I'm not sure it even matters if he was "really" referring to Cohen, the fact that he's under a gag order to protect people means he should STFU. Every word he says, intentionally or "not", is potentially dangerous to the people involved. Isn't that the whole point of a gag order? Don't talk about the specifics of the trial, you can say it's unfair or whatever but the specifics are too dangerous to reveal. Why aren't his lawyers stopping him from saying this stuff? They're going to lose by contempt of court or something at this rate. Come to think of it, Alex Jones did the same thing in his trial.
