Wednesday was day two of the testimony of Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney of former President Donald Trump in his business fraud trial in the New York State Supreme Court.
Trump attorney Alina Habba pulled out all the stops when it came to “impeaching” the former president’s disgruntled ex-employee’s credibility before the court.
Cohen, who has been vocal in his criticism of his former boss did not seem to be having an easy time dealing with defense attorney Alina Habba, who had already laid down the law with Cohen on Tuesday about how the trial was going to go.
“Mr. Cohen, here’s how it’s gonna work,” Habba told Cohen in a scolding tone, “You’re not on ‘Mea Culpa,’ she said, which is the name of Cohen’s podcast in which he often spews vicious commentary against the former president. ‘ You’re not on your podcast, and you’re not on CNN,” she said according to CNN.
In her half-hour cross-examination on Tuesday, Habba tore into the disgraced lawyer who spent three years in federal prison, calling him a liar and a perjuror multiple times in her questions. “So you have lied under oath numerous times, Mr. Cohen? … “So you lied?” she persisted in asking, according to Business Insider.
“Did you ever tell your wife that you were committing perjury?” she asked at another point according to Business Insider, leading Cohen to shout “Objection!” in response, forgetting that he was not a lawyer but a witness in the case. In fact, his license to practice law has been revoked.
“No, you don’t get to object,” Habba responded.

So, it the corrupt judge going to put a gag order on the Attorney too?
You go girl.
Makes no difference how good and convincing Trump’s attorney is to the outside observer. This is not a jury trial where he would have fair chance at acquittal. The biased Democrat sleazebag judge who just fined Trump twice for contempt of his gag order is the jury. A finding against Trump is a foregone conclusion. The defense is just marking time until they can win this on appeal after the judge throws the book at Trump
We have a judical committee in congress.
I believe it is lead by that Jim Jordon guy.
Why aren’t lawbreaking judges like this one being impeached?
Because good ol’ jimmy is one of them
Disgraced lawyer who spent three years in federal prison.
And that’s the best witness the inquisition could come up with that would even shame judge Roy Bean.
This is a state court judge.
My bad...
But the question still stands...
Rogue judges still sit on the bench
Why anyone would intentionally live, or do business, in New York and expose themselves to New York legal process is beyond me.
Sorry but Trump really knows how to pick em.
What ever happened to attorney-client privilege? An objection to having Cohen on the stand should have been sustained and the trial should have been over.
I saw Habba a few times back when the F I B raided Mar-A-Lago. She was very impressive.
Beats the hell out of me....
Or commiefornia.,
You get my drift
