My gosh, how much longer is this liar going to drone on, for the prosecution?
Andrew H. Giuliani
@AndrewHGiuliani
My note: Now the ADA is trying to show the jury a contrite Cohen, setting out a date for a line in the sand when he crossed from being a serial liar to an altruistic truth teller. They have not rebuilt his credibility, but that may be too difficult so this strategy might have to do.
ADA now asking Cohen about where he was sentenced to serve his prison sentence.
Now asking about why Cohen was furloughed and why he was sent back to prison during his furlough.
Cohen sites Adam Pacula (sp?) who allegedly told him to come meet him at a place in lower Manhattan. Says he gave Cohen a document what was supposed to represent a Federal Monitoring Agreement.
ADA: When you were presented that agreement, did you question it?
Cohen: I did
ADA: Were you sent back to prison.
Cohen: Yes, in solitary confinement.
Aside: Michael Cohen is even dumber than I remember.
Soros funded DA’s office now asking convicted felon Michael Cohen about the cellphones that were seized by the FBI. Cohen says he might have powered on the phones after receiving them to see if they worked.
ADA: What did you do with the older phones?
Soros: One remained in the boxes that returned, the other was in a pouch with a bunch of cellphones that were taken. Those others belonged to my wife, my children.
My Aside: Remember, the prosecution is attempting to make the chain of custody of the cell phones important because they want to establish that Cohen did not alter the voice memo where President Trump was surreptitiously recorded by Cohen.
ADA now asking about Cohen testifying in the Leticia James, Judge Engoron Trump civil case where Engoron awarded the state of New York, >$450 Million of President Trump’s money. This case is in appeal.
My note: Interesting to see if the judge includes this as this seems like apples to oranges. Remember, we are in criminal court where the burden of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt while in civil court, the burden of proof is significantly lower.
Soros funded DA’s office questioning convicted felon Michael Cohen if he still has his law license?
Cohen: I lost my law license as a direct result of this.
ADA: Of your felony pleas?
Cohen: Yes ma’am.
ADA: Do you still have the taxi medalian business?
Cohen: No ma’am
Cohen now answering how he makes his living now. He says primarily from media, including Mea Culpa. Asking now if he discusses President Trump. He says yes. ADA asking if he has another podcast, Cohen says yes. ADA asks again if that podcast discusses President Trump. Cohen says yes and injects that it’s a news podcast.
(Let’s see if the Prosecution asks about his Trump behind bars T-shirt last Wednesday or they leave it for cross-examination)
Now on to Cohen’s book Disloyal
ADA: Why did you decide to write that book
Cohen: Time management in prison
ADA: What is that book about?
Cohen: It’s about many things. My life growing up, my wife. Mr Trump
ADA: What about the book Revenge?
Cohen: It is about the prosecution against me by the Southern District of New York. I characterize it as a weaponization of the Justice Department by President Trump.
Mr Cohen, do you have any regrets about your past work and association with Donald Trump?
Cohen: I do.
ADA: What are they?
I regret doing things that I shouldn’t have, lying, bullying people. I don’t regret working at the Trump organization, some very interesting, great times. But to keep the loyalty, I violated my moral compass and I suffered the consequences.
(Keyboards typing furiously)
ADA: No further questions
Trump giving a little stretch with hands above head.
President Trump has exited the courtroom giving a thumbs up on his way out the back door exit. We will resume with the cross examination of convicted felon Michael Cohen around 2:15pm.
Video Recap of the morning to come…
After lunch, Cohen will be subjected to cross.....
Asking now if he discusses President Trump. He says yes. ADA asking if he has another podcast, Cohen says yes. ADA asks again if that podcast discusses President Trump. Cohen says yes and injects that it’s a news podcast.
Yet, RPOTUS is the one under a gag order.
Sheesh.
Completely messed up.
After lunch, Cohen will be subjected to cross.....
Judge will likely recess early, to give hound dog a nice break, before more rehearsal, tonight.

