Teri_Kanefield,

Trump and Michael Cohen are facing off in court.

Yet another of Trump's lawyers pleaded guilty to crimes committed in his service.

Trump and his lawyers is a story in itself.

In 2018, Bob Bauer wrote a prescient piece for @lawfare back while Cohen was still Trump's lawyer.

He observed that Trump used his lawyers to get around the law.

Will you be doing any assessment of Cohen’s testimony? Curious about his quality as a witness.

Teri_Kanefield,

@CoffeeTumbler

I assume you are asking because Cohen is a flawed witness, right?

CoffeeTumbler,

@Teri_Kanefield Yes, because I think this the first time he has testified in a trial. We have a live experiment to prove or disprove a hypothesis.

Thanks for the reminder of how devious TFG could be before he lost his marbles.

@Teri_Kanefield @lawfare By the end of the year Trump will show he never had a lawyer. Proof: he never paid any of them.

It's also likely he will show he never had any children and that Donald Trump isn't his real name so be can't be held liable for the actions of someone with that name.

@Teri_Kanefield Yet most of the lawyers come out with licenses intact. The legal system is corrupt.

    @Teri_Kanefield @lawfare just adding a part of the tfg/Cohen saga some may have forgotten : when the pandemic came, Cohen was about to be released from jail as part of easing overcrowding measures. Tfg personally went to Barr and asked Cohen be kept in jail. And for a while he was as Barr was a good boy till almost the end. I forgot how Cohen eventually got out, but this shows you the petty vindictiveness of tfg!

    amoshiashwili,

    @Teri_Kanefield @lawfare I thought Trump dropped the suit against Cohen?

    @Teri_Kanefield @lawfare Watching some of the Legal Eagle takes on YT, and specifically the phrase, "Real lawyers take notes" has been... very enlightening 🙃

    @Teri_Kanefield @lawfare Does pleading guilty by itself count as evidence of the crime they are accused of? I mean in the context of a rico-case.

    maccruiskeen,

    @Teri_Kanefield @lawfare Isn't that what most rich people have lawyers for?

    @Teri_Kanefield @lawfare "where's my Roy Cohn?" that says it all.
