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.
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?
