Cohen: Trump doesn’t understand ‘disparaging somebody is not the way to win a case
The Hill ^ | 10/03/2023 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 10/03/2023 7:36:33 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Michael Cohen, former President Trump’s onetime fixer and former personal attorney, lashed out at the former president’s attempt to discredit him as a witness Monday during the opening day of his New York civil fraud trial.

Cohen argued that “disparaging somebody” is not a viable strategy for winning a legal case.

“This is a guy who doesn’t understand disparaging somebody is not the way to win a case,” Cohen said in an interview Monday night with CNN’s Abby Phillip, referring to Trump. “What you need to do is to bring the evidence, bring the documents in order to clear your name, as opposed to thinking you’re going to clear your name by disparaging somebody else.”

Cohen? Cohen?

Isn’t he that disbarred felon who paid some money to a hooker that Trump never asked him to pay?

Maybe CNN can get their other star lawyer, Michael Avenatti back for his opinion. Oh wait, he is still in prison.

“What you need to do is to bring the evidence, bring the documents in order to clear your name, as opposed to thinking you’re going to clear your name by disparaging somebody else.” ... Sounds right to me.

Trump loved this guy for decades. His personal fixer he’d say.

He’s stating facts about the corrupt judges. Too bad if that has a disparaging effect.

Cohen knows that ridicule and slander is the only way to confront and destroy a tyrant... which is why he hates trump...

in this situation and context... it may be the ONLY AND BEST WAY to win for america.

“Trump loved this guy for decades.”

Without hesitation, my main complaint about Trump is he’s a terrible judge of character.

The people he picks to help are consistently terrible.

Depends on how the “disparaging” is taking place. Trump criticizing DeSantis for his stance on Ukraine is legitimate. His mean name calling and personal attacks are not, and that’s what’s holding him back. Most Freepers will vote for him despite his personality, but there aren’t enough people like us.
