After years of being smeared, surveilled, financially exposed, imprisoned, and silenced, I will file a claim asking whether America’s justice system became America’s political weapon.
This is a great summary of everything that makes you a great applicant for this fund. Our justice system has so much corruption that it needs to either pay up and shut up. They destroyed your peace, your well being, your financial security, the security of your family, your health and your state of mind. This justice system is not for the good of the people, it is a weapon. Stand up straight and tall Michael. Your supporters are standing right there beside you.
I think the people who deserve a slice of the $1.76 billion are all the people who have been put in Trump’s concentration camps. None of them have had due process. U.S. citizens, military personnel, everyday people just trying to eke out a living. The Epstein survivors. Everyone who has been attacked by ICE. The capital police who were beaten Jan 6th. ALL of us who had personal information stolen by Musk and his fucking DOGE boys.
Anyone who chose to work for Trump, ALREADY had their payday. They all "knew him" so well, they assumed he was their bff. Here comes the bus and trump yelled, Gotch ya!
Always introduced as Trump’s “fixer.” People will never forget that.
There is not going to be a meaningful fund, the American people have their pitchforks and torches ready if Donald J Trump tries to actually carry out this historic heist of taxpayer money. If there has truly been a miscarriage of justice and a wrongful conviction then let those folks pursue a claim through the courts, not ask Trump to scatter a little largesse(that doesn’t even belong to him!) their way. If ever there was someone who received a raw deal at the hands of Trump it is Michael Cohen. He is the personification of what happens when a loyal foot soldier starts listening to his conscience and won’t go over the bridge too far.
Exactly what I was thinking. I do agree that Michael Cohen should be at the top of the list for receiving payment from such a fund. However, it shouldn't exist in the first place. It should be done legally through the court system and not by a panel of Trump's hand-picked goons. There should also NOT be something barring eternal auditing of the Trump crime family tax returns!
Everyone is supposed to feel patriotic about paying their taxes. It’s how our system works.
The president should be leading this philosophy by example. Instead we suckers must pay taxes so he and his rich friends can vacuum it up away from the government.
People who are investigated (for whatever reason) are found guilty or walk free!! That’s how its works! You don’t get a fucking tax payers payday because you got investigated. Trump alone has weaponized politics!!! And that’s how you win elections. Waay too many bad actors in politics these days!! Waay too many liars. Who gets to say who gets our money?! It’s a crock!!!
You got wrapped up with the wrong mob! Convicted. And did your time. I am no longer a fan.
There are multiple truths here. I agree that Michael was wrongly treated by the Trump justice department. I also believe that the "fund" is designed explicitly to reward the J6ers who beat up cops. It is a sham. Many people will submit requests for $$ as a joke. If a book I want to read is banned by schools and libraries, can I apply for funds to reimburse me for buying the book? Will voters be able to apply for funds if they have to wait in line for hours at the midterm election? Will the people pepper-sprayed in Minneapolis be able to get funds for their suffering? The list goes on and on, and some applications will be legit, and others will be a joke. At its core, this "fund" is a sham, as is our current corrupted DoJ. End of story.
I have your book Disloyal. I am a paid subscriber. I will be 75 on my birthday this year. I have seen everything in the ongoing work that is our United States. Evil people have been successful in our nation but should have no place in it.
What will ruin your life quicker? Meth? Crack? Alcohol? Or Donald Trump? Hindsight is, but that one person is behind much of all that is wrong and going wrong.
If people in our Government can accuse a group of people in one city of eating their neighbors' dogs and cats, then the people in our Government can attack anyone, even me. They can claim that I have done anything horrible that they can think up. That is the first step, then they could charge and arrest me with no proof other than their words.
Because of the one person in charge, we are all in danger of the Weaponization of the Government.
Yesterday I read some of those stories of outrage. Not that my opinion counts, but it seems there is no harm in your filing the application. I’m curious to see the response from whomever makes decisions on the payouts. You served the time, including in solitary, whereas the guy you worked for did not.
You made sacrifices for Donald Trump and paid a huge price. Donald Trump should not be allowed to be President and should have had to pay for his crimes. I hope you get compensated as a result of this fund.
You deserve some kind o compensation Michael, you are never going to get an apology, or even an acknowledgement from that malignant narcissists, but hopefully closer can come from some sort of justice. Justice you rightfully deserve.
There is always a scheme behind why Trump and his goons do something. I would be shocked if this is in good intent for anyone.
He and his cronies said they would look at each of the Jan 6 cases individually and decide whether to pardon them or not depending on what they did, total scam, they pardoned all of them. This is just another scam or scheme to make something look one way but in reality it’s totally different. My opinion !

What a great article today. One your best 👌.
Not for nothing but you're a poster child for this fund.
Good grief! This crap, day in, day out, really messes with a person’s morale.
Everyone enjoy the holiday wknd if possible and remember to take time to honor our veterans.
Never give up
Never give in
Never sellout
Thanks, Stephen! We need the encouragement.
Our Congressional Dem primary poured in the massive dark money. We finally get some enthusiasm, and now voters will feel that everything is rigged.
Absolutely. Thank you and you too Stephen.

I did LOL with Tapper’s last question to you.

How about investigate those who wrongly investigated you and make THEM pay you! Not me!!! I had nothing to do with it😡

At this point maybe I’ll turn to meth and alcohol. 🙄
Increasingly it is Donald Trump that ruins people's lives quickest. This seems to be his purpose in life.

Did Cohen ever tell us why he got throne in solitary? You don’t just go there for no reason?!

A federal judge has dismissed all federal charges against
Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If ANYONE DESERVES a cash payout, he does.
NO ONE has been MORE ABUSED than Mr Garcia.
We have too ask ourselves how did hitler change the people thinking too make it ok too kill Jews ,will my friends Trump has that same personality know

Well-written Mr. Cohen.
