Sometimes “deals” are so big that we can’t see them.
Sometimes they’re in ink.
Sometimes they’re sealed with a handshake, a suggestion, or an “understanding”.
The “best” know how to get things done without getting pinned down.
Roy Cohn, attorney for the Italian Mafia, was so good that we’re still haunted by him. He was Trump‘s mentor. Roger Stone and Paul Manafort, too. Countless others. His proteges haven’t done as well.
