Cohen is just trying to set his record right. He has a right to tell his truth.
Cohen hasn't been talking about the trial anyway.
So what if Cohen is a convicted serial felon? It’s his 1st Amendment right to set his record right every night.
Setting the record straight hooked on Fentenyl you genius
Cohen had already decided not to talk about the case - your headline and reporting is misleading.
Stop waiting for Trump after court has let out. He says the same thing every day. What a waste of air time.
Now that would be a statement ... steps out to nothing but dirty parade barricade and echo of the tiled corridor
@@jjrr2273 RIGHT? He asked for his MAGA protestors, they are dwindling, and know they're going to look fools...they see the writing on the wall, and years from now, don't want video evidence that they were CONNED by Don.
NO FREE MARKETING FOR "CANDIDATE" TRUMP!!! Although, his whining is hitting very differently for people with a brain who can see right through his LIES.
I agree Trump does not deserve air time outside of the court.
I agree I hate him
Michael Cohen had already publicly committed to not talking about it until after the trial.
What an angel! LOL.
And he has! Stopped!
Dude he was just on mediastouch like yesterday. Hes on a show every night lying.
Right
And what comments did he make last night about the case?@@will-vi9pk
Get v your facts straight. Cohen, like him or hate him, voluntarily stopped commenting on Trump a week ago.
Thank you
Only after VonShitzinpants. He's as uncontrolled as Trump and cut from the same fabric. His only job while awaiting this trial was to perhaps go over proveable facts of the case that he might testify about.
Bottomline, Cohen was and is a crook himself which doesn't make him unreliable nor a hero. The info he provided to congress after his sentencing was merely retribution by exposing their illegal activity, to which he was instrumental. He just wasn't going down alone. Wish the same had been true for Weisselberg.
Except he didn’t stop.
Yes, he most certainly did.
Exactly!
I think you're reporting is wrong here on Michael Cohen he is not said anything about Trump for the last 2 or 3 weeks. He did that on his own because he said he wanted to show respect for the judge and the trial.
Who cares? Cohen is as big a criminal as Trump. I hope they both go to jail.
But trump may try to antagonize Micheal and he must not let trump get to him !!
But more importantly not incriminate himself or opening up to potential law suit?
I am not on Tic Toc, so I am not sure of the accuracy of their statements that MC is still badmouthing baby D.
is he wearing trump in jail shirts on tiktok?
You’ve got it wrong. Cohen is not the defendant and is entitled to publicize his opinions.
Bodes well for him if he doesn't. One adult and 1 crybaby
Sure he can, if he wants to risk the case. The DA told him not to, but he did anyway.
He is a key witness - he needs to not compromise the trial.
He needs to show some restraint and not sound like he's out to get Trump. Very simple equation where being immature and acting out could screw up the potentially most important testimony.
Yes he is entitled to his opinion. But the defense can use that in court to prejudice the jury against him. It's in the best interest of Justice that Cohen shut his damn trap. There's a difference between what he is legally allowed to do and what he should do. He should shut the f up.
Get on the stand Trump.
He's too crazy. He just wants to rant and lie outside the courtroom where there's no perjury threat.
If his lawyers have been paid, he won't.
His diaper is not big enough
Herr Drumpf is too feeble and cowardly to take the stand
@@pt109che
He wasn't allowed to testify.
He wasn't "rebuked", get your facts straight
Nonsense Headlines! You CAN'T ''rebuke'' ANYONE for something they haven't done or said. Read a little further and it says ''warns''...not the same thing at all!
What judge attacks a witness days before they give testimony? Does Cohen get 11 warnings too?
You’re right! I think it’s called clickbait.
I'm noticing that content creators of all stripes are using hyperbolic language more and more in their videothumb nails to catch our attention: Bomshell! Explosive details! Meltdown! It's so annoying.
@@ethos1236You've got that right. Not only does it reek of desperation, it erodes any sense of credibility.
@@rickmoss6421It's like deception in advertising. Monetization is driving the hyperbole.
