Donald Trump’s former lawyer has implicated the President in federal crimes – our favourite 16 reactions
Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer – his go-to guy for paying off alleged mistresses – Michael Cohen, has pleaded guilty to fraud relating to the 2016 election, implicating the President in the crime. This follows on from the conviction of Trump’s former campaign manager on eight counts involving financial crimes.
You could say this is “yuge”. Needless to say, the internet has chimed in with one or two witticisms at the expense of the Great Orange One and his buddy.
These 16 are our favourites.

I stand by my prediction that the trump presidency will end in a televised low-speed car chase with him drunk-driving a sit-on lawnmower up interstate 95 that ends when he crashes into a flailing inflatable tube man outside a hooters

Remember back when Michael Cohen hadn’t pleaded guilty and Paul Manafort hadn’t been convicted? We were just crazy kids then, not a care in the world.

Michael Cohen should be sentenced to be Hillary Clinton’s butler for 10 years

I love how media just casually refers to Michael Cohen as Trump’s “Fixer.”
I don’t have a “Fixer.” I’ve never met anyone who has a “fixer.” I don’t remember any President ever having a “fixer.”
However, you know who did need a fixer? WALTER WHITE IN BREAKING BAD.
