Maggie Haberman, A Breakfast with Sharpton as Isolation Deepens for Cohen. New York Times, Sept 6, 2018.

four consecutive paragraphs:

"Rev Al "Sharpton is one of the few prominent Democrats who have offered Mr [Michael D] Cohen anything verging on warmth as his life has spiraled downward.

When Mr Cohen was considering pleading guilty, some of his associates assured him that the anti-Trump cavalry would swiftly offer support. They suggested to him that he would be embraced as an ally in the campaign to take down the president.

"Mr Cohen has instead remained isolated and politically toxic. Despite Mr Cohen's comments in court that were seen as damaging to Mr Trump, some Democrats still dismiss him as a Trump lackey who deserves everything that he gets, legally or otherwise.

"Once a millionaire -- at least on paper -- Mr Cohen now has a GoFundMe account to help with exorbitant legal bills in the face of no income. He is living in his East Side apartment, in virtual isolation as he gets his affairs in order ahead of the Dec 12 sentencing so that there is less of a burden on his wife, Laura, and their two grown children, friends said.

My comment: There is no need to read the rest.
