Revenge

How Donald Trump Weaponized the US Department of Justice Against His Critics

By: Michael Cohen

Narrated by: Keith Szarabajka

The man the New York State Attorney General credited with inspiring her prosecution of Donald Trump—New York Times number one bestselling author Michael Cohen—tells the behind-the-scenes story of what can happen to you—and what really happened to him—when a President who believes himself to be above the law decides to go after his critics . . . .

When Michael Cohen's secret payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels on behalf of Donald Trump made Cohen look like a liability to the by-then-President of the United States, the end to their decade-long relationship came swiftly—with a knock on the door from the FBI. Soon, Cohen would find himself imprisoned—even though he had plenty of evidence to show he was innocent of most of the charges.

Meanwhile, with the release of the Steele Dossier, Cohen also found himself battling endless news reports citing the Dossier's claims that he'd had clandestine dealings with Russia—reports that only mounted despite his exoneration by the Mueller Report.

In a story now being echoed in recent breaking news stories about IRS persecution of Trump foes such as former FBI head James Comey and others, Cohen details—in his inimitable blunt language, with absolutely no holds barred and naming names—his attempt to clear his name and tell the truth about Donald Trump. Chillingly, he also makes clear what happens when you try to speak truth to power, and the power knows no bounds.

A Bullet For Him

I can see the conversation now. Trump: "Mike, I need you to go full Central Casting for me. Write a couple of books with all the usual character flaws and a bunch of salacious garbage, but work some epic truths in there. It'll give you the plausible deniability, but you may end up in prison for a bit. Don't worry, you won't be the only one. You're joining an elite group that can never be thanked enough for such sacrifice. You have been a friend like no other all these years, but I'd very much appreciate it if you take these bullets for the sake of the narrative. Your country will thank you, one of these days, I'll make sure of it."
Cohen: "Yes Sir, it would be an honor to fall on this sword." :)

All the lies Trump told

I like this book very much. It’s opened my eyes to what is really going on in this world and how we have to not let Trump into office for he will destroy our democracy. Trump is the enemy of democracy.

Excellent

I have enjoyed this book and will read more of his stories Great read! enjoy

The title and Reader

I would have preferred Michael Cohen to have read it. The one who did was fine but I did enjoy Michael's first book better with him reading it himself.

Second, I think the title shouldn't have been Revenge. That made me think Micael Cohen was seeking revenge but, in actuality, it wasn't that. It was more about others who were seeking revenge, which I thought was much more interesting.

I really did enjoy this book. It explained a lot in great detail and I appreciated the info. Thank you Michael Cohen for writing this.
