Michael Cohen - From Loyalty to Mutiny

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In the chaos of Donald Trump's political world, it’s often hard to tell where the lies end and the damage begins. But this much is clear: Trump is losing control—of the MAGA base, of the Republican conference, and of the Epstein narrative. And here’s the kicker: it’s all of his own making.

I’ve seen this movie before. Back in 2017, I sat across from Trump in the White House and told him point blank to shut down the Russia investigation with transparency, not with tantrums. Release the facts. Let people see the truth. Because hiding behind half-truths and Fox News soundbites only stokes the fire. And just like then, he ignored the advice—and worse, ignored the beast. Now here we are again; only this time, it’s not Mueller on his heels, it’s the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein—and his base.

Now, let’s be real: Trump’s team is scrambling. The Epstein situation has metastasized into a full-blown political cancer, spreading through the Republican conference and lighting fires they can’t put out. House Republicans are in open revolt. Speaker Mike Johnson, who until now never so much as sneezed without clearing it with Trump, is being forced into legislative surrender by his own caucus. Members like Chip Roy, Tim Burchett, and even James Comer are now daring to push back—demanding transparency, demanding truth; something rarely tolerated in Trumpworld.

Why the shift? Because the base wants answers. Voters who once cheered Trump’s “drain the swamp” bravado now feel like they’re being played. And they are. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s announcement that no more Epstein documents will be released only made it worse. It was a slap in the face to transparency—and it reeked of a cover-up.

2. while I haven't ALWAYS liked him

I've become a fan - I believe his transformation is sincere and I find him to be a very talented writer.

3. Yes, he looks like and sounds like his former relationship with the Repuke Party has made him sad for life.

I kinda feel bad for him. He seems very sincere; I don't doubt his bona fides. I actually feel sad for him and what he went through. The Republican Party just seemed to ruin the guy.

4. Trump ruins everything he touches

but Mr. Cohen is doing the absolute best thing - fighting fascism with us
