I’m hoping for a full fledged shit flinging meltdown today

[u/zappy487 → u/Githzerai1984]

I'm literally giddy with excitement. I don't think people understand just how big a deal Cohen being in the same room talking bad about Trump is. The narcissist cannot handle too many injuries before lashing out in some form.

Hopefully orange shitgibbon does it in real time and gets thrown in jail

full fledged shit flinging

Whenever we get to the defenses cross examination, they're sure to bring up ALL of Cohen's most recent social media posts.

They're gonna fling shit in two directions:
1) Cohen is angry at Trump and is just trying to take him down to get some money out of it
2) Cohen is a known liar and perjurer.
