Michael Cohen - They Govern Like Day Traders

Thomas Jefferson, a man of contradictions and brilliance, once warned, “If once [public office] becomes a job, it will become a corrupt job.” Now, Jefferson also believed some pretty damn warped things, but on this one, he was spot-on. And if you’re wondering how prophetic that warning really was, just look at Congress today. You’ll find a bunch of grifters playing dress-up as public servants, looting the system while waving the Constitution like a shield.

These aren’t public officials. They’re portfolio managers with voting privileges.

Let’s talk about the absolute audacity of it all. This week, Congressman John Rose, Republican of Tennessee—who, mind you, is supposed to be representing his district—was asked about a proposed stock trading ban for members of Congress. His response? “I’d go broke if I couldn’t trade.”

Let me say that again. A sitting member of Congress, whose entire job is to serve you, straight-up admitted that he relies on stock trades to stay afloat. Not his salary. Not a side hustle. Not even a second job flipping burgers. Nope. Insider-flavored Wall Street bets. That’s the lifeline.
