The Virus of NYC

Yesterday former Trump lawyer turned government witness Michael Cohen gave riveting testimony to Congress about his "dirty deeds" for Donald Turmp, the NYC real estate developer turned reality TV star turned POTUS. There was lots of shouting, grandstanding, bloviating, about Russian collusion, hush money payments, racism, etc. -- it was political theater par excellence, and mostly just rehashing of what's in the news.

Perhaps the most interesting, and most overlooked part, of Cohen's testimony was about something that hasn't been raised before -- specifically, insurance fraud as it relates to one of Trump's golf courses in the Bronx. This line of questioning came from AOC who lives in and represents the part of the Bronx where this golf course resides.

These revelations show how deep into the weeds of sleaze and corruption Trump and his cronies are and, more importantly, how Trump is like a virus, not only on America, but how he has always been one in NYC.


By the way, did you know that Michael Cohen once ran for the City Council back in 2003? Imagine how different the history of this country would be if he had won!
