Hush Money or Whatever One Wishes to Call This Lawfare Thing Happening in NYC: Second Day of Michael Cohen’s Testimony…

Cohen is confronted with his own foul-mouthed attacks

Jurors are showing no signs of blushing at Blanche’s series of direct and even profane questions using Cohen’s own words.

The lawyer is establishing a record of Cohen speaking about the case despite the judge’s admonitions.

‘You referred to President Trump as a dictator douchebag, didn’t you?’ he said.

‘Sounds like something I said,’ was Cohen’s response.‘You referred to President Trump when he left the courtroom,’ saying he ‘goes right into that little cage, which is where he belongs in a f****** cage like an animal,’ was Blanche’s next question.

Judge Merchan called Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche to the bench after proceedings wrapped for the day for a ‘sidebar.’

He reportedly asked Blanche: ‘Why are you making this about yourself?’

The judge referred to the first question he asked of Cohen.’

‘You know who I am, don’t you?’ Blanche had told Cohen, who agreed he did.

‘You went on TikTok and called me a crying little shit didn’t you?’ Sounds like something I would say,’ Cohen responded.

But the judge wasn’t amused, despite Blanche insisting it shows Cohen’s bias.

‘It doesn’t matter if he has bias towards you; it doesn’t matter,” Merchan stated according to a transcript. ‘The issue is whether he has bias towards the defendant.’

Former U.S. Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo told DailyMail.com that Cohen’s testimony today ‘did not add anything new to what is already known.’

‘That means that the whole trial will turn on the question of Cohen’s credibility, which was already in shambles before he ever took the stand thanks to his convictions for perjury,’ he continued.

‘But Trump’s attorneys still must do their best to destroy whatever credibility Cohen has left without appearing abusive and generating sympathy for the witness.’
