It is not alleged in stealing when the guy who stole the money confessed under oath that he stole the money.
He skimmed ! no one’s shock he also buried the payment in amongst other legal fees hence why the check was made out to $400k not $130k . As only a crooked lawyer would do. Cohen is the one that claimed it was legal fees then stole from the other bills he submitted. This is too easy
CHUMPS ON TRIAL, CHUMP20TOLIFE 🇺🇸

@@drumtwo4seven DEMOCRAT PARTY IS ON TRIAL!! And it is CRUSHING ITSELF!!! TRUMP IS UNSTOPPABLE!
how is it 'alleged' when he was directly asked if he stole from the Trump Organisation and replied 'Yes Sir'?....your conscious bias is nauseating...
ABC is a Gaslighting Propaganda site that protects the Democrat Party. George Stephanopolous runs that sh*t show
This case is over, but a lot of us knew this last year
It was over at jury selection. Cuffs and real jail and complete chaos ensue.
The 20K - your master knew and approved the purpose of the payment, even if he was duped on the amount. Doesn’t change the fact that he knew and approved the purpose of the payment.
@@brynneholt1990 that is not what Cohen was quoted as saying previously. Try to keep up
@@brynneholt1990 so, how do you get duped knowingly?😂
Indeed let us get to the common sense verdict of guilty.
Come on y’all lies are lies and this guy has been caught in the stand lying
Having Cohen testify for the prosecution is better than any witness Trumps defense team could have ever put on the stand to help him.😂👍🏼
Anti American much? This is horrible for our justice system and the way people are brought to trial for NOTHING.
Democrats are a gang, not a party.
Scary, America beware.
Is that why they just lost, and orange has been acquitted?

@@codan1 you know zip. Orange buffoon paid a paid a porn star, covered it up by recording it as legal expenses - he’s a cheat, liar and as thick as a brick. And you will vote for him? It beggars belief
Remember the audio recording with Thump's voice on it asking why not cash? Did yall miss that one? Of course he knew.
That call Cohen said he was "handling it". Didn't sound Ike Trump was directing what went on. Plus that's not the crime.
@@Vanessa-pe2xsand your legal education is...🤔🙄
@randominternetuser2888 No legal education needed. In the recording Trump was asking questions, "What financing? Why not cash?" Trump was relying on his lawyer. Cohen said "Ill handle it". Trump is basically being prosecuted for following legal advice of his lawyer.
As an independent voter it's not a big leap to see this case as a political move. Cohen is the definition of Reasonable Doubt. #ThatPoliticalLife
Amen! May the jury fully understand and recognize who is on trial and for what.
For being Trump.
The prosecution cannot even explain what he is on trial for.
What is the charge?

You haven't paid attention!
The crime is fraud. That's illegal in most countries.
One year old troll account 🙄
You’re spot on
You think the prosecution might be having second thoughts about using Cohen as a witness at this point?😄
Why?...His profit making ventures/ opportunities aren't the subject of this criminal trial !
@@rockinghamlarry4722 So you've never heard of the term grand larceny?
Yes & I've heard of exorbitant mark-ups in business transactions..
Oh by the way in this particular case,is Cohen facing Indictment charges or is it the Wailing, Whining, Whinging, Rapist, Fraudster, Treasonous and Traitorous Domestic Head Terrorist & Insurrectionist Trump?

Some very interesting revelations came out of the Costello cross -examination,that wouldn't have pleased,the defence team or your idol....what did you think of those??
The truth will set you free!!
They would of got him if he did lie about it. He's trying to give the persona he is being truthful. A con man hires a crook to be a fixer. Wouldn't you expect that snake to turn around and bite you?

I would
Philosophy: Cohen's guilt doesn't make Trump innocent.

It does show him as a liar and Trump must be telling the truth.
Cohen is not on trial
@@sandratucker4702
“Trump” and telling the truth 😂😂😂😂
Dead right
Who is on trial Trump or Cohen
Cohen's credibility is as a star witness, and being a convicted liar who again lied in court and admitted to falsifying invoices and stealing makes him a a completely unreliable witness
Actually, the corrupt Biden regime is putting themselves on trial. They are showing the world how far they will go to destroy a political candidate/rival. Bidens administration knows they cannot win against Trump on an equal playing field, so they have to use their power to try to destroy him. And everything keeps falling apart, lol.
Idk but Cohen wasn’t much of a ⭐️ witness.
I love how those idiots are lined up showing the jury he is in all fact a mob boss...💙💙💙
What do you call cultists who all dress and act the same? Republicans of course!
The greatest comb over in the history of male pattern baldness.
What does Biden have to do with this?
Raskin ? Biden ? Oh yeah they did hair plugs. Raskin claimed he had cancer to wear a rag on his head while his plugs took root . Both have more hair now than they did in their 40s since your criticizing may as well do them all

