Roy Cohn died on this day in 1986
My mother often has admonished me not to speak ill of the dead. Her position on this matter revolves around the individual not being able to defend themselves in the presence of some scathing criticism from another still living. It's also simply the way she is ... a nice, kind, warm, gentle lady who has seen a few things here and there. Roy Marcus Cohn February 20, 1927 - August 2, 1986 |
Now this turd was the attorney responsible for the execution of the so-called 'atomic spies' Julius and Ethel Rosenberg trial in 1951. Subsequent investigations of the facts have proved to my satisfaction that this is more a sham trial than any thing else and it is likely the Rosenbergs were murdered by the state at the behest of Roy Cohn.
This closeted homosexual was the chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy's from 1953 through 1954 and pretty much led him down the primrose path to ruination and destruction of his reputation by following his advice.
This cut throat was Donald Trump's attorney and mentor from 1973 through 1985 and that relationship is likely part and parcel of perception of distressing social habits on the part of our chief executive. Regardless, Mr Trump remains one of the most proactive and best POTUS ever in The Republic. I could really care less what the namby pamby panty waist critics of his have to say. Finally someone who cares more for the country than monitizing public office like the traitor Bush clan, the evil Clintons, and the brigands Obama.
Roy Marcus Cohn was an American lawyer best known for being a top political fixer. Thus is the nature of politics and people close to the powerful in government. Workarounds, loopholes, sweetheart deals, attorneys love their skullduggery and many practice law thusly.
Mr Cohn was born in New York City. He received his education at Columbia University. Those accustomed to preferential treatment grow to expect it. He lived a life surrounded by finery and indulgence to the very end.
He was disbarred from the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court for unethical conduct for attempting to defraud a dying client by coercing the client to sign a will amendment whereby his fortune would be left to Mr Cohn in 1986.
Roy Cohn died a month or so later from AIDS-related complications and thus ended yet another sad tale of this overstepping evil attorney stomping on the rest of the taxpayers during his perverse life of outrageous gall.
Burn in Hell.
