What is patriotic about him? He aligned with Trump at one point. Trump was already the person he is now, just less bold. But anyone who was his personal attorney could undoubtably see it. Cohen is just a good writer who knows how to turn lemons into lemonaide. But he has no virtues as a human being or a patriot.

I respectfully disagree. He is doing the work that needs to get done to unseat someone who usurped power in the worst way and we need an insider like Mr. Cohen as an advocate to complete that endeavor. β€œOnly Nixon can go to China”

I also respectfully disagree and note your concern. However it takes courage to admit that you were wrong. Michael has done this. The podcast is 'Mea Culpa'

I have an outsider view being a Brit, but to see someone come out and say " I got it wrong, I did things I shouldn't but here is how I'm going to attempt to redress the wrongs"

He served time for his wrongs and people can grow and change.

He could have faded into the background.

Instead he is using his infamy for good to alert us.

And it's working.

Or we wouldn't be having this conversation in this place.

Love to the sane USA!

I appreciate your point and here is my concern. We as a nation of people have made mistakes in allowing politicians and those with power to have more respect and support than they deserve. We Americans like to keep our blinders on. We have a tendency to lose sight of the big picture -- what they have stood for and supported and even earned income from in their past. We all feel desperate now and want someone to save us. Yes, perhaps there is virtue to Cohen's posts and insights now. I'm all for accepting his information and insights, however the comments in this section give the impression that all is forgiven and forgotten and now he's a true patriot, and I just don't agree. I'd like to keep who he is in perspective.

It is possible that some people learn from their mistakes and Michael is one of them…He not only went to prison but his family was threatened by and thru Trump…So yes he has paid his dues…The only one we Can’t Trust is Trump and his minions….
