CNN analyst: "I've never seen a witness who's lied to Congress, who's lied to court, who's lied to the IRS, who's lied to the Southern District ...

No. Again, you’re wrong. The sole witness to the claim that Trump was reimbursing Cohen is Cohen, himself, a convicted perjurer, serial liar and now a confessed thief.
Of course that's all ridiculously wrong. Cohen's testimony is corroborated by all of the evidence, including the amounts of the payments.

Furthermore, juries understand that when criminal coconspirators testify, what you get is a criminal for a witness. Gotti went to prison on the testimony of admitted thieves and murderers, for example.
 
And it was not. It was a reimbursement for a payoff. This is well demonstrated by the evidence.

I really can't make you understand basic facts of the topic.
Michael Cohen did the NDA without direct knowledge of Trump out of the money that Trump paid Cohen to represent him. We know that as a fact from testimony given at the trial by the prosecution's own witnesses. None of that matters however because an NDA isn't in any way shape or form illegal! You can't get any more "basic" than that!

Gotti went to prison because he committed crimes! An NDA isn't a crime! Duh?

That's Trump's obviously false claim. In response, the prosecution buried Trump in evidence showing a pattern of this behavior, including audio recordings.

I don’t know where you are getting your news, but it is not based in reality.
 
There was only ONE audio recording with Trump. ONE.

That call was surreptitiously recorded by Cohen. It was a short call that was interrupted as Cohen took another call on another phone.

That call had nothing to do with Daniels- it was about paying AMI for the boxes of unpublished stories about Trump, and reimbursing the NDA for McDougal.

That was the call where Cohen talked about financing, and Trump said just pay cash. Cohen said "no, no, no, I got this."

This is the transcript of that call.

That was from Cohen's testimony. You obviously haven't listened to this trial.

David Pecker led it off describing a meeting with Trump where the catch and kill plan was formed.

And it goes on from there. Audio recordings backing up all the testimony. Want to know the sad truth?

If Trump had paid out of his personal funds, then there wouldn’t be any grounds for prosecution. Instead Trump paid from corporate funds opening the door to falsifying business records, which is illegal.

The payments were not from a business account. The first two checks were from the Trust, and the remaining nine were from Trump's personal checking account.

I love how you on the left trot out "catch and kill" like it's some nefarious CIA plot involving assassins! That's no more illegal than an NDA is. You're paying someone not to publish bad stories about you.

What business record was falsified? The payment to Cohen was put down as legal expenses. Money that was paid to Cohen for a number of different jobs he did for Trump. Was that false?
