This guy Costello is VERY VERY CREDIBLE..saw him last night with Hannity, talked about how Cohen wanted to kill himself and did not want to spend one second in jail so Costello told him if he had anything on Trump it would benefit him and Cohen said the ONLY thing he knew about was money missing from the Trump Organization which Trump did NOT know about..what I dont understand is this, there were numerous women in 2016 who came out of the woodwork accusing Trump of sleeping with them, how come Cohen only paid this chick, if he wanted to help Trump, or protect him, how come he didnt pay them all..why was Stormy so special while the others were not

Oops, this is one of those "Were you lying then or are you lying now squeezes that defense lawyers love."

I listened to the John Solomon show yesterday and heard this guy.

Not only very credible, it reinforced all I have ever known or heard about Cohen.

Total, absolute, self-centered sleazeball who would sell his children into slavery for a corn muffin.

another was paid...McDougal??

IIRC, this wasn't Cohen's bag and he was working with another attorney who drew up the non disclosure agreement. Sounds like Trump wasn't involved at all...at least as to how any funding was made and Cohen got paid....but not from campaign funds.

Too bad Cohen didnt jump off a hotel balcony would have saved us a lot of hassle

Cohen and Bragg have a major problem now. Bragg has to somehow attenuate Cohen's prior statement, or he has to consider indicting Cohen for lying to a grand jury. What a hoot! And, if Bragg has to testify before a Congressional hearing, BREAK OUT THE POPCORN!

I posted in a prior thread that maybe the name Mike Nifong might be familiar to Bragg. If not, he needs to research the matter.

“talked about how Cohen wanted to kill himself “

Weenie. Why didn’t he just DO IT already? Talk is cheap.

The ‘others’ were basically nobodies.

Stormy was a half a somebody...........

Bragg needs to be Nifonged, as does the demo-clown persecuter in GA.

My understanding is that Bragg has said he will NOT testify before Congress. Can congress force him?
How can Democrats refuse to testify? What about subpoena power?

The trouble with Trump is he will trust someone until they prove to be untrustworthy. That didn’t work out well with his picks while in the Whitehouse. Maybe this time around his spidey senses will be working a lot better.

I belief Costello said in his press conference that he had email where Cohen admitted that he did this one his own. With his own money and Trump didn’t know about it.

"If they're smart, they will try to work around Cohen

Work around Cohen? Cohen is The Whole case! He did the deal on his own without Trumps knowledge! I just don’t know what to say, documentation of Cohen explaining he did the payoff of his own accord, plus, PLUS he’s a convicted Liar.

I think Trump has grounds to sue the NYC DA!

Popcorn anyone? I just love it when Trump plays chess while his enemies play tiddlywinks.....
