Michael Cohen thought loyalty was stupidity because pressure had already taught him to calculate survival one cooperation session at a time. Roger Stone made a different calculation. He refused to supply testimony against his longtime friend, endured conviction, sentencing, public vilification, and the threat of prison, then received the clemency Cohen swore would never come. Seven years later, Cohen has crossed back over the battlefield, asking Trump for the same presidential mercy he once dismissed as a con. I understand what federal prosecutors can extract when they threaten a man’s freedom, family, and future. Mercy may be appropriate. Historical amnesia is not. Stone held the line. Cohen now wants refuge behind it.
You're one of the few people whom I've seen, sir, who did not snitch. The system relies on the "rats" who make it go round and round. My dad would not lie for them either, and we suffered the consequences. At the end of the day though, he could still look himself in the mirror, knowing that his integrity "was not negotiable". I am proud you both!
Roger, after reading this post I’m reminded of an airport windsock, something which assumes the position of least resistance to prevailing conditions. Wouldn’t it be ironic if he did a stint in windsock orange?
I think Roger was probably indeed, Trump's "fixer." Just as many famous people have fixers to take care of petty accusations and problems. I think he really liked Trump...but gave in the leftist persuasion. A weak man.
Stone played it smart by keeping his mouth shut, but let's be real... the whole inner-circle loyalty contest reads like a mob movie script. Wild that Trump might actually humor Cohen's application now.

Cohen is a coward & should never be trusted!!
How about the taxi medallions?

Roger or Cohen?
Cohen IS a member of the blackened left eye, broken left arm club, just a heads up!! That's called accessing satanic power.
