I do think the arsonist only managed to douse scum and dead people, as Cohen was talking about the mafia screwing him over and wanting to return the favor. He was likely really looking for mafia. If my assumption that nobody got blackmailed night 1 is true, then either the mafia waited with their blackmail to pick a good target after a day of seeing people talk or the blackmailer was roleblocked.
Galletta has become very silent since the start of the game and was one of the first people Cohen decided to pick on. Maybe she's trying to keep us from comparing her writing style to those blackmail messages? Maybe Cohen doused her and tried to connect the dots from there? This is just a hunch and I'm not sure I'm willing to act on it yet.

Then he pushed the lynch with a different accusation (him being Drug Dealer or what was it?), knowing that Cohen was the Arsonist which would give Cafarelli credibility.
Of course, I could also be talking out of my ass.
cohen said the mafia screwed him over because they didn't drug deal me that night or anything else to prevent me from checking him. the mafia just let him die, probably they even supported the lynch to look protown. so yes, i agree with you that he indeed tried to get the mafia.
however i am not a consig, i really thought he was mafia after i received that pairing, because noone ever claimed doused. even cohen said he thinks i'm an investigator and the mafia wouldn't lynch the arsonist.
