Does Roy Cohn Rule The Oval Office From The Grave? | Conversations with Jim Zirin

[@desertportal353]

Brilliant. The world needs to know this. Thank you so very much.

[@HS-819]

I only heard about Roy Cohn at a documentary on Netflix about Trump and I was immediately surprised of his influence and charisma

[@michelleh7828]

This is great. It needs more viewers.

[@Mommyandtux]

It's always sort of bizarre to see these videos from the months leading up to COVID-19. Like our country and the entire world changed in 2020... The pre 2020/COVID and post 2020/COVID world. Entire paradigm shift. It's like the pre and post 9/11 world or the pre and post world wars world. (The differences between 1913 and 1946 are massive... Literally entirely different worlds). Almost everything and everyone on earth had massive transformation over that period.

[@cozycomfy589]

Thank you for this interview, timely.

[@pat3834]

I always wondered why no one has ever put the Cohn/Trump connection together.

[@mattgrooms1853]

My wife is certainly tired of me talking about it lol

[@samsonian]

Or even better, not just Trump but Roger Stone were BOTH Roy Cohn acolytes. Another part of all of this is that Roy Cohn was involved in the running of the CIA’s blackmail pedophile ring back in the 70s, just as Epstein/Maxwell were for Mossad up until just recently. I’m praying that the evil elite pedophiles that run this country are getting ready to pay a hefty price for their unforgivable behavior and destruction of so many young innocent lives. Burn in Hell, you evil f***s!

[@abdr3]

What about Trump and the John Birch Society? It explains everything.

[@martinduke368]

@@abdr3 Cohn and the Birchers are not exactly in the same camp...you might not want to go down that road since it leads sawy from what you assume.

[@jebbuckerson]

@@abdr3 LOL. No. John Birchers don't run NYC.

Great interview!

8:27 - Same gestures with the tongue hanging out and breathing in as Roy Cohn himself

[@johnryan3913]

Wow. You can spot the guy's tongue for half a second and he's "just like Roy Cohn"...It doesnt "hang out" either. And what does this supposedly mean?

[@wawawuu1514]

@@johnryan3913 It's true tho, Cohn had that exact tic.

[@ramonolivencia1]

Very revealing interview.

[@kennethsmalls6623]

J Edgar Hoover did the same thing to Black people and Gay people and he was both.

[@robertmanfredthurrigl9424]

They say Hoover was a cross dresser

[@donaldreed2351]

When Trump became president, he learned that he was dealing with greater monsters than himself.

[@alicesais770]

I doubt if there is a bigger monster than him

[@HIROLLER9]

Where were all these people before the 2016 election? Did their patriotism & conscience not urge them to speak up & out about Trump & the disaster he would reek on our country?

[@lynnstrange3819]

Yes they did. Many people. It was loud and very clear and well evidenced. I don’t know why, but no one listened. Also he was supported and protected by Christians.

[@Mommyandtux]

@@lynnstrange3819 The majority of Americans rejected Trump in 2016 as well as 2020. The problem is in 2016 he only lost by a couple million votes, so when they were tabulated in the electoral college he won. Then in 2020 he lost by a much wider margin - some 8 million votes - and was fired by America.

[@JaniceMarie-c7v]

Epic indeed .✔️

[@calisuds9830]

Roy Cohn type of guy is blonde and tall.

[@tapptom]

Shine like trump

[@timmartin6410]

A fascinating window into Roy Cohn the guy to made Donald Trump. With all of Trump's current legal troubles (justified or not) you can see the Roy Cohn playbook is his go too.

[@vitech1013]

It is well known fact the US Gov.+ most US banks, + most automotive giants (Ford for sure) worked closely with the Italian MOB - Roy Cohn was the in between person. The MOB is the right hand of the intelligent services in many countries: in Latin America, in Italy, in Russia -. They need the control of money supply & the business tycoons, (the last made much more money). The Secret Service now becomes more powerful than any Government, so it merged with the Gov. (a KGB Putin became President not by accident). In Italy, the MOB in many cases is the right hand of the Catholic Church, not to mention the Church itself has their own Secret Service, Church own Financial center so in essence that is Government withing the Government, they can not be brought to justice..

