Pathetic plea of Trump fixer Michael Cohen to Biden during his final days in office

Michael Cohen, the fixer turned antagonist of Donald Trump, begged President Joe Biden to pardon him on live TV, saying he is “someone’s son too.”

Cohen’s latest plea came Saturday during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” a day after Trump was sentenced to unconditional discharge for his 34 felony convictions in the Stormy Daniels hush-money case.

Cohen claimed he asked for a pardon from Biden because it would protect him from any potential prosecution a Trump-led Justice Department might pursue against him.

“Yes, I filed for a presidential pardon because I believe Joe Biden has the same responsibility to me as he does to his own son,” Cohen said, referring to the pardon the outgoing president gave to son Hunter Biden last month.

“And I would expect that the exact same grace that he gave to his son should go to me, and to everyone on the enemies list,” Cohen added.

In August 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations related to Trump’s first run for the White House in 2016.

Prosecutors said Cohen was involved in arranging $280,000 in hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and to the publisher of the National Enquirer.

Cohen spent most of his three-year sentence under house arrest, although he served about thirteen and a half months behind bars.

Since leaving prison, Cohen has become a fierce critic of Trump, regularly appearing on liberal networks to bash him.

MSNBC host Symone Sanders agreed with Cohen’s concerns about being on Trump’s “enemies list” but warned him about invoking the president’s son, saying she “didn’t think this was the best way is to get a pardon.’

“I mean, Hunter Biden is the last surviving son of the president,” Sanders said.

“By the way, I’m also someone’s son,” Cohen responded.

‘Agreed. You are someone’s son,” Sanders said. “But I mean, just to be clear, you’re not the president’s son. And he pardoned Hunter mainly because he’s his son, I think.”

In his pardon order, Biden said the Justice Department’s prosecution of Hunter was “selective” and “unfair.”

Cohen argued that he takes Trump “at his word” that he will go after his political enemies once he becomes president.

Cohen thinks he fits into that category, especially since he testified against Trump during the hush money trial.

“You have to take Donald Trump at his word when he turns around. So far, everything he said and plans to do, he actually plans to do. And he did it one thing at a time,” Cohen said.

“Now it may not all happen on day one, as he said, but ultimately he will have more than four years with a whole group of individuals who will now take on government positions to help him achieve his goals,” he added to.

Before Trump was elected in November, Cohen said he would leave the US if his former boss regained the White House.

Trump has suggested that many people who oppose him should be arrested or prosecuted.

They include President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and others.

Trump has also directed attacks against those who prosecuted him or oversaw his various legal proceedings.

During a campaign stop in Iowa last year, Trump said New York Attorney General Letitia James “should be arrested and punished accordingly.”

James sued Trump in 2022, alleging widespread fraud by Trump’s business empire in their New York real estate transactions.

That case resulted in a verdict in which he, his sons and their company were ordered to fork out more than $450 million.

The judge who oversaw that case, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, was also frequently targeted by Trump during the trial.

Trump said he too should be “arrested and punished accordingly.”
