Gangsters are good at burying stuff, like the truth, and people who tell it, like the late great Wayne Barrett.
Thank you for searching and digging, empedocles. Democracy still has a chance.
The New Republic:
What was it like having lunch with Roy Cohn?
Wayne Barrett: Roy Cohn ate with his fingers. I kid you not. He brought a little glass inside of his coat pocket. He would pop little white pills when he thought you werent looking. He was the most satanic figure I ever met in my life. He was almost reptilian. I think hes going to handle the swearing-in at the inauguration. Theyre not going to bring a judge, theyre going to have Roy. And then Roys going to go back to the White House and fuck a 12-year-old. In the Oval Office.

I think Roy was the second-most important figure in Donalds life, next to Fred. The point is that if you could meet the guy and say to yourself, I want to be with this guy
Roy was already representing the heads of all five crime families in the city of New York. And the FBI affidavit said that the five crime families would meet in his law office because the feds couldnt eavesdrop. It was lawyer-client. Thats where the bosses got together, in his office. The feds couldnt do anything. That was an attraction to Donald.
So these were signs from the get-go, Donald was looking for the dark side. He was angling for the dark side.
