It has been obvious to me since Michael Cohen has tried to create his income here on Substack that he was lying. He was Pedolini‘s fixer in chief there’s no way he could not know. I told Jim Acosta long ago that I was offended and he had Michael Cohen on his show, and I have been very disappointed that Don Lemon has had him on his show as a regular contributor. I’m glad the truth has come out.
I have never trusted Cohen...I could never wipe out my memory of him in his total service and slavery to DJT. He was VILE. He was BRUTAL in all of his dealings in service to Trump. Said he'd take a bullet for him..
Yes and he insisted over and over again that he had never heard Trump talk about Epstein. He was so adamin so many times on many different podcast shows. I thought that was strange since so much evidence showing Trump was good friends with Epstein for many years before he died.
Cheeto is getting a little help from his friends(https://bit.ly/45IFkUS) Russian hackers got involved supporting the ICE Gestapo and helped shut down an anti ICE site that identified 4500 names of ICE and CBP agents gained from a DHS leak
Obviously Cheeto and his regime don’t want to have their goons identified That would make recruitment more difficult but also open up these disgusting agents to legal challenges in the future So enter the Russians who by massively increasing searches onto the site’s servers shut down the site IP addresses were tracked back to Russia No problem with loss of information which was archived
So make no mistake Cheeto is creating political ties to Russia under the table and expect that this is a trial balloon for the midterms
I asked him to tell us about Epstein and he said he knew nothing.
I did research and his time with Trump coincided with Epstein time line.
Michael he threatened you before.
Tell us that he sicced Roger Stone on you! Did Roger invoke that the Proud Boys have carried out other Trump threats like burning the judges home down or in fact taking Epstein out while in jail?
We are positive Trump has threatened you with your life or more mafia like with one of your family members having a fatal accident.
Tell us how he uses Roger as his Goebbels to “take care of it”
Did Michael go to Russia? I ask because he claimed that he didn't. Epstein went to Putin when he needed money. It was at a time when Epstein and Trump were not as chummy as they had been. Putin could have bought stories on Trump. So I wonder if Cohen ever 'chatted' with Putin?
An exceptionally well done and thoughtful and deep dive into a really painful part of the current manipulation of American Protestant Christianity. Thank you for making the connection between Christian nationalism and the almost blood thirsty power hunger and lust of power hiding behind the nomenclature of "church." I use a small "c" and I do not capitalize on purpose. Thank you for making critical, painful, historically horrific, and the ongoing and impending murderous consequences of this violence whether it is political or religious or tragically now both. No one gets a bye. Thank you for your honesty. Your fierceness. Your courage.
The MAGA church discussed is nothing more than tribal affiliation. Hundreds of people agreeing with each other and strengthening their mutual ideas. Psychological Kool-Aid.
In Michael’s defense, he was the “fixer”but hardly in Trump’s inner circle. He probably wasn’t party to much of Trump’s intimate behavior or involved in his social activities. That said,one cannot be a personal lawyer to a Donald J Trump without knowing the mechanism and general outline of his activities, and without being involved in fixing the legal issues that those activities generate. Michael must clear this up,right now…if he has been involved and has material information he must cough it up. We are waiting.
Evangelicals! I heard Tara comment she doesn’t think there is anything nefarious!!! Oh contraire!
Evangelicals and their power grab are what put Trvmp in the whitehouse. I grew up in NC in the 50's, in a somewhat evangelical church. It took me until I was 57 to debrief myself, receive counseling, and realize how to cleanse myself of the brainwashing we all (children) get in these churches.
We had a divorce of family, my family over Trvmp, due to hysterical Maga evangelical power grabs! My sister and some friends have discussed this ad nauseum.
If you want to hear an expert on how Maga and Southern evangelical autocracy effects our government, read Andra Watkins here on substack. She predicted everything starting at least in April 2024 when I joined her Substack. She has been on many live substacks here, she grew up in SC and is an excellent writer, researcher, and speaker. She predicted everything we are seeing because she knows evangelicals and Christian Nationalism.
By the way, I was watching the original Tara/Cohen interview and I had the same thoughts Tara had relative to Cohen. I enjoy both your writings as well as Ellie Leonards.
It's not necessarily just the problem of the "easy believism" evangelicals.
There's also the white supremacists, the "Stormfront" and "Daily Stormer" types and similar "hate" sites that are atheist and neo-pagan.
As I see it the problem is the lack of accountability of these non-denominational groups. If you can't go over the heads of the local church leader there is a problem. They're getting all the benefits of running 501c3 groups.
My point being that there are many of these groups that thrive in our broken society with limited opportunities for many and the fragmented nature of society.

Smacks of a variation of Opus Dei

He was OBVIOUSLY lying at the time...you were NOT too rough....YOU were the only adult in that interview....
