The prosecution tried to get ahead of the defense and soften the blow by ending with Cohen admitting to his previous lies, prosecutions and anti Trump motivations.

It's smart, but doubt it will do any good.

Prosecution: "We object to the defense being allowed to cross examine this witness"

Judge: "Sustained. You may be excused, Mr. Cohen"

Defense: "But, Your Hon..."

Judge: "Not another sound from you or you will be in contempt of this court."

Juan Merchan is a disgrace and will likely do everything he possibly can to limit Trump's cross of Cohen.

It took two Questions before the judge intervened

Going to be one hella of a battle this afternoon and tomorrow.

Judge Marchan will clearly display his conflicted corruption and Trump will have plenty to say after court ends

Would love to see the stats on sustained and overruled objections in this trial. I imagine it's laughable.

If I didn't give a frick, I'd ask the judge if he'd be more comfortable sitting with the prosecution

Cohen had explicit details about events 8 years ago but is now forgetful. This is the star witness? A convicted liar who says he will put Trump in jail and had great detail of exact conversations but now forgets what happened a month ago.

Merchan blows the whistle on the day. No court tomorrow, no court Friday.


So far no big fireworks from the Cohen cross. Blanche spent 2 hours trying to impeach Cohen as a witness. It was a question, an answer, go on to the next question. Didn't really hammer anything.

The prosecution has dragged this out for nearly a month... but Judge Merchan is ready for the defense to move it along after 2 hours cross exam of the "star witness"
