character ray donovan who does anything to protect the boss. we ve done bad things, ray. i ve asked you to fix things that should never have been fixed. you re upset. terrible things. terrible things. kinda funny that you d make that comparison yourself, but cohen leans into it. he even tweeted, #loyalty, #ray donovo donovan. but the fixer can t fix his own problems and they are stacking up. consider the wider eimplication. the man who preceded him, he s warning trump cohen will flip. the national enquirer settling with the former play boy model who says cohen tried to keep her quiet. we just interviewed her lawyer about that problem. and cohen dropped his libel suit against buzzfeed and gps over what the dossier alleged that
therefore, right, the notion that there might be a pardon in the air or a pardon in the water, that s pretty enticing. i agree with frank. it could be fact, i think it probably is, a signal. to chuck s point about how likely it is that cohen will flip, you look at this white house is not one that has loyalty in great reserves. let me put that up. michael flynn, george papadopoulos, rick gates, richard panetta, alex van der swan, they have all flipped. they are now cooperating witnesses in the mueller probe. in particular, mike flynn, donald trump seemed to really feel he had a special friendship and affinity, and they really had become tight on the campaign trail. and flynn flipped. so, if mike flynn will flip, i think let me give robert costa the last word on this. he s going to leave us after this. what is your sense, sort of the volume or the frequency of pardon conversations in jenna round the libby pardon, around the prospect of potentially
