I admittedly have not followed much of the ongoing show trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City for supposedly paying hush money to former adult film performer Stormy Daniels precisely because it's a show trial. If I want to see a serious analysis of fiction, I just read TV Tropes.
Still, it does make me happy knowing the "star witness" Michael Cohen, Trump's former "fixer," just keeps digging the prosecution's grave further and further down till they hit bedrock and probably resurface in China.
As our indispensable Matt Margolis wrote earlier today, Cohen's latest entry of his foot into his mouth was admitting to all but stealing from the Trump Organization, paying a tech company called Red Finch $20,000 out of an expected $50,000 and pocketing the rest for himself.
Apparently, he was shorted out $100,000 of his normal holiday compensation of $150,000, so this was just his way of trying to "rebalance the bonus he thought he deserved," as Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC justified it.
Yes, really.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk posted the clip to X, which he called "unbelievable."
Unbelievable! MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell apparently has such a severe case of TDS that he defends Michael Cohen stealing from the Trump Org:

Lawlessness is what these people crave!
Bernie Madoff was only trying to rebalance the world, from how he was treated growing up. (If you read about him, it's true.)
He is a thief and liar. It is NOT okay that he committed crimes against Trump. Cohen’s choices should be held against him.
I’m going to steal O’Donnell’s car to rebalance the news I think I deserved.
O’Donnell has a terminal case of TDS.
RE: He is a thief and liar.
Ahhh, but will the jury rationalize and say, his theft and his testimony are two different matters? This is Manhattan ( 90% Democrat ).
It must be okay then to withhold money from the government because you are only trying to rebalance the taxes you thought you deserved./s
Good thing he didn't get Jelly of the Month Club. The half year version because the whole year is too yuge for him.
I'd like to see Lawrence O'Donnell embezzle from NBC because he "deserves it". He'd be slapped in cuffs so fast your head would swim. He'd spend the next few years as the cell block bitch with the pretty mouth.
Sounds like a criminal’s rationalization tactic.
For example, shoplifters sometimes say they steal because they are ‘balancing’ the corporate greed/low wages of the companies making and selling clothing.
Like Reparations!
Except for white scumbag shyster lawyers!
Cool so does this mean anyone who feels their employer isn’t paying them enough can just steal the money
Agree. MSNBC is full of lefty whacko’s. I recall taking a journalism class at Nebraska. That class had a number of well-known journalist’s sons and daughters in it.
Larry is more unhinged than Mourning Joe
150k for a small fish like Cohen? Multiply that through the Trump organization. Trump is a generous boss. What a nice guy.
This type of lawlessness is what today’s Leftnick Marxist pay homage to. We should be minful that socialism is not the benevolent utopia that Democrats and academics claim it is. Democratic socialism is a system where godlessness, heartlessness and evil reigns supreme. As history has repeatedly shown, tyranny, oppression, death and destruction are the end products of democratic socialism, regardless of whether it’s called democratic socialism or communism by its promoters. In reality, they are one and the same and Lawrence O’Donnell is the useful Marxist demon he prides himself to be.
I have problems with my keyboard not printing out letters and other irritating stuff. My post #18 has such problems.
NBC should immediately investigate this dude.
