Said Michael Cohen, on MSNBC, quoted in "Michael Cohen Worries Trump Will Spill Secrets in Prison 'for a Bag of Tuna'" (Daily Beast).
June 2, 2024
"You now have a Republican leading candidate who’s a felon, who’s going to be debriefed on national security issues knowing how loose-lipped he is."
"You do not allow somebody like Donald Trump to be declassified, especially now as a felon. So, my concern is, in a prison situation, he is willing to give away these secrets, as I always say, for a bag of tuna or a book of stamps. He will do it because [he] does not care."

In the meantime, 100,000 D.C. lizards and snakes who previously lied and flouted the law slither around as fugitives from justice.
Liars are gonna lie. It's what they do.
Convicted perjurer sez what?
Cohen lies again.
Trump can fund his own commissary.
Trump’s not going to jail.
His prison rallies would be Must See TV.
Go ahead, Dumbocrats, put Trump in jail. By all means, if you cannot think of any other way to drag that demented husk of a man back into the White House.
You can use a can of tuna to tame a seagull, I know that. Then there's seal prison.
So, Michael Cohen has now become the go-to guy for anti-Trump wisdom? Who could have guessed that?
Is Cohen the fulcrum for their victory plan? So it might appear to some.
After this fails, what next? Stay tuned.
It didn't have to be this way, but it IS this way. This reader thinks that the polls will guide their next move, but I'm not sure what those polls are going to say, or whether they have any real information we can trust.
Projection. Its purely Cohen's take, what he would do.
Yeah, just like the last time he was president.
Some con is gonna go down in history as being the guy who shivved Cohen.
A folk hero.
Michael Cohen is now a wiseman to the people who celebrate Pride Month.
Trump is going to get some sort of prison time.
MSNBC is paying Cohen for interviews after he testified against Trump? Who would have thought.
Cohen sold his soul to save his ass. Nothing he has to say is believable or relevant any longer. It's only a matter of time until he is found tits up in the gutter in a dark, dank alley somewhere. Good for him.
Spreading FUD. I have no idea what he means by "You do not allow somebody like Donald Trump to be declassified". I assume he is talking about being 'read out' or 'debriefed', which Trump already would have been, assuming the Biden admin did not intend to keep him read in to programs as a potential advisor (which I understand is normally the case) as Trump would no longer have had a need to know. But, regardless, even when debriefed, you still sign, for the second time, paperwork acknowledging that you can never divulge information, to do so is a federal felony punishable by up to ten years in prison, etc...etc...
Not sure how convincing Cohen sounds to those who aren't involved in such matters, but to me he sounds like a complete moron. Which, as we would say on the boat: checks with chart.
If my use of the word moron makes any of you feel uncomfortable, feel free to replace it with something more fun like ignoramus.
They got their new and improved Michael Avenatti. We’ll see how that works out for them.
I'd rather not think about what Michael did for a can of tuna but here we are.
Dese, Dem and Dose…
Lying scumbag piece of shit felon works even better.

