'It's a reality': Trump critics warned they'll regret not accepting Biden pardons

Recalling how he was pursued when Donald Trump was in the White House the first time, a former Trump lawyer suggested that critics of the president-elect would be foolish if they didn't ask President Joe Biden for a pardon or turned one down if offered

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Michael Cohen, the man who was once called Trump "fixer" described his own time in jail –– including solitary confinement –– and said anyone possibly facing being investigated by the incoming Trump administration should take the threat seriously.

Speaking with co-host Symone Sanders Townsend, Cohen was asked if he has heard from anyone in the Biden administration prompting him with, "Folks who have prominently gone out and said, 'I do not want a pardon,' the president is not going to issue a pardon to people that don't want one."

"They'll change their mind when they're sitting behind closed doors, that I can assure you," Cohen interjected. "They're going to kick themselves in the backside for that one."

"I think hindsight will always be 20/20.," Sanders Townsend replied.

Cohen continued, "It's a reality. You know, you have to take Donald Trump for his word when he turns –– so far, everything that he said that he intends to do, he actually intends to do, and he has been doing it one by one by one."

"Now, it may not all happen on day one, as he said, but ultimately he'll have four years plus, with a whole group of individuals that are now going to be filling government positions in order to help him effectuate his goals," he added.
