The man America trusted during its darkest hour now faces questions about private doubts, public declarations, unanswered mysteries, and the staggering price of misplaced trust.
How dare you! The imbecile you are now speaking for told people to drink bleach and stick lights up their asses. He told everyone they would be together again by Easter. He was worthless during Covid. Dr Fauci did everything he could because we were dealing with an unknown. We didn’t know where Covid came from and how it was spreading when it started. You and your family benefited from his work. You are probably alive because of it. The incompetent in the Oval was a complete fool. Andrew Cuomo led the nation with his daily press conferences. Dr Fauci is no different from any Dr. surgeon or dentist who gives it their all and hopes that their treatment works. You should be ashamed of yourself for disrespecting him. Next time go to RFK for advice.
Probably? Shouldn’t we all want to know. I would be ecstatic and critical of this hearing if I know the truth. I don’t. You don’t. None of us do and we are owed the truth.
I find it hilarious that you're going on about the truth, yet you helped Trump bury the truth. If you hadn't paid off Stormy Daniels and helped to bury so much bad shit about him, maybe we wouldn't have had to deal with this asshole as our president.
Michael, you seem to be pulling out bits of the journal that confirm a particular personal bias. Others will pull out their own bits that will confirm their bias.
Early on, Fauci apparently met with other scientists. All of them were searching, adding and subtracting theories. As you know, that's what scientists do. Fauci was recording his private musings in his own journal.
I don't think the truth matters much in this situation. I believe Fauci made a judgement call with information delivery. If you think he craved fame as his primary concern then how can you fault DJT for his crave? WE ARE OWED THE TRUTH ABOUT PEDOPHILES AND CORRUPT JUDGES AND POLITICAL DONERS A THOUSAND TIMES OVER THE TRUTH OF THE START OF COVID. COVID IS OVER. A DEFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION IS STILL ATTACKING THE COUNTRY AND OUR FREEDOMS. PICK YOUR FIGHT WISELY.
Ok, Michael, I’m getting off this runaway train of yours which is obviously headed in the wrong direction. Hope whatever or whoever Youre trying to do or please doesn’t end up biting you big time. You’re a talented writer but a compromised human being imho.
Me too. I already canceled my subscription, but since it was paid through December, I have kept reading. I can't after this. A human being wrote personal stuff that was going on in his diary? Oh the horror!! The Orange Stain whose ass he is clearly back to kissing puts out worse shit in public every day. Trump lies any time his mouth opens, and Cohen is aghast Fauci may have managed sensitive information? I give up.
Every day your articles are more and more slanted. In this article, you are echoing the nonsense spewed by the MAGA cult. I don’t understand what has happened to you. You had such a supportive community here but you’re throwing it all away. I’m so sorry to see you insulting Dr. Fauci’s work and integrity.
Well, Mr. Cohen, I've held off commenting for a long time, while I've watched you go further and further down the rabbit hole and back to Trump. So very sad. You never really had a conscience, did you? And you sold your soul to curry favor with the man who is single handedly doing the most to ruin our democracy. Now, Trump is a full-blown narcissist who will never change, but I had thought better of you. No longer. You keep writing your sad epistles and hope he lets you back into the fold. I wash my hands of you and shake the dust from my sandals.
Feel the same way. Michael is a talented writer, but he’s like the abused little boy who is always seeking affirmation from his bully daddy, and lately, seems to be writing for an audience of one. I’ll be canceling my subscription too because I didn’t ask to be signed up to a propaganda channel. The lawless, demented, orange, pedo felon has destroyed everything good in this country, and his handling of the pandemic was disgusting and shameful. Dr. Fauci and Deborah Birx and others who were at the forefront of the pandemic and subsequent vaccines are the reason that I believe I’m able to write this today. As for Fauci’s personal diaries. Who gives a shit? He had to personally deal with the crazy one every day who constantly undermines his own experts. What he said was minor compared to what a lot of the rest of us in the country are feeling. I’m disappointed in you Michael. You can and should do better.
Shame on you Cohen. You have stooped so low, don't know where to begin. The virus was real while your fuhrer was telling people to take horse tranquilizers. You talk about accountability. Well Trump is the least held accountable thing that ever walked the earth and you are now officially complacent in supporting him. Say hi to Lindsey when you see him.
I forgot about the horse tranquilizers ...and a couple in Arizona took pills meant for koi fish because of Trump they thought it would prevent them from getting covid. The husband died.
Howard, nothing is Perfect. Human Beings are not Perfect.
But I am thankful that Biden and Fauci were there after Trump. I can't even imagine
what would have happened if Trump was leading COVID!
Tired of this group of people that didn't want to be told what to do during a Global Health Emergency. Not about you. About the Community!
I wonder how many People DIED or were INJURED by taking Trump's advice?
See how well they are handling Cyclosporiasis? Why doesn't the Media note loudly the donations Taylor Farms has given Trump? Ah, and how many People have died and been injured due to Measles! A totally preventable illness with Vaccines. Go Kennedy and Trump!
