…by Jonas E. Alexis It is sad to announce that Stephen F. Cohen has passed away at the age of 81. He had lung cancer. Cohen was actually one of the leading scholars who had the intellectual courage to say uncomfortable things—things that the mass social media didn’t want to hear about Russia and Vladimir Putin. Without a doubt, Cohen was one of the finest minds when it comes to issues related to Russia and the United States. Cohen also was not the type of academic who would perpetuate nonsense about Russia without checking his sources and without serious scholarly examination. […]
Bob Woodward’s Rage might be getting all of the attention in the political book world right now, but estranged Trump fixer Michael Cohen attempted to wrest back some of the spotlight on Monday when he brought his own book tour to The View. The author of Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump tried his best to ingratiate himself to the five co-hosts, explaining, “The whole purpose of the book was really to open up people’s eyes so that they understand the individual that’s asking them to vote for him in November.” […]
President Donald Trump’s former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen tossed out a “theory” Tuesday night that the president will resign if he loses the presidential election this November in order to pave the way for Vice President Mike Pence to pardon him for any federal crimes he’s supposedly committed. Cohen—who is currently serving a three-year prison sentence under house arrest after pleading guilty to campaign finance violations, lying to Congress, and tax evasion—appeared on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show to promote his memoir Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump. Early in […]

Al Drago/Bloomberg/Getty Images Long before he came into office, Donald Trump was allegedly so preoccupied with then-President Barack Obama that he hired a look-alike actor — a “faux-Bama” — to castigate and then pretend to fire on video. That’s just one of many accusations levied by Michael […]
Trump “inadvertently” made a crude sexual comment about Cohen’s 15-year-old daughter, saying: “Look at that piece of ass. I would love some of that.” Trump said: “Tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a shithole. They are all complete fucking toilets,” Cohen claims, and praised apartheid-era South Africa, saying: “Mandela fucked the whole country up. Now it’s a shithole. Fuck Mandela. He was no leader.” I will never get the Hispanic vote,” Trump said, according to Cohen. “Like the blacks, they’re too stupid to vote for Trump. They’re not my people.” Trump watched a strip show which […]
US President Donald Trump has urged CNN to drop confrontational news host Chris Cuomo after a tape of Cuomo denying sexual harassment allegations in conversation with Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen was leaked. Highlighting Cuomo’s poor ratings and “great disrespect” for women, the president called on CNN to fire the anchor in a tweet on Wednesday. Will Fredo be fired by Fake News @CNN? He speaks with great disrespect about women, and it will only get worse. Fredo’s Ratings are bad, so this is the time. Always terrible to speak to sleazebags, especially when you are being recorded. CNN has no […]
Daily Beast: After reportedly declining the Republican National Committee’s request to perform Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” at their convention this week, Cohen’s estate is exploring legal options because the song was played twice anyway, according to Pitchfork. Also, no way in HELL Leonard Cohen would have appreciated Trump using Hallelujah as RNC Convention bumper music. It’s practically sacrilege. — Christy (@ChristyW907) August 28, 2020 Leonard Cohen’s estate told the Republican National Convention they could not use “Hallelujah,” but Trump and the convention did anyway. Twice.https://t.co/O6NIfW9VDn pic.twitter.com/XlwFwClp73 — Steven Greenhouse (@greenhousenyt) August 29, 2020 “We are surprised and dismayed that the RNC would […]
A Democrat super-PAC is airing ads during the Republican National Convention featuring Michael Cohen, once a personal lawyer to President Donald Trump and now a Resistance darling eager to slate his former boss. Trump “can’t be trusted” and Americans “shouldn’t believe a word he utters,” Cohen tells in a short video clip that appeared Monday evening. “Virtually everyone who worked for his campaign has been convicted of a crime or is under indictment,” he says. “Myself included.” As he says that, the images of General Michael Flynn – Trump’s first national security adviser – and ex-strategist Steve Bannon flash on the […]
