Michael Cohen's farewell interview was an embarrassment

Michael Cohen did himself absolutely no favors by granting a televised interview before he goes to prison.

The point was to rehabilitate his image, transforming himself from tax evader, bank swindler, and all-around liar to repentant nun. But he inadvertently revealed himself even more clearly as defeated, bitter, and without a future.

Over and over again, Cohen repeated that he “took responsibility” for his crimes and that he was done lying, as if he had any other choice. He pleaded guilty to all charges and has been sentenced to three years in prison.

This would be like blowing your savings on cocaine, snorting it all, and then triumphantly declaring, “I’m finally ready to quit!”

When you’ve admitted to years of lying, running a shady taxi medallion scheme, and other deceptions, there’s not much left to do other than go far, far away and hope the public forgets.

Cohen instead went on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to look pathetic.

Cohen was down on his knees begging forgiveness on the two counts for which he received virtually no prison time & said nothing about the rest.
