Wow: as expected he is so handsome. Some rare footage of him at the link, including with his shirt off. His name was Peter Fraser, and he was a New Zealander. I wonder if he's still alive. What do you think he saw in Roy?
Cohn does have a certain charisma. His tongue seems too big for his mouth though.

Charisma? Cohn was born looking like he had AIDS.

Loathe him. He’s the one who groomed Trump.

He's not hard to find. He's in New Zealand, a zookeeper.
Bear in mind that Cohn was notorious for stiffing everyone he dealt with. If he had cash, it no doubt belonged to somebody else.
The von Hoffman bio is a fascinating dissection of Cohn's awfulness.

Because he was a reptile, R1. As the film clearly demonstrated, it wouldn’t fit in his tiny mouff.

Walters is an example of Jews supporting Jews, no matter an utter lack of moral character.
Cohn was a fucking monster who taught Trump to never admit wrongdoing. He was a fucking immoral sociopath. And the ugliness of his character was reflected in his appearance.
Physiognomy.

Roy Cohn was an ugly, ugly man. Inside and out. It probably took an army of witches and priests to get the bad mojo out of his boy toy's soul.

Wow: good find R5! I wonder if that really is him. There must be dozens of Peter Frasers in New Zealand, and there's only about 10 faces in that country which endlessly repeat.

Didn't Trump betray Cohn as Cohn was dying in the hospital? Something about putting up Cohn's boyfriend at one of his buildings. Cohn thought it was free as gratitude for all he had done for Trump. But Trump eventually wanted all the rent. Cohn called Trump a cold man. Jesus what a pair.

Cohn was a horrible human being but he was right about the liberal elite in NYC and DC.

R5, I was wrong, you are correct.
"By his own account, Peter Fraser was Cohn's lover for more than the last two years of Cohn's life. The Times article reports that Fraser returned to New Zealand, where he now works as a conservationist at the Auckland Zoo."

I read that Peter Fraser inherited Cohn's house, but it seems to have been encumbered in Cohn's tax troubles.
Here is. Ahistory if the house at 39 E. 68th Street which began as a side-hall Italianate brownstone (one of an identical 7 each with s raised first floor entrance) of ca.1871 and was reworked in 2913 into its current Beaux Arts design with a ground floor entrance and limestone facade.

Didn't Walters's relationship with Cohn have something to do with her father, who was a mob-linked NY night club operator?

Peter Fraser was clearly a prostitution whore.
Roy Cohn is one of the most evil men who ever lived. As consequential as Hitler.

R18, please let us know who the liberal elite are or were? Last time I looked, most filthy rich people I know (about 2/3) were and are Republicans.
Now if by elite you mean Harvard/Yale educated young lawyers and other WASPs with bucks- well yeah! He chased them like no one’s business- he was obsessed with handsome young WASPs.
Watch “Where’s My Roy Cohn” and the older fans one guy with white hair (they show pics of him in his heyday)- speaks about Roy and what kind of guys he chased after.
I was invited to a big house party at their beautiful Tudor estate in CT in about ‘75 or ‘76 by a couple of 30ish handsome lawyers- I went with my best friend at the time and I remember asking him- how do these guys afford this place. My friend told me they didn’t own it- may have been in their names but it was owned by Cohn. When I finally met him I knew instinctually (I was no more than 22) that this was a guy to have nothing to do with.

Sorry for the screwy sentence above- auto correct- the guy I refer to in the ‘where’s my Roy Cohn’ docu as a young man knew Roy quite well and very accurately describes him.
