Your friends at MSNBC polished him up like a shiny new penny and presented him to their Liberal audience dozens (hundreds?) of times as a penitent ally. A humbled sinner, truly sorry for his role in the rise of Donald Trump.
And then... From WFMD "Free Talk" AM 930 in Frederick, Maryland, January 19, 2026:
MS NOW stays silent on Michael Cohen’s admission he felt ‘coerced’ to give anti-Trump testimony
He was MSNBC’s golden goose — until his story no longer fit the network’s preferred narrative.
President Donald Trump‘s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, was a frequent MSNBC guest for years while he was a key member of the #Resistance. But the liberal network — now called MS NOW — has not covered his striking admission he felt “pressured and coerced” to deliver testimony that would help secure convictions against the president.
Cohen, who was a key prosecution witness in two New York cases against Trump, accused New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Friday of pursuing evidence squarely aimed at getting Trump. He alleged in a Substack post that prosecutors in both offices were uninterested in testimony that didn’t fit their narrative...
Cohen had long been a fixture on MSNBC, which changed its name late last year, appearing over the past five years on programs such as “The Beat with Ari Melber,” “The Rachel Maddow Show,” “Inside with Jen Psaki,” “The Weekend,” “Deadline: White House” and “PoliticsNation,” often to deliver anti-Trump commentary. He was also frequently discussed on the network even when he wasn’t appearing as a guest...
The progressive channel covered Trump’s criminal case in New York extensively in 2024. According to a Grabien transcript search, “Michael Cohen” was mentioned 10,906 times from the start of the trial on April 15, 2024, through May 31, 2024 — the day after the verdict was announced.
But MS NOW has, as of Monday afternoon, ignored Cohen’s revelation that he felt “coerced” to deliver anti-Trump testimony...
And thanks to the MSNBC Republican Reputation Rehab project, as long as he drew clicks, your bestest buds over at the Meidas thing also had much love for Trump's repentant fixer:
And then...
Programming note: MeidasTouch Network will no longer be producing or carrying the shows Political Beatdown or Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen.

Your recently-former Republican Never Trump pals at The Bulwark and The Lincoln Project (who also enjoyed the lavish benefits of MSNBC's Reputation Rehab spa treatment) also managed to find time in their busy schedules to squeeze a Cohen appearance or two into their lineups:
And then...
Michael Cohen announces to Lara Trump that he is teaming up with Laura Loomer to do a podcast together.

Perhaps consider this the next time the "liberal" media offers up yet another Republican with their new Resistance spray job still wet from the paint shop as our new Hero of Democracy.

The anti-Trumpers just moved their grift to the left, in their attempt to attract a willing audience of Libs, who needed to be coddled.
Trust the GOP's Music Men at your peril, because they don't want Dems or Libs to succeed, they just want them to buy that old time GOP religion.
I can honestly say I never watched shows when he was on on purpose and, when I did catch one of his segments, I took everything he said with a boulder sized grain of salt.
He’s a professional liar. That’s it. He’ll say whatever he needs to say in order to be in with the in crowd. He’s lying about being pressured so he can get back on the MAGA grifting train.
I wonder how many zero's that check had
He always skated the line between between what he could say about Trump that was infuriatingly unethical yet unprosecutable. Such is the nature of money laundering. The dude's father in law and office co-tenant was the taxi medallion "king" of Brooklyn in the pre-Uber days. Native NYers know phantom cab rides was a main route to make mob cash "legit".
Hmm. First Thune says they won't nuke the filibuster to pass SAVE, then JD Vance starts leaking that he oppossed the decision to go to not-a-war, and now Cohen is sliding back into Republican territory. I dunno about you, but that sounds like a rumble in the distance. Might be drones, might be something else.
I always felt something was off with the rehabilitated Michael.
the reason michael cohen and trump got along was they are the same thing...opportunists. cohen was and is a potential ally but his motivations are not unsullied.
trump is for trump and cohen is for cohen....kind of simple in spite of all the motivations we wish to project....and jail house confessions are about getting out of jail.
