William Barr Versus Michael Cohen: A Tale of Revenge, Retribution, Reeducation And Betrayal

 Wednesday, April 17th  2024


Anyone Reading the following Article might be interested in checking out the Previously Published Letters To A Lost Nation Blogpost titled "Michael Cohen's Sweet Revenge" that was published on February First of 2023 that presents a more complete discussion of Michael Cohen's relationship with Donald Trump and the United States Justice System as Administered by Attorney General, William Barr.

My Dear America:

As Michael Cohen sits in a New York City Courtroom preparing to testify against his old boss, Donald Trump in what has increasingly become known as "The Stormy Daniels Case" I can only imagine the many thoughts that must be racing through the mind of Michael Cohen.

"How the hell did I get here" must be the dominant thought.

" I thought I had it made.  I was working for someone I respected and admired, someone who I thought was my friend, Someone I would have been willing to take a bullet for and he screwed me, He and his Goddam Attorney General, Bill Barr.  What Bastards.  They locked me up for a Three Year Sentence, These two bastards and when I got out early because of Covid they did their best to get me thrown back in the slammer but a judge recognizing what these bastards were doing to me put the screws to Trump and Barr and continued to let me out on House Arrest to serve out the rest of my sentence."

Clearly Michael Cohen has a lot to complain about.  

He had to take out a loan to get enough money to pay off a Porn Star who Trump screwed so that she would keep quiet before the 2016 Election.  Michael Cohen didn't even get a chance to enjoy the Poon Tang.  He only paid off Stormy Daniels while Donald Trump was the Lucky Devil who actually screwed Stormy.

Except now, I would think that Mister Trump has second thoughts about whether his romp on the Golf Course with Ms. Daniels was worth the shit storm it has caused him to now suffer in his life.  

I am certain that Mr. Cohen wishes that Mr. Trump had not done it and following it had not asked Mr. Cohen to help clean up the mess.  

But as he had done so many times before Michael Cohen did his best to clean up Donald Trump's mess one more time.  

But even though big money was paid out to Stormy and to Karen McDougal by Michael Cohen and David Pecker from the National Enquirer to kill the stories and get Trump elected President this seemingly ancient story has not gone away and has now caused both Michel Cohen (Witness and Ex Con as a result of the story) and Donald Trump (Defendant as a result of the story) To sit in the same New York Court Room for very different reasons.

Cohen will not be going to jail again for this crime.   He has already served his time for the crime of trying to get Donald Trump off the hook as he had done so many times before. But this time around after Cohen went into hock to get the hush money needed to pay off Stormy and her disreputable Lawyer (The Now Imprisoned Michael Avinatti) he was smart enough to keep the receipts and copies of the checks Trump paid him back with.

Certainly Cohen must have intense feelings of betrayal after years of being Donald Trump's Hatchet Man and being paid back by Trump and his own Justice Department Hatchet Man, Bill Barr, by a Three Year stint in Prison for something that he gained nothing but problems from.

Incarceration did give Michael Cohen time to think and reeducate himself and as a result today's Michael Cohen has little or no relevance to the Pre Presidential Michael Cohen.

Cohen has to be  looking for that "Revenge and Retribution" that Donald Trump has been talking about loudly these days.  First on Cohen's Retribution list must be Trump.

But Second on that Retribution list must be Former Attorney General, William Barr.

I find it to be incredible that William Barr, who was closely involved in turning the United States Department of Justice into a virtual Department of Injustice, has, following his ouster by Donald Trump in the final days of the Trump Administration due to the fact that Barr refused to find votes that weren't there, has now become one of the most vocal critics of Donald Trump.  

It is as though Barr thinks that we all have Amnesia and don't remember Barr becoming Trump's Lackey and doing everything Trump told him to do including the following:

Presenting a completely dishonest interpretation of the Mueller Report for distribution to the Media.

Ordering the Southern District Of New York U.S. Attorney to put Michael Cohen in Jail and keep him there for as long as possible.

Ordering crackdowns including Beatdowns of Protesters in several U.S. Cities

Killing Prosecutions of Several Trump Allied Criminals including General Michael Flynn, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort.

Was in charge of the Justice Department when Trump Running Buddy and Convicted Sexual Predator, Jeffrey Epstein supposedly committed suicide while in Federal Custody.

To my mind the fact that William Barr is now talking as though he was always a critic of Donald Trump would be laughable to me but I am sure it would not be laughable to Michael Cohen who has already been the victim of Barr's Unfairness and Cruelty.  

I see the New Bill Barr in the way I think it would have been seen back in the day if one of Adolf Hitler's Lackey's such as Himmler might have turned on Hitler when he attempted to save himself from the Retribution that was to come. 

As we watch Trump's Defense Team try to tear Michael Cohen apart on the Witness Stand I would advise all of us to put ourselves in Michael Cohen's shoes for a moment and try to think about how generous any of us would feel having gone through what Michael Cohen has gone through.

It is time for fairness and Justice to prevail and since Michael Cohen served three years for what Trump did it is time for Trump to do the same three years as Michael Cohen in The Big House, not in the White House.


Sincerely Yours
