Isn't it Ironic that Michael is being grilled by the Defense for days, when he is not the Criminal that created this situation!

[@Homesteadturcke]

@sandradrouillard7150. it's called a cross examination of the star witness. Do you understand how a court case works? Your comment would be laughable if not such a sad example of how brainwashed and ignorant so many far leftists are, yet you're out there spewing hate.

[@sat0rii]

If their core strategy is just gonna continue being, "He lied for that one guy, that one time, so now he must be lying about everything." I don't see them getting a hung jury.

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

The prosecution still has not identified the crime Trump supposedly committed. They are still trying to bootstrap onto a federal election finance law that the FEC looked at and said no violation and they are trying to use the federal law to activate a state election law. This case was a dog from day one. Further New York has no authority to try federal law and the federal law they are trying to bootstrap to the FEC looked at and said there was no violation of federal campaign finance law. Trump has not committed a crime.

[@buddhaweatherby368]

I am no real fan of Michael Cohen, but he does seem to have actually learned his lesson. I find him credible at this point. If he is in fact rehabilitated, I wish him well in making amends, or at least moving forward trying to balance his karmic debt.

Cohens attorney Robert Costello has come forward and said Cohen is lying on the witness stand under oath, Mr. Costello can talk because Cohen signed a waiver for attorney client privilege when he was trying to make a deal with the SDNY, Mr. Coltello warned Cohen not to lie then and he says Cohen is lying now as well. Cohen can't be trusted, he is a serial liar.
