WHEN YOU GET TO MY DOOR, TELL THEM BORIS SENT YOU

Jonathan Chait, in New York Magazine (link below) speculates that Michael Cohen has already flipped – or at least that the Trump Crime Family believes that he’s already flipped.  That’s why Trump’s pals at the National Enquirer are trying to sabotage Cohen’s reputation.  As Chait puts it, “Discrediting Cohen is a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency move that makes no sense unless Cohen has already flipped.”

Revelatory highlight:  Cohen was involved in an insurance scam in New York that investigators named Operation BORIS.  “BORIS” stood for Big Organized Russian Insurance Scam, in which Russian emigres staged auto accidents and tried to sue for medical expenses. 

Revelatory quote: “Cohen is not, as I assumed before reading the story, an unethical lawyer who enjoys acting like a goon. He is (almost certainly) a crook who happens to have a law degree.”

Yep, Donald Trump hires only the best people.
