Should you ever be asked to join Donald John Trump’s legal team, insist on two conditions: payment in advance and possession of the button to his shock collar.
Last night, Himself happily tweeted that he’d be interviewed live on his favorite cartoon show this morning. MAGAtroids set their alarm clocks. Mueller and Avanatti set their DVRs. The latter were rewarded handsomely.

In a meandering interview on Fox & Friends Thursday morning that turned at times into an angry phone rant, President Trump admitted that Michael Cohen represented him in the Stormy Daniels case and confirmed he did stay overnight in Moscow hotel, contradicting a claim he made to then FBI Director James Comey.
Cohen, Trump’s longtime personal attorney, announced in a court filing in California on Wednesday that he will invoke the Fifth Amendment in a lawsuit filed by Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, over a $130,000 payment made days before the election to silence her claims about an alleged affair with Trump. Trump has previous stated that he didn’t know anything about the payment and denied his involvement in the settlement, but admitted to the hosts of Fox & Friends that Cohen was indeed representing him on the case.
“Michael would represent me and represent me on some things. He represents me… like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me,” Trump said, adding he has many lawyers working for him and that from what he sees, Cohen did “absolutely nothing wrong.”
What was George Papadopolus indicted for? That Gates fellow?
Whatever Dumbass thought he was doing—bringing a new “associate” into the family, friendly chat with a new pal—James Comey was, at the time, the director of the FBI. To whom Dumbass lied.
As Trump was making his live, televised confession, Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti was watching on the set of Morning Joe. He probably thought it was Christmas morning and Santa had decided he was the best little boy in the world.
“Another gift from the heavens in this case,” Avenatti said. “It’s a hugely damaging admission by the president.”

At the close of the segment, “Friends” host Bret Baeir thanked the president and expressed the hope he’d come back on soon.
“President Trump, I assume you know you will be treated fairly here and of course, asked tough, but fair questions,” Baier said. “I look forward to getting you back on the number one news show on the number one news channel very soon.”
Don’t we all, Bret, don’t we all.
We really did, sir!
