Elie Honig, prosecutor and author of ‘Untouchable,’ joins The New Abnormal podcast to talk through all the ways Trump is just like a mob boss, and how it’s kept him free.
Honig explains that there’s one trick in particular that bosses use on those closely involved in their crimes that makes it “harder for those people to flip.”
He also shares in this episode another mob boss tactic that has helped Trump avoid charges, at least the ones relating to his former fixer Michael Cohen. “Michael Cohen said, ‘you know, Donald never told me, ‘Hey, I need you to lie about Moscow for me.’ Cohen just says it was understood. ‘He called me in, he said, ‘I know you’re testifying. Of course, you know what to do.’ That kind of thing. And that is completely out of the mob playbook,” adds Honig.
He and Andy also talk about the “rule” that has saved Trump from indictment—“This policy saved Donald Trump’s hide over and over again. Nobody has ever benefited from it like he has”— as well as the prosecutor who gave the Trump children, and Harvey Weinstein, a free pass.
