My Take
Michael Cohen interests me less as a lawyer than as a case study in loyalty's blast radius. For twelve years he was the ultimate insider, serving as fixer, executive, and personal counsel, and his fall illustrates how proximity to power can hollow out a person's judgment. Yet what keeps me watching is the second act: the decision to testify, write, and broadcast his version of events from inside the machine. Whether you find him credible or self-serving, few people have narrated their own unraveling so publicly. As an editor, I find that raw, complicated honesty more compelling than any polished celebrity image. He is a cautionary tale who refuses to stay quiet.
