Cohen cross-examination kicks off with fiery exchange

Donald Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche begins cross-examining Michael Cohen, the prosecution's key witness, as the defense aims to discredit his testimony in the criminal hush money trial in New York. #CNN #News

[@mjpthetrucker9485]

Cross exam in a nutshell : you weren't nice to trump on social media. 😂 If that's all the defense has just send it to jury deliberation. Cohen isn't under a gag order.

[@ethanweeter2732]

And he was not under gag order because anything he tweeted could be used against him without being or judicial to his case. Trump cannot disparage certain people because it would lead to his case being overturned on appeal if he caused himself to be convicted based on that prejudice.

[@yvettemontalvo7991]

tbh I dont think its remorse, I think that hes pissed that Trump left him hanging dry after years of him being his "fixer" which meant, bullying, harassing, yelling, paying off and or intimidating others on behalf of Trump. He said it himself, he loved being in the "inner cycle" of Trump like hes a god and I cant bring myself (not yet at least) to believe that if he was Still in his inner cycle would he be remorseful? He most likely realizes now that Trump is not the Hokey Pokey, he is not what its all about and feels foolish even,, but is it remorse? I dont see it as remorse. If anything separating from Trump has made him popular and rich, the more shit he talks about Trump the more books he writes and gets invited to the news networks, whereas before he was just a guy who no one knew that did dirty deals for Trump in the back of dark rooms.

[@BreeezyNights]

Each one of you is absolutely correct, it should B based on the facts of the case, However, what actually matters is what & how the jury "SEEEES" everything & how the jury "FEEEEELS" about everything they see... Remember, they only need ONE person to say they doubt everything & case is shot! So, it does actually matter how the Defense Attorney can paint Michael Cohen to get a juror to say NO! Every time, I heard Cohen talking on the different news stations, I would scream & say out loud, "PLEASE STOP, please just stop, you're givin em too much amo! UGH!" I think Cohen wants sluthery slimy agent orange 45 in jail almost as much as I do, but it would B so very ironic if he doesn't go to jail BC of all that dayum talking Cohen has done! & don't get me wrong here, it should NOT have anything to do w/thow Cohen feels, but, we both know, in this case, sadly it could! 🫤

[@Astrobrant2]

@@tommycoe2333 Fortunately, his feelings do not change the evidence. The prosecution has prepared well for that. Some jurors might feel that Cohen would be as likely to lie against Trump now as he was to lie _for_ Trump several years ago. But I think that most of them will believe he has some credibility, and however bad Blanche makes him look, it won't change their verdict. Surely some of them will point out to others that they had enough evidence to convict Trump before Cohen ever took the stand. And if I was on the jury, I would keep reminding them that Cohen was convicted and imprisoned for this crime. The boss man should be, as well. I'm looking forward to the prosecution's re-direct and closing arguments as far as Cohen is concerned. Maybe they should read off a list of people Trump has attacked on social media over the last couple of years. Just _reading_ the list, without any further commentary, would probably take 15 minutes.

[@noway12510]

Cohen was a lawyer who knows right from wrong. He had a choice; he chose to tell Trump it will be fine.

[@cocotower]

You don't quite understand. COHEN went to jail for LYING under oath MULTIPLE TIMES, MANY TIMES, which he's doing RIGHT NOW AGAIN. He's a felon trying to get revenge. Every political candidate has a lawyer who takes care of things without needing to be babysitting or asked if they're doing it proper. I'd argue that Cohen set Trump up, hence the private recordings of Trump which totally proves that Cohen was just another democrat plant.

[@vickisouthall7551]

It’s argumentative towards the lawyer, but what was said about Trump is how many people feel about Trump crying about being held accountable seems to be his MO and don’t run for president. If you’re gonna commit crimes it doesn’t give you a free pass.

[@scorpogee6280]

He doesn't need a free pass. We've a justice system that takes so long to resolve anything that all he has to do is file appeals upon appeals so that the trials get delayed.

[@gilliandale4854]

You guys **might** just consider that if someone had treated you like trumpsky et al treated Michael Cohen, you would have some pretty solid reasons to dislike that person intensely. (like being the only one that served JAIL time already for what they also were part of). That doesn't mean that you are lying when you relate what he did. There are many documents in this case that support everything Cohen is saying. Get a grip.

[@subobing3551]

It’s COMMON SENSE that Cohen would be pissed at dumpy. Anyone would understand that. But the evidence shows that cohen is correct about what happened. So there’s that 🤷🏼‍♀️ who cares what he said (except dumpy!)

[@Saxboy1966]