Stop the nonsense ! You couldn't hold a candle to Dr. Fauci. What he did for the AIDS epidemic and covid was nothing short of amazing. All the while dealing with the maniac in the WH . POTUS asked if injecting bleach into people would cure them of covid.. Whatever he wrote in his diary was his business. And even if it wasn't his right to privacy shame on Rand Paul for publishing it . Now Fauci is probably in danger again because of crazy maga people...Paul is another sicko who got into a fight with the dentist who lived next door. Paul was mowing his lawn at six in the morning .. that is the kind of person he is.
You’ve said it all. I truly can’t believe the 180 and I, along with many others, are so upset. As I said on the YouTube post, he got released from prison because of Covid for his safety, right? I trust Dr. Fauci, not some asshole like RFK Jr. Sometimes being part of “the click” doesn’t always work out.
I can barely read your bullshit anymore. What has happened to you? You were intelligent and insightful. Now you are another trump lackey (again). I agree with everything being said below. Shame on you.
Yes Dawn I am very much in line with you. I almost died from Covid. The Drs said they would do everything to help me however, they weren’t sure I would pull through. I know this to be true because my nephew is my cardiologist. He said I was really close. When the vaccine came out I took it because at least trying was better than not. One more Covid incident and I would not have made it. I have long term Covid. Dr Fauci did all he could and hoped it would be enough.
Michelle I have a very dear young friend with long term Covid and it completely changed her life. She was an athletic person; now she does well some days just to walk across the room. She has been to all the the specialists- her father was a well-known pediatrician in our area and her brother a pediatric surgeon. So far, with all the treatments, nothing. I don't know if you believe in prayer, but you will be in my mind and my prayers along with my friend. I am so very sorry.
They will if God Forbid we have another outbreak. Disrespecting Dr Fauci and not having him to help and Andrew Cuomo not being there to give us daily states and reports we better all stock up on Clorox.
Talk about 15 minutes of fame. Dr. Fauci spent his life searching for answers to the unknowns and in the process has helped save millions of people around the globe. His net worth? Maybe 10 to 12 million. Without his efforts, whether perfect or not, we might all be dead. Perhaps he chose to divulge particular info in an attempt to calm the fear rampaging worldwide
On the other hand, let's look at the Orange Asshole who has not saved anyone while making billions off his bullshit and with no accountability to speak of. Trump would have let every one of us die with his deadly suggestions, refusing to accept responsibility and blaming China in his efforts to save his perfect image for his god-damned re-election.
Tell us MIchael, who would you have preferred to listen to back in March 2020? I live not far from where refrigerated trucks were storing bodies in cardboard boxes. I had no problem wearing a mask and staying 6 feet away from others. IT WAS AN UNKNOWN ENTITY and the doctor gave us good advice to the best of his ability and stood on the stage, visibly shocked, as our idiot Prez gave us bleach and butt lamps.
THE DOCTOR DOES NOT DESERVE THE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED ATTACKS AGAINST HIM!
Suggested by Donald Trump: Disinfectant and Bleach, "by injection inside or almost a cleaning of the lungs," Ultraviolet Light (inside your body), Hydroxychloroquine-Anti-Malaria Drug (risk of heart rhythm problems) and Downplaying the Virus-the Virus would eventually "go away." In addition to slow response.
A quick question for you, Michael - if COVID were a new virus today and the same situation - thousands dying daily, morgues overflowing to the point that refrigeration trucks needed to house the bodies - would you take the vaccine?
Would the real Michael Cohen come back please. The funny,trenchant, crisp but thorough, compassionate because he himself has suffered so much guy? Who is also a good writer? That Michael would have written a better take on Fauci. Better how? Commiseration with the soul searing experience he will endure because his PRIVATE diary has been published. Not anything from his work in his official capacity. Nothing pertinent to the outcome. Fauci might have had doubts but he followed the science and the most evidence based scientific consensus despite his private scribbling. What did Fauci do to the American public that he deserves being placed in the public stocks? That’ s what the Michael Cohen I subscribed to would ask us to think about. I don’t like this imposter.
We don’t see Paul pressing the Epstein files release as required by law that has been broken since 12/19/25 now do we? He is quick to protect felon 47 and rake someone’s private journal out in a congressional hearing.
I draw the line when you joined the deniers to go after Dr Fauci. It’s shocking how far down the rabbit hole you’re going. I hope your wish upon pardon is worth it. Your credibility with many of your followers from your beginning, appears to have been decimated by bit.
I unsubscribed weeks ago but I'm still getting this column which at this point is polluting my computer. I guess when one has criminal tendencies, they can never get out of the game. I hope Fauci never has to show up for this farce. He is a very elderly man and doesn't want to spend his time answering clown questions from Rand Paul. He had the burden of a nation during Covid . Hasn't he sacrificed enough. Rand Paul, OTOH, is a useless do nothing who only wishes the worst for people. I wish his neighbor had finished the job:)
How dare you! The imbecile you are now speaking for told people to drink bleach and stick lights up their asses. He told everyone they would be together again by Easter.

