Michael Cohen Lashes Out at Media Again: Ignoring Jobs Numbers to Focus on My Emails

Source: Mediate




by Josh Feldman | 11:35 am, March 10th, 2018

Trump lawyer Michael Cohen‘s been reacting to the scrutiny he’s under this week by calling it a “witch hunt” and decry the “attacks” against him by the media.

And after making those comments to ABC News yesterday, Cohen took to Twitter to attack the media again by saying they should be talking about the jobs numbers more:




Cohen, of course, is currently under scrutiny due to the payment he made to Stormy Daniels and the use of his Trump Organization email to do so. Cohen claims the funds “were taken from my home equity line and transferred internally to my LLC account in the same bank.”

CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski fact-checked Cohen’s claim that no one other than Fox News was covering the jobs numbers:

I just can't stop thinking of Trump's lawyers. Nunberg, Cohen, and Ty what's-his-name. Talk about a taxi full of clowns!!

A PORN STAR has retained a lawyer better than all of them!

.... robbery? What you should be looking at is the pretty flowers."

BTW the emails where on Trump's campaign account too.

One of the first things Hitler did as he rose to power was to take over the press. Sometimes it was by forcing publishers to sell their companies at below-market prices, other times he just killed the journalists who offended him.

Donnie Two Scoops and his minions would have approved.

The increase in the number of jobs only matters if you are one of the people who fall within the number of newly employed. It also doesn't reflect the kinds of jobs, nor the wages.

Cohen needs to be reminded the old advertising saw, "Sex Sells." The very idea of a president of the United States -- especially one as universally despised as Trump -- having an affair with a porn star so soon after his third wife gave birth to his third son, is so outside of social norms it isn't going away until every ounce of salacious detail has been ferreted out and analyzed to oblivion.
