Michael Cohen cashing in on the Trump trial with TikTok livestreams could be a problem: Experts
NY Post ^ | 04/30/224 | Isabel Keane

Michael Cohen, the once loyal lawyer of former President Donald Trump, had been cashing in on the ex-president’s hush money trial by discussing the case on nightly TikTok livestreams — something legal experts warn may spoil his credibility as a key witness.

Ahead of taking the witness stand, Cohen has earned money through donations made by viewers of his nightly live streams, during which he has discussed Trump, the ongoing trial, and the testimony, according to hours of streams viewed by ABC News.

“Trump 2024?” Cohen said during a live stream last Tuesday. “More like Trump 20-40 years.”

While Cohen’s actions don’t go against any court order, experts told ABC it would likely hurt his credibility as an essential witness in the case.

“I’d be furious,” said ABC News contributor and former Georgia prosecutor Chris Timmons. “As a prosecutor, the last thing you want your witness to do is to be talking about the case in a forum other than the courtroom.”

Isabel Keane: "...something legal experts warn may spoil his credibility as a key witness."

This country is so far gone that some idgit "journalist" is clutching the pearls over a convicted perjurer "spoiling" his "credibility".

America can jam its red, white and blue rag up its third-world banana republic keester.

But still no attack on the Commie Democrat Party tool and Columbian cartel stooge Juan Merchan from you, eh, joes?

Fling - you'll note that this joesbucks guy is a FR Democrat Party operative.

Never a bad word for people like Fatti, Lucrezia or Mikey the Perjurer...

Cashing in, to me in this case would be getting dollars through the court system. They’ve already got their media notoriety.

I’d say he’s in better shape than most juror wise. He’s got 5ish professionals including 2 attorneys who should be able to discern good evidence vs poor. I’ve always been told if you’re innocent you want professionals on your jury. If you’re guilty you want jurors who can be manipulated and impressed by your attorney with song, dance and razzle dazzle.

Remember, all you need is one juror.

I’ve said Fanni was foolish for her sexcapades. The others are junk in your view because they have the audacity to prosecute and preside over a Trump trial.

My guess is if Vohen hadn’t turned on Trump you be singing his praises as a great and honorable barrister.

Attack away. Going through your posting history, a significant amount of your replies are trolling and attacking people.

The usual Democrat Party operative lies. I'm trolling trolls [like you, FR's premier Democrat Party troll] and attacking trolls.

Remember what happened last time you "engaged", Tommy.

You ended up shooting your mouth off about Trump, and caught the eye of the Boss.

You're doing a stealth attack on Trump here, too - by defending a perjurer like Michael "Vohen" and defending trash like Fatti "The Georgia Grifter" Willis and Lucrezia "BLM GirlBoss" Jimmy.

I am an attorney and would normally agree with you about the fact that there are two attorneys on the jury. But then remember that Bragg is an attorney. The judge is an attorney. The Attorney General who got a massive verdict against Trump for a victimless “fraud” is an attorney. Biden is an attorney. Garland is an attorney. Jack Smith is an attorney. James Comey is an attorney. Hillary Clinton is an attorney. Our justice system is highly politicized and I think it may take the Supreme Court to declare Justice, which could be many years down the road.

Well I hope to God the prosecution, the judge and the defense are attorneys. And well educated and seasoned.

I stand by my remarks. And I understand to a degree your position on how political our society is today. But at the end of the day, if I’m innocent, I want well educated people deciding my fate based on what was presented in court. If the jury is deadlocked, my money is on one of those attorneys or other professionals doing it.

I don’t think any jury, even if they were all businessmen and developers would be trusted by FR. There would be skepticism if their last names were all Trump. But the more guilty I am, the more I want a Johnny Cochran as an attorney and a jury box full of less than well educated people.

I really believe that if the evidence is truly weak, and not the FR no evidence is strong enough*, one or more well educated people will see that and deadlock the jury or even lead others to an innocent verdict.

* Remember, a number of folks here bought the Cohen was doing Stormy story that ultimately wasn’t true.

Trolling a troll is still trolling. If it’s stealth, then it’s here for all to see. Thats far from stealth. Why not let me report and the reader decide?

“Donald Trump just got another $1.8 billion worth of Trump Media stock”

I hope you’re right. As you say you only need one sane person. I suspect they won’t find twelve sane people on this jury though. A hung jury is probably the best he can hope for.

I recently served on a jury and saw exactly what I wrote happen. A well educated juror held out and walked other jurors through the stregnth and weaknesses of the evidence. The person swayed several people in the jury room to their reasoning.

Just noticed that you deleted your Trump-bashing tagline, joes. LOL!

I wouldn't have a problem with you if you put in a "joesbucks is NeverTrump and NeverMAGA" disclaimer in your new tagline.

Of course, that would defeat your purpose, wouldn't it?

Note how the NeverTrumper is trying to subtly persuade you in post #37 that this illegitimate trial is on the up-and-up.

"There's always a chance that the rigged trial could go Trump's way!"

And then Lucy pulls the football out from in front of Charlie Brown, once again.

You gotta admit that NeverTrumper/NeverMAGA joesbucks is one smooth customer...