Nothing could have been more obvious: Michael Cohen’s First Amendment rights and his freedom had been denied him because Donald Trump didn’t want his ex-lawyer mouthing off to the press. It didn’t matter that Cohen hadn’t violated the terms of his probation. I’m happy for Michael that he’ll be returned to his wife and family shortly, after a judge ruled this week that what was obvious was also true, and that the attempt to make him sign away his right to write a book, among other things, to maintain his home confinement was politically motivated. But I’m not happy that I […]
A judge ruled Thursday that Michael Cohen will be released Friday to home confinement, declaring that the government acted in a “retaliatory” manner by taking President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney into custody this month. “The purpose of transferring Mr. Cohen from furlough and home confinement to jail is retaliatory and its retaliatory because of his desire to exercise his first amendment rights to publish a book and discuss anything about the book or anything else he wants on social media and others,” Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled during a telephonic hearing. Cohen, who was sent home in May amid coronavirus fears, […]
VT: Cohen has the real facts behind dozens of rape accusations against Trump including several child rape and one child murder charge…that crooked courts handled as ‘civil cases.’ Daily Beast: A Manhattan federal judge on Thursday allowed Michael Cohen to be released from prison this week after finding that authorities “retaliated” against the former Trump lawyer for his plans to publish a tell-all book about the president. BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the release of Michael Cohen to home confinement. This ruling in our case is a victory for the First Amendment. — ACLU (@ACLU) July 23, 2020 Breaking via […]
VT: it goes 1000 times past Trump’s calling Nelson Mandela a “monkey” or using the term “kike.” Cohen has told us, time and time again, that he silenced 500 people for Trump and Jane Doe was one of them, there were others, all tied to Jeffrey Epstein and the 15 years they spent together, which VT has sources on. They paid models $10,000 to provide cover for them on the days they spent with kids. New York’s mob controlled courts allowed Trump and Cohen to use non-disclosure agreements, often imaginary, often at virtual gunpoint, to silence victims. Dozens have come forward, […]
They’ve got Ghislaine Maxwell in the same place. Is Barr going to tell us they ‘shanked’ each other??? Cohen was asked by press to verify what Mary Trump wrote about her sicko uncle and Cohen agreed to oblige. We expect the same Israeli paid assassins that really killed Jeff Epstein to take out Cohen as well and do it very quickly. We think we all deserve to hear what Cohen has before Trump has him murdered as he has with so many others, including 135,000 Americans. Michael Cohen questioned the legitimacy of a gag order as a term of home confinement, […]
Michael Cohen, the former attorney of US President Donald Trump, is back in federal custody after reportedly refusing to comply with conditions necessary for his home confinement agreement with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). “On May 21, 2020, Mr. Cohen was placed on furlough pending placement on home confinement,” a Bureau of Prisons official noted in a Thursday statement, according to ABC News. “Today, Michael Cohen refused the conditions of his home confinement and as a result, has been returned to a BOP facility.” However, Cohen’s legal team had a different interpretation of what led to the 53-year-old being handcuffed and […]

It may be his greatest prank since Borat sang “Throw the Jew Down the Well” in an Arizona country and western bar more than 15 years ago. On Saturday, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen apparently infiltrated the “March for Our Rights 3” rally in downtown Olympia, Washington, getting at least some of the right-wing militia attendees to sing racist lyrics along with him about Barack Obama, Dr. Fauci, and the “Wuhan flu.” According to event organizers, Baron Cohen first disguised himself as the leader of a PAC that wanted to sponsor the rally and then hired his own security to block them […]
Middle East 16:03 GMT 07.06.2020(updated 16:09 GMT 07.06.2020) Get short URL The Israeli intelligence service chief has recently received high praise from the Netanyahu government over his agency’s clandestine operations to procure medical equipment abroad for the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, with the prime minister calling Mossad’s work “extraordinary” and suggesting that “the results speak for themselves.” Mossad Director Yossi Cohen is the strongest candidate to succeed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as chairman of the governing Likud Party, says Ronen Tzur, a senior advisor to Blue and White coalition leader Benny Gantz. Speaking to Israel’s Yediot Aharonot newspaper, Tzur suggested […]
