Michael Cohen to testify Monday in Trump hush-money probe

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by JudyM (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Associated Press

Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen is scheduled to testify Monday before a Manhattan grand jury investigating hush-money payments made on the former president’s behalf, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. They were not authorized to speak publicly about grand jury proceedings and did so on condition of anonymity.

Cohen is a key witness in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation and his testimony is coming at a critical time, as prosecutors close in on a decision on whether to seek charges against Trump. Prosecutors sometimes save their most important witnesses until the end stages of a grand jury investigation.

Grand Jury testimony usually happens after the interviews. That’s when it gets entered under oath.

Should be an interesting week. Trump will be having fits and I love that!

Trump will be taxidermied (?) and propped up in the dining room at Merde-a-Lardo for guests to take selfies. Trump’s kids will charge $99 per photo and they’ll probably have a recording of Trump whining about the 2020 election. Grifters gotta grift, you know?

He does look like something that has passed its "bury by" date.

He is so much of a narcissist he would want to live after death.

He will of course have a garish ceremony and symbolic burial at Arlington. But his body will stay on display somewhere very public.

12. Broadcast the Perp Walk All 'Round the World! The Bigliest, Turdiest, Ass-Gape of All!!

I wonder, are there substantiated facts that suggest they're moving against Trump now, because the billionaire Nat-C GOP Fascists, decided on DeSantis, making Trump fair game?

Perhaps let him Hoover up DeSantis voters, convict him, then... sell tickets and eggs on-line, perp walk him down 5th Ave, while broadcasting the perp walk all 'round the world! Bigliest EVER!!! ROFLMAO

The ol' one-two punch don't ya' know!

Hell, I've not visited NYC as of yet, my mother and her parents lived there during the 1940's, a visit is long overdue!
That would be reason enough!!!

May reason rule!!