You can fool some of the people all of the time is what you admit.
@@TheTruthFollowslikewise.
Do you hear yourself? So, which prison did you come out of?
Trump was too scared to testify
Reporting false facts. Is not acceptable & irresponsible.
Did you forget Trump signed the checks?
And vital information was that the check can come all the way to his desk and if he didn't want to sign it he would write Void across it and it just would never get paid. He had a choice every time a check came to him!
@@alrightyru Why wouldnt he sign a check to his lawyer for legal expenses?
@@jasonkay-H2MOMichael is lucky he got paid!! He didn't pay a lot of lawyers!!!
What did the memo say? Legal expenses
Did he sign a $130k check ? Nope he signed a $400k check ( Michael admitted to skimming off of ). Michael labeled it as attorney fees slid in with other bills . Michael is a cheat, scammer and liar but anyone paying attention and unbiased see what democrats are doing here.
Such a ridiculous analysis on Cohen testimony.
I WOULD (NEVER) WANT ANY PERSON LIKE DONALD TRUMP TO BE A PRESIDENT !!
Why?
We need him desperately.
No more Biden!!
Right but you like a old feebleminded traitor for a president.

Black people need to review, the CENTRAL PARK 5...COMENTS BY TRUMP
Trump never takes responsibility for Anything. He has caused pain for a treasure trove of people. Always the victim. Cry baby.
After the 5 young men were exonerated Trump never apologized. He ran a full page ad saying 🎉they should get the electric chair. In her book Mary Trump PhD in Clinical Psychology chronicles how Donald lied all the time causing pain to others including his family members. He played the victim. Sound familiar?
Black people should also know Donnie and his dad Fred were sued by NY Black tenants for racial discrimination in the 80s. They had to settle out of court because the Trumps knew they would have lost in civil court. Look it up.
Another fun fact: Donnie's granddad participated in a local KKK march way back when the KKK were growing and recruiting all over the US.
@0:30 don't think you can put anything on Trump after Cohen admitted all his wrong doings this morning.
WHAT, 20 grand in a brown paper bag
A lie is a lie no such thing as a white lie and a
Remind me again who he lied for? The cult always leaves out the important part.
Bring Stormy back so she can tell another version of her Trump story. She's only told 5 different ones over the last 10 years.😂
“ A stripper and a felon walk into a bar “ that’s what this is a big fricken BS case how many millions have these lawyer made over this sham . Talk about job security they have a Cash cow in charging Trump.
You just want details of Stormy and Dirty Don's 2 minutes of sex on the record. It's simple. Donnie invited Stormy to dinner but provided zero food. Stormy was given cream of mushroom and a good laugh. Later she was paid to keep quiet about the worst sex of her life.
Good deal lets get to the guilty verdict!
Of course, they are as shameless as Trump.
Michael Cohen’s happiness does not depend on Trump’s approval of anything.
Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah . Michael Cohen`s what ....!?
So the defense accused Cohen of benefitting financially from this case while Trump literally fundraises off the case? Got it.
The Judges daughter is doing the exact same thing so where is the outrage on that?
If you're going to say president you should be talking about Joe Biden
C'mon
I am amazed that Donald Trump is the only one to make money off this case, How much money has Trump raised off the trial?
Yeah Trump hires " the best people " LMAO.
Yeah, because no businessman has ever hired a theif before.
@thepimpernel6971 When you're a billionaire who relates more to the average man, you're bound to get some gold diggers and social climbers sucking up to you.

