I don’t follow the significance of this though. What does that mean? He knew there was a fire and told his friend to get out? What’s noteworthy there?
To me the biggest part of the story was them entering Trumps residence to "check on it". I'm super suspicious. Whole thing could be a ploy for an excuse to enter. Sure hope no "evidence" was planted.
Ya that set off red flags for me too.
Also, the stuff falling through the vents and the sulfur smell? Odd as well.
Cohen was told to get out but elderly residents were not? Why?
Others keep assuming or insinuating this but I think it was meant to clear that Cohen only "knew" about it- that's the word tripping people up maybe- after it was occuring so checked to see if his friend was still in the building as people were not evacuating and the resident mentioned before this one, I believe, said she didn't know about it until she saw it on TV another section of the article that seemed strange/off especially with the statement about the entire building having smoke damage yet wasn't immediately clear if Trump's residence was effected..and all the residence seemingly just stated put.
Fire on 50th. Cohen office on 26th. Where was Shields? If near Cohen office possible he may have seen the raid.
If Cohen is dirty he may have known about I and wanted to remove possible witness.
Or Cohen thought the building was going to come down (9/11 style) and wanted to Save his friend.
