Bad Act: Cohen Radio Interview, Trump and Putin Should Meet in New York

~ < 1 of audio

Author note. 

Explore voice = Exploratory style. Very punchy. Personal, and lively using “me,” “you,” “us,” and “I” freely.

I want you to feel me right there with you. We use “I” and “me” and “us” without apology. If the Explain voice is a bridge, the Explore voice is the hike we take across it. It is lively, reflective, and sometimes a bit raw. It is the sound of a shared exploration where I lead you by the hand, but we both discover the view at the same time.

This is where I get to think out loud. Not with definitions, we aren’t just looking at the facts; we are looking at how they feel and what they mean for our lives. I’m talking to you about what I’ve found and what I’m still figuring out. It is engaging because it is real, and it is reflective because it is honest.

The goal is real advice and enjoyable reading. I want to land on something you can actually use. It’s about being direct, being punchy, and making sure that by the time we reach the end of the page, we’ve both found something worth keeping.

And now the piece.

Bad Act: Cohen Radio Interview, Trump and Putin Should Meet in New York

Sometime in Sep, Cohen gave a radio interview where he suggested Trump and Putin should meet when Putin comes to New York. He did this in an attempt to see if Russia was willing to conspire (collude). When asked about this by Mueller, Cohen said it was spontaneous and Trump did not know. The truth is that it was premeditated. Cohen and Trump discussed exactly what he should say and do to get Russia’s attention.

Verified: In court documents. Cohen admitted Trump knew. The bad act was the lying about it. Trump meeting Putin is not a big deal. The lies are.
