Trump attorney attempts to get Cohen to admit to perjury while trying to cast him as a liar; Cohen repeatedly implicated Trump in financial wrongdoing Tuesday
Oct. 25th-Judge in Trump case will weigh possible gag order violation
“Did you ever ask President Trump to pardon you while he was in the White House?” Habba asked.
“No,” Cohen said.
“He didn’t pardon you, did he?”
“No,” Cohen replied with force.
First of all, why would he need a pardon? He was doing crimes for trump. How does this help trump? Second, trump already lost, they’re just figuring out the amount, the judge isn’t going to be swayed by these tactics. I guess it’s for soundbites for his followers?
Don’t underestimate the sheer stupidity of those in trump’s orbit. This fuckwit probably thinks he’s gonna get paid, too. If he didn’t already demand a retainer of a few mil.
So trump has no idea what his 2 top accountants were doing and he signed all of the papers saying he did, lol. His lawyers must not have anything as a defense if that’s the basis.
“Your honor, it’s a well-known fact that my defendant is illiterate. He trusted these snakes to read the documents to him, and then he would sign. They clearly misrepresented the contents verbally.”

I truly wish this one was televised, such a train wreck on their part. Cohen added some funny moments too, but to see trump in court getting clobbered would be nice.
They’ll resume at 2:15 ET
I really don’t understand this bit:

Habba is a woman, but yeah.
lol, even better. We know how respectful Trump is of women.
If he never got a pardon the theory is that he was just doing the crimes of his own accord, so Trump shouldn’t be responsible for them.
So trump has no idea what his 2 top accountants were doing and he signed all of the papers saying he did, lol. His lawyers must not have anything as a defense if that’s the basis.
Regardless, he was found guilty so we’ll see.

And no one would be shocked.
Habba is completely out of her depth.

“No! Of course not. I asked for a pardon while we were golfing.”
