Trump trial in tatters after Michael Cohen's 'otherworldly' testimony
Jonathan Turley
The completion of the testimony of Michael Cohen left the prosecution of Donald Trump, like its star witness, in tatters.
In the final day of cross-examination, Cohen admitted to committing larceny in stealing tens of thousands of dollars from his client.
Even more notably, he admitted to the larceny on the stand — after the statute of limitations had passed. There will be no dead felony zapped back into life against Cohen, as it was for Trump.
Cohen clearly has found a home for his unique skill as a convicted, disbarred serial perjurer.

Given the prejudices of the judge and prosecutor and the very real possibility that the jury is packed with facts-be-damned Trump-Haters, does Cohen's credibility dearth even matter?

I'm praying for at least one decent juror to hang it.

Among the three possible outcomes - "Guilty", "Not Guilty", hung jury - my guess is that there will be one or more jurors honest and persistent enough to create a hung jury. A fully impartial jury would return a "Not Guilty" verdict, but I know Trump-Hating hyper-partisans were trying to get on the jury, and Bragg and the judge made no significant effort to prevent that.
