He didn't treat Flynn differently. Flynn flipped for precisely the same reason Cohen is considering it, bc he felt betrayed.

that sort of goes to my point. i think trump's behavior towards cohen indicates that he's not really worried about what (he believes) cohen has or could provide to the feds. whether trump is *right* about that is a different matter, that i agree with.
-
And I'm just suggesting that he might be motivated as much by a sense of whether someone is loyal to him, which is consistent with other things you've said. I don't think he thinks Cohen has the pee tape, FWIW.
-
my hangup here is that trump started treating cohen like shit *before* cohen ever displayed even a hint of potential disloyalty.
-
I get that and to some degree agree with that. But Cohen felt that he was being loyal, at least, until recently. If we can believe what he says. In Trump's world, I think treat like shit ≠ betray.
-
In any case, I was mostly raising the question bc if Trump learned Cohen (for example) recorded calls with him and they cut him off, what he would do if he learned same about Manafort.
-
you're suggesting that the CYA file for Cohen would be a recording of trump saying "pay my hooker off" and a CYA file for, say, Flynn would be a recording of trump telling him to "make a deal with the Russians, whatever they want besides Ivanka"
