Is Trump's Fascism part of the Reason for Cohen's Willingness to Indict Him?

That Cohen, in the end, decided to come clean about Trump, and so to end any possibility of a presidential pardon, may be the result of a legal strategy, or it could just point to the sudden acquisition of a conscience.

all of the instances trump has said or done something that reflects his bigotry or just lack of consideration for the people close to him. Someone may have simply asked him, "If the situation was reversed, do you think DJT would remain silent and go to prison for you, or would he flip?"

There was a story about Cohen's son's bar mitzvah, and donald was invited. When he didn't show, Cohen called him and begged him to attend the reception or after-party. I don't think trump ever made time for it, yet Cohen was someone he dealt with closely and frequently.

Correction:

President Donald Trump reportedly humiliated his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen at his son's bar mitzvah in 2012.

Trump was apparently so late to the event — a ceremony in the Jewish faith that marks a young person's transition into adulthood — that he delayed the blessings, according to what an attendee told The Wall Street Journal.

The future president then gave a speech in which he said he hadn't actually planned on attending but came after Cohen begged him to come by repeatedly calling him, his secretary, and his children. The attendee said guests cracked up at Trump's remarks, because they seemed fairly believable.
