The FBI has released hundreds of pages of documents on Donald Trump's controversial former lawyer Roy Cohn detailing allegations he engaged in bribery.

As a young attorney, Cohn worked as Senator Joseph McCarthy's grand inquisitor in the purging of America during the Communist 'red scare' of the 1950s.

He also served as a lawyer for the Trump family, representing them when they were sued for discriminating against black rental applicants.

He was also known for is in role prosecuting Soviet spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The couple were executed in 1953 after being convicted of conspiring to pass secrets about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union.

3. What will the verdict be on Trump agreeing to pass Nuclear info to MBS for $$$ for his family?

Just wondering.....

2. One of the most miserable people in recent American history

No wonder he took such a liking to Trump and it was reciprocated

4. Read "Citizen Cohn" by Von Hoffman, Nicholas

And, you will see where tRump learned his business practices from. The guy was a slize, dishonest as the day was long, and in the end died, after being disbarred, from AIDS.

5. But, why now? Is this their way (the FBI's) of getting even with Trumpy now that the dam broke?

I wonder.....

6. Good question. I'm wondering the same thing

11. It seems to me that this is a veiled attack on Attorney General Barr.

Trump has referred to Barr as his Roy Cohn.
The FBI is just reminding us, and Mr. Barr what a sleeze bag Cohn was, and how easily Barr could find himself on the wrong side of a prosecution.
It's a warning that Barr should watch his step as regards to the impeachment hearings.

receive any financial benefit for illegal use of government info or property.

10. So do these details confirm or refute the allegations?

12. Go see the new just released documentary

.....called "Where's my Roy Cohen".

Talks about Trump Tower and how Trump ripped off undocumented immigrants to build it.

Shows the mob, celebrities, the press and Trump all partying together long ago. The party scenes especially gave me a sense of the mess in the press in terms of their willingness to do real journalism or confront power. Barbara Walters was a Cohn best friend, weirdly enough.

Cohn's life philosophy is do whatever you need to to be "winning".

David Kay Johnson commentary calls him "pure evil". He sure looks the part. Innerly dead.
