NY v. Trump: Michael Cohen admits to stealing from Trump Org in bombshell testimony

Former President Trump's defense team continued their cross examination of ex-lawyer Michael Cohen in the New York v. Trump criminal trial Monday. The trial is nearing its conclusion, with Cohen being the prosecution's final witness. There were no trial proceedings on Friday due to Trump...

I'm still reading through this but I got to the part about there being a question T would take the stand!

omg!

I don't think the defendant should EVER take the stand except in rare cases.

But NOT this one because there is no evidence of a crime...

Cross examination can be brutal

And jurors don't always understand all the details of any given case..

 

[kyzr]

1. The prosecution tried to show that Trump was a micromanager that knew and approved EVERYTHING that happened in his company.

2. That Cohen stole $60,000 proves that Cohen pulled the wool over Trump's eyes. Trump let Cohen and Weissenberg manage the Stormy payments.

3. If Cohen said he had Shiller hand the phone to Trump, why can't the defense call Shiller to the stand and ask him if he handed the phone to Trump??????? If not Cohen only talked about the crank calls.

I don't know. . first time hearing of shiller

I can't watch news all the time.. wish I could

it's a great escape from reality, with no hangover involved

sometimes it's not a great escape, though.. Sometimes it causes depression, but then I just add coffee to my whiskey (coffee is good for depression)

Did Cohen lie/deny what he did? Nope.

Now the judge is attacking the defense witness.

Judge admonishes defense witness for his behavior after prosecution rests in Trump hush money trial

The judge is a diehard Democrat.

So what. The D.A.'s office knew about and prefer charges. P01135809 tried to pass of his $130K payoff to Stormy Daniels as a businsse expense. That is criminal fraud. That is what this whole trial was about.

yep. Cohen managed the Stormy payments, not Trump.

Nobody was attacked. Costello was admonished by the judge for his behaviour in court.

Try to keep up.

 

[Clipper]

Are you out of your mind?

Worst....case.....ever.

Should read as "The D.A.'s office knew about the money taken by Cohen and decided to NOT prefer charges."

 

[kyzr]

Are you out of your mind?

So Trump would knowingly sign checks giving Cohen $60,000? Duh.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No, he did not.

But to show he was in control, he insisted defense call Costello, a stoopid move.

another weird thing about liberals:

They always use apostrophes where they are NOT indicated/called for!

Can you spell

uneducated?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Trump is clearly proven to have engaged in criminal fraud.

I implore you to not go out of control and riot. It will end very poorly for you.

~~~~~~
Cohen did admit to a crime of theft heretofore not mentioned. It's surprising that Cohen was not arrested for Grand Larceny while on the stand.

That honesty of the stand may well sink Trump.
