1. He fixes things

Like that mess with Falwell Jr and Becki.

2. He's a man of special gifts.

3. Seems highly unlikely that prisoners would have

access to matches, and starting a fire in a jail cell is bound to bring on some serious trouble. Color me suspicious of this tale.

4. Yeah claimed to do it on a special night

Sounds a bit hinky, but who knows.

7. It was the first night of Passover

5. He ever hear of a thumb drive?

6. apparently...yes!

Cohen was afraid that the pro-Trump guards would find a way to get the manuscript to the White House, or leak it to the media.

Because this was around the first night of Passover, the prison supplied a contained fire that allowed its Jewish inmates to burn leavened products—or hametz. Instead of bread, Cohen burned the 500 pages of his manuscript, knowing that his wife had access to a backup copy on a thumb drive.