The “mainstream” (liberal) media is upset elected and other Republican officials are providing to the American people these objective facts (”attacks”):
Democrat Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan, who donated to Biden and another anti-Trump cause, must recuse under New York law (per a former Clinton federal judge in New York). Merchan’s adult daughter Loren Merchan, a top Democrat fundraiser and consultant, has raised millions of dollars off her father’s unprecedented trial of Trump.
Judge Merchan has threatened to jail Trump for mentioning this.
The prior Manhattan DA, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney, the Federal Election Commission, and even current Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg himself declined to bring charges against Trump based upon this bogus legal theory—which they will not even tell the criminal defendant four weeks into his trial. Then Matthew Colangelo, a senior Biden Justice Department political appointee and former DNC political consultant and Obama White House and Justice Department political appointee, got deployed to Bragg’s office to bring charges against a former and likely future President for the first time in American history.
Judge Merchan has threatened to jail Trump for mentioning this.
Disbarred attorney, serial perjurer, and convicted Michael Cohen, who is angry Trump didn’t make him a senior White House official, is peddling Cohen’s new book and getting paid by TikTok to trash a criminal defendant. When Trump responded, Democrat Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan—whose daughter is profiting from the trial—held Trump in contempt.
And threatening to jail Trump for mentioning this.
Bimbo porn star Stormy Daniels, who is peddling her porn site on Twitter, changed her story again, testified she hates Trump, and has trashed him regularly online during the trial.
If Trump responds, Judge Merchan has threatened to jail him.
Bragg, Colangelo, and Merchan rigged the jury-selection process. The Manhattan jury pool voted 87% for Biden. They asked potential jurors if they follow Trump on social media. But they didn’t ask if they follow Biden.
Judge Merchan has threatened to jail Trump for mentioning this.
I heard that the biased Judge Merchan complained to the prosecution that Cohen was talking too much, needed to cool it.
The prosecution told him they had told Cohen to zip it but he wouldn’t.
Wow ... so, now the (biased) Judge can also lead a witness?
Truly something.
Good news: YT transcriber working again.
Here’s my usual link without the lengthy post.

*****Kayleigh McEnany reported that RPOTUS did a pretaped interview on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show, when he said he might not announce his VP choice until the July convention!!
I will post a link asap🥰
There’s also supposed to a NY fundraiser tonight:
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/trump-to-fundraise-in-manhattan-tuesday-evening/
Fundraising tickets for Tuesday evening’s event cost a minimum of $100,000. Those who contribute $844,600 will get a photo, VIP dinner seating, and an “Our Journey Together” coffee table book signed by Trump, according to the event invite.
Also expected to attend tonight’s “Trump 47” fundraiser in New York City are North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Senator Tim Scott (R., S.C.), and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, sources familiar with the matter tell NR.
Don’t know why Noem is still involved??
What next? The “judge” tells this (likely fearful of the NY system) jury how to vote, on this sham case?
Would not surprise me, at this point.
Maybe Gov Noem is bringing some of the $844M donors?
That’s my best guess.
So a sitting member of Congress is witness tampering in the trial against Trump.
Nothing to see here. Move along……

Vivek Ramaswamy gives a fiery defense of Donald Trump:

Is it common practice for a member of CONGRESS, in this case, Rep. Dan Goldman, to meet with a witness, Michael Cohen, multiple times to prepare him to testify against the candidate from the opposing party?
https://twitter.com/EL4USA/status/1790402094026911754
Vivek is good.
I’m just not sure whose side he is on.
Maybe Gov Noem is bringing some of the $844M donors?
Could be the reason, dear Jane. Something about how she pretty much took herself out of the running, with revealing how she shot her dog😢
*****Transcriber working well again and here’s the link of the presser with Gov. Burgum, Vivek, Reps. Mills & Donalds:

*****Will have the Clay & Buck interview asap
I was disappointed in DeSantis. I had hoped he would have attacked the Lawfare as forcefully as Vivek did today.
Thanks for posting.
I’m wondering the same thing, about Goldman coaching/tampering with Cohen.