Did Michael Cohen try to intimidate the jury or witnesses? Did he make disparaging remarks about the judicial system?
No but he is a liar. Did someone say Bill Clinton lol
@@JARRELLMORE2nope, he's not a liar
@@JARRELLMORE2How old are you with your juvenile deflections?
@@JARRELLMORE2 Cohen doesn't compare to trump as a liar . . .
there were over 30,000 documented lies by trump during his deplorable 4 years in the White House . . . and many more before and since . . .
Cohen perjured himself FOR TRUMP. AND SERVED TIME FOR TRUMP.
America. Unites. Blue. 💙💙💙
Michael Cohen is not threatening any jurors or witnesses. Cohen is not trying to intimidate any witnesses or jurors. Big difference between how Trump’s outbursts and Cohen’s outburst affect the proceedings.
Michael Cohen, stated on Meidas Touch, that he will not be posting anything about Trump.
Trump and sons also perjured themselves with their denial of/involvement with accounting practices of their business in TRUMP ORG.
Michael has not spoken about the case.
Not for some time anyway....
Even the fake news showed him in Trump in jail T Shirt. Yesterday. Ostriches and kangaroos.
Only Denmark has a working justice system, where the law is for all. In America, money gives you influence and justice 😂😂😂😂
You are saying Cohen is saying derogatory and negative things about people and how bad that is. What about trump? trump does that every single day. Look what he says about the judge. We just don't say anything because we EXPECT it from trump. NO trump's behavior is not ok! No other defendant could get away with blasting the judge like trump has, it just does not happen! Let alone violate the gag order TEN TIMES!
Elven times and counting
@@jojojenkins5172 I know. Disgusting. No other judge would allow someone to attack him like that either. trump simply cannot control himself!!!
He walks around with a hand full of papers, like its soooo important to show how much bs his team is doing, rather than defending him based on TRUTH. GODS TRUTH!
Like the 60 minutes interview 🤣😂. God's truth? Or the truth.... Rhetorical that last bit
News for y'all Michael Cohen stop talking about this man ahead of time. No one asked him to. I'll be glad when this over!
Very correct my dear
Think about this....when Stormy Daniels had her fling with Trump when she was 27 years ars old, that would have made Ivanka around 25 years old. If Trump actually said that "she reminded him of his own daughter" just before sleeping with her, don't you think that's disgusting.
🤮
That has absolutely nothing to do with the case!
The Trump cult is willing to overlook and rationalize and make illogical excuses for anything.
This man is SICK !
@@SiacourageMaybe not, but that disgusting, sick, bell can't be unrung, and it's going to make most sane, semi-intelligent voters think twice, I hope! 😮
Cohen had stopped talking about the case a little over 3 weeks ago.
No, obviously not.He lied yet again. Did you even watch this video?
@@xxcelr8rs Did you consider it may be old footage? And that wearing a tee shirt is not actually ‘bad mouthing’? Or that he is not the one on trial, he is a witness? He committed to not partaking in any further DISCUSSIONS weeks ago out of respect for the judge. He has not spoken about the trial for weeks now, on his 2 podcasts. MSM seem to want to are the pot for some reason ! But seem to gloss over the h@te TFG continues to spew about the judge and the DA at every chance!
I am praying that Michael Cohen keeps his wits about him and is not triggered by the cross examination.
Michael, stay cool!
Cohen hasn’t said anything about dump truck in 2 weeks. He is not gagged
Yeah, I remember Trump’s praising of Michael, then the bashing. He also called him a “rat!” 🐀 Spoken like a real Don.
Trump sounds like a broken record. A scratched one. Psycobabble
Think about how you sound .. bet ,out super emotional being all these bogus case are falling apart ..
@@mushy2bc482 ....''Mushy'' is just about right....
If Trump wants to defend himself then take the stand honey.
Until then. Sit down.
America. Unites. Blue. 💙💙💙
@@mushy2bc482 What?!? Maybe you should learn to write ✍️ a cohesive response - 🫡!!!
@@mushy2bc482GET EDUCATED ASAP MUSHY.
