Donald Trump’s Lawyers Begin Their Defense

Reminder, Cohen was convicted over the exact same criminal transactions Trump has been charged with and all Chief’s lies and crimes he was convicted of were in service to, and behalf of Trump.

Here’s what Cohen plead guilty to:

the guilty plea of MICHAEL COHEN to charges of tax evasion, making false statements to a federally-insured bank, and campaign finance violations. The plea was entered followed the filing of an eight-count criminal information, which alleged that COHEN concealed more than $4 million in personal income from the IRS, made false statements to a federally-insured financial institution in connection with a $500,000 home equity loan, and, in 2016, caused $280,000 in payments to be made to silence two women who otherwise planned to speak publicly about their alleged affairs with a presidential candidate, thereby intending to influence the 2016 presidential election. COHEN pled guilty today before U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III.

Not exactly the same charges.

I guess “I’m not making anything up here, I went to prison for this shit.” is a pretty good response to any attempt by defense counsel to attack the witness’s credibiity.
