.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump picks the wrong day to say, ‘All the crimes are on the other side.’
As recently as last year, Michael Cohen was a deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee and a prominent employee of the Trump Organization. As of this afternoon, however, Donald Trump’s former lawyer and “fixer” is a federal prison inmate.
Cohen gave a brief statement to reporters outside his New York City apartment Monday morning before jumping in a waiting car to travel to the Federal Correctional Institution, Otisville, a large federal prison complex in the Catskills region. And with that in mind, it was curious to see Trump declare on Twitter this morning, in an all-caps message, “All the crimes are on the other side.”For one thing, there’s no evidence that suggests the Democrats on “the other side” committed any crimes, at least not with regard to the allegations surrounding Trump and his operation.
George Papadopoulos, Trump’s former campaign foreign policy adviser, has already served a prison sentence, and Roger Stone will soon go on trial, his fate uncertain.