If a Clinton was officially in charge, the term would be Arkancide. If Obama was officially in charge, it would fall under the umbrella term “Chicago Way”.
Interesting that guys like Cohen and Giuliani did things for Trump that led to indictments and even jail time and that Trump shows no loyalty and, in fact, scorns them and offers no assistance, but he remains a heroic figure to so many here. Mafia dons look principled by comparison.
When I want to hear from perjurer Michael Cohen, I'll send him a little love note telling him how much I admire him and want his opinion. NOT.
Kangaroo says what?
Trump will be briefed by his actual enemy, in all probability. Say the CIA has always been behind it.
The Democrat/Barbarians are going to replace Biden with Michael Cohen as their standard bearer. Running a convicted felon for president makes more sense than a senile, old doddering panderer racist.
Oh brother. Every time I think we've hit peak stupid, some legacy media outlet comes along as says, "hold my beer."
Is MSNBC calling this perjurer a courageous Republican?
What mindnumbrobot said.
Is there anyone on either side who takes this man seriously?
"Former FEC Commissioner Blasts Trump Conviction"
This is good news, finally. Trump’s signature approach was acquired from Roy Cohn, the political adviser to Senator Joe McCarthy. It’s simple: win the 6 o’clock news. Number one on the news cycle becomes number one in the country., i.e. President.
Cohn’s insight was that it didn’t matter if one won the top of the news by stripping naked in Church; what ultimately mattered was that you were always mentioned at the top of the news.
Cohn created his system is 1953, leveraging it to surprising effectiveness on behalf of McCarthy’s (backdoor) run for Presidency, beginning in 1953. And then later using it to similar effectiveness on behalf of various mobsters and developers in New York, including Trump. Where he adapted it to the New York Court system. His approach: delay, deny, attack the Judge and jurors. And do so always on the six o’clock news.
Americans believe McCarthy/Cohn were soundly defeated in 1954,. That the American system of governance and justice system triumphed at that time. Showing its inherent strength. The opposite, in fact, is true. McCarthy/Cohn succeeded too easily. Getting much farther than they should have. McCarthy ultimately actually defeated himself—he was an out-of-control alcoholic. (Trump is a teetotaler.)
Essentially, the virus remained. And since 2016 has returned in full virulence. Worse than in 1954. Because, today, what matters is still winning the top of the six o’clock news, but also TikTok. Democrats shouldn’t pretend that Trump will not do whatever is required to win the top of the news cycle. And TikTok. That must be simply accepted. Romney is wrong about “oxygen”.
However, what has now happened is that, in the independent forum of a county courtroom, Cohn’s system finally hit a brick wall, the truth. Cohn’s system worked—until it didn’t. Arguably, akin to the McCarthy Army trials. But more significant, historically. Trump will now lose. Which hopefully means that none of his wannabes—like Senator Hawley—will follow suit.
Guitar Joe shows he’s unaware of what Cohen went to jail for. Bidirectional loyalty seems to be no problem between Trump and Flynn, Navarro, Stone etc. Giuliani has not been convicted of anything. Amazing what false factoids you guys glean from the DNC Media and it’s a good reminder to the rest of us that were Trump as crooked as the people framing him they wouldn’t need to fabricate these stories and “novel prosecutions” that are weak on the law but strong with buzzwords that make Leftist hearts flutter.
Iman thank you for voicing my immediate thoughts at 6:45 so I could get right to batting away the disinformation dispensed.
Are Michael Cohen and Chuck the same person?
i'm pretty sure Cohen had a typo.. The correct spelling is BIDEN
Yes cohen hid 4 million dollars in taxss and he got a parking ticket fine for it
He defrauded the company he worked for and wsnt charged try again schlemiel
Michael Cohen, telling America what to think. On MSNBC.
In what universe should I take this seriously?
And what of the people who do? What do we do with that lot? I mean, besides calling them Democrats?
"as I always say, a bag of tuna"
Huh? Who the hell ever says "a bag of tuna"? Much less always?
Lockstep Media loop:

