I would give a shit for Michael Cohn

if he stopped saying the Devil (Trump) made him do it or that he was some innocent who the Devil (Trump) tricked into being a crime spree for many years.

If he truly had a higher angel in his persona or a conscience, or a modicum of decency or true love for his family or any knowledge of what he owed his loved ones that any regular father and husband have he would have never committed the crimes he did.

Spare me the pseudo I’m really a good guy tears. True karmic justice would be also losing the love and respect of his family.

He went on National tv to defend a man who everyone else knew was a felon.

I feel for his kids. I really do. I wish I could protect them.

He was weak. He was an obscure, not especially successful lawyer who allowed himself to be seduced by Trump's money and fame - even if he couldn't ever be a guy like Trump he could be that guy's fixer, travel in his circles and obtain his gratitude. He obviously knew he was doing illegal stuff for Trump, but his moral compass wasn't strong enough to stop him from doing those things because he got a lot of money and a lot of ego gratification as Trump's mouthpiece. The fact that his moral compass was pretty flimsy is obvious from the fact that he also committed crimes unrelated to Trump. So yes, he was weak. But he deserves what he got.
