NEW: On cross examination, Michael Cohen is asked whether he was telling the truth when, on various occasions, he heaped praise on Trump publicly. His response? “At that time, I was knee deep into the cult of Donald Trump, yes.”

Speaker Mike Johnson must resign.

Today.

For those who forgot:

Donald Trump is on trial,
not Michael Cohen.

In the morning session, Cohen said that Sean Hannity was working behind the scenes to help with the cover up, and his last conversation with Trump was after his house was raided by the FBI, when Trump assured him that he would make it all go away. Story. meidasnews.com/news/michael-c…

Here’s how the cross-exam of Michael Cohen began:

BLANCHE:  Mr. Cohen, my name is Todd Blanche and you and I have never met.
BLANCHE: You went on TikTok and called me a “crying little shit”
COHEN: “that sounds like something I would say”

OBJECTION: SUSTAINED

We need a 'Walter Cronkite Moment' out of the The New York Times (but we won't get one).

We did get what we needed out of Michael Cohen: the word 'calmly'

Dear Mainstream Media:

STOP calling it the “hush money case”

It is a CAMPAIGN FINANCE case — and that’s the #1 crime for which politicians go to prison

Trump is accused of faking business records to cover up a campaign finance crime

THAT is what this case about

xoxo
America

Donald Trump gave his team strict orders to chisel on every single invoice, for as little as a few thousand dollars.

Michael Cohen was paid $420,000 — and Trump signed the checks himself.

There is ZERO chance Trump didn’t direct and dictate those payments — personally.

.Lawrence O'Donnell your opening monologue tonight is 🔥🔥🔥🔥…

Stop over-analyzing the Trump case:

Exhibit A - the audio recording of Trump

Exhibit B - the checks to Cohen - signed by Trump

Trump ordered the whole scheme and literally signed off on the payments. It was clearly a cover-up to help save his campaign.

It’s just common sense.

I hope Michael Cohen is listening to Lawrence’s opening. What an effective and brilliant complement of how well Michael did today. Wow. Thanks on behalf of Michael and all of us who want to see him succeed. Lawrence O'Donnell The Last Word

Tomorrow is Election Day! If you haven’t already, make a plan to VOTE Harry Dunn for #MD03 ! 😊
