Cohen, Trump, and Longfellow

Michael Cohen had the book thrown at him today.  It was recommended by Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York that Cohen receive a significant jail sentence.  That recommendation arose because of Cohen's having committed election fraud on behalf of someone identified as Individual 1.

To make a long story short:

• Individual 1 is Donald Trump.
• The fraud in question centered on paying off Stormy Daniels and Karen MacDougall so that their tales of affairs with Trump did not damage his chances of election.

Why Longfellow?  It's poetic that a charge of this seriousness arises out of an aspect of Mr. Trump's behavior that I have always found particularly repulsive - his sexism and misogyny.
