In other words, he only flipped after he was arrested.
Via Daily Mail:
President Donald Trump is not crazy. Nor is he dumb or paranoid. Certainly he is not in over his head. Is he a liar? Nope. And he is not addicted to TV either.
Who says so? None other than Michael Cohen, the president’s former lawyer and fixer who eviscerated Trump in three days of testimony before Congressional committees this week.
Cohen’s comments were in a book proposal that the jail-bound disbarred attorney was shopping around in the weeks before the FBI raided his offices last year. DailyMail.com has reviewed a copy of that proposal.
At the time he had nothing but good things to say about his boss who had entered the White House a little more than a year earlier.
Cohen was pushing a book with the working title ‘Trump Revolution: From The Tower to The White House, Understanding Donald J. Trump,’ that he proposed to write.
He sent his book to several potential publishers last year, and one, Hachette, reportedly was willing to pay him three-quarters of a million dollars for his wise words.
But Cohen, who is due to start a three-year prison term in May for crimes including tax evasion, lying to Congress and making false statements, thought he could do better and continued to seek more money, DailyMail.com can reveal.
‘I doubt he was offered $750,000,’ one publishing executive told DailyMail.com. ‘If he was, he was a fool not to take it.
‘Everything he wanted to say about Trump was positive,’ added another executive who discussed the deal with Cohen.
‘Even in our meeting he was glowing with praise for the president.’
