To guard against fatal conceit, triumphant Roman generals famously were warned during celebrations that "Thou art mortal." Michael Cohen is about to provide a far more cinematic reminder to Donald Trump.
Lest there be doubt that blood will flow, reports emerged before Cohen began testifying Tuesday that he would accuse Trump of committing crimes since he became president.
In his guilty plea last year to federal charges, which earned him three years in prison, Cohen said he acted at the direction of "Individual 1" in making hush-money payments to women who said they had sexual relations with Trump.
Beyond the public relations aspect, it's also important to remember that, whatever Cohen tells Congress, he has already told it to special counsel Robert Mueller.
Cohen always struck me as a pathetic figure, forever doomed to be on the outside of the Trump limelight, looking in.
Having Cohen lay out his charges on camera could remind many Americans why they disliked the president.
Even in the unlikely event that he and Kim Jong Un announce a dramatic breakthrough, North Korean nukes will take a backseat to anything and everything Cohen says.
