The prosecution’s 'star witness' Michael Cohen is back on the stand for a third day, as the court waits with bated breath to find out whether former President Donald Trump could testify himself.
He finally admitted under oath that he stole $60,000 from the Trump Organization by ‘grossing up’ payments for tax. Donald Trump was seen shaking his head as his former ‘fixer’ made the revelation, confirming he’s a common thief.
Cohen also dramatically revealed that he dealt with an apparent photo ‘extortion’ blackmail attempt involving the ex-president’s daughter, Tiffany.
Cohen admits he was handling Tiffany Trump ‘blackmail’ Blanche continues to press Cohen on other matters he was dealing with that coincided with the Stormy Daniels payoff.
This includes an apparent ‘extortion’ attempt involving the president’s daughter, Tiffany.
‘You agree with me, right, that you had a lot going on both in your personal life and with President Trump in those first two weeks of October?’ Blanche asked. Cohen agreed.
‘You recall on October 25th, you recall her communicating with you concerns about somebody trying to blackmail her?’ Blanche asked.
‘Yes sir,’ he replied. He handled it immediately, and spoke to David Pecker, Tiffany Trump, and others.

Also there's a phone call...they say he's talking about Stormy...but I believe it's about McDougal.
So, it’s entirely possible Donald Trump paid for things he didn’t know he was paying for or overpaid for things he did know about?
My point was/is, of course, given the nature of Trump’s business empire it’s pretty much impossible to say with 100% accuracy he was aware of every penny spent.
What a sick farce this is. It’s been orchestrated by lowlifes who have no decency or morals. Such hypocrites too if you think back about Gary Hart or Bill Clinton.
When it comes to General Services and Administrative (GS&A) expenses, it's a bit more soft in the accounting (timesheets, temp help, consultants, service providers, etc.).

They just kicked the jury out.
Interesting take—maybe some truth to it—interested to see what comes out.
Real POTUS Trump speaking now. Trial is a witch hunt.
I guess we’ll see what happens……
I love it when a democrat plan comes together.
It will wind up in total failure.
Absolutely, and, even if they don’t want to, they will. If I was on that jury and caused it to hang, I’d be fired by the time I made it home, if I wasn’t lynched first....
What a sleazy lawyer! I’m surprised Trump had such a lawyer, but I guess he started learning he wasn’t so hot after all and cut his bonus.
So, Cohen has a ton of animosity towards Trump. Hmm. How much does he think they owe him?
By cooking the organization's books, just like so many other criminals that have helped themselves to money from the companies, agencies, and organizations they have worked for.
I remember a kid from yeshiva who was freakishly strong. His rebbe tried to pinch him as corporal punishment, but couldn’t find any loose skin to pinch. Then he tried to twist his wrist, but ended up twisting his own in the effort. I didn’t witness this, but the kid was a legend, so I heard of it. His whole family was abnormally strong.
Trump didn’t plant Cohen as a poison pill to help him. His enemies just naturally end up twisting themselves in knots trying to hurt him.
Just after I posted on my way out I heard that they wanted a video of President Trump next to Schiller in a lame effort to show they were usually in close proximity, and so the infamously short phone call could have been made to the both of them. Sorry to post a dead end ....
Bingo!
Love it.
There are no dead ends... only tangled webs woven to deceive...

I think Trump ought to call up Mike Myers from the Shrek movies and get him to write up some lines like he did during that 3rd movie where Shrek lambasted Charming during the play. This whole court trial reminds me of that and it’s worth gold in humor if Trump can corral it!
