Key Notes
Roy Cohn was the original Jeffrey Epstein: a Washington blackmail operator tied to J. Edgar Hoover who specialized in compromising politicians.
Trump's most important lesson from Roy Cohn was not just how to blackmail others, but how to avoid becoming blackmailable himself.
Jiang says Donald Trump should be understood as a construct of his father Fred Trump and of later powerful mentors rather than as a self-made business genius.
