Michael Cohen just pays himself $130,000 to shut up (I'm blind, but I can smell fear)

There are some doubts about the president's current attorney, Michael Cohen. Apparently, Trump and his advisers are increasingly worried that Cohen might be susceptible to cooperating with federal prosecutors. The obvious answer: Michael Cohen just pays himself $130,000 to shut up. --Stephen Colbert

One Trump team lawyer says Cohen’s loyalty depends on how much prison time he’s facing: "Is he two years loyal? Is he 10 years loyal? Is he 15 years loyal?" 15 years? Michael Cohen disclosed Sean Hannity’s name in court after being asked twice. He’s not five minutes loyal! --Stephen Colbert

And let's just pause a moment to notice that they have jumped immediately to whether Michael Cohen will turn state's evidence against the president of the United States to avoid jail time, which everybody believes is coming for at least one of these guys. The word "innocent" is nowhere in this conversation. Even justice is like "I'm blind, but I can smell fear." --Stephen Colbert