[@toussantlbisso]

Thee guest misspoke when he said" gotta remember this was the 1950's" when referencing trump's discrimination suit

[@runcycleskixc]

The notion that, unlike Trump, Roy still had principles, is quite remarkable.

[@johnryan3913]

One of the best interviews about Cohn/Trump. I appreciate the nuance on Cohn's gayness, and especially how Roy might feel about Trump's treatment of intel agencies, Putin, and Ukraine - Cohn, there, would not be proud.

[@jenniferw1956]

Wonder how well Roy got along with Capote?

[@enolamsamoht]

Probably not at all Mr. Capote/Parsons was out and proud of who he was. Roy Was repressed, and repression breeds all kinds of evil.

There never was a rule of law in Amerika!

[@travisstrate]

Less than 3 minutes I can tell this is a bash Trump interview. ✌🏻

[@SC-pe9ir]

Exactly. He totally lost me when he inmplied that people shouldn't question FBI corruption.

[@Research0digo]

7:17 the DOJ was going after Fred Trump - don's father.

[@alicesais770]

Was going after both of them, remember Trump was in business with his father

[@calisuds9830]

Yes.

[@cujfugvjhffhchch491]

What is the point to this ?

[@rwood87]

Trump was born in 1946 and the housing case was in 1972.

[@dannygitmo]

Cohn's father was a judge....his relationship with his dad set the stage for his strategy as a lawyer and a man about town....fearless against all authority figures.

[@rogerlephoque3704]

Cohn can hardly be labelled a man about town, unless you consider his cruising activities with rent boys across town as worthy of someone so described. Regular men about town would object...

[@poetry7260]

I was saying that for the last 2 years. Steal my ideas. Lol.

[@mattgrooms1853]

Me too! lol

[@marshallj2415]

For sure Roy Cohn is in hell.

[@aaronTNGDS9]

Roy Cohn like Bernie Madoff, the late economist Milt Friedman, Ayn Rand(a person of Jewish upbringing who became an unfamous Atheist), and so many others are testimony to how degraded and diminution of moral influence Judaism had become going back thousands of years ago. The same can be said of course about both major sects of Christianity and of Islam. However, Roy Cohn's influence was so much more insidious and toxic, as was Ayn Rand's who would exert a powerful influence on the entire Conservative Movement in America.

[@charlesalexander1711]

I’d be willing to bet that all those guys weren’t very religious. All this behavior is completely antithetical to the values of Judaism

[@jeffym8929]

I don’t know if Cohn was a bad apple or not . When he was on Firing Line and that tv show with Vidal , he seemed quite reasonable. These guys are so prejudiced it’s hard to gauge much.

[@technoserf_digital]

Two years later, and much of what was said here has been validated.

@@respectamerica2382 It's funny to watch Democrats pretend they aren't building sympathy for Trump. As if they ever had any plans to run against anyone else. A clear indicator that most Americans are just plain stupid, easily manipulated, mindless conformists. Dummies will vote for whomever they're told.

This interview is more of Trump bashing than of Cohn. More than disappointing.

[@rogerlephoque3704]

I can't see how you can say that vis-a-vis Trump. The amount of footage doesn't support your assertion. But even if you were right, Cohn was Trump's mentor and lawyer when Trump was a young businessman on the up & up, and therefore an obvious influence on Trump the Snake-Oil-Salesman-in-Chief....

[@nataliebierman3067]

I Love it!! It should be spread around!!!

What a stupid remark, Predident Trump does not need Roy Cohn to do what he does. He is a winner with or without RC, why can you people admit your hatred and that for the second time we have a real Predident

[@anthony9656]

No hatred, just recognition. He's not a winner, he's just a con, but a very good con, maybe one of the best.
