Although the State Department insisted Mr Giuliani was merely acting in his private capacity rather than on behalf of the state, in the eyes of any reasonable person—particularly the one from Ukraine where oligarchs wield much informal power—Mr Giuliani was more important than a state official; he was Mr Trump's consigliere.

"Michael Cohen's public statements Monday and other recent signs strongly suggest that Trump's longtime consigliere will seek to 'flip' on the president, becoming a government cooperator and potential star witness," former White House ethics lawyer Norman Eisen and two other criminal law experts wrote in in a joint OpEd in The Washington Post on Tuesday.

The guests included the president-elect's chief White House strategist, Stephen K. Bannon; his son-in-law and family consigliere, Jared Kushner; his chief of staff, Reince Priebus; his economic adviser, Gary Cohn; his nominee for Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin; his incoming deputy chief of staff, Rick Dearborn; and his legislative-affairs director, Marc Short.

But on Wednesday, the cast will get a boost from two actors with plenty of awards hardware: The four-time Emmy winner Alfre Woodard will play the estranged mother of Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), while the Oscar winner Forest Whitaker continues his formidable turn as the consigliere Eddie, who angles for power at the Lyon family's record label.

Mr. Cohen, a consigliere to Mr. Trump when he was a real estate developer and presidential candidate as well as informally when he was president, was privy to the machinations of Mr. Trump's inner circle and to key moments under scrutiny by both the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and federal prosecutors in New York.

Democrats sense a tantalising thicket of embarrassment: that the president paid ludicrously low amounts of tax (as the few leaked excerpts suggest); that he is not worth as much as he claims; the possibility of bank, insurance and tax fraud (as his former consigliere Michael Cohen claimed under oath in his testimony to Congress) and large, undisclosed entanglements with Saudi and Russian companies.

Bloomberg's top advisers, such as his long-time political consigliere Kevin Sheekey, inherently understand that political influence is different from, yet complimentary to, economic influence, and thus having Mike Bloomberg bandied about as a potential disrupter in the 2020 election cycle makes all the sense in the world, even if its not something Bloomberg is even giving serious consideration to privately.

We're only certain that Jimmy McGill is making the wrong choices on Better Call Saul because we know that someday he'll become ambulance chaser and drug lord consigliere Saul Goodman — a path that will end with him taking on an assumed identity to avoid prosecution and managing a Cinnabon in Omaha, seemingly lost in memories of the man he was.

For the next couple of decades, Galsworthy served as Conrad's consigliere—lobbying the Royal Literary Fund ("No living writer of English, to my mind, better deserves support"), fielding Conrad's queries about his son's education ("I am sending you the prospectus to look at"), playing " 'in between' man" during a dispute with the agent J. B. Pinker ("Conrad asks me to ask you to write to him").

Apparently everyone is in on the action except Judge Judy: a fired FBI director who calls the President unfit to serve, a New York courtroom drama that features Trump's favorite consigliere Michael Cohen, stories of payments to playmates and porn stars on behalf of the boss, a race-car driving, media-savvy attorney out to run over Cohen, and mystery clients, including Fox star Sean Hannity.

Given two recent precedents—forcing the testimony of George Bush's White House Counsel Harriet Miers (and consigliere Karl Rove) in the investigation into the firing of U.S. Attorneys and the cooperation of Barack Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder in the investigation into the Fast and Furious scandal—a Democratic House will likely be able to compel cooperation from witnesses, even if it might take a while.

There was an expectation in the market—an expectation created, in part, by Icahn's own remarks—that, with Trump in the White House and Icahn playing consigliere, the rules were about to change, and not just at the E.P.A. Icahn's empire ranges across many economic sectors, from energy to pharmaceuticals to auto supplies to mining, and all of them are governed by the types of regulations about which he would now potentially be advising Trump.

Fischer's "early departure meanwhile will rob the next Fed chair of a hugely respected and experienced number two who might otherwise have served as consigliere to a new Fed chair in the early months of his or her term and helped smooth the transition in the base case in which Yellen is not appointed to a second term (we put Yellen reappointment at roughly 20 per cent)," Guha said in a note.

That's when the SVCF — the behind-the-scenes consigliere to the wealthy — became the front-of-camera story, devastated by a series of media portraits that painted the charity as riven by some of the same cultural problems that plague too many startups: a grow-at-all-costs attitude; a culture of intimidation, fear, and lewd sexual dialogue; and eventually, the messy ouster of a charismatic CEO who built a juggernaut, at least before the jig was up.

Among others in his merry band of preservationists are his wife Pía León, an acclaimed chef in her own right; his sister Malena Martinez, head of the group's native ingredient-cataloging operation; and Francesco D'Angelo Piaggio, the staff anthropologist and community outreach consigliere who has the best backstory of the bunch: When he was still working on his thesis in a nearby rural community, his mother saw the Virgilio Martinez episode of "Chef's Table" on Netflix and insisted her son do the same, given the gentlemen's eerily simpatico sensibilities.