@@carloscoleman5634seems like all he hires are thieves and criminals lol literally every one of his past advisors and attorneys have been sent to prison for perjury…lying to cover trumps arse
Explains Pence. 😂
He wasn't lying about Vonshitzinpants.
You're another sicko bluey
After the cross, he will tell the prosecution he was lying when he said he stole $30,000.
lol. 'There are good lies, there are bad lies...'
That's not what you want your jury to be deliberating😆
You have to be kidding yourself if you thought Trump wasn’t in on it,
Trump looks like Mister Magoo in this sketch. No matter, he will always be "Don the Con" to me 👎
The Cohen redirect, Q: Did DJT ever tell you to stop the "catch and kill" program developed and furthered in multiple in person meetings that included you, David Pecker and DJT? His NO would be a mic drop moment!
The problem with your mic drop moment is that catch and kill is not illegal.
@@carloscoleman5634 Correct, it's only supporting evidence of the crime under indictment.
@@nmappraiser9926 - What crime is under indictment?
@@carloscoleman5634Oh yes it is when it was over the allowable contribution limit and then deliberately misrepresented as legal expenses instead of reporting the payments to the FEC as required by law. FYI: The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, Title 52, United States Code, Section 30101, et seq., (the “Election Act”), regulates the influence of money on politics. At all relevant times, the Election Act set certain limitations and prohibitions, among them: (a) individual contributions to any presidential candidate, including expenditures coordinated with a candidate or his political committee, were limited to $2,700 per election, and presidential candidates and their committees were prohibited from accepting contributions from individuals in excess of this limit; and (b) Corporations were prohibited from making contributions directly to presidential candidates, including expenditures coordinated with candidates or their committees, and candidates were prohibited from accepting corporate contributions.
@@sknauft Fraud.
Just stop. Nothing Cohen said absolves Trump of his criminality.
You're delusional a stripper ghost buster and a convicted lying thief for witnesses.
There is a strong evidence in favour of the indictment. The discussion should be on whether the defence has been able to create a hole in the evidence. Kohen is charged of any crime, Trump is.
I willl be so happy when this is over!!! The other cases are being held back and probably never will come to an end.
Not being held back falling apart cause they are also BULL💩
So no cameras in court but yet you set up a fickin stage at the doors of the courtroom for him to stand there and say whatever he wants, how is that right, people , you need to give your huge heads a huge shake and take a hard look at the path being dug!!!
Constitutional rights. That’s how. 🤦♂️
It's a STATE LAW. No cameras in NY courts.
"Say whatever he wants?" He has a bloody gag order stopping him! What a farce and laughing stock the US system is.
You are a tool.
@@timm5362 I believe it’s a Judge ordered rule, not a law…
"While he's standing there in front of that camera" - he'd rather be out campaigning?? He IS campaigning.
😅😅The irony in prosecuting Trump in NY and not charging Cohen for stealing thousands from Trump org...
Trump takes back America 🇺🇸 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Donald Trump absolutely must take the stand. Who else can tell his story better than he can?
why tho?
@@movienutcracker9756 because not testifying is essentially taking the fifth. And what was the Trimp quote about defendants who do that...? 🤔
Why ?! Cohen has already sealed this one .
@@randominternetuser2888 nah testifying is taking the filth, and cohen did it today..
I agree, he should take the stand in his own defense. He’s said he committed no crimes and also that Michael Cohen is a liar. So he should be good to go.
Michael was lying through his teeth
Guilty on all 34 couts
If Trump is guilty of a $130k payout labeled (as 34 counts for same payment ) as” lawyer fees “ then Hilary has 10x that in counts (340 ) for her 1million dollars paid out and labeled “lawyer fees “ for fake Russia Dossier . No one is above the law right ? Difference is FEC charged and fined Hilary they did NOT charge Trump .
Hahaha. Innocent on all counts. TRUMP POTUS 2024.
Appeals court will change all this.
Appear unphased? He never stops whining outside of the courtroom.
HE LOOKS FINISHED
@alelaeduplasey9468 who's "thay" and why can't y'all read the charging documents 🙄 are you illiterate or just willfully ignorant 🤔
@@alelaeduplasey9468they outlined everything in the charges. Trump saying there is no crime is another lie
@@devan735 so what’s the crime ? 30+ charges for one payment ? Everytime someone says this crap just shows you are not paying attention . It’s one supposed crime for filing $130k as “ lawyer fees “ one count the demons are stretching the ONE payment . Killary paid a million bucks and labeled it as “lawyers fees” guess she should have 300+ counts against her acording to democrats logic. Difference? FEC charged and fined Hilary for her “lawyer fees” lie Trump NO FEC violation no fine WOW but democrats are again spending millions securing their pay checks with tax payers money . Corruption alive and well NYC courts.
@alelaeduplasey9468
Just for openers, the crimes have been named. Wanna start over?
Look at these people scramble to try & justify this garbage. 😂😂😂😂
yeah.... that seems to happen between criminals..... the mob always knew there was always skimming going on.
You seem to be okay with criminal activity. Except when it done to you of course.
Plus shortchanging his contractors, that's something he learned from Trump 😏
Omitting all the facts learned so far is quite telling. Your analogy is flawed
“Many people lie. There are white lies, good lies, bad lies…” that’s were you lost me.
Cohen learned from the best TRUMP, get yours how you can.
Are the documents, e.g, checks, receipts etc, false?
that is not what he is being charged with, they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump acknowledged the payment was made to cover up the payment in order to win the election. Nobody has testified to that, as a matter of fact the payment was made after he was President, the witness stated Trump did not know about the payment, the witness stated that he made the payment to protect Trump's wife, this was backed up by Choens attorney. This needs to be dropped by the Judge.
And the sexual tryst with Stormy Daniels never happened..How do we know?..The Orange Turd said so !.....
They don't have to be false. They were for legal expenses, take off your biased hat and look at this critically
Actively pass notes. Wonder if he is still actively passing gas.
Yep. Those notes to his lawyers are telling them to hold their breaths for incoming gas.
Imagine a convicted perjurer under oath telling the truth about stealing $30,000.00 from his boss🤧
He probably stole a lot more
Best possible response: "Just ask Donald, he's sitting right there."
DONNIE FOR PRISON
Cope harder
Stop wasting time and money 💰 let's get America 🇺🇸 going
Trump can't remember the name of the 34 president who served from 1977 to 1988. How is he capable of remembering 6 years ago?
Why don't you give it a try? LOL All 34!!!
If he admitted to $30,000, it’s likely $300,000
And just like that, Trump wins. Again! Bwahahahaha
NLY IN THE MINDS OF HIS CULT MAGATS LMAO
Fund Raising for a supposed Billionaire? ****!
Are you really that naive?
Michael Cohen lies.Traitor trump lies. Cohen served his time. It's time for donnie to do the same!!
What lies ? Do time for what ? Take a good look in the mirror and you'll understand why you don't have any friends. Why your family can't stand you and the only sexual partner you've ever had is your right hand.
Does Biden lie?!
@petitedoll1 Adderall helps one stay on topic. As a reminder, trump and Cohen are in court, not President Biden.
Lol! Can you tell me why Trump's in court? It's nothing but a ridiculous witch hunt!
I can, Biden and his admin can't win unless they cheat, and they have to keep their political opponent in court. That's why!
So maybe you should keep up cause even many Democrats are saying this is a fake trial, and only giving Trump more power!
Why do they delete my reply!!!!???
He admitted to robbing the man he was lying to protect 🤔😂
I feel as if I am back in the USSR, if there is a person we will find the crime he committed. Stop building back better.
Here’s the deal… Trump guilty! Doesn’t matter what who said where to who! Put hour handcuffs on this criminal!
fundraising from both sides. GET YOUR STORY CORRECT.
Did this fool just say the prosecution has to show that yeah he’s a liar but believe him Go home and accept this prosecution is a disaster
Rachel Maddow was in the Court Room and said Todd Blanche yelled at Cohen. Anybody know more about that?
How can any lawyer yell at someone in a Court and not get reprimanded by the Judge?
lol Racheal Maddow
I guess they are done! Caught him lying and steeling! Anyone have a fork?

