This is the Democrats’ star witness. America under the party of treason is the laughingstock of the world.
🚨 Cohen just testified to stealing $30,000 from the Trump Organization.
This is their star witness? 100% shameless witch hunt. https://t.co/tUTKJr4U6j

This is the exact thing Donald Trump is accused of doing. Guardian: Trump lawyer Todd Blanche is offering an alternative explanation for the jury about why the repayment to Michael Cohen was “grossed up” – doubled for tax purposes. Cohen was paid a bonus of $150k in 2015, but only got a $50k bonus in 2016. Blanche argues Cohen used the repayment scheme to get himself the bonus money he thought he was owed. The logic appears to go like this: Cohen paid the IT company RedFinch $20k during the 2016 campaign. But Cohen told Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg that he needed to be paid back $50k. That meant Cohen stole $30k from the Trump Org. As the payment was “grossed up”, Cohen actually made $60k. “So you stole from the Trump Organization?” Blanche asks. “Yes sir,” Cohen concedes (Guardian).

Byron York: CNN analyst notes that Michael Cohen’s admission of stealing $60,000 from his employer is ‘a higher degree of crime than what Trump is charged with’ (X).
I am out of the courtroom. It was quite a morning to have someone admit to stealing money from his client and then confirm that he wants to run for Congress. It will be a novel campaign: people usually wait to get into Congress before they commit major felonies…

…Committing major larceny is not a particularly appealing pitch for taking an office with the power over the purse. Then again, Cohen can claim that Congress cannot possibly corrupt him . . . he was corrupt before he went to Congress.

It appears Judge Merchan will prevent former FEC Chair Brad Smith—a solid, credible witness—on to rebut some of the self-serving testimony of prosecution witnesses. And Merchan allowed Stormy Daniels’ salacious testimony, which was devoid of relevance to the case. Pure prejudice. pic.twitter.com/gflXvS17gV

The Democrats are a grave threat to our Constitutional Republic.
