This article is my take on Michael Cohen and how he had made himself the sacrificial lamb for the sins of a boss who very quickly threw him under the bus to save his own neck because he knew no other way to do business.
Donald Trump is a man without a heart or any conscience who uses people and quickly dump them,if they are no more of any value to him as a repeat offender who has convinced many right-thinking Americans that another outlaw like Trump could predictably become President again in America if Trump is allowed to get away without being severely punished and held accountable for all of his dare Devil criminalities in his 4 years in the White House.
He had hoped to elongate his tenure by committing more crimes and sponsoring a Coup in broad daylight and hoping that nobody was going to pay attention.
I am now beginning to clearly see that nothing is impossible in America.
An El Chapo of Mexico, or an Idi Amin Dada of Uganda or a Paul Noriega of Panama or a Laurent Gbagbo of the Ivory Coast and some of the worst dictators, the world has known, could become President in America in the foreseeable future following the footsteps of Trump.
I say so because of too many loopholes in the American Presidential System in general but more so in the Electoral College Provision which says a candidate could lose the popular vote by several millions of votes and still be pronounced the winner due to some outdated formula or Calculus described above and if the candidate belongs to the Republican Party which acts and behaves as if it owns America and as if the Democratic Party, its main opponent or rival is a Party of Aliens and Immigrants who are expendable and who can be discountenanced or ignored.
Even though the American Constitution has been described in some quarters as the 8th Wonder of the World, it still has few apparent flaws in it that will allow an outlaw narcissist with no sense of shame like Trump to get as far as he had clearly done in American Politics.
It is a complete outrage in my judgment. I don’t know about you?
Donald Trump had taken undue advantage of those flaws in the Constitution to become the most powerful man in the World for 4 terrible years in the White House when he turned the People’s House into a Crime Scene, so to speak.
Donald Trump only pays a lip service to the
Rule of Law.
It is clear he does not believe that the Law applies to him.
He sought the Presidency to do what he likes and to rebrand or recreate America in his own image and to damn the consequence.
It is a lie and an aberration when America prides herself as a country where no man is above the Law.
Few Americans clearly consider themselves as above the Law and I strongly believe that Donald Trump is clearly one of them.
I am yet to meet any other American in leadership position who has committed as many crimes as Trump but the guy is still walking the street a free man as we speak.
The man even had the effrontery to still go around telling anybody who will listen he still wants to run for President again in 2024 and some fools in the Republican Party are still openly rooting for him. Unbelievable!!
I apologize for the little digression to go back to Michael Cohen.
I submit that Mr. Cohen was just a pawn in the Chess Game of Donald Trump who became President by default by invoking the apparent conflict in the outdated Electoral College System in the American Constitution.
Michael Cohen had become the docile victim of Trump.
He once claimed he believed so much in Trump that he would not hesitate to take a bullet for him.
But when the Firing Squad were ready to take him up on his promise he very quickly reversed himself urging them not to pull the trigger
because he had changed his mind and that he has discovered that Trump had only hypnotized him by making a fool of him.
He confessed that Trump had committed all of the crimes for which he was being charged and that every crime he himself had committed were all committed on the orders of Donald Trump.
He totally flipped on Trump and was quickly deserted and denounced by Trump who called him a pathological liar who was just out to blackmail him and that Cohen lacked credibility and should not be believed at all.
In the opinion of the Law in America or most places in the world, if you are once caught in a lie, nothing you say after that, can be believed again.
That was how Donald Trump using his position and power as President of the United States has managed to pile up on Mr. Cohen and to reduce him to a criminal who was forced to lose his Law License in New York because of Trump.
Michael Cohen was the one to go to jail while his unindicted co- conspirator Donald Trump had walked away a free man up till now from many of the cases pending against him all over the country
My point here is that Michael Cohen is not as bad as Donald Trump has wanted us to believe.
Donald Trump is like the Jesuits. The Jesuits tell you how to use your mind but they are petrified and they turn against you if you do, as pointed out by John Flannery in a Question and Answer Workshop on the January 6 Committee Report moderated by himself and Ari Melber of MSNBC Cable Channel few days ago.
I have watched Michael Cohen perform on few occasions since he came out of jail and I have found that the guy is as smart as they come as an attorney.
He made a silly mistake and was hoodwinked and manipulated by one of the worst Mafia Boss in America who became President and had used the limitless power of the Presidency to ruin the life of Michael Cohen for having the temerity to flip on him.
I end this piece by concluding that Donald Trump would long have been put away or even charged and convicted for treason anywhere outside America.
Donald Trump could predictably get away from few of the charges now pending against him from the DOJ and other litigators in the public or private sector of America.
He may get away in some of the cases not because he did not commit the crime but due to some technicalities in Law.
No wonder the Law is described as an Ass.
My own prediction is that Nemesis is going to catch up with Trump and he would not get away from few of his criminal litigations
.
He would also pay a heavy price for some of his civil litigations where he could predictably plea- bargain to pay millions of Dollars in ransom to keep himself out of jail
The Yoruba people to which I am proud to belong in Nigeria had a proverb that Michael Cohen could learn something from.
The Yorubas say “Aguntan to ba b’Aja rin, o di dadan ko je Igbe meaning any sheep that chooses to keep the company of a dog will in the fullness of time eat thrash like a dog born and raised in a poverty-stricken countries of the Third World.
Michael Cohen by choosing to work for Trump, should have realized he was most likely to willy nilly pick up some of Trump’s conduct and dirty habits or character profiles.
It was a blunder on his part to get himself so much attached and joined in the hip to a boss he knew was a serial and pathological liar and a repeat offender and a narcissist who only cares about himself and no one else.
I rest my case.
Thank you for the privilege of your time.
