“Monday was likely one of the worst days of Michael Cohen’s life, and he had it coming. Connected to a variety of scandals ranging from Russia to Stormy Daniels, the president’s personal lawyer saw his office and hotel room raided by the FBI. To boot, we learned that Cohen allegedly keeps bobble-heads of President Trump’s eldest sons on his desk. He likely won’t be embarrassed by that bit, so deep runs his loyalty to Trump. Cohen told Vanity Fair last fall, "I’m the guy who would take a bullet for the president." Cohen is afflicted by the same generic bravado that Trump has seeping out of his pores, pulling his macho act whenever it’s time to stick up for his boss or threaten journalists. But as much as he seems to consider himself a friend of Trump’s, Monday made it very clear that he remains merely an employee.
The president addressed the raid at the start of his scheduled meeting with officials at the White House to discuss responses to Syria dictator Bashar al-Assad’s latest chemical attack on his own people. Trump really only stuck up for Cohen once: "So I just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys – a good man." The "they" Trump was referring to? Federal authorities who had a warrant. "It’s a disgraceful situation. It’s a total witch hunt. I’ve been saying it for a long time.””*
