leaks out, once it becomes apparent WHO would have motivation for their story NOT to come out, that a figure became too "hot" to touch. But, given Russia in the mix (and Trump and his sociopathic minions' total disregard for morality and legality), I can no longer be reassured. Cohen needs security and I hope he gets it.

8. Megyn Kelly hired protection due to threats from Trumpsters spurred on by Michael Cohen

“Michael Cohen, who is Trump’s top lawyer and executive vice president with the Trump Organization had retweeted ‘let’s gut her,’ about me,” Kelly said. “At a time when the threat level was very high, which he knew. And Bill Shine, an executive vice president of Fox, called him up to say, ‘You got to stop this. We understand you are angry but she’s got three kids and is walking around New York.’ ”

“And he didn’t much care,” Kelly continued. “And what Bill Shine said to Michael Cohen was, ‘Let me put it to you in terms you can understand: If Megyn Kelly gets killed it is not going help your candidate.’ ”

Let me put this in terms you can understand. Cohen took to Twitter to call Kelly a liar and retweet people calling her a “snake” and a “psycho.”

Cohen’s basis for calling Kelly a liar is that “[I never said] that I didn’t care about her fears and that her children were in danger.” Kelly didn’t say that Cohen said that, of course. Kelly said that Shine, who has since been promoted to co-president of Fox News, felt that Cohen seemed so indifferent to the danger his and Trump’s actions were putting Kelly in that he felt compelled to explain to Cohen that it might hurt his boss’ political chances if she were murdered. Cohen, for his part, did not deny on Twitter that this is what Shine said.
