Soros' Star Witness Michael Cohen Is Forced to Admit He Stole Tens of Thousands of Dollars from Trump, Was Never Charged
Update: CNN Admits "This Is Significant"

There may be some doubts about this wormy pussy's credibility.

Jonathan Turley is in the courtroom.

Blanche just got Cohen to say that he handed over $20,000 in a paper bag to close end a financial dispute. There is something quintessentially Cohen about the scene...

...Weisselberg later paid Cohen for $60,000 rather than $20,000. Cohen admits that he stole from the Trump organization. He also told federal prosecutors about stealing the money but was never charged with larceny...

...These are hits below the waterline for Cohen but also the prosecutors. They had a man admitting to a major larceny but never charged Cohen. That made Cohen not only their man, but allowed him to keep stolen money...

...Blanche is now going in for the kill. He was that he lied to Weisselberg and "to this day you have never fixed that" and disclosed this to the District Attorney...

Turley's next part deals with payments to Weisselburg, which I don't understand the significance of, so I'll omit it.

Cohen then admitted he sold his influence to various corporate clients:

...Cohen admits that he made $4 million from four clients including AT&T. Blanche asked what work he actually did for AT&T and he said "consulting." Cohen said that he had only 20 communications with AT&T and was paid $600,000...

...Novartis hired him as a consultant and was paid $1.5 million for just six communications. I previously wrote about these retainers as Cohen sought to cash in on his relationship with Trump...

...It was classic Cohen and I criticized the contract as access and influence peddling with these companies...

Trump's lawyer then asked Cohen about all the times he'd previously denied that Trump knew anything about these payments.

...Cohen admits that he told reporters (on the record) that Trump did not know about the payments to Stormy Daniels. He told BBC for example that "there was no way" that he would have told Trump. Cohen recorded the interview with the BBC reporter without her knowledge...

...Up until April 2018 that Cohen continued to tell reporters, friends, and family that Trump had no knowledge or involvement in the payments. Then on April 9th the FBI raided his home...

Update: "His journey."

...Before the break, Cohen was forced to lay out how his income is now based almost entirely on attacking Trump ...

...Cohen admits that he worked for three months to pitch his reality show "The Fixer." He also said that he is considering a third book. Cohen admits that he is thinking of running for Congress and that he has great name recognition...

...Cohen is fighting question to admit that his name recognition is due to attacking Trump. He insists it is because of "his journey." He then admitted that the "journey" was daily attacks on Trump. Cohen makes it sound like he was Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton on a storied journey

...Blanche is basically portraying Cohen as still a grifter who has cashed in on his attacking his former [client]...
