Cohen: I’ve Been Asked to Be Available to NYC Grand Jury ‘As a Rebuttal Witness’
Breitbart ^ | 03/19/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 03/19/2023 11:50:58 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Michael Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” that prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office convening a grand jury as part of a criminal probe into a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels have asked him to come in Monday “as rebuttal witness.”

Cohen said, “This morning, I did receive a whole slew of phone calls from journalists, asking me if I’m going to be back to the DA’s office tomorrow as a rebuttal witness to whoever it is that they’re bringing there tomorrow. Whether it’s before the grand jury or it’s just to meet with them for an interview, I’m not sure, but yes, I was asked to make myself available and to be at the DA’s office tomorrow as a rebuttal witness.”

It will, but that’s not how it will be reported.

This clown was never Trump’s personal lawyer. He was a low level bagman who paid off scuzzy
ankle biting blackmailers like horse face Daniels.

How does an attorney testify about his client relationship without violating his profession al responsibility to his client’s privileged communications?

One of these days, someone is going to betray Mike Cohen they way he betrayed Trump. That is my hope, that he will then be snakebit by that same kind of viper.

A grand jury proceeding is ex parte, there is no cross examination, no discovery. The prosecution more or less gets to chose what and whom it presents. That they need a "rebuttal" witness seems to me - and I am no lawyer - to indicate an exceptionally week case.

By the way, Bragg's predecessor had hired two very partisan high priced white shoe lawyers to investigate Trump, though I forget what for. One of Bragg's first acts as DA was to fire them. He seems to be using the B- and C-team public servants to pursue liberals white whale.

You know Bragg is crooked if his case depends on a convicted liar.

A rebuttal witness? The Grand Jury questioning of witnesses is controlled by the Prosecutors, it is not an adversarial process.

The only explanation would be if Trump is going to testify, and the DA wants to have Cohen on hand to tell more lies in order to frame Trump. If not Trump it could be someone friendly to Trump that Cohen will rebut, but why would the DA call such a person? The prosecution is under no obligation to present both sides of the story, they just have to present enough evidence to get an indictment.

They want a criminal who has been banned from practicing law anymore because he’s a liar and a crook? He’s going to make a perfect “witness” to lie to a bunch of New Yawk bozos on a “grand jury”. ROTFL!

I call BS. Rebuttal witness? To rebut what? A grand jury only has witnesses and testimony that the PROSECUTOR wants. There is no defense attorney and no defense witnesses.🤦🏼🤦🏼

Cohen was disbarred and sent to prison. He did about 2 years and sent home because of Covid. How is he believable??

The clown sees himself as being pretty important. He reminds me of a Caucasian Juicy Fruit Smellit.
