(2,061 posts)They backed ho.everything Cohen was going to say before he took the stand. To say that all testimony is backed up, to show the crime occurred, but because he stole money he other guy will be set free, ignores the mountain of evidence that came before Cohen's testimony.
I can hear deliberations - well, everything is backed by at least one piece of evidence, if not more. Cohen spent time in jail for his part in this crime. And doesn't everyone mortgage their house with the possibility of losing it, just for their boss? But that whole robbing from the trump corporation.....if he stole, even though it has nothing to do with the Mt.Everest sized proof, or even the case, I guess we cannot convict him. Oh look! He also got a parking ticket! That also has nothing to do with the case but now we seriously cannot convict!!!!
That just does not seen plausible. In fact, if I am on a jury, it convinces me Cohen is telling the truth. Now he will probably face charges and you know how vengeful Donnie is. Cohen put himself on the spot legally and from harm by Donnie' s minions when he admitted that. Who does that unless they are telling the truth. It lends credibility to Cohen's testimony. It means you can believe him.
