Michael Cohen's Sweet Revenge

 Wednesday, February 1st, 2023


My Dear America:

Clearly the Michael Cohen of 2023 is a far cry from the Michael Cohen of Yesteryear when he was Donald Trump's Personal Attorney, Hatchet Man and Fixer.  When Michael Cohen was chosen by Donald J. Trump to be Trump's Right Hand Man, according to his very interesting and well written memoir "Disloyal," Cohen was honored to be chosen by someone who he thought was almost a hero to Cohen.  Cohen tended to believe the Trump Hype which Trump dished out every chance he had on every Media Outlet who would pay attention to him.  

At first Michael Cohen thought he had died and gone to Heaven but as today's 2023 Michael Cohen now knows instead he had gone to Hell.

Michael Cohen has been living in Hell now for many years.  When he was working for Trump Cohen was admittedly the Hatchet Man in charge of dirty deeds that Donald Trump wanted done. Cohen revealed details about some of those dirty deeds when he testified to the House of Representatives Oversight Committee in March of 2019.  

Some of the things Cohen revealed to the House Oversight Committee during his testimony were the following:

Cohen identified Donald Trump as a Racist, A Pathological Liar and a man who not only cheated on his wife but also cheated on his taxes.

Cohen gave the Oversight Committee photocopies of the check that Donald Trump had personally signed and paid to Cohen to reimburse him for the money that Cohen had used from his own personal funds to pay off Porn Star, Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 Presidential Election to keep her from revealing her sexual involvement with Trump.

Cohen told the Committee that although Trump stated time after time that he had no business dealings or negotiations with Moscow regarding business that Cohen was indeed during the 2016 Presidential Campaign negotiating with Russians on Trump's behalf and at Trump's direction regarding the prospect of building a "Trump Tower" in Moscow.  This could certainly have been one of the reasons that Trump had nothing but praise for Russian Leader, Vladimir Putin and Putin certainly could have used this obvious lie to blackmail Donald Trump.

Cohen admitted to the Oversight Committee that he made possibly as many as 500 Intimidating phone calls to people on Trump's behalf .  These phone calls included phone calls to Schools Donald Trump had attended, as well as the College Board warning the schools and the College Board not to release Trump's Grades or SAT Scores under threats of being sued by Donald Trump.

Clearly Michael Cohen has much to answer for during his period of employment with Donald Trump.  But at the beginning of 2023 one has to ask why it was that when the only person who gained anything by the Stormy Payoff was Donald Trump, why was Michael Cohen the only person that went to jail as a result of that illegal payoff.  Certainly this is a question that Michael Cohen has been asking for a long time and it seems as though we might soon be getting some answers to this question in a court of law.

Life in Hell has been pretty miserable for Michael Cohen for a long time now.  

Cohen has cooperated fully with investigations by The District Attorney's Office in New York City, as well as The New York State Attorney General and The United States Attorney's Office For The Southern District Of New York.

After pleading Guilty to Eight Federal Crimes including Campaign Finance Violations, Cohen was sentenced to serve 3 years in Federal Prison.  After Serving Thirteen and a Half Months in Prison Cohen was released to serve the remainder of his prison sentence in Home Confinement due to the national release of nonviolent Federal prisoners due to Covid concerns.

When Attorney General, William Barr found out that Cohen had been released to Home Confinement he tried to have Cohen returned to prison probably at the insistence of President Donald Trump.  When Cohen went to court regarding this situation Judge Alvin Hellerstein recognized the obvious unfairness of Cohen's situation and allowed Cohen to return to Home Confinement for the remainder of his three year sentence.  

Since returning to his Home Confinement and eventually completing his sentence Michael Cohen has written two best selling books, "Disloyal" and "Revenge."

Michael Cohen is also the host of the Mea Culpa Podcast and continues to testify occasionally in matters related to Donald Trump.  

Recently Michael Cohen spent an afternoon meeting with staff members of the New York City District Attorney's Office and rumor has it that District Attorney, Alvin Bragg is breathing new life into the investigation of Donald Trump's involvement in the case of the same Campaign Finance Allegations which sent Michael Cohen to prison.

Although in the old days Michael Cohen was famously quoted as saying that he would be "Willing To Take A Bullet For Donald Trump," Michael Cohen has had plenty of time in Prison and in his Home Confinement to reassess that statement and clearly these days there is no love lost between Michael Cohen and his old Boss, Donald Trump.  

Michael Cohen's days of serving as a Doormat for Donald Trump are over and have been over for years now.

To Donald Trump Michael Cohen is one more fool who was dumb enough to believe that Donald Trump was a Genuine American Hero.  Trump used Cohen and when he was done with him like so many other loyalists Trump cruelly discarded Cohen and let him rot in Prison.

But the joke was on Trump.  Michael Cohen had a lot of time to think in the Hoosegow and after a lot of soul searching Cohen has realized that he lost 3 years of his life locked up for a man who not only didn't give a shit about him but actually tried to keep him in Prison longer than he should have been.

So if and when Donald Trump is tried for the same Campaign Finance Crime that sent Michael Cohen to Prison There will be one witness who will be more than willing to testify to Trump's involvement in the case.

While many other Criminal Proceedings seem to be swirling around Donald Trump these days most of those cases are complex and might be difficult to prove and may never produce a jail sentence for Donald Trump.

In this case involving Cohen and Trump, however it seems like an open and shut case in which Cohen already served time for the crime and it is only right that Donald Trump, the person who benefitted from the crime and became President Of The United States as a result deserves the same sentence that Michael Cohen received and served.

We keep hearing that "No One Is Above The Law."

The Time has come to prove it.


Sincerely Yours
