Michael Cohen says trump was aware of 2016 trump tower meeting beforehand
- Thread starter Baller Time
- Start date
There were others present in the room when King Conspirator gave his stamp of approval and wholehearted endorsement to engage in a conspiracy with the Russians to interfere in election notwithstanding the reams of circumstantial evidence preceding, during and after the conspiratorial meeting to prove within a reasonable doubt 'conspiracy' and obstruct of justice.
"Okay everyone, all together now ...... who are we?"
"We are Team Trump"
"And what do we do?"
"TREASON! TREASON! Yeah TREASON!!!!"
Now that Cohen says he knew about the collusion meeting with Don Jr he'll try as hard as possible to avoid talking to Mueller.
Lying to the FBI is a big deal.
I'm too lazy to do a proper research on US law but here's the first hit: http://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3610&context=mulr
And it seems that
1. evidence is clearly admissible, and
2. it can go either way at preliminary hearing or at trial
PS - and here's a piece from 2016: Conviction May Be Sustained upon the Uncorroborated Testimony of a Single Accomplice
In United States v. Fernandez et al., Docket No. 14-4158-cr (L), a summary order issued today, the Circuit principally reaffirms the longstanding rule that “a conviction can be sustained on the basis of testimony from a single accomplice, so long as the testimony is not incredible on its face and is capable of establishing guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.” http://blog.federaldefendersny.org/...n-uncorroborated-testimony-single-accomplice/
That's pretty much what I said. My speculation is Cohen's reputation will preclude it as credible without back up.
Your right. Only those debunked Clinton conspiracies do not need corroboration.
LOL. As opposed to that paragon of honesty and integrity Donald J. trump. Too funny. You should reread Giuliani's assessment of Cohen from a few weeks ago when he said he was totally honest and credible etc. I am paraphrasing but you get the idea.
Are you saying that Cohen's testimony would be 'incredible' vs Trump's word?
Your defences get thinner and thinner.
They will in an impartial court of law if they have to decide is less credible. No way at all that Cohen can match trump's list of lies that are on record.

I'm saying that as a witness he would be shredded and reasonable doubt would play.
Note she hasn't been arrested either. Because of reasonable doubt. Same will apply here.
What is said in the press doesn't matter. Other than the latest word to potential jurors.
Trump's tweets have been used against him in court already.
What is said in the press matters very much.
Guiliani, for instance, just fucked over his claims that Cohen isn't trustworthy as Guiliani has publicly also said Cohen is very trustworthy.
Which makes Guiliani the untrustworthy one here.
Trump, well we know that Trump lies so much he can never be interviewed by Mueller.
Good luck on your character defence.
A blatant liar like Trump can only have the most dishonest politicians in his cabinet. Giuliani has lied on numerous occasions. His son and son-in-law are liars.
Jail Her was the biggest lie!!
GOP lawmaker: 'Nobody’s going to be surprised' if Trump approved Russia meeting

Of course not! No reasonable person believes he was not aware of the meeting. Getting his hands on Hillary’s emails would have been the biggest, most exciting thing that possibly could have blessed the Trump campaign; are we seriously expected to believe that Don Jr kept this secret from his Dad? LMAO!
