    1. @dutchgala I think I remember someone saying he isn’t much of a client. Tends to improvisation at the most inopportune times.

    1. Glenn KIRSHNER is From the DC area, he would even say that himself, a person who knows NY state would be better

    2. @Sheila Boston it was mentioned to him several times before the November Election, but never heard that much after that

  1. … Or this could mean that indictment and court hearing will be done by the time Cy Vance leaves.

    1. @Montesa
      Maybe now’s the time to demonstrate to Americans that No One is above the law. Time to set a precedent for every day forward.

    2. I think Cy Vance at a minimum finish the indictment portion of this litigation before he eventually leaves..

    1. WHO THE LIAR AND PARTISAN HACK JOB . YEAH OK . DEMOCRATS OFFERED HIM A PROPOSITION TO GET OUT OF JAIL . LIBERALS ARE SO STUPI

  2. Makes me sick to think about Politics once again, could give trump another opportunity to escape criminal accountability from any NY charges.

    1. I FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON AND THOSE EMAILS THAT YOUR FAKE NEWS HELPED HIDE.

    1. @Nia Howard You’re exactly correct, too. They conveniently forget he had the free lancers renting his taxis pay him directly to avoid declaring that income and paying taxes on it. Conviction.

    2. @Nia Howard Michael Cohen isn’t concerned about justice he’s concerned about how long he can milk this & who’s paying the back taxes he owes *everyone who buys his book, MSNBC & CNN who keep paying for his apoerances*

    3. @DJ Jones Wow are we so lucky to have you comment on your hate for Cohen. He may not have fully redeemed himself, at least he’s off the tRump Kool-aid, unlike you. Maybe find someone besides Diaper Don to worship.

    1. That would probably look like that storage facility from Indiana Jones as we’re talking about what? 45 million pages of information?

  3. Ex-everyone else is subject to indictment.
    Big deal if he’s an “ex-president” – do the crime do the time.
    He’s a nobody

    1. @William Springer Geezus man. You crop up everywhere with the same stupid “question” . Try something original for a change

    2. @74 Rowe Before this all started, Vance stated he wanted to retire end 2021. If I was him though, I’d want to stay at least another year.

    3. @Sheila Boston it’s like you retire the week before your team finally makes the Superbowl.

      The fact that he’s “retiring” betrays that this is hopium.

      Trump is in control.

  4. Trump has a jet, a passport, money, foreign properties and a long family history of running from the law.. arrest him now

    1. Trump’s jet has been grounded due to unpaid bills for three years (one of its engines has been removed).

    2. @Allan Gibson Just like the rest of Trump’s life… a façade of greatness but really a shamble of decrepit lies.

  5. Oh my goodness CY Vance needs to stay on until this is over america needs him right where he’s at!

    1. Yeah it worries me ! Im a New Yorker an I’ll be dammed if this clown gets off 🤡 I say don’t commit if ya gonna quit! Im starting to think it’s gonna be like the impeachments all over again

  6. WHY DO YOU ALWAYS ASKING IF THEY SHOULD CHARGE A FORMER PRESIDENT…
    YOU SHOULD BE ASKING IF THEY SHOULD CHARGE A CRIMINAL.
    the answer is YES

    1. THEN JOE BIDEN , HUNTER BIDEN , DR FAUCI , BILL GATES , BILL CLINTON , HILLARY CLINTON , BARACK OBAMA , ILHAN OMAR, MAXINE WATERS , GOV CUOMO , SEN FEINSTEIN , NANCY PILOCI AND CHUCKY BOY SHUMMER SHOULD ALL DO SOME TIME AS WELL AS A FEW REPUBLICANS WHO SIDE WITH THESE LOSERS .

    2. @liberals are dumb You people are leaving a LIE trump the SILVER TONGUE DEVIL realy got you.

  7. Make sure that orange clown with a party city wig and orange makeup goes TO JAIL NY I HAVE FAITH IN YOUUUUUUU

  8. why dont they just look to promote someone within the department? Then everything can just continues as normal instead of this shake up

  9. He should of never been allowed to run for president without releasing his taxes.😞😞😞😞😞😞

    1. Why? There was never a law saying a presidential candidate must release his taxes before being allowed to run. You can ask, but not demand. The candidate can refuse, as Trump did. He said he was being audited. But that was his business and the IRS also.

    2. @Tom Torrell … An audit four years in the making. Yeah right. Another of his thousands of lies.

    3. @oldschoolfunkster1 You’re saying the IRS is covering for him? I didn’t think they did that.

    4. @Tom Torrell … I doubt the IRS was covering for him. Trump was simply LYING to not have his tax records be public.
