      So, I think, will many who are currently defending the failed ex-president - who are demonstrating their loyalty to him by loudly parroting the accusations and threats he (by law, as a defendant in a criminal trial) is not allowed to make against his judge, the judge's family, and those who witness for the prosecution. They too will eventually discover that this man, the failed ex-president, considers loyalty strictly a one-way street. I think just about everyone who is currently on "his" side will discover this sooner or later.

    Remember Michael Cohen is a LAWYER and he knows how to behave in a courtroom, what to expect and how to deal with a direct examination and a cross examination. He is prepared for this and living in the moment also remembering how he was treated back when this all happened. Michael Cohen being the attorney who had to do the work and look at how he was treated. Michael Cohen knows the inside story of all of this and has paid his dues.

    3. They say that he expects and rewards loyalty.

He knew the duty of Blanche is to present a vigorous defense, as the law requires him to do. Cohen knows his own past. His "mea culpa" podcast is literally about that.

      It's not a myth. It's a religious law among successful trial lawyers, with good reason. You can't control the presentation of the right evidence, in a persuasive way, in the right order and have impact, if you don't know whatva witness will say. Successful trial lawyers try never to do it with one exception: If the answer can't hurt your case. Like ; Q: Did you strike your wife or your daughter first? Either way, if the guy answers, it's bad for him. But before I'd ask even that, I'd have eliminated any extraneous possibilities. Trump's lawyers don't know how yo do it. Many lawyers who find themselves in court, don't.

    As a court reporter, I kind of like it when there's an attorney in the witness box, and one attorney is questioning another attorney. It's like watching a gun fight in an old western. Very entertaining.

    So it’s becoming increasingly clear that either trump has not been completely open and honest with Blanch (no surprise there) or Blanch has not even bothered to ask trump about the finer details of this whole situation. I suppose other options are that Blanch believes that trump is totally innocent, or he wants a good role in trump's dictatorship. AG Blanch?

    Don needs to represent himself.
    No one knows the law better than Don.
    He's been involved with the law and lawyers for decades.
    He'll save money and gain even more support than he currently enjoys.
    He's the center of attention and he doesn't have to share it with anyone.
