I know it’s popular to dump on Michael Cohen at this moment (I’ve done it), but I think we should pause for a minute and show some restraint. Maybe respect.

Sure, his legal career is flushing down the toilet (Squire Patton Boggs just severed its “strategic alliance” arrangement with Cohen after the FBI raided his home, office and hotel room) and his legal troubles are mounting (he’s facing possible charges of illegal contribution to the Trump campaign, tax and bank fraud violations and God knows what else), but, hey, who says that precludes him from being an inspirational role model?
