Michael Cohen reveals document he found showing Trump's recycled attacks
Former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen found a document among his papers at home from his ex-client, showing how he recycles rhetoric and attacks, thinking that they'll be successful.
Holding up a stack of papers, Cohen showed a note written in what seemed like Trump's handwriting, but Raw Story has not independently verified the note.
"What it says is 'Obama reps is (sic) using New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to target political enemies,'" Cohen read aloud, noting how remarkably similar it is to other Trump allegations. "All you have to do is remove Eric Schneiderman's name from it, put it into Letitia James, or put it into Jack Smith, or put it into anyone. It's the same language over and over. He thinks that it was beneficial to him then, which we all know it was not. He ended up paying close to $20 some-odd-million for the Trump University case. It did not work there, and it's not going to work here."
He went on to say that his lawyers aren't helping him in court, and they certainly didn't hurt Cohen the way they thought.
"These theatrics that he and his lawyers are doing every single day, it does not benefit him," Cohen continued. "Instead of schooling me, they should have schooled him on the proper way to answer a question. One, you don't make a fool out of yourself and then you don't get hit with a 6 or 700 million-dollar bill at the end of the day."
Cohen also said that one thing he saw when working with the Trump Organization is that anyone working for Donald had to do whatever he said, whether it made sense or not.
"Most people at the Trump Organization, if you had any dealings with Donald on a day-to-day basis, you had to do exactly what Chris Kise, Alina Habba, and Cliff Robert did, which is whatever it takes to stroke Donald's ego, in and out, in and out, all day long. That's what the real job is. Their job was not to lawyer and to ensure that whatever the best possible outcome that could be derived from his taking the stand would be achieved. No. Their entire goal was to create theatrics. Donald thinks that the theatrical is the way that he's going to win the election."
The more theatrical he is, the more he thinks his poll numbers will increase, Cohen explained. The same thing happened during his birther conspiracy campaign against former President Barack Obama.
