The guy who helped teach Trump to never admit he was wrong, even when he clearly was. And who died in disgrace.

The scene from the Angels in America miniseries where a dying Cohn himself (played by Al Pacino) gets visited by the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg (played by Meryl Streep)--who he helped condemn to die--is one of my favorite scenes in television.