I love it ...go to RFK for advice .. If I could put a laughing emoji here I would.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mary, helped you!
Americans deserve better.
Yes, thank you Dawn !
😂😂
Thank You !
Hehe!😜
Probably? Shouldn’t we all want to know. I would be ecstatic and critical of this hearing if I know the truth. I don’t. You don’t. None of us do and we are owed the truth.

Jennifer,
And what else did Michael do as Trump's Fixer?
Guess this is another "Hit" piece for Donald?
Americans deserve better.
You aren't hidden!!
🙃
Michael, you seem to be pulling out bits of the journal that confirm a particular personal bias. Others will pull out their own bits that will confirm their bias.
Early on, Fauci apparently met with other scientists. All of them were searching, adding and subtracting theories. As you know, that's what scientists do. Fauci was recording his private musings in his own journal.
Wait, what? We the people are owed the truth from a Trump enabler like yourself.
Omg you responded to a comment. I’m having a heart attack.
I don't think the truth matters much in this situation. I believe Fauci made a judgement call with information delivery. If you think he craved fame as his primary concern then how can you fault DJT for his crave? WE ARE OWED THE TRUTH ABOUT PEDOPHILES AND CORRUPT JUDGES AND POLITICAL DONERS A THOUSAND TIMES OVER THE TRUTH OF THE START OF COVID. COVID IS OVER. A DEFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION IS STILL ATTACKING THE COUNTRY AND OUR FREEDOMS. PICK YOUR FIGHT WISELY.
100% we are owed the truth. He is "our" employee. We pay him. Shouldn't we all know the truth? This is so painful, any way you slice it.
Amen. Talk about craving the spotlight…
Wow so well said

I feel the same way! But I had to read this one. I’m glad to see my smart, informed co-reader friends are still here telling it like it is.
I’m ready to unsubscribe. It was worth the money while it lasted.
I keep thinking of the recorded phone calls I heard of the fixer Michael intimidating whoever was on the other end.
He has lots of grievances; you can tell on his audio-casts.
Dulcie Sussman; Lots of grievances; not unlike Trump.
Feel the same way. Michael is a talented writer, but he’s like the abused little boy who is always seeking affirmation from his bully daddy, and lately, seems to be writing for an audience of one.

