With the great one Rachel Maddow MSNBC waiting to enter court for Day 20 of the Trump Trial

We will get through it together Mark Hamill — there are many more Americans who agree with us about the corruption of SCOTUS than the opposite!

SUCH a good point Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads)🌻

We are headed into the homestretch of the Trump NYC criminal trial

What will happen on the remaining cross of Cohen? What will redirect look like? And what’s left before the case goes to the jury?

A lot! At 7 PM ET I’ll join @cnn Jessica Dean to preview

If you read only 1 thing today, make it this analysis of the profound corruption of SCOTUS by Michael Podhorzer

The upside down flag, Alito & Thomas’ junkets & Ginny Thomas’ involvement in the run up to 1/6 are shocking–but there is so much more

Shocked to learn of the passing of my @cnn colleague & friend Alice Stewart. She harkened back to a different time when liberals & conservatives could be the best of friends. In our many conversations on & off the air, she was always kind & thoughtful. Can’t believe the news

Will you two fore get about the golf puns please? Don’t make me tee off on you

Trials, like boxing matches, are about momentum—& the defense got some in an exchange w Cohen yesterday

But no further punches were landed thereafter—& that 1 moment likely won't break the case

I'll discuss @cnnsitroom in the 6pm ET hr — TN cnn.com/2024/05/16/opi…

Blanche landed a punch to the chin during Cohen’s cross yesterday

But Cohen stood his ground—& one sequence isn’t enough to cast reasonable doubt on the entire case

I discussed CNN w Kaitlan Collins —TN

Blanche questioning Cohen about his Oct. '16 call with Trump might've shaved a few points off of prosecutors' lead

But was it enough to reverse the evidence that they built corroborating his testimony?

I explained why I don't think so CNN International w john vause —TN

In a cross like Cohen's, you need to land multiple punches

His accounts were already corroborated by 18 days of testimony from other witnesses—& one blow isn't enough to knock that down

I discussed CNN w Kaitlan Collins —TN

When Blanche tried to push Cohen yesterday, Cohen consistently pushed right back

His testimony was candid & firm--& that matters more to this case than the one blow Blanche landed on him

I discussed Anderson Cooper 360° w Anderson Cooper & more —TN

The prosecution has been corroborating its case from day 1, beginning w Pecker's testimony about the Aug 2015 Trump Tower meeting

The one blow that Blanche landed on Cohen yesterday will not undo all of that

I discussed Anderson Cooper 360° w Anderson Cooper & more —TN

Yes, one cross examination sequence landed a punch

But it was not the knockout that the defense needed & Cohen stood his ground

I was there & the jury seemed to roll with it as well

I explained Anderson Cooper 360° w Anderson Cooper

Yesterday may have been a bit rocky for him, but we are not done w Cohen yet

When the prosecution comes back on redirect on Monday, they'll refresh the corroborating evidence they've pieced together once more

I'll discuss CNN International in the 8am ET hr -- TN cnn.com/2024/05/14/opi…

Trials, like boxing matches, are abt momentum

Blanche landed some chin punches yesterday, but it may not have been enough to knock the prosecution down

I discussed in my latest trial diary @CNNopinion -- TN cnn.com/2024/05/16/opi…
