Sounds more like a mob boss....

Coons: Trump sounds 'more like a mob boss than president' with Cohen attacks

By CAITLIN OPRYSKO

President Donald Trump’s use of the word “rat” to attack his former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen is more evocative of a “mob boss” than a president, a Democratic senator said Monday.

Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, painted Trump’s claims that the FBI “broke into” Cohen’s office earlier this year — the bureau had a warrant to do so — as a clear attempt to undermine law enforcement and mislead Americans about the various investigations into the president.

Trump on Sunday wrote on Twitter that Cohen “only became a ‘Rat’ after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started." He falsely claimed that the FBI "BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY’S OFFICE” and rhetorically asked his followers why the FBI had not done the same at the Democratic National Committee to investigate email hacks there, or for Hillary Clinton, who at one point was under investigation by the FBI for her use of a personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state.

“The idea that the FBI broke into his attorney's office runs right up against the foundation of our law, which is the FBI was executing a duly authorized warrant,” Coons said in an interview on CNN’s “New Day.”

“They were executing a warrant issued with the approval of a judge. This is part of how investigations work. His use of the term ‘rat’ for Michael Cohen and mischaracterizing this as a break-in to his attorney's office frankly makes him sound more like a mob boss than president of the United States.”

Spokespeople for the president did not immediately return an email seeking a response to Coons's remarks.

In April, the FBI conducted a raid on Cohen’s office and his apartment in Manhattan, carrying out a search warrant that had been approved by a federal judge.
