Born to an observant Jewish family in the Bronx, New York City, Cohn was the only child of Dora (née Marcus; 1892–1967) and Judge Albert C. Cohn (1885–1959), who was influential in Democratic Party politics.
...
Born in New York City and educated at Columbia University, Cohn rose to prominence as a U.S. Department of Justice prosecutor at the espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, which concluded with the Rosenbergs' executions in 1953. As McCarthy's chief counsel, Cohn came to be closely associated with McCarthyism and its downfall. He also represented and mentored real estate developer and later President of the United States Donald Trump during his early business career.
...
Speculation about Cohn's sexuality intensified following his death from AIDS in 1986.[8] In a 2008 article published in The New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin quotes Roger Stone: "Roy was not gay. He was a man who liked having sex with men. Gays were weak, effeminate. He always seemed to have these young blond boys around. It just wasn't discussed. He was interested in power and access."[58] Stone worked with Cohn beginning with the Reagan campaign during the 1976 Republican Party presidential primaries.
Connections, connections.
Do you think he offered the Rosenbergs in order to gain trust ?
I guess I can't speak with any certainty about Cohn and the Rosenbergs, but that's a good hypothesis. It seems that it is a common tactic with spies to give up another spy to further implant themselves. The main objective would have been the nuclear tech so it wouldn't hurt to break a few eggs if you get to eat the omelette.
Especially considering how the story has been used over the following decades. In my social studies classes the Rosenbergs' case was always presented as being ambiguous and that a Red Scare witch-hunt may have been a big factor in it. So it looks like (((they))) got a twoofer: the nuclear tech & other secrets, and a scapegoat story to beat the American public over the head with.
