“Where’s My Roy Cohn?”: Film Explores How Joseph McCarthy’s Ex-Aide Mentored Trump & Roger Stone

[@rcpilot179]

@@queenslander954 I heard it was James Woods. What a disgusting mess. He was Trumps best friend? A mob lawyer and former imagined communist prosecutor. I believe that this is where Trumps ability to lie was magnified. The constant need to proclaim victory, contradictory to reality and ethics. He lost so many cases. Never admitting defeat. As a slumlord Trump had over 2,900 cases involving racial discrimination, systemic unsafe housing issues, and everything else that might pertain to being a slumlord.

[@ragauerk9310]

"Important men in tRumps life," writings on the wall, screwed over both of them, that's the nature of 'importance' to him.

Cannot overemphasize how impressive Matt Tyrnauer’s commentary on his film in this clip was. He speaks like a writer. A GOOD writer. Unhesitatingly, thoughtfully, and accessing a range of vocabulary that not only expresses his own mind, but the depth of his analysis of the subject at hand. Not a bad voice either. I’ll be keeping an eye out and searching for more Matt. Of course, have had and will always have ultimate respect and warm newsy feelings for Amy Goodman!

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

I had the same impression.Somewhat disappointed by the film, it was all of what I already knew-and how excellent Matt Tymaur’s aptitude as an excellent communicator. Thus-I ABSOLUTELY want to keep my eyes open, re. anything that Tymaur directs in any genre, from here into the future.

[@jpartin3471]

It's interesting that there is no mention of democrat driven down and dirty malfeasance? Matt is a well spoken and accomplished filmmaker, but his commentary presupposes a blanket innocence of Cohn's accusers.
