Michael Cohen hits potential Trump lawyers with advice

Michael Cohen, who has been Donald Trump’s lawyer and fixer for more than a decade, had a strong recommendation for lawyers who might consider working with the former president.

As Trump faces impending charges over an undisclosed cash payment to adult actor Stormy Daniels, which saw Cohen himself convicted and sent to prison, the lawyer told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Friday:

“The smartest thing a lawyer can do if Donald Trump asks you to represent him in this nightmare he’s about to live: run.”

“Run as fast as you can. And take your time in Florida and especially in Palm Beach. Run somewhere east or west, but definitely don’t get involved with Donald. I would say yes,” he added.

Cohen said Trump has so far shirked his responsibility and has always thrown those around him under the bus.

The revolving door of lawyers now working with Trump has been a “clown show,” Cohen continued. He imagined himself “getting out of a Mini Cooper with floppy shoes and a red nose because what’s being said doesn’t make sense.”

Video of Trump’s new lawyer Joe Tacopina trying to tear a piece of paper from MSNBC’s Ari Melber during an interview went viral this week.

“There are so many people around (Trump) in terms of lawyers that the big joke going on right now is that ‘MAGA’ really stands for ‘make lawyers get lawyers,’ and unfortunately that’s really the truth,” he added. .