Cohen already said early in the week that he wasn't going to talk about the trial. 🤔
He lied again.
Cohen stopped talking about Trump over a week ago.
If he's so innocent then why doesn't Trump testify ?
Because that's how the judicial system works here.
We all know Donald is a coward who will never testify. Nobody who is innocent uses delay tactics to the extreme and refuses to ever testify. The cult should be upset that Donald lied yet again about testifying.
Because no one knows what gooogooo gaga means!!
Because perjury is his worse nightmare. And no one want to hear him drone on and on and on about himself, because he will he can’t help it.
Unable to tell the truth about anything.
Just please dont play trumpft talking outside the court room.
I agree. It's just nonsense and repetitive . I turn it off.
For real! Omgosh! Enough of his bs! I mean come on already!
Head in the sand much Ms Ostrich?
SPELLING ISSUES?
I mute his BS and watch him play his invisible accordion in blissful silence 😊
We have the technology to allow testimony by video... why can't Weisselberg testify from his prison?
He’s in jail for lying.
The jury couldn’t believe anything he says.
why couldnt they bring weisselberg in for his testimony. the man is in rikers atm. they literally bring criminals from rikers on a daily bases for trial proceedings. the real reason is he won't help the prosecutions case. he will plead the 5th. as he has already been convicted there is no benefit from him throwing trump under the bus at this point.
HE WONT SAY A WORD AGAINST TRUMP
They don't need Weisselberg.
It’s not that he can’t…it’s that neither party wants him to…they can subpoena a prisoner if they wanted to…he’s in prison for perjury…he would be an almost useless witness for either side.
umm excuse me who is on trail!
I imagine quite a few Jeeps and hikers are on trail right now.
Who are the witnesses for the defense? That should be a short court segment.....
I don't think he has any !
@@bonnieprice9482 ALL the same people,he is just hoping they will change their testimony and then he will get up and say THAT IS ALL TRUE,in his best LYING fashion
Defense not allowed to know who appears next from State. Pomerantz , previous prosecutor to Bragg plead the fifth to to Jim Jordan denied. Top expert witness of Election finance law ..denied.
THERE IS HOPE! My die-hard right-wing family have freed themselves from Trump and his MAGA cult.
This comment makes my day!! 👍❤️ Biden 2024💙
You prefer communism?
No, socialism. MAGATT!!!
Instead this is prob a die hard leftist that makes up these switch parties dreams hes hallucinating about
How?
Michael went to jail for Trump , Trump then flung him under a bus . Micheal Cohen has every right to call Trump out everywhere. Just an opinion
Cohen has a right to voice his opinion and facts about TFG. Cohen did his time. Now it's time for TFG to go to prison, forever.
Yeh - Cohen did SOME time. Not enough for his decades of criminality with DJT.
Cohen didn’t do his time genius. He got released early for “good behavior.” Gee wondered what he did…. Oh look, now he’s against Trump
Why forever? Did he assassinate civilians with drone strikes or just abandon military personnel in a hostile country? Will that be the penalty for filing fraudulent taxes and illegally purchasing a dangerous weapon by a junkie? Acting as a foreign agent and pretending to be a gangster is just America culture.
Cohen is not on trial, tho. He did his time and now trump is crying, again no fair!!😂😂😂😂
So....when's Trump going to testify?
Why would anyone testify against themselves if they were thinking an appeal is the future?
When windmills kill whales.
trump always leaves someone to blame for everything done--I would believe Cohen over trump any day. Trump is just slimy!!
They are both major criminals. Cohen worked with Trump committing crimes for decades. He financed christmases and birthdays and family outings with his ill gotten gains. He's a criminal.
Especially since Cohen already went to prison for that con man, he knows the danger first hand.
THE 'PERFECT' NARCISSIST!!! With love from Holland 🇳🇱
He hasn't been talking about it t. He's but on trial he can talk about whatever he wants.
How much is Trump paying his X-employees to cry on the stand??
He pay,s in loaded diapers.
Crocodile tears anyway
The John Gotti trick paying off people and having the crew hand out free food etc around the district of where the crimes were done. Trying to buy the silance of the people only when needed.
