Guess Cohen just oversold that too. Also, I figure the biggest "mistake" was not the hiring, but that it came out.

That being said, sadly I can't read the article without suscribing, and that I won't do.

Yes, they were certainly looking for access, not "expertise."  So they weren't fooled in that respect.

But there was still a tremendous misjudgment, in that Cohen could not deliver. Not even close.  Why would Trump let Cohen, or anyone, make hundreds of thousands of dollars on his brand without a taste?

They were played. And somebody lost his job over it.

Here is a bit:

Some in Washington expressed sympathy for Bob Quinn who was ousted Friday as AT&T’s senior executive vice president of external and legislative affairs. Stephenson said in his email that Quinn was retiring.

Under AT&T’s rules, Quinn had significant leeway to approve the Cohen contract because its $600,000 price tag did not trigger oversight from more senior executives, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal company practices.

But Quinn appeared to recognize that the Cohen deal was a mistake, according to another person who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely discuss Quinn’s situation.

“People should recognize that he [Quinn] came to recognize it was a misjudgment — witness the fact last year that he terminated the contract, got out of it as fast as he could, and that’s a point that’s not being written right now as people pile on,” the person said. “But that’s factually accurate and it ought to carry more weight in this situation.”

Quote:Daniels landed on Jimmy Kimmel, got a character on Saturday Night Live, inked a more lucrative deal to direct adult films—and hit the touring circuit in a big way, tripling her bookings at strip clubs across the country while commanding more than double her previous appearance fees.


Based on interviews with industry experts, Forbes estimates that Daniels’ annual earnings—thought to be in the low six-figure range before the scandal broke—will likely double this year, at the very least.
