The Deep State looks to add another well-heeled pawn to their roster who will do as they are told, or else.
Michael Cohen, once a lawyer for former President Donald Trump, has expressed his ambition to run for Congress in 2026. He plans to contest against U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler for New York’s 12th Congressional District. Cohen, who recently testified in a case regarding Trump’s “hush money” payments, mentioned in an interview with New York Magazine his desire to replace Nadler, acknowledging Nadler’s long service but suggesting it was time for change.

Cohen’s decision to run was supposed to be announced sooner but was delayed due to his own health issues following the intense legal battle against Trump. Despite his controversial past, including a prison sentence for fraud and perjury, Cohen remains optimistic about his chances, reflecting on the openness of American politics where even those with tarnished reputations can seek office.
In his interview, Cohen criticized Trump for not supporting him during his legal troubles, which ultimately led to his decision to oppose Trump publicly. He recounted his challenges, including sleepless nights that led to erratic behavior, such as venting his frustrations through TikTok videos. Cohen also shared his disbelief and frustration over Trump’s apparent disinterest during the trial, as observed in the courtroom.

Cohen’s testimony, while not universally praised, was part of a trial that concluded with a jury convicting the former president on contentious charges. The verdict has sparked discussions and debates about its implications. Trump is scheduled for sentencing shortly before the upcoming Republican National Convention. As Cohen prepares for his political campaign, his past and his pivotal role in the legal proceedings against Trump are likely to be central themes in his run for office.
And don’t forget, the Deep State can get a ham sandwich elected. And has.
