"It is unfair." Aw, so very unfair. Poor man.
They scream unfairness while breaking the law. Denial works. Frequently. The question is has the American people had enough of the denial?
Michael Cohen predicted all of it in his testimony to Congress.

Peter Navarro, (click here) a White House adviser to former President Donald J. Trump who defied a subpoena to provide information to the House committee investigating the Capitol attack, was indicted on Friday by a federal grand jury on charges of contempt of Congress.
The indictment, handed up in Federal District Court in Washington, marked the first time that an official who served in Mr. Trump’s White House during the events of Jan. 6, 2021, has been charged in connection with the investigation into the attack.
Prosecutors charged Mr. Navarro, 72, with what amounted to a misdemeanor process crime for having failed to appear for a deposition or provide documents to congressional investigators in response to a subpoena issued by the House committee on Feb. 9. The indictment charges him with two counts of criminal contempt that each carry a maximum sentence of a year in prison, as well as a fine of up to $100,000.
Mr. Navarro, who was arrested and taken into federal custody, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He appeared in court on Friday afternoon, speaking on his own behalf and telling a federal magistrate judge that the congressional subpoena he was served with was “illegal” and “unenforceable.”
