When you come at the King : inside DOJ's pursuit of the president, from Nixon to Trump / by Honig, Elie,author.;
"Imagine you've been put in charge of investigating your own boss-- who also happens to be the most powerful person on the planet. You might unearth information that will be politically, professionally, and personally devastating to your subject, and you alone hold the power to indict and potentially imprison him. At the same time, the boss can fire you and end the case -- and might even turn the tables and launch an inquiry aimed at you. As the lone-wolf assassin Omar put it in The Wire : 'You come at the king, you best not miss.' That's the crucible for any Special Counsel. For decades, the Department of Justice has appointed outside prosecutors to handle our highest-stakes cases. But do these independent investigations lead to justresults? In When You Come at the King, CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig delivers a fast-paced, insider's account of the most important Justice Department investigations of the past fifty years, based on dozens of on-record interviews with firsthand participants. A Watergate prosecutor reveals she hid copies of key documents at home toguard against potential destruction of evidence by the president's allies. A member of the Iran-Contra prosecution team explains why they made a shocking election-eve revelation. A defense lawyer for Donald Trump details his private meeting with Jack Smith just days before Trump was indicted. From Ken Starr's investigation of Bill Clinton to modern cases involving Patrick Fitzgerald, Robert Mueller, Jack Smith, and more, Honig charts how the Special Counsel system developed and evolved over time. We know the maxim that a nation can be measured by how it treats its weakest members. This book explores an inverse corollary: A nation reveals much about itself by how it holds accountable its most powerful leaders when they've done wrong. Now, with the future of Special Counsels in doubt, When You Come at theKing addresses the most important question of all: Can the system evolve to better serve the call for justice?"--

Revenge : how Donald Trump weaponized the US Department of Justice against his critics / by Cohen, Michael(Lawyer),author.(CARDINAL)796349;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-297)."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. "I was introduced to Michael Cohen by our author John Dean, who impressed upon me that since Michael has come over from the dark side, he's taken quite a beating for doing so, and from both sides," said Melville House co-publisher Dennis Johnson. "This strikes me as an important story to tell, so we're proud to throw in with him as he continues to reveal first-hand how an authoritarian president can lastingly corrupt a government--and as he fights the continuing perniciousness of Trumpism." 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 other 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"--Introduction -- The bullshit begins -- The "Sovereign District" of New York -- To Otisville I go! -- How many accountants does it take to screw in a lightbulb? -- Democracy in peril -- The Department of Injustice -- Appendix: Documents and social media.

Disloyal : a memoir : the true story of the former personal attorney to the president of the United States / by Cohen, Michael(Lawyer),author.(CARDINAL)796349;
"Once Donald Trump's fiercest surrogate, closest confidant, and staunchest defender, Michael Cohen knows where the skeletons are buried. This is the most devastating business and political horror story of the century. As Trump's lawyer and "fixer," Cohen not only witnessed firsthand but was also an active participant in the inner workings of Trump's business empire, political campaign, and presidential administration. This is a story that you have not read in newspapers, or on social media, or watched on television. These are accounts that only someone who worked for Trump around the clock for over a decade--not a few months or even a couple of years--could know. Cohen describes Trump's racist rants against President Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, and Black and Hispanic people in general, as well as the cruelty, humiliation, and abuse he leveled at family and staff. Whether he's exposing the fact that Trump engaged in tax fraud by inflating his wealth or electronic fraud by rigging an online survey, or outing Trump's Neanderthal views towards women or his hush-money payments to clandestine lovers, Cohen pulls no punches. He shows Trump's relentless willingness to lie, exaggerate, mislead, or manipulate. Trump emerges as a man without a soul--a man who courts evangelicals and then trashes them, panders to the common man, but then rips off small business owners, a con man who will do or say absolutely anything to win, regardless of the cost to his family, his associates, or his country. At the heart of Disloyal, we see how Cohen came under the spell of his charismatic "Boss" and, as a result, lost all sense of his moral compass. The real "real" Donald Trump who permeates these pages--the racist, sexist, homophobic, lying, cheating President--will be discussed, written about, and analyzed for years to come."--As Trump's lawyer and "fixer," Cohen not only witnessed firsthand but was also an active participant in the inner workings of Trump's business empire, political campaign, and presidential administration.
