This generation’s Roy Cohn and Lee Atwater. Though Trump is so surrounded by the type it’s hard to narrow it down. Donald Trump’s old friend Roy Cohn that is.

I copied and saved his statement from right after his pardon:
“I have admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction — mistakes that have been exploited to publicly humiliate and shame me and my family for political sport,” he said.

Roger Stone, however, may have been around. (I have no conclusive evidence of this.) Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Lee Atwater.
