I know it is always said "America believes in second chances." When I think of the people America gave second chances to, I instantly remember the ones who ended up not living up to their new selves. This does not mean I don't remember the ones who successfully changed for the better. I'm no Christian or believer of many Judeo-Christian things, but I will be watching to see how those that profess to be what I am not, treat Michael Cohen.
Michael Cohen says he’s reformed. Will America buy it? At Trump’s civil fraud trial in New York, which concluded in February with a $454 million judgment that is now on appeal, Cohen was a key witness, deemed “credible” by the judge.

When Michael Cohen takes the stand in the coming days as the star witness in his former boss’s criminal trial, it will mark the climax of his transformation from Donald Trump’s bullying defender to one of his loudest public enemies.
As Cohen tells and retells the story — in congressional testimony, television interviews, two books, a popular podcast and assertions to the judge in his own criminal case — he is a man on a quest for redemption. After years spent serving Trump, he says he’s ready to serve his country. A confessed liar, he says he’s now willing to risk everything for the truth.
“I am the canary in the coal mine for millions of Americans mesmerized by Trump,” Cohen said on the debut episode of his podcast, “Mea Culpa,” expressing his hope that speaking out would be a “way to right some of the many wrongs I committed at his behest.”
