In reply to the discussion: So michael cohen just admitted under oath that he stole money from the trump organization [View all]

(59,727 posts)89. You know what? I think the biggest danger here is that any MAGAts on the jury will decline
to convict despite the evidence. But Cohen is exactly the kind of guy who MAGAts can relate to. Once upon a time, he was the ultimate MAGAt.
I really wonder if HE is the factor that will sway any MAGAts on the jury to convict based on the evidence. I think there's a chance he is.
Fingers crossed.

Yes. The other witnesses and documentary evidence all tell us Cohen is telling the truth.

Nothing. Exactly nothing. This whole case is paper. They have all receipts. Including the crime budget on paper.
