It is being reported that in the case of Donald Trump the defense landed some blows on the testimony of Michael Cohen. What exactly did they do?
Well, this is major. They showed that in a ninety second phone call from eight years ago with Donald Trump or his body guard that what he, Cohen, says the conversation was about might not be correct. Wow. Spectacular. Oh and this the defense asserts shows that Cohen is, or was, a liar. Really?
Let’s consider that Cohen worked for Trump for ten years and his job was to lie for the boss and to cover up things, ie to be a bully. So is he, or was he a liar? Yes. That was his job.
This stunning revelation was what the defense uncovered in hours and hours of cross examination.
Did they mention any of the stuff that this case is really about? No.
The defense is being praised for their strategy of asking Cohen questions out of chronological order, which makes the case confusing and perhaps Cohen as a liar. This after the prosecution went through the same stuff in order.
Like all of the cases against Trump, the evidence is clear. There really is no debate about what happened, what was done. It’s obvious. Is it criminal? Well, if you read the law and you look at the undisputed facts it’s obvious. And there are some who think he’s being hunted. There are members of Congress who have come to New York to do what Trump with his gag order can not do. Attack the judge and his family.
Meanwhile, it has ben reported and shown that Justice Alito had flown a U.S. flag uoside down after the Jan 6th insurrection. This was and is a symbolic gesture to say “Stop the Steal.” What does Alito say? “Oh my wife did it.” and it was about a neighborly dispute. What BS. But this is what you get when these people are confronted. “My dog ate my homework.”
or “Gosh, I didn’t think I had to report those 33 luxury vacations.”
or “They are out to get me.” Yeah, they are. You broke the law. Not once, not twice but ninety times. And you aren’t even charged with the really bad stuff.

This all gives me a migraine. Can’t even watch or listen to the news so thank you for the updates. It makes me mad that even NPR spends more time on Trump than anything.