The witnesses just read the death threats from MAGA and the tears come easily
1 is still a CURRENT employee????
Poke the orange bear and get it overwith, for goodnees sake
Trump looks ill; a lot of stress for a 78-year-old.
Well he brought it all on himself. Perhaps he should have thought about Karma taking a toll on him at one point before pretending to be a mobster.
@@headliner733and now those like Fani brought karma on themselves too. Nobody is immune from karma including you wishing that on someone else
Less stress than being president should be
All his own doing, crybaby and malignant narcissist
@@margestrong eh . . . trump is, by far, the most overdue for justice, karma, accountability . . . certainly more than anyone posting comments here, on CZcams . . .
Go, Michael! You're going to do great and help put Trump in prison... Thank you!
LOL.. Giving the kid coloring to do...What a joke... Keep the kid busy... what a joke
It is sad that a man running for President has to be kept occupied like a toddler😢
You can get the whole colour palette of Sharpies.
You can officially refer to anyone still bowing down to Trump as, "Those who worship evil's might!"
Why do you hate $2.30 gas? Hate lower food and energy costs?
Not bowing down to him. Just know lawfare and weaponization of the criminal justice when I see it. It's like pornagraphy. Hard to describe but recognize it when you see.

To be fair michael already stopped discussing trump before the judge said a word and hes served his time hes not the one on trial
Wow, what is the judge going to do, doesnt do anything significant to stop Trump's mouth.

Hardly a rebuke. Clickbait. 👎
Micheal has already said a week ago.
why does trumpft head always look square?
?
Because he's blockhead.
because the brain is round 🤣😂🤣
You need glasses maybe? I never noticed. Or the small hands. Maybe I need glasses 🤓🤦
Cohen should acknowledge and obey the judge's request. It will show how respect for the court should be shown. These comments from anyone, outside of the courtroom, mean nothing.
You're assuming the Trump cult has any semblance for the law, law enforcement, rules and social norms, Trump and his brood like Bannon have worked tirelessly to undermine many of our esteemed institutions. Bannon one of Trump's Senior Advisors political philosophy is to burn the government to the ground to begin a new in a more Authoritarian Totalitarianism system.
he's already stopped talking about the case and Dump over a week ago.
Aaaaand Cohen hasn’t threatened any witnesses or the jury… not even the orange thing.
Where have you been lately?
He hasn't spoken about tRump in weeks
Ostriches and kangaroos. Even fake news reported him in Trump in jail t shirt yesterday. He lied again when he said he wouldn't, but there he is every night at 10PM, his podcast.
Were there crowds of Trump supporters, " the likes of which heaven't been seen before" out in front of the court house today?

Tremendously beautifully BIGLY!
So looking forward to Trump taking the stand under oath !!Well he did say he would testify 😂.
I have no doubt that Trump would have no problem whatsoever lying under oath. He’s a psychopathic liar.
He also has been bragging for months that he had mountains of evidence that was going to totally exonerate him!!! Him and Alina Blah blah have said that! Imagine that, they lied! They have ZERO evidence to back any of his claims LIKE ALWAYS
He'll blame the judge, Biden, the weather and wind mills that they don't allow him to testify
@@walterbo7687 of course he will! I can't believe he actually tried to say the gag order he's under was preventing him from testifying!! So glad judge called him out on that!!

You need to pay closer attention. Hint: the crime is not about having sex with a porn star.

They already had the guy that created the records testify. The records were introduced. Weiselberg is the witness noone wants. The prosecution because he is a liar. The defense because he might slip and tell the truth.
Michael Cohen has not disparaged D J T in weeks! So put a sock in it!
I had no idea Trump had pardoned Jeanine Pirro's ex for tax evasion and many other counts
.......though she was a huge domestic abuse advocate, you would think Trumps sex offenses would be appalling to her. hmmmm I guess pardons are more important !

Country's in big time kaos and they're focused on some petty hush money case. Un believable.
