Cohen’s Testimony

Michael Cohen, a convicted perjurer, took the stand today in Donald Trump’s Manhattan trial. This is supposed to be the testimony that destroys Trump and seals the case. We’ll see. Cohen is not a credible witness.

It’s worth noting that even CNN’s Fareed Zakaria is highly skeptical of this case. He said:

“The trials against [Trump] keep him in the spotlight, infuriate his base, who see him as a martyr and even may serve to make him the object of some sympathy among people in general who believe that his prosecutors are politically motivated.

“This happens to be true, in my opinion. I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump.”

Referring to the political landscape, Zakaria expressed concern about Trump’s lead in the polls, adding, “I understand that polls are not always accurate. But in general, they have tended to underestimate Donald Trump’s support, not overestimate it. I doubt that there are many shy Biden voters in the country.”
