Trump perks up before his voice is heard on secret recording about hush money made by Cohen
Trump perked up, opened his eyes and appeared to say something to his lawyer Todd Blanche right before his own voice was heard on a recording secretly made by Cohen discussing setting up a "company for the transfer of all of that info about our friend David."
"David" was David Pecker, and the conversation was about a $150,000 payoff to Karen McDougal, Cohen testified.

Donald Trump at his massive rally in Wildwood, New Jersey on Saturday night unveiled one of his best nicknames yet.
This one is about crooked Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg. It is hilarious.
“It’s no wonder Joe Biden and his thugs are so desperate to stop us,” Trump said. “They know that we are the only ones who can stop them. They know that.”
“And as you know, I’ve come here from New York where I’m being forced to endure a Biden show trial,” he continued. “All done by Biden, carried out by right all being done by him. Carried out by radical Democrat, district attorney. You know who he is? Fat Alvin.

Trump is either sleeping or showing a lot of discipline in keeping his eyes closed for full half hour
At this point, here's what I can say: Trump is either sleeping or staying very disciplined to his plan of keeping his eyes closed during Cohen's testimony.
He's now been sitting slumped in his chair with his eyes closed for at least 30 minutes.
He has jerked his head forward slightly at least twice. Besides that, he's been completely still

How Trump melted when Cohen told him about Karen McDougal: 'She’s really beautiful'
Prosecutors took Cohen through the period where he learned about bombshell claims by former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal's claims of an extended affair with Trump. 'Boss I gotta talk do you,' Cohen told Trump as he walked into his office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower, he recalled.
'Come in,' I went in
Cohen says he asked Trump if he knew who Karen McDougal was, or 'anything about the story.'
'His response to me was: 'She’s really beautiful.'
'I said, "Okay but there’s a story ..."' Cohen testified.
That was just one early scene in a chain of events that would result in a $150,000 payment to McDougal. According to Cohen, ex-National Enquirer boss David Pecker would put up the money, but Trump told him, 'I’ll take care of it,' meaning he would pay him back.

Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / Blinken Trashed Israel on the Eve of Memorial Day
« Last post by mystery-ak on Today at 02:57:44 pm »Blinken Trashed Israel on the Eve of Memorial Day
Karen Townsend
4–5 minutes
It's a tough call to determine who is worse about stabbing Israel in the back. Is it President Biden or is it Secretary of State Antony Blinken?
I think it's a toss-up. Both are the kind of two-faced friends that are detrimental to Israel's war to survive - they say one thing in public and another in private. Recently, Biden has become more bold in his bare-knuckle attack on America's only loyal ally in the region. As warped as Biden's rhetoric has become, Blinken is not any better.
Biden cut off a congressionally approved shipment of munitions to Israel because he didn't want Israel to launch an attack on Rafah. He waited until after his speech during a Holocaust Remembrance ceremony last week for the announcement to become public. Biden is desperate about his chances of winning re-election. All of this is political maneuvering by Biden.
Biden has chosen the Hamas caucus of the Democrat Party over Israel, all the while insisting his support is "ironclad." Blinken says that, too.
May 13 is Israel's Memorial Day. It is often described as the most painful day of the year in Israel. With the usual lack of awareness displayed by the Biden administration, Winken Blinken took a shot at Israel for not acting "in a manner that’s consistent with international humanitarian law".

Delivery of testimony by Cohen is 'cautious and flat' as he tries to get jury on his side
From Rob Crilly, Senior Political Reporter inside the courtroom:
Michael Cohen's delivery is considered, cautious, flat.
If jurors were expecting a 'pants on fire' type, or a 'jerk', as other witnesses put it, then they are not getting one.
And that is exactly why prosecutors were so happy to get previous witnesses to dish the dirt on him.
In doing so, they have 'inoculated' the jury against his worst points.
We know that Cohen is a convicted perjurer but the prosecution is hoping the jurors are all thinking: Oh, maybe he's not so bad after all.

'It’s fantastic! That’s unbelievable!' Trump's reaction to National Enquirer stories
Donald Trump was over the moon when the National Enqurier ran positive stories about him or negative ones about his rivals.
The tabloid magazine would send over stories before they were published, and the editorial team often sought input from Trump.
Cohen would show Trump, and he would say: 'It’s fantastic! That’s unbelievable!'

Cohen: Trump said a lot of women would come forward when he announced his run for president
Donald Trump was concerned that many women would come forward when he announced his run for president, Michael Cohen told the court.
The former president’s ‘fixer’ also detailed how he would preview National Enqurier stories and covers before they were published.
Trump and his team knew the power the tabloid had as it was sold in so many supermarkets and bodegas.
Therefore they tried to place positive stories about Trump and negative articles about his opponents.
Cohen revealed that he was in close contact with the National Enquirer publisher at the time, David Pecker, and editor Dylan Howard.
‘Negative ones (stories) I would receive from David or Dylan Howard was Hillary Clinton wearing very thick glasses, some allegations she had some brain injury
‘It was Ted Cruz, a photo of his father with lee Harvey Osawald claiming (he) was involved in the assaination of JFK
‘Article on Marco Rubio in a swimming pool with a bunch of other men claiming they were having a drug binge of some sort.’
