Can't wait for them to start suplexing.

Oh no
OH MY GOD, ITS COHEN WITH THE CHAIR! SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE BECAUSE HES KILLING HIM!
whose dumber. the dumbass, or the dumbass that went to jail for his dumbass father?
Not the one who got his comeuppance, took his punishment and pivoted to a presumably lucrative career of being snarky about despicable people for a living. That one sounds quite savvy.
Say what you will about the crimes and other despicable acts he's been a party to in the past, but I love his career progression from snivelling toady to full time Trump-themed snark dispenser 😆
"I'm Eric!"
No loyalty among rats, eh?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Cohen joined MSNBC’s Ali Velshi to talk about the former president, his sons and the ongoing fraud trial that he previously testified in.
In back-to-back testimonies on Thursday, the Trump children denied any involvement in their father’s financial statements and tried to distance themselves from Trump Organization financial statements that are key to the attorney general’s case against the family business.
New York Attorney General Letitia James brought forth the case that accuses Trump, his sons and the organization of having falsely inflated and deflated the value of its assets to receive lower taxes and better insurance coverage.
Cohen said he thinks the sons got zero legal preparation ahead of the testimonies, and questioned if they thought the trial was “some sort of joke.”
Since it was announced he would take the stand, Cohen said he has received hundreds of threats from Trump supporters as the relationship between the two has soured in recent years.
Cohen was open about his nerves to testify, but later said he felt “absolutely nothing” when facing his former boss in court.
