Cohen could not be trusted and this entire sham trial has been built on a Foundation Of Sand politicized sand i might add. And today we were proven right, again. In a Bombshell Moment during crossexamination, defense attorney Todd Blanche Masterfully and singlehandedly destroyed what little shred of credibility Michael Cohen may have had left.
