While the disgusting Fake News is doing everything within their power not to report it that way, at least 3 major players are intimating that the Angry Mueller Gang of Dems is viciously telling witnesses to lie about facts & they will get relief. This is our Joseph McCarthy Era!

Claiming that an ongoing criminal investigation represents a new "Joseph McCarthy Era" where said criminal investigation is looking at activities from someone who was none other than Roy Cohn's own protégé (and coming from someone who was a close acquaintance to Cohn himself).
Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?

Obviously, there's no record of the actual conversation where Cohn received his fatal diagnosis, but the filmmakers no doubt had insight into people who knew Cohn and were able to capture his real-life personality.
