MSNBC’s smug panelists were left stunned on Saturday when Michael Cohen, the disgraced former Trump attorney who has spent the last several years trashing President Trump, admitted on live TV that James Comey “likely committed a crime” and “will be found guilty.”
The left-wing network’s anchors weren’t prepared for Cohen’s blunt assessment.
Cohen, once weaponized by Alvin Bragg and Joe Biden’s DOJ in Trump’s sham New York trial, now says evidence in Comey’s case will prove that he broke the law and weaponized the FBI.
Cohen’s remarks were so unexpected that they left Elise Jordan gasping for air.
Elise Jordan:
You predicted this. Not that it’s a great development for the rule of law in our country. Did you think it would be this fast, though? And who do you think is next?”Michael Cohen:
Well, is it about the rule of law? Do any of us actually really know whether or not Comey is or is not guilty of the charges? I know that they parade out all of these pundits — they have the great titles in the chyron: former prosecutor, former FBI. Who’s seen a single document that’s in the possession right now of the DOJ? The answer is nobody. Who has the crystal ball? Still nobody.I will tell you, from my investigation — which I used Brian Karem, who’s a 30-year White House correspondent, to speak to people inside government because they wouldn’t talk to me — I’ve learned that Comey was actually very much involved in the Russia investigation in a very negative way. Chances are this DOJ has every single email, every text message, every communication. I believe, likely, he will be found guilty.”
Elise Jordan:
“Oh, well, that’s interesting, because a lot on the right —Michael Cohen:
I think he likely committed a crime.Elise Jordan:
What specifically?Michael Cohen:
I believe, likely, he committed a crime. I don’t know what that crime is, but there are hundreds of thousands of documents, and the government has each and every one of them. All they need to find is that one. Remember, James Comey, when he was the head of the FBI, was so used to punching down. Well, now you have the FBI that’s going to be punching up. I’ve been through this system. I know better than anybody what a weaponized DOJ looks like and feels like. It is insurmountable.

For years, Cohen has been paraded across liberal media outlets as the go-to attack dog against President Trump.
But this time, even MSNBC’s faithful soldiers were caught off guard when he essentially validated Trump’s long-standing claims that James Comey weaponized the FBI to destroy him.
Ayman Mohyeldin:
Comey will have his day in court, but I just want to come back to what the conversation is about here, which is the weaponization of the Department of Justice. What you’re saying right now is that the Department of Justice under Donald Trump has been weaponized or has not been weaponized?Michael Cohen:
I think it’s been weaponized under more than just Donald Trump. I think it’s been weaponized by government for — I don’t know — as long as it’s been around.Elise Jordan:
Because I think your argument is it was weaponized then by Comey against Donald Trump. That’s what you’re arguing right now. You think that there will be evidence that will show that in court and thus validate Donald Trump’s vendetta against James Comey.Michael Cohen:
Elise, I couldn’t have said it better.

Cohen even went further, suggesting that radical left-wing figures like New York AG Letitia James and billionaire puppet-master George Soros could soon find themselves in the DOJ’s crosshairs.
And when even Michael Cohen, the left’s favorite anti-Trumper, is forced to admit Comey “likely committed a crime,” you know the dam is breaking.
