From this New Yorker piece:
"The narrative that will become widely understood is that Donald Trump
did not sit atop a global empire. He was not an intuitive genius and
tough guy who created billions of dollars of wealth through
fearlessness. He had a small, sad operation, mostly run by his two
oldest children and Michael Cohen, a lousy lawyer who barely keeps up
the pretenses of lawyering and who now faces an avalanche of charges, from taxicab-backed bank fraud to money laundering and campaign-finance violations."
"Cohen was the key intermediary between the Trump family and its partners
around the world; he was chief consigliere and dealmaker throughout its
period of expansion into global partnerships with sketchy oligarchs. He
wasn’t a slick politico who showed up for a few months. He knows
everything, he recorded much of it, and now prosecutors will know it,
too."
