    I wonder if Peter Navarro listened to Michael Cohen’s testimony. I know Ron Johnson and Pete Sessions did; they were there.

    My loyalty to Mr. Trump has cost me everything, my family’s happiness, friendships, my law license, my company, my livelihood, my honor, my reputation, and soon my freedom … So to those who support the President and his rhetoric, as I once did, I pray the country doesn’t make the same mistakes that I have made, or pay the heavy price that my family and I are paying.

      Nobody was holding a gun to his head. How many opportunities did he have to stop? He helped bring about the current state of affairs.

        True, by all accounts he was a corrupt asshole doing the bidding of some very bad people. That being said, he was held responsible by the courts, served time in prison, and since then he appears to be making all possible attempts to do the right thing and make amends for the shit he pulled.

        We need to be a little more willing to recognize when people have changed their ways, especially considering all the other people in his orbit who have clearly not changed. When people make a good-faith effort to be better, we should give them a chance. He has admitted the things he did and has worked pretty damn hard to show the public what actually happened. I deeply respect that, while also not forgetting the crimes he committed and the damage he did.
