hillarious. apparently Rachel Maddow is a must watch at ottisville prison.

[drray23]

Cohen was saying that they all woukd watch Rachel at ottisville and nobody would dare changing the channel.

[Srkdqltr]

1. That was too funny. She got a giggle out of it.

Great interview.

[BigmanPigman]

2. What were their prison nicknames?

They said them so fast.

[Totally Tunsie]

5. MC mentioned the "Tony Meatballs of the world" and

"Big Dave, the Enforcer".

Having grown up in southwestern CT, Cohen's NY accent is like hometown music to my ears. He's so much better at it than "tRumpie the Thug".

[BigmanPigman]

7. Thanks!

I thought something like "meatball" was one of them. They sound like "Goodfellas" nicknames.

[onetexan]

11. Goodness, yes. I'd much "prefuh" to listen to Cohen than the Idiot. At least Cohen can string 2

coherent sentences together.

[Totally Tunsie]

14. Cohen, at least, is funny. He has no more F's to give, and he's letting loose.

He's a screenwriter's wet dream of a "Goodfella"!

[demtenjeep]

3. too bad they can't vote

maybe they can encourage others that can to vote against the pig

[Totally Tunsie]

4. Rachel may be kind of heart, but I don't think Ottisville

will allow the "Tony Meatballs of the world" and "Big Dave, the Enforcer" to receive their TRMS mugs. Somehow, the thought of breakable ceramic isn't such a good idea.

[babylonsister]

9. Cohen was there so I doubt it was

too cutthroat, but what do I know?

[Totally Tunsie]

13. One thing for sure - Ottisville wouldn't want "an Epstein" to take place.

Even the most boutique prisons don't need shards of broken ceramic to be floating around...one prisoner with one bad day is all it takes to create a disaster. I think mugs would be discouraged.

[bdamomma]

6. good interview

and we all see what tRump is...................a thug.

[triron]

8. I think Cohen must have taken some topics off the table.

I was somewhat disappointed.
I also don't believe Cohen is entirely truthful on some topics.
He must fear something.

[babylonsister]

10. I wanted to hear about drug use and abuse.

Unless I missed it, I didn't hear it.

Cohen can't be entirely truthful because there are ongoing investigations. He left stuff out, no doubt.

[triron]

15. To be blunt I think he was misleading about some things. He lied.

[tavernier]

18. Yeah, I didn't get that.

But I think there will be plenty who will think so.

[LiberalFighter]

19. It looked like the interview was earlier and later pieced together.

Rachel might have more later.

[ancianita]

22. Danny Goldman, lead counsel on impeachment, who's had closest legal understanding of

Cohen, took almost five minutes on Lawrence O'Donnell's show tonight to explain why he knows that Cohen told the truth tonight. His ability to explain witness credibility and Cohen's in particular, is information only the most expert examiners know.

I believe him.

[onetexan]

12. Arg, hubby went to bed early so i couldn't turn tv on and had trouble connecting to MSNBC on my

tablet. so i missed it. Darn...i'll watch the rerun tomorrow.

BUT...was there anything damning other than the $50 million mansion noone wanted to buy, except a Russian fertilizer oligarch?

[Totally Tunsie]

16. Cohen confirmed all of Chump's disregard for the military,

Chump's authoritative head games, his Pootie adoration, his propensity to embellish and lie, his relationships with his kids - especially Jr. (!), and a whole bunch more.

It was definitely an interview to hunt down to watch, if you can...informative and entertaining!

[onetexan]

17. Will do, thank u for recapping!

Time for me to go beddy-bye

[grantcart]

20. Cohen was very credible. At tines he defended Trump

For example he stated, very convincingly that Trump was very pro choice. When Maddow asked if he knew if Trump had arranged any abortions he said no.

He also defended the Falwell Jr. Couple and stated that they had been good friends to him, visiting him in prison.

One of the most interesting disclosures was that Trump was the defacto editor of the National Enquirer and during the primaries dictated which story, from inventing a connection between Cruz father and JFK assassination to fabricating a story about Rubio having a drug problem. All Trump inventions, and an obvious illegal campaign contribution.

[PatSeg]

21. That was really cool

I was surprised what a good sense of humor Cohen has. He was an excellent interview subject.

[Midnight Writer]

23. Rachel used to be an activist for stopping the spread of AIDS in prisons.

[lunatica]

24. Thanks for the information!

Now what Cohen said about her show being a must watch in Otisville makes sense.

She probably gets along just fine with inmates.
