A learning moment: Principal - Agent problem, a Michael Cohen edition

The case illustrates that your lawyer (doctor, advisor, consultant) doesn't necessarily
- know what s/he is doing;
- have your best interests in mind;
- provide independent professional advice, rather than advancing his/her own business goals.

Also, once the Principal changes, e.g. from Trump to FBI, the Agent's behavior may also change to the detriment of the previous Principal.

the talk of impeachment looks more like a Republican strategy to excite the party’s base ahead of the November elections than a realistic assessment of what will happen next January.

Unless Democrats win 2/3 of the Senate or covfefe confesses, starting the impeachment process in the House makes no sense. For the 2020 presidential elections, a lame duck would be better, than a cooked duck.

Ridiculously simple

It looks like the whole Supply-Demand concept is a particular case of the Brouwer fixed point theorem.
