‘Mr. Fix-It’ Michael Cohen bombs on the stand, offers no new evidence to convict Trump
NY Post ^ | Published May 13, 2024, 5:56 p.m. ET | Jonathan Turley

Michael Cohen apparently wants a reality show but, if his testimony Monday is any indication, reality is about to sink in for not just Cohen but the prosecutors and the court.

In stoking interest in his own appearance, the former Trump counsel promised the public that they should be “prepared to be surprised.”

Thus far, however, Cohen has offered nothing new and, more importantly, nothing to make the case for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

I was completely shocked when they kiiled them off. I need to rewatch them.

Other than discussing Cohen’s recording of Trump, this could have been written Sunday.

Why does Mr Turley have this crazy idea that this trial has anything to do with evidence?

I heard NOTHING implicating DJT in any sort of illicit shenanigans.
Time for these charlatan jurists to be visited by a whole host of ‘real’ people and held to account for their sophistry.

True.
Came back in the dream sequence of the Texas line dance in the country bar. Not really alive, though.

Synopsis:
The saucy dream sequence that Mulder has in Texas when he thinks he’s on “magic mushrooms” moves from the groovy line-dancing of Billy Ray Cyrus’s “Achy Breaky Heart” to a re-enactment of Trace Adkins’s video for “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.”

Lone Gunmen are in the table scene. Oddly, they took out the female dancer being hoisted over Mulder’s back and swirled around him after he beckons her to come over from the crowd.

The trial is just a show, but it’s just a stage with players that are pretending that, a jury found Trump guilty of something. IOW, Trump was judged to be guilty, via a trial, even if the proof was not there.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

The NYC way.

Same as judge engoron’s court

Turley says he offered no evidence, but I’m not sure evidence matters much in this kangaroo court.

IIRC, there’s two attorneys on the jury and an engineer. The attorneys must be going nuts with Cohen recording Trump AT A CRITICAL POINT which is being heard in court. And...more likely than not...they know when Cohen is lying....that is a skill that many attorneys develop.

I think the directed verdict is not really throwing the case out but instead adjudicating the case to an acquittal. if that is how the judge would rule. You don’t really want a mistrial as it could just start all over. An acquittal eliminates the case and Trump cannot be tried again. mistrial can provide for another trial on the same charges.

I’m sure they got it covered. They wanted to be on this jury. It’s pretty hard to get out of jury duty in NYS. It wasn’t always.

My impression is that when Cohen talked with Trump, he only told him half the story...no matter the subject...

Cohen was No. 1 in Cohen's book...not Trump.

Biden and the democrat party have lost CNN on this.
Trump lawyer just has to ask Cohen: You lie to... and to... and to...etc etc.

CNN analyst: “I’ve never seen a witness who’s lied to Congress, who’s lied to court, who’s lied to the IRS, who’s lied to the Southern District of New York, who lied to his banker. The entire prosecution witness team has been lied to by Michael Cohen.”