You can officially refer to anyone still bowing down to Trump as, "Those who worship evil's might."
A demon speaks.

Cope harder libtard, Biden literally molested his daughter when she was nine, fact.
Better that crooked Joe
When you have no facts to stand on you'll make statements like this

Star witness and convicted liar and he confessed he stole the money?????????????
All it takes is one Trump sycophant juror and the trial is out the door or rescheduled. Oy!
This is some straight up Al Capone stuff. He went to prison for tax evasion. Donny might not ever go to prison at this rate.
DJT had dealings with the mob for years. You didn't run construction back in the day unless you did. One of his best pals was John Gotti, who gave him a pass to hire undocumented workers from Poland to clear the site for Trump tower.
Then there was the dealings in Atlantic City which are too numerous to go into here. Did you know that Al Capone died
of syphilis after being released from prison??
@@howardj602 I did know. I’m from near San Francisco so we learned all about Alcatraz in school.
The defense has no witnesses to present to the jury. But they already lined their pockets they won't collect any more money from him, and they already knew this but they got what they could beforehand. They probably have a couple of ambulances to chase, but they won't have to. Unless they have a wife that needs more. 😅
Remember he was trump man. So thats what they did
When you are knee deep in Trumpism - you are already a liar & criminal - Cohen has paid his price for having been a Trumper and all the illegalities that flow from that - it is now time for Trump to pay the price for his own illegal actions.
Did you skip Brian Buckmire's whole analysis?
Cohen wasn't a Trump guy. He didn't speak directly with Trump. He always went thru a third person like Weisselberg.

Hus supporters already know what's going on and of course will support him thru this
The fact he has even one supporter is a horrendous reflection of the whole USA. The world is beyond disgusted by the USA.
