Isn’t it one of the requirements when registering as a Republican candidate that you swear you’ll vote for whoever wins the RNC nomination, even if it’s not you? Or is that just something they were talking about doing?
They did make them sign a loyalty oath in the 2016 election, because they assumed Trump would lose the nomination and then start his own party or, at the very least, continue bashing the other candidates.
Trump has shown time and time again that he has no problem throwing anyone under the bus if it's in his interests. Choosing to trust him in a prisoner's dilemma is totally foolish, he's definitively proven himself untrustworthy.
“It did not occur to me then — and remains surprising to me now — that Mr. Schwartz would drop the cases into his submission wholesale without even confirming that they existed,” Cohen said. “Accordingly, when I saw the citations and descriptions I had sent Mr. Schwartz quoted at length in the draft filing, I assumed that Mr. Schwartz had reviewed and verified that information and deemed it appropriate to submit to the court.”
Bro:
Even if this is true, don’t throw your goddamned lawyer under the bus. Just say we’re very sorry, we fucked up, I was the one that researched it initially, we won’t do it again. This whole statement does 0% good and a whole lot of bad.
I like Cohen because he manned up and admitted he was wrong but this was a little reminder to me that POS is still in his DNA.
This isn’t exactly something you can simply apologize for and move on. His lawyer filed a motion with obviously false case references, and could wind up facing disbarment.
