  • I'd love a Trump lawyer to say: "you lied continuously didn't you" and for Cohen to say - "yes, I was a lawyer for donald trump"

    A guy changing his mind isn't a lie. Get a clue Tapper.
  • @smkh2890
    Cohen was a loyal soldier until the Boss shafted him.
  • @KaiseruSoze
    You might consider that Cohen, after spending time in prison, might have changed his mind about getting a pardon. Ya know?

    America went stupid on 26 June, 2015. I want to Make America Normal Again.

    Still unjust - split hairs over Cohens response but repeatedly excused for trumps incessant actual actions
  • Go, Cohen! You lied on behalf of trump, and you went to prison for having lied to protect him. Now it is high time for your old boss to pay the price you paid, and more!
  • Usually we monitor our toddlers for behavior issues. Scary that we're talking about a Presidential candidate's behavior.
  • CNN news reporters you all already paint Cohen as a liar so why don't Trump take the stand and dispute the lies.
  • @heatherbarr2238
    People are allowed to change their minds. Just because he said something in 2019 doesn't mean he still believes the same thing now. That's not lying that's changing your mind.

    It is interesting to me how I am losing my sense of and respect in Jake Tapper. I can't even explain it except that I don't trust him anymore.
  • Everytime Blanche asks Cohen about lying, he should be telling the jurors that he lied for Trump to benefit him and cover up for him. The defense need to be shut down by Cohen on that line of questioning. Cohen has to get that point across to jurors.

    How would this NOT affect Cohen, his life & his family however this case is decided? Michael is there because he’s required to appear. People seem confused about this.
  • Oh no. This could offset the jury's opinion of Cohen. Thank goodness for the hard evidence, receipts, emails, etc. that the Prosecution will have to relay on to convict Trump. Please!👏
