Even hardened criminals flip. If Cohen is looking down the barrel of a hefty sentence he'll babble like a mountain stream.
What's Trump hiding?
He sure goes on like the guiltiest man to walk the face of the earth. The drama to end all dramas continues....

Even though Cohen has been arrested, attorney/client privilege still exists, and anything covered by it will not be permissable in court. It’s a privilege for the client, but an obligation for the attorney
So the real question here is what exists that Cohen could flip on? The fact that Trump is expressing that it won’t happen makes it troubling to think about what exactly would make him even comment on the possibility one way or the other. There would have to be some pretty serious stuff there for Cohen to even be able to have something to flip on.

Flip?
What on earth would an honest straight lawyer like Cohen have to reveal?

Why is Trump so afraid of the investigations? Why hasn't he released his tax info? (Not the partials he scammed Maddow with)
'Flip'? Isn't that organized crime talk? But then the Don has been linked to criminal activities throughout the world, throughout his life.
Lock him up! Break up the Trump-Kushner syndicate!

IKR? If Trump actually said it it's an admission that things are not all kosher and he is worried about what is going to be revealed.

Trump has said the equivalent of “snitches get stitches” to his personal fixer.
Be mindful - lawyers who get raided by the FBI usually go away for decades.

Ummm...could someone please explain to me why Trump would be worried about Cohen "flipping" if there is no wrongdoing at all to hide?
Please explain it to me without using any forms of the words "Hillary, Obama, E-mails, #Benghazi, or Deep State." Thank you....I'll wait.
Goodlucktoyou
“Flip” is my new word of the day.

Sounds like Trump is worried. His staff need to sit him in front of Fox and Friends with a promise of cheeseburgers and golf to calm his nerves.
Keep an eye on the odds on Trump not completing a full term...

This nasty little bagman just drips Russia, Russians, Russian-speaking mobster business and Russian properties from every pore. No wonder Trump is petrified.

Seed planted.

He isn’t worried about Cohen “flipping”. This is in response to all the liberal media articles gleefully exclaiming “Cohen gonna flip” cause prosecutors will somehow try to say he deserves life in prison for anything they think he did.

Flynn gonna flip!
Wait uh no...Manafort..no....wait...Gates...
ummm Carter Page? roger Stone? Kuschner? Sessions? That Papa guy?
Actually none of them. But you know who IS gonna flip? Mccabe or Comey. On each other first then later on the Dems, starting with Lynch.

A/C privilege does not cover current or future frauds or crimes, so if anyone asked or advised on how to break the law... It is not privileged. Attorneys are supposed to keep secrets, but more importantly, they are sworn to uphold the constituition of the USA.
As for the "flip" thing, truly bizarre. A rational person would simply say that there is nothing to hide, no incriminating information to bargain with. Odd word choice.

Or maybe this is just the click bait crap that the "masters of division" love to pump out.
Seems to be working

Susan McDougal didn’t flip and she really didn’t do anything. There are many, many people that won’t flip under heavy pressure, it all depends on what tricks the Feds will use.
How would you know that? Manafort didn’t.
Probably nothing. What is Mueller looking for or supposedly again?
Really, I don’t think he looks guilty, but I do think that Mueller needed to snag someone and the best person to go after would be Cohen, but Rosenstein said, Trump is not the focus of any criminal investigation, well, not that Giuliani is part of Trump’s team, we will know for sure it its a lie or a joke.
Jimizo
Best to look into it and remove all doubt then.
bass4funk
Yes, which now given the last few day events with Giuliani on the team it might happen sooner than we think.
SuperLib
You’d like Trump’s first response would be, “Flip?” Why would any innocent guy flip?”
Who?
