Deny, Attack, Obfuscate: Learning Trump's Playbook from Inside Roy Cohn's Family

"He was nefarious. He was horrible." That's how Dave Marcus describes his cousin Roy Cohn, who was a mentor to Donald Trump up until his death. Cohn taught Trump and Giuliani how to be criminals, showing them plays from his own playbook, which he used to aid members of the mafia, among others, as a "fixer." Cohn taught Trump and Giuliani the tactic they employ most frequently today: deny, attack, obfuscate. Marcus gives a unique insight on what his family considered their most "phony" member and how his most corrupt methods are on display in Trump's White House. Dave Marcus is the recipient of a Pulitzer Price for International Reporting, and penned at op-ed for Politico which you can read here: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/09/24/roy-cohn-trump-cousin-228167  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
