Michael Cohen is one of the beat writers for the Green Bay Packers. And he’s also Donald Trump’s personal attorney.
Those are two different guys, of course. But don’t expect people on the Internet to know that.
The latter Cohen had his office, apartment, etc. raided by the FBI on Monday. He’s the guy who paid off porn star Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about her relationship with Trump shortly before the election. Obviously, the FBI thinks there’s more too it than that.
Naturally, some people aren’t happy with the latter Michael Cohen. They think he’s a crook, but they took it out on the former Michael Cohen. His Twitter handle is @Michael_Cohen13. Not so different than the lawyer’s @MichaelCohen212.
And you can’t expect someone on Twitter to differentiate. The tweets to Cohen ranged from humorous to stupid to outrage.
Just explain how it's possible you made the payment without the president knowing.

What I have to wonder is if people ask Trump’s attorney stuff about the Green Bay Packers.
@MichaelCohen212 Hey, Mike, who we got in the first round?