Any chance we could ignore this twerp?
Rocco, you’re a smart person, Obama is President and will be until the Chicago Way fully becomes the Beijing Way.
MSNBC is MicroSoft NBC...
We all know The MicroSoft kingpin is a Covid Jab Hitler.
MSNBC should be shunned and laughed at. Mocked mercilessly non-stop.
People who watch it are not serious people. These are people who would support Hitler.
Michael Cohen Worries....
Postcards from the dog walking area.
Geez, Michael Cohen on MSNBC. I blame Trump for bringing this monster to life.
I'm with the outlaw.
John Henry
Nelson Mandela was a convicted felon. As was ghandi.
And our Lord Jesus Christ
John Henry
Well mandela was an actual terrorist
The details in wilbur smiths rage
The lies never stop. Stone him, stone him.
Remember when the deep thinkers of cnn, msnbc etc seriously promoted Michael Avenetti for president?
Is this more of the same?
John Henry
About what mandela did
Maybe Cohen and Avenetti should open a practice, if they can agree on whose name comes first.
Cohen is unserious and/or insane.
I would be more worried about Biden and his cohorts selling national secrets to foreign powers for a lot more than a bag of tuna. Or, in Biden's case, 10% of a bag of tuna.
Who has Michael Cohen getting his own MSNBC show on their 2024 bingo cards?
Are there any secrets he hasnt sold off yet
Michael Cohen is now a journalism source. Nice.
Several comments come rushing into the old cortex:
So? Whatcha gonna do? Send him to more-jail?
Isn't this admitting that prisons are a dead end - anyone going to prison is declared irredeemable and a criminal in actuality for life?
It never ends - Trump Derangement Syndrome doesn't stop.
Biden has crates of secrets in his garage (or did) and yet 'honest' Cohen worries about Trump.
Q: should Trump and his lawyers make a federal case out of ths? or stay state level so as to MNYGA
Michael Cohen’s worry about Trump’s spilling the beans in prison is rich enough to clog arteries.
Summary execution is the obvious solution.
Says a convicted felon who's running for office this Fall....
OMG. I thought Jews were smart?
Trump doesn't need to trade information for tuna as he has a billion or more dollars and, if in prison, will have whatever he wants.
What a dumb fucker.
PS...last time I checked, senile Joe was blabbing secrets to his ghost writer...
One should respect the insight of one who spent 13 and a half months in the joint.
"Guitar Joe shows he’s unaware of what Cohen went to jail for." I know why he went to jail, and that he was convicted of stuff he did while working for Trump. Did he do it at Trump's request? Well, I guess the argument here is that he didn't but how many people are going to take the fall for this guy, and be savaged by him when they do it, before you at least think there's something odd about it?
No he dodged taxes to the tune of 7 million dollars try again
The American people's opinion is more important than Michael Cohen's. That Michael Cohen doesn't see it that way speaks volumes about him.
MSNBC and Cohen deserve each other. Maybe they could give him a prime time show.
I, for one, hope that the judge is smart enough to impose a minimal sentence - $100 court costs, say - and let the "ignominy" of this supposed felony conviction be sold to the public by the Dems (until overturned on appeal, as it will be) rather than further tarnish the judiciary of NY State. But I doubt he will take that saving path out of his previous error-filled performance at the bench. Trump will be sentenced to jail, if only so this judge can enter the history books for doing it, again until overturned on appeal.
Genius Lawyer Cohen just made the exact opposite of he argument he thought he was making.
By his logic, we should never prosecute any ex-president because he would become a mortal enemy of the country, able to sell out our secrets, and incentivized to do so, whether for incrementally better prison conditions, mere revenge, or physical survival.
That was probably part of Trump’s logic in not prosecuting Hillary. (Yes, not a president, but pretty close)
And Ford’s in pardoning Nixon.
Genius Lawyer Cohen.

Now, prosecute Bragg, Merchan and Biden for conspiracy to corrupt the 2024 presidential election.
“I have no idea what he means by "You do not allow somebody like Donald Trump to be declassified".

I think that what this may be about is that Presidential candidates, after their formal nominations, are routinely given highly classified national security briefings. CIA sources have already leaked that they expected that he wouldn’t be briefed on much was happening in that area because they didn’t trust him. My thoughts were that it was the kettle calling the well scrubbed pot “black”. Whom do more Americans distrust? Trump? Or the CIA?
Keep fighting the good fight, Mike (MJB Wolf)!
Meanwhile a demented, traiterous Pedo (Pete) is at the helm.
Said Michael Cohen, on MSNBC
Stopped reading right there.
What is the over/under for the number of times the term “convicted felon“ appears in the media over the next five months?
"What is the over/under for the number of times the term “convicted felon“ appears in the media over the next five months?"
People pay any attention to "the media"? Low information voters, no doubt.
Double hearsay on the rocks
It is almost as if they didn't learn their lesson from the Avennetti fiasco.

This is the type of stupidity I would expert from Beria's intern.

Trouble is, there are a lot of those.
