ET TU, BRUTE?

Cohen Could Potentially Screw Trump Over in Multiple Ways

Michael Cohen, 2018's “Brutus,” might be up to more than just stabbing his own “Julius Caesar“ in the back.

Ever since Michael Cohen let a secret recording he made of President Trump talking about a payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal slip into the hands of the media, Trump has felt betrayed. This feeling isn't unfounded, as there are a myriad of ways with the tape and beyond that Cohen could potentially screw Trump over. Cohen claims to know some details about the Trump Tower meeting that may interest Special Counsel Robert Mueller and he may possess evidence that the McDougal payment broke campaign finance laws. While it may just look like Cohen is pulling a “Brutus” and stabbing his own “Julius Caesar” in the back, Cohen might cause Trump to do some irrational things out of anger and shoot himself in the foot.