Destroy. Hurt. Kill.
Americans deserve better.
Well said! Yes they took cyclosporin and several others off the list of microbes being surveilled. Ebola is out of control!
And they ignored the pandemic protocols during COVID.
All of our health departments are being castrated. And of course not allowed in detention centers.
My cousin died. Covid was a hoax.
Mrs. Allen, so Sorry.
My Girlfriend died.
She believed the Trump noise that COVID "will go away."
Her Sister became Anti-Vaccine due to all the MAGA/Trump noise.
She did not get a Vaccine when available. She died.
So many losses that could have been prevented if we had a Responsible President.
Americans deserve better.
I am so sorry. shame on Cohen
Mr. Global hit the nail on the head today of what’s really important. It’s a shame Mr. Cohen can’t focus on today, rather than the past.
Stop the nonsense ! You couldn't hold a candle to Dr. Fauci. What he did for the AIDS epidemic and covid was nothing short of amazing. All the while dealing with the maniac in the WH . POTUS asked if injecting bleach into people would cure them of covid.. Whatever he wrote in his diary was his business.

God forbid we have a new outbreak, you are now responsible for sowing doubt and contributing to future deaths. I am sure you can sleep well on that
Yes Dawn I am very much in line with you. I almost died from Covid. The Drs said they would do everything to help me however, they weren’t sure I would pull through.

I don't know if you believe in prayer, but you will be in my mind and my prayers along with my friend. I am so very sorry.
I am glad you took the chance to save yourself.
So well said. This Substack post of MC is totally irresponsible.
Most in Trump’s camp don’t give a shit.
They will if God Forbid we have another outbreak. Disrespecting Dr Fauci and not having him to help and Andrew Cuomo not being there to give us daily states and reports we better all stock up on Clorox.
Michelle,
I didn't agree with everything Biden did. Nor any Politician. Probably any Person.
But on this I do: I am glad Biden Pardoned Fauci, January 6th and his Family Members. He clearly saw what was coming.
Retaliation by Trump.
Americans deserve better.
No, Michael.
Talk about 15 minutes of fame. Dr. Fauci spent his life searching for answers to the unknowns and in the process has helped save millions of people around the globe. His net worth?

I miss that Michael terribly; the one we would banter with and laugh with on lives. I’m very sad over this.
Actually, you miss the CON ARTIST. Cohen is showing his true colors. He CONNED all of us.
He’s been paling around with Trump since January. He’s just a con artist like “the boss.”
We don’t see Paul pressing the Epstein files release as required by law that has been broken since 12/19/25 now do we? He is quick to protect felon 47 and rake someone’s private journal out in a congressional hearing.
1930’s Germany here.
The stench of that Mara a leggo camp is putrid.
We should flood Asshole Rand’s voicemail with demands to release the Epstein files.
I will be doing that for sure. We know what and who they are protecting.
I draw the line when you joined the deniers to go after Dr Fauci. It’s shocking how far down the rabbit hole you’re going. I hope your wish upon pardon is worth it. Your credibility with many of your followers from your beginning, appears to have been decimated by bit.
Imagine if 2020 was now 2026, we would be so much better off with RFK leading us - sure
I unsubscribed weeks ago but I'm still getting this column which at this point is polluting my computer. I guess when one has criminal tendencies, they can never get out of the game.

Will be yet another unsubscriber!!
Used to love reading your researched and beautifully written articles - who’s paying you and how much?
