Former Fixer, Michael Cohen, will take the stand today in the 2016 Election Interference/Hush money trial today. Can we expect TSF to behave himself? I say NO WAY! Fireworks will be in the Courtroom much of this week. Get the popcorn ready, folksMichael Cohens expected testimony against his onetime boss Donald Trump in the latters hush money trial this week will be extraordinarily challenging for the former president, Trumps niece Mary Trump predicted at the weekend.
Cohen, a former right-hand-man to Trump, is expected to testify about his role in the scheme, which saw him sentenced to prison. Trump is accused of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. It sought to silence her about an earlier alleged sexual encounter between the duo. Trump denies the claims.

(6,527 posts)There is really nothing new at this trial. Just that the people involved are testifying to it all in one place. Which is powerful. It's different hearing things from the person directly rather than gossips.

I guess we will have to see what happens this week as Michael Cohen takes the stand. He has been consistent in his testimonies since his appearance before Congress in 2019 before going to prison.

ProudMNDemocrat
(17,196 posts)Being a former Lawyer himself, he knows the ins and outs of cross examinations.
The tape of TSF on AFI being asked about the hush money payments where he said "NO" "Ask my lawyer, Michael Cohen. He knows all about that."
My question is...HOW did TSF know about what Michael Cohen was up to about that if he did NOT know? Sounds like an admission of knowledge to me.

(48,242 posts)He's been waiting for this moment for an awfully long time and now he will be able to tell his truth facing his former boss. I'm sure he won't waste this moment.
Cohen may have lied before, but when he tells the truth, he is very convincing.

I considered Donald a friend. But, I guess when he saw no further use for me. Donald didn't consider me a friend or even a good employee despite me doing everything Donald asked me to do.

(1,356 posts)What if he decides to throw in with Trump again and blow the whole thing up? What if its been a long con all along?
I just woke up here on the west coast so the idea may be moot already. And I hope so. But I woke up feeling the dire wolf is at our door and this would work wit that.

(897 posts)To congress, media long ago played recording cohen made with trump speaking w him on how to make the pmt, and trump was U.N. indicted co conspirator number 1 in the case w cohen. NY justice dept did not pursue trump after he lost presidency Nov- Barr certainly pressured NY to drop the case. Meanwhile, Cohen has served his time in jail.
Why would Cohen not cooperate now? Hes publicly been pissed at TFG.

(10,334 posts)At his little rallies. And it explains why he says rude things about sex with his daughter.
"Elsewhere in the interview, Mary Trump said her uncle is incapable of shame or embarrassment and has no problem being seen as somebody who is kind of sleazy and does not treat women well.
In fact, unfortunately, he takes it as a badge of honor, she said."

(27,492 posts)Its great for viewership, but I dont see Cohen going off the rails. Even Donnie knows there too much at stake to lose it publicly.
So he brought Tuberville and Vance to do the dirty work for him today. He needs to keep his hands clean and knows it.