🙄
It’s election interference and it’s very serious, genius 🙄
You're a Trump supporters right 🙄
Michael Cohen has stopped commenting on Trump (ages ago). He said for respect of Judge Merchan et al.
Ostriches and kangaroos. He has nightly 10 PM podcast. Says he can not sleep. Wonder why?
COHEN HAS NOT BEEN TALKING ABOUT THGE CASE THE BEST OF MY UNDERSTANDING, FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS.
Cohen is NOT threatening anyone, Cohen doesn't have a pack of nuts harming anyone. UNLIKE trumpo!
No gag order needed.
No one is threatening anyone besides the judge threatening everyone's faith in justice system. And hake news threatening all truth.
What is the actual crime? Nobody can even say what trump is being charged with. LOL 😆 liberal logic at it's finest
Omgosh! Get a life! Read what he’s charged with at any internet connection!
Business records being falsely recorded and election interference.
@Kwinters988 of course you can't say
The Narrative Fallacy (also, the Fable; the Poster Child) The ancient fallacy of persuasion by telling a "heartwarming" or horrifying story or fable, particularly to less-educated or uncritical audiences who are less likely to grasp purely logical arguments or general principles.
The Big Brain/Little Brain Fallacy (also, the Führerprinzip; Mad Leader Disease): A not-uncommon but extreme example of the Blind Loyalty Fallacy below, in which a tyrannical boss, military commander, or religious or✳️ cult-leader tells followers "Don't think with your little brains (the brain in your head), but with your BIG brain (mine)."
Blind Loyalty (also Blind Obedience, Unthinking Obedience, the "Team Player" appeal, the Nuremberg Defense): The dangerous fallacy that an argument or action is right simply and solely because a respected leader or source (a President, expert, one’s parents, one's own "side," team or country, one’s boss or commanding officers) says it is right. This is over-reliance on authority, a gravely corrupted argument from ethos that puts loyalty above truth, above one's own reason and above conscience.
Okay, I’ll say. 34 counts of falsifying business records. Almost a half a million dollars trump paid Mike Cohen to cover the hush payment plus money to cover his tax (50%bracket ), he claimed it as income, along with miscellaneous costs involved. All of which trump claimed as legal expenses. He stole from me and he stole you.

No, YOU DO...
Why would Mr. Cohen go to jail at the first place !?! And for whom ?
People wasting whatever time they have left being mean. One of them has to step down and stop.
This news reader is so fixed on racing through the text that she doesn't care if anyone can understand her. "130" what??? Not just that but throughout. Awful.
Wait, have you watched or listened to Mea Culpa, Political Beatdown or MeidasTouch? Michael hasn't said anything prejudicial, regarding the Orange Turd.
He's got a "posse" with him? He's been largely alone in the majority of the trial!
Cohen will know just how far to go and won't want to compromise the case, so the prosecution will be sound.
Just trying to figure out if someone on the jury was paid off YET to hang it after trial, so no verdict could be reached.
Also no Cohen bashing its not fair!
Talk about poisoning people's minds!
Nobody really knows Cohen's story unless you've read his book or seen his podcasts! He's not a lier because he lied then! Have any of you EVER LIED? I have...but that doesnt make me lier...
As far as I know, ONLY ONE person has a limited gag order.

COHEN HAS STOPPED CHATTING ABOUT HIS FORMER BOSS
SO YOUR TRYING TO SLING MUD AT HIM
just another example of the bias trump is facing in this trial
Cohen is a witness, not a defendant…. ! Womp womp Trump!
Why did it end early? Dragging it out
Trump whines it's going to fast and then whines it's going too slow. It's a trial. It takes as long as it takes and the most trump has to be there is about six hours per day, four days per week.
They won’t want to start a new ‘critical’ witness before the weekend. It’s in the best interest of the jury to have continuity.
Get it right, Michael Cohen out of respect for the judge, stopped talking about trump weeks ago , of his own choice !!!!!
People don't get it, spanky is the criminal defendant subjected to a gag order. The rest of us are just trying to stop the gag reflex.
You need three guys to explain this ?
