This message is for everyone across this Substack community — subscribers, readers, creators, journalists, the people who amplify, and the people who are just beginning to pay attention. It needs to travel. It needs to be seen. And it needs to be understood.

Over the last month there has been confusion, noise, and constant drama — and it all started when the Epstein files surfaced, Michael Cohen’s name appeared, and simple, fair questions began to be asked. Questions about accountability. Questions about justice for survivors. Questions that any person claiming to stand for truth should be willing to answer.

Instead of answers, we got attacks.

We got deflection.

We got threats.

Independent journalists. Subscribers. Members of this community. People asking in good faith.

And here’s why this moment matters.

For six years, Cohen has told the world he was finally choosing truth. He built an audience repeating that he had turned, that he wanted accountability, that he had nothing left to hide. But the second real pressure came — the second the questions became uncomfortable — he ran to friendlier territory, appearing on PBD Podcast, a space where the message was clearly aimed at an audience of one: Donald Trump.

Think about that.

When faced with tough but fair questions from people seeking justice, he didn’t lean in. He didn’t clarify. He didn’t help the survivors get closer to truth.

He pivoted.

So I did something important.

I compiled a four-minute video so you can see Michael Cohen then and Michael Cohen now. His words. His tone. His direction. What the world isn’t being shown when the headlines move fast and the clips disappear.

Because this isn’t really about Cohen.

This is about whether we ever get the truth about Trump.

Our community has always believed sunlight wins. Receipts win. Facts win. And every time someone tries to muddy the water, we come back stronger, together, focused on what matters: accountability.

Watch the video.

Share the video.

Talk about the video.

And remember why you’re here.

Not for personalities.

For truth.

Because truth matters.
