(2,187 posts)Because the crime is so egregious, he doesn't have much of a defense! He's such a douche canoe.

(11,257 posts)Wouldn't it take another witness to corroborate? Are you just referring to the phone calls to blocked lines?

(30,613 posts)We are being told there's no direct audio of the conversation where Trump was told about it, but there's probably related material.

(6,476 posts)you could have one witness say the Barn is Red and another say it was Blue and the jury gets to decide which witness is more credible and can disregard the direct testimony of a discredited witness

(13,571 posts)Lanny Davis says that Trump team released that story to CNN.
It was a set up -- a ratf*ckery by Giuliani. Release that story to CNN as if it came from Cohen, and then Giuliani has a big interview with Cuomo to beat up Cohen. Why?
1. To get ahead of that story, which the base won't believe anyway.
2. To work Cohen over in the media.
3. Shiny object to capture headlines.
CNN fell for it, and the story has been distorted from that moment.

(22,007 posts)He just said Cohen's team did not and and he didn't understand what would motivate Trump's team to release it (paraphrased).
That's entirely different.

(49,390 posts)the meeting (11 min.) via blocked number. Cohen still could've been present when Jr. first told Trump about the meeting. Both could be true.
Jr. told senate committee he didn't know if Trump had a blocked number. Lewendowsky stated Trump has a blocked number. I think it would be safe to say Jr. Was lying.
