He has his detractors, even here on DU.

But, he's the closest thing to any real resistance out there.

The Stormy Daniels thing keeps Trump up at night... And, I'm all for Trump being uncomfortable.

He doesn't conduct himself as a proper attorney should (what, he should not use every available tool to advocate for his client?); his client is just a porn star so why should the nation/media/whoever care--that's the implication.

IMO he and Stormy are on a crusade and the end game is dRump leaving office in disgrace. They've said it often enough.

She has stuck with it, despite a vicious opposition.

You've got to hand it to her. She's got grit and I'm very appreciative of the effort.

It's personal. They threatened/are threatening her and by extension her family, and she's not quitting.

He knows how to capture the media and get the attention he needs. The fact that he was a former political operative for Biden and then Obama only makes me love him even more. I would not be surprised if he is in contact with Obama right now.

Its so annoying the way CNN has given so much coverage to every empty NK tangent. Advance team leaving for Singapore summit . . . advance team has arrived in Singapore . . . , and yet it covers more interesting stuff [like Cohen ].
