll never take me alive, copper!"

I mean, he likes to be thought of as a Tough Guy, right? He needs to be watching more old Edward G. Robinson movies to see how it's done.
