@realDonaldTrump :

- If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen! [0844 EDT]

- I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” - make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man! [0921 EDT]
