Judge: Trump persecutor Michael Cohen committed perjury

[marvin martian]

Bragg's and James' case is falling apart, rapidly.

LOL

"It gives rise to two possibilities: one, Cohen committed perjury when he pleaded guilty," the judge wrote. “Or, two, Cohen committed perjury in his October 2023 testimony."



Former President Donald Trump scored an unexpected victory ahead of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's trial against him when a federal judge denied Michael Cohen's bid to end his supervised release early on the grounds that the former Trump attorney may have committed perjury.

Cohen on Wednesday asked the court to lift his supervised release because he testified in New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James' civil fraud case against Trump, which resulted in a $454 million judgment against the former president. Cohen is expected to be Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's star witness in his criminal case against Trump over the former president's alleged involvement in hush-money payments.

Cohen, who has tried three times before to lift the supervision set to end in November, told the judge that there has been a "substantial change in circumstances" since he testified against Trump in October 2023.

The shitlibs rely on their own - pathological liars - for support.

It's almost as if the entire concocted debacle is the creation of authoritarian scumbags weaponizing politics against their (heavily favored to win) opponent.

Michael Cohen was back in court this week and it did not go well. The former fixer for Donald Trump was in court seeking a reduction in his federal sentence and to answer for his use of Google’s AI chatbot to submit arguments with fake case authority. However, things went off the rails when his counsel cited his prior testimony as evidence of his rehabilitation.
U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman called the argument “perverse” and noted that Cohen is clearly a serial perjurer and cited the need for continued “deterrence.” That is hardly a promising review before Cohen appears as the star witness for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in the prosecution of former president Donald Trump.
If lying were an art form, former Trump fixer Michael Cohen would be its Rembrandt.
Throughout his career, the disbarred lawyer has found powerful clients who valued his reputation for supporting any side that offered the biggest payback.
For full disclosure, I have been a critic of Cohen for years, including columns when he was still representing Trump.
Cohen has been repeatedly accused of perjury.
~Snip~
No one looks to Michael Cohen for the truth. They look to him to say what needs to be said to rationalize a result. What is most perverse about Michael Cohen is the continued perverse need for Michael Cohen.
Commentary:
It's disgusting there is no penalty for perjury as long as you are either a Democrat, Neo-Marxist Leftist or saying what they want you to say.

Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan To Allow Suborning of Perjury

In the Manhattan DS trial (on bogus charges) Alvin Bragg seeks to call Michael Cohen as his key witness. Trump's attorneys have objected in a pre-trial filing, rightfully pointing out that Cohen is a convicted liar and perjurer. Calling a known and convicted liar is tantamount to suborning...

That was settled in court and did most of his time.

What's the beef?

Um when a star witness against a defendant has been accused of perjury by a judge, that ain't good, bro.
