sitting on that jury and convicting donald trump. today we learn from axios reporting that trump allies are already talking about this idea that they want to throw d.a. alvin bragg in jail. what does that say to you, especially where donald trump was in 2016 to where he is today? it says the republicans are the pro crime party. i am thrilled that new york, a state jurisdiction, decided to do the hard work of holding donald trump accountable for some of his crimes and these were designed to gain unfair advantage in the 2016 presidential election. what did they get for it in new york? we have jurors being doxed, witnesses being swatted. judges family members and prosecutors being put in harm s way, including by the republican party who want to as you say go after alvin bragg
jurors as well. i fear for the jurors as well. nbc news reporting tonight that the other main prosecution witness in the trump criminal trial, michael cohen, has since the verdict had his whole family doxed. people have posted street addresses and other personally identifying information for his wife and for his children. nbc news also reported that in the immediate wake of the verdict pro-trump message boards posted a high volume of violent threats toward both the prosecutor and the judge in the new york case, including what purported to be the home address of district attorney alvin bragg and what purported to be the home addresses of some of the jurors from the case. this is what it s like for people who are part of the legal system when the legal system is getting donald trump in trouble. and this is an ongoing thing. this is not going away. there s lots of pending cases against trump.
washington, d.c., and aren t received by members of congress, the wisconsin republican party has a part-time aide fly them out there, who is there to receive them from her? none other than ken chesebro, and finally, while he did conduct an interview with wisconsin investigators, they discovered that he lied to them about his twitter account, something that michigan investigators also discovered. so unlike in other states where he is theoretically a cooperator and an unindicted coconspirator, here, he s probably the most important person charged in this document today. and reminded of chuck rosenberg s rules to live by. brush your teeth, make your bed, don t lie to the fbi. michael cohen. let s talk about the hush money conviction. he has now been doxed. his family. what s going on with that? michael cohen is according to some people, not me, a central witness leading to trump s conviction. and because of that, he s on the receiving end of everything from
prosecutors in exchange for cooperation on the investigation. cohen went to prison. and now, trump has been convicted and is awaiting sentencing for his crimes. i m joined now by michael cohen, former personal attorney for then president donald trump and prior to that, principal of crisis x and a key witness in trump s trial. he is the host of the mea culpa podcast, cohost of the political beatdown podcast, and author of revenge, how donald trump weaponized the u.s. department of justice against his criticri and disloyal, a memoir of the former personal attorney to donald j. trump. i want to start on a note that is not pleasant. it does appear the consequences for your cooperation in this election interference trial have been personal and you have thought about it and talked about it before. you were doxed, your family was doxed after the verdict. the phone numbers of yourself, your wife, your children were
