His Mea Culpa

 

“I know where the skeletons are buried
 because I was the one who buried them.” 

~Michael Cohen,
 
Michael Cohen is in court today, to testify in the Trump civil fraud case. As the talking heads have said the obvious, Trump will be losing his fortune at the end of this trial. Not just because of Cohen's testimony, indeed there are a lot of things working against him. It's going to be rough going for Donald J. Trump when it comes to his finances and his freedom, and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
 
By the way, be sure to listen to Michael Cohen's Mea Culpa Podcast. It's really good!



“He frequently commented on the amount of money I had as a way to throw it in my face that he was so much richer than me. It was like water off a duck’s back to me, but it fed his need to demean people around him who had the temerity to get ahead in life; success was always a zero-sum game for him, and he and he alone had to be the winner.” 

~Michael Cohen,
 
 
“Rudy Giuliani, William Barr, Jared Kushner, and Mike Pompeo are Trump’s new wannabe fixers, sycophants willing to distort the truth and break the law in the service of the Boss.” 

~Michael Cohen,
 
“you actually give up your common sense, sense of decency, sensitivity, even your grip on reality. It was like having a mental illness: the reality was hard for outsiders to grasp, in all of its dimensions.” 
 
~Michael Cohen,
