verdantsquare, Will Michael Cohen’s testimony sway jurors in Trump’s hush-money trial? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/18/michael-cohen-testimony-donald-trump-trial?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #worldnews #guardian
FrankFrank, 
Everything Cohen testified to is corroborated by other witnesses & physical documents.
Too much attention is being generated around Michael Cohen's testimony, because Cohen is the target of the tRUMPublican 'Blue Suit Red Tie Coup-Groupies' task of discrediting 'tRUMP's Fixer Bagman'.
Most media represents the tRUMP controlled narrative, which is a faulty point of view.

VikingChieftain, 
Hopefully they do it in retaliation for what the Chinese do to the Uighurs. They would then be the only Muslims who did something for their fellow Muslims in China. I’ve yet to hear the Muslim leaders around the world express outrage against the CCP’s treatment of the Uighurs in Xinjiang.
