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.

Absent a sudden epiphany in his final testimony on Tuesday, Merchan should rule in favor of a directed verdict — that is, throwing the case out before it goes to a jury. If he instead sends this farcical case to the jury, it is Merchan, not Cohen, who may have a better claim to a reality show as the ultimate “Fix It Man.”

The Left and the Uniparty have been going after Trump continuously for nine+ years. It’s sickening and disgusting. National vote fraud is baked into mail-in balloting, so I don’t think a landslide or red wave is in the offing. Still the hope that enough honest votes will give the presidency back to PDJT.

I have one thing to say to Bragg and Cohen

Won't matter. Cohen could talk about the moon landings or about the building of the great wall of China, and the judge and jury will still think that it's proof of Trump's corruption.
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.

This would be noteworthy if the jury actually cared about evidence.

This would be noteworthy if the jury actually cared about evidence.This reminds me of the old NY mafia trials when the jury had been bought off by the mob in one way or another.

I used to think this guy Bruce Cutler was a fabulous trial lawyer. How else would he be getting John Gotti acquitted?

Never say never. All it takes is 1 person for a hung jury. And them having NOTHING will help the appeal if necessary

What is that from, please?
I realize it’s a reference to the death of Spock and later the great and irreplaceable Lone Gunmen death scene. Not in their own series, but in the X-Files episode Jump the Shark. They purposely sealed the doors with the infected killer and themselves inside in order to sacrifice their lives to stop the pandemic from killing millions.
If impatient, start at 3:40

I will never forgive the stupid American people for shunning the Lone Gunmen so it was canceled. Idiots.
Example: In the show Pilot, aired on March 4, 2001, there is a government plot to remotely take over the controls and crash passenger filled jumbo jet into the World Trade Center and make it appear as a terrorist plot in order to justify more defense spending. Pilot reads off the gallons of fuel and the fact that they aren’t carrying explosives.
This was aired just before the real September 11th. That counts to me as truly astounding.

There are lawyers on that jury. If they care at all about their reputations...
Oh, that's right, they're lawyers.

Pray for the character and conscience of each juror.

Yeah, that’s my take on it. The State of New York wants Trump behind bars (or, at least, to find him guilty of a “felony”) and won’t take no for an answer.

I salute you.
True story, I never watched TV for decades and totally missed that and others. Catching up now.
