Attorney Robert Costello Speaks Out after Testimony: “It Was Clear to Me the Manhattan Grand Jury Did Not Want to Get to the Truth” (VIDEO) ((MUST SEE!))

Robert Costello, the former legal adviser to Michael Cohen, spoke to Tucker Carlson on Monday night after he testified to Manhattan Grand Jury investigating President Donald Trump.

Costello told the FOX News audience that he testified for two years in front of Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan Grand Jury.

Robert Costello told Tucker Carlson, “I spoke to the jury for two hours… It was clear to me the Manhattan Grand Jury did not want to get to the truth.”

Robert Costello: I just spent 2 hours or so testifying before the grand jury in downtown Manhattan, and I got my point across. Although it was clear to me that the Manhattan DA’s office did not want to get to the truth, I need to explain that a little bit. I called them up after I saw Michael Cohn on TV stating things that he said he was going to tell the grand jury and had told the grand jury that were contrary to what he told us when we first represented him in April of 2018. So I’m sitting at home watching these lies and I said I’ve got to do something about it. I don’t represent Donald Trump, but I do stand for justice. And I think I have a legal obligation to inform both sides. So that’s what I did. Costello then told Tucker that Michael Cohen has a “lie, cheat and steal, mindset.”

Robert Costello: And I told them and told the grand jury today I was Deputy Chief of the criminal division of the US. Attorneys for the Southern District. I said I wouldn’t touch a witness like Michael Cohn for any amount of money. You simply cannot rely upon this guy.

Bragg does not care if he gets overturned on appeal as he will be. The benefit of this attack at this time is diversion of attention from the Biden Chinese money scandals. A plus benefit is if Bragg can get Trump actually jailed with no bail . It only takes a day or two for DJT to get so depressed in his situation that someone decides he needs to be serviced with suicide. That will finally preclude him from running for President. I don’t know why they worry. They still control the election process in key states and can steer the election anywhere they want it

It was two hours but it seemed like two years.

Watched his comments on Tucker. Most informative.

“Show” trials are best preceded by “show” grand juries...

Waste of time getting pissed over it...

We live in a totalitarian communist country and should not expect judicial environments to be based on honesty and the Constitution...

Things like the deluge of Trump show trials and the secret show trials of the J6 protesters are just the beginning...

The future is going to be unending show trials for other heinous offenses like improper gender usage, criticism of the government, openly expressing your thoughts and beliefs, criticizing all future fraudulent election processes, and insisting that fake science (climate) is good science...

We are a Nation of morons, thanks to 50 years of thorough America-hating & communism indoctrination of children in government schools...

The birth parents who committed criminal child abuse by turning their offspring over to the government asylum masters are ultimately responsible for the dark tyranny that is going to last for the next century or so...

Avenatti was Stormy’s lawyer.

Downhill from there …….

You can bet every one of these New Yawk ahos on this so called “grand jury” are only thinking about the big bucks and fame they’re going to have after they are recognized as being the turd rollers who finally brought down Trump. Book and movie deals galore. Getting to sit on the couch eating bon bons with the likes of Whoopi Cushion, Joy Behar, Opie Windbag, Jimmie Himmler, etc. These jackasses can’t wait to indict Donald the Ham Sammich. Real scumbags.

At the Department of Justice, politics is much more important than justice.

I hope that the House uses the power of the budget to cut the DOJ budget and require them to relocate DOJ headquarters to either Fairbanks, Alaska, Salt Lake City Utah, or Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.

I blame the undercover Marxists in academia for it, the parents had no clue it was happening till it was too late for the most part imho.

Jmo.

As my husband said to me yesterday re: Stormi Daniels and Avenatti; “Didn’t it used to be that the person perpetrating the extortion was the one who got prosecuted? For Avenatti, the lesson here is don’t extort from the massive corporation with Chinese ties but a Republican Presidential candidate is fair game.

I’m not dismissing the shortcoming of parents watching what their kids are being fed in school, they do have some part in what’s happened to our kids

Just that they aren’t the base source of the mess.
