      It's crazy how Trump scams everybody and gets away with it. Lies about everything, uses people, expects loyalty but is so disloyal to others, only cares about himself, has no remorse for the crimes he commits and are then the first people to talk about "god".

    It's very odd that a man who so adroitly went after people on the details of their personal lives kept his personal life such a secret. What if he had used his intelligence for good rather than a quest to leave other in a shamble on the floor. At the end of the day, it is a matter of perspective. A paradigm shift would have done him well. But we are left with a sad little boy getting back at the world by any means available.

    How generous of him!! See, he never got married or started a family, even though he could easily afford it, because _they_ would get caught up in his lawsuits! That _he_ couldn't bare inflicting this theoretical heartache that doesn't happen to any married lawyer. He's the first ever career-celibate lawyer.
    I can't believe this excuse worked! First off, he was gay. Second, what he's describing doesn't happen in his field. Third I'm confident that he didn't want a family because they could expose the skeletons in his apparently very spacious closet. We probably don't know more about him because of this. Could you imagine a Roy Cohn version of Mommie Dearest?

    Roy Cohn is The Godfather of the conservative movement. There would be no Roger Stone or Donald Trump without him. The man was brilliant.

      He was a terrible, disgraceful, human piece of filth. The perfect role model for America's conservatives.

    Maybe I'm wrong

    He says how maybe you think the judge made the decision in favour of you about seeding his vegetables
    Sounds like Cohen knows about the judge and played into it - inside info
    Or is laughing using that as the excuse for compassion
    Either way, Roy was a lunatic, but the best at what he did
    So there's a respect, right?
