President Donald Trump’s former attorney and well-known pitbull Michael Cohen said Wednesday that Attorney General Bill Barr has taken the helm as the President’s fixer.
“What a terrible shame, taking an illustrious career and throwing it right down the toilet, all for what?” Cohen said of Barr, adding: “I don’t know why most of these Republicans refuse to stand up when they know fundamentally what he’s saying is a lie, they know morally it’s wrong and they just go along with it.”
History will record this as the definitive eulogy for the GOP.
While I agree with everything Cohen says here, this isn’t news. It’s clear that Cohen has a lot of reasons not to like either Trump or Barr and there are a lot of objective reasons to agree with him. That said, this really amounts to nothing more than one man’s opinion of people he clearly doesn’t like.
If his testimony is allowed in court someday (i.e. if either Trump or Barr are ever formally charged and Cohen is allowed to testify) then such statements will indeed be newsworthy. Until then, Cohen is just 1 of over 100 million people who definitely has reasons to hate both Donald Trump and William Barr.
I do sometimes think Mnuchin (big money [Goldman Sachs]) and Barr (big law devoted to preserving big money’s money [Kirkland and Ellis]) run the US government and Trump is just their useful lackey–necessary because he gets the unwashed masses to vote for him.
Cohen was the fixer when our Constitution was not on the line.
Barr holds a place in our Government, backed by McConnell and the Republican Party, who are attempting to overthrow our Constitution which makes a truly dangerous person.
They love the America they want to make. They hate the America as it now is. They believe they are the patriots and leaders of a remade and perfect future. They are dead serious in their endeavors.
Be careful Mikey Boy. Your father in law still is a mobster and you have done a lot of work for him. But then they could just send a gang of government thugs and push you into a unmarked van and never been seen again. And yes thank for all that the SOB you had been enabling all these years.
Sadly, too true. But “perfect future” these treasonous “patriots” want to create is only “perfect” to the extent that it pays them huuge dividends in power and coin.
