Donald Trump has a fired-up lawyer more than ready to go to battle for his client. Michael Cohen has already bared his legal teeth for Trump and he's ready to do so again if the GOP proceed with attack ads.

1. John Bowie, LawFuel.com - Michael Cohen, the Trump
lawyer who has sailed into various controversies on his
client's behalf, is a legal and political strategy advisor
whose significance is set to grow along with Trump's
political campaign.
Michael Cohen has been compared to many people in
all probability, including to Karl Rove, the George W
Bush advisor and more generally as chief
troubleshooter. He’s also referred to in some quarters
as “Tom”, in reference to the attorney advisor in “The
Godfather.
And now, after mounting different attacks against Trump enemies and
perceived opponents he is on the attack again, this time against the
Republican Party itself. ”
Cohen told the media that any attempt by Republicans to fundan anti-
Trump campaign of attack-ads would be a “bad, bad decision.”
Trump’s campaign have warned Republican Party funders and others that
they needto treat the leading candidate fairly if they were to avoid his
running as an independent.
“If they treat him fairly, he will honor the pledge because he’s an honorable guy. If
they break that agreement with him, as they say ‘woe be on them,'” Cohen told
CNN.
So who is Michael Cohen and why shouldTrump’s friends, foes or others
listen?
He has already threatened the Daily Beast with a $500 million lawsuit over
allegations made by Ivana Trump about alleged rape during marriage. “by

2. definition you can’t rape your spouse,”was one comment made, together
with the lawsuit threat.
He made some other comments, too: “I think you shouldgo ahead and you
shouldwrite the story that you plan on writing. I think you shoulddo it.
Because I think you’re an idiot. And I think yourpaper’s a joke, and it’s
going to be my absolute pleasure to serve you with a $500 million lawsuit,
like I told [you] I did it to Univision.”
Ivana Trump later amended her “rape” comments to “violated”.
Cohen has previously worked on the Democrat side of the fence, working
for the Obama team in 2008 and for Michael Dukakis before Obama in the
1998 failed presidential campaign. In 2010 however he turned his
attention to Trump with his website: “Should Trump Run?”
He is co-president of Trump Entertainment and also serves on the board of
TD Bank and the MTA. He lives in New York City with his wife and two
kids.
His penchant for aggressive lawsuits includes a famous lawsuit last year
when he sued NYU’s Dr Ali Guy for “ruining his summer.” The physician
did this through renting Cohen a Hamptons home for a month at a cost of

3. $150,000, the problem being that it had small beds and no functioning air
conditioning.
Referred to in one piece in Forward.com as Trump’s “Jewish wingman”
Cohen, who is Jewish, has been Trump’s most loyal ally for nearly a decade,
standing up for the real estate mogul in the media and filing lawsuits when Trump
perceives he’s been wronged. A 2011 ABC News profile reported that within The
Trump Organization he’s called the boss’s “pit bull.”
“If you do something wrong, I’m going to come at you, grab you by the neck and
I’m not going to let you go until I’m finished,” Cohen, now 48, told the TV
network.
To wit: When New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed a fraud
suit against Trump’s for-profit college in 2013, Cohen threatened Trump’s
vengeance: “The damage to the attorney general is going to be very significant,”
Cohen told The New Yorker. “So significant that he will possibly have to resign.”
(Schneiderman has not resigned. The case is ongoing.)
Before his extensive involvement in the Trump empire, as well as displaying
his own canny knack to make profitable real estate plays, including buying
Trump apartments, Cohen was a partner at law firm Phillips Nizer, as
reported inLawFuel.com.
Michael Cohen's ongoing role in the Trump political machine sees a
growing influence over more than just his client. With Trump's leadership
in the Republican running and the campaign's increasing resonance with
the American public, the role of Michael Cohen in US political life will only
grow further.
