As much as you hate the media, it is still not enough.
President Trump was back in a Manhattan court on Monday in Alvin Bragg’s Soviet-style ‘hush money’ lawfare trial.
The prosecutors once again rolled out their ‘star witness’ Michael Cohen, a convicted perjurer, to take the witness stand.
Cohen shocked the public when he admitted he stole tens of thousands of dollars from Trump and lied to Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg.
He also said he would lie to the jury if it affected his personal life.
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell defended Trump’s former-lawyer-turned-rat Michael Cohen stealing $30,000 from the Trump Organization and lying to its CFO Allen Weisselberg.
Lawrence O’Donnell said it wasn’t really stealing because Michael Cohen said he deserved a bonus.
Makes sense!
“It didn’t really sound like stealing $30,000. It sounded a lot like Michael Cohen doing the little that he could within that calculation to rebalance the bonus he thought he deserved, and it still came out as less than the bonus he thought he deserved and the bonus he had gotten the year before,” Lawrence O’Donnell said.
