This is a good read.

I will see these movies on MAX

I will not by the current book with Bannon's foreword.

Thanks so much, for this piece.

I don't know anything about him, except he was connected to Fred Trump, possibly D. Trump too.

I highly recommend Ivy Meeropol's documentary. Her father Michael is a bad ass.

Laura, this is one of the “can’t quit reading” posts! The resemblance between Cohn & Trump is just remarkable! And, it’s as scary as hell to think this man, who has no moral compass, could be elected again!!! Your detailed depiction is so on point! Please keep writing! People must know!

This was a needed piece. The role of Roy Cohn in debasing our political life spans many decades and shows no sign of ending.

Persecution of the Rosenbergs?

LOL

The Rosenbergs were guilty as sin.

Roy Cohn was a sleazebag, but Joseph McCarthy was basically right (pardon the pun).
