  • As soon as you hear the audio recording of Trump telling Cohen "cash" then Coehn says "no no no" you realize he's completely guilty. Good thing Cohen recorded trump.
  • @jbdarr604
    Here is a question for Trump. Why would you pay a person if you didn’t know what it was for?
  • @user-ft4dg3hs8s
    It just goes to show you. Defending the indefensible is impossible.
  • @lynemac2539
    Wear out Michael Cohen?! Better bring a lunch!
  • @user-gw5pp2ur4h
    Todd Blanche does have a plan. Send a fruit basket and heartfelt letter of apology to his old firm and try to get his job back.
  • This is what happens when lawyers do what their client wants instead of what's actually in their advantage.
  • @paulshaw5119
    Tod Blanche`s reputation has just hit the bottom of the barrel. EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES!
  • @snowrose101
    Todd Blanche was performing for an audience of one: Donald Trump. He was trying to please Trump to make sure he gets paid. Instead, he probably irritated the jury.
  • @epochchange6803
    McQuade is on point. She's right, Blanche has little to no experience as a defense attorney. He's a rookie and is making rookie mistakes, if I were to take his side. But Blanche has nothing to discredit Cohen with, which makes his "rookie mistakes" innocuous and benign.

  • His biggest rookie mistake was letting Trump speak out loud everyday after court. Trump already said it was his NDA.
  • @kylecarney2149
    He's not a rookie. He's a very good lawyer that is unqualified for this case and dealing with Trump's micromanagement.

    I just love you as a commentator and facilitator, Ms. Phang 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I have been a political and economic news/analyses for 50y and, for me, your demeanor and informed insight are uniquely engrossing ❣️ Go "Trump on Trial"
