MIckey Cohen, Attorney


I suppose everyone has noticed that Trump’s attorney is Mickey Cohen. Cohen has been out of the news since the 1970s. Born in 1913, he must be about 104 years old.

In the past Cohen represented, informally, famous Americans like Moe Dalitz, Owney Madden, Al Capone and Bugsy Siegel. My wife says Mickey Cohen is not Mickey Cohen but only someone named for him. That seems unlikely to me—that there are two Mickey Cohens. Mickey Cohen is one of a kind. Why would someone as shrewd as Donald Trump hire an imitation?
