Michael Cohen - Trump Declares War On The Past

“You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.”

— Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan

That quote isn’t just a clever turn of phrase; it’s a lifeline in a country drowning in delusion. And right now, at this moment, we need to hold onto it for dear life. Because the President of the United States is standing behind the Resolute Desk, draped in ego and gold filigree, and accusing former President Barack Obama of treason. Not political malpractice. Not poor judgment. Treason—a crime punishable by death under U.S. law.

And the so-called evidence? A pile of regurgitated documents and mischaracterized intelligence assessments, handpicked and handed off by none other than Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s latest sycophant-turned-Director of National Intelligence. She calls it a bombshell. I call it what it is: recycled propaganda, wrapped in the American flag and weaponized as a tool of retribution.

Let me be very clear: I was affected by what Trump calls the “Russia Hoax.” I know it intimately. I lived it. I wrote about it in my second New York Times bestseller, Revenge. Eleven false claims from the discredited Steele Dossier were attributed to me; absurd, career-destroying fabrications, including that I secretly traveled to Prague to pay off Russian operatives with ten million dollars in a Samsonite. Lies. All of it. Lies that devastated my life—lies I’m still seeking accountability for through the courts, including a multi-year FOIA battle with the federal government to force the release of documents they continue to bury. If we want to talk about truth, let’s start there.

But treason? Let’s get serious.
