The landmark trial will kick back off in Manhattan with more defense cross-examination of former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.

Right wing news went so hard painting Cohen as some unhinged, unreliable, and untrustworthy witness who was bent on revenge. His testimony was clear, calm, and humble, devoid of venom or vindication.

After reading Costello’s testimony, they were clearly projecting.
- Costello's sheepishness after the judge cleared the room and took him down a couple notches was epic.
  
  He realized the judge was getting a cell ready for him.
Reading them say that "Trump is the victim" and "There is no crime." Absolutely disgusting... The jury better convict him, because I don't think I can stand to see his smug, shit eating grin after yet another injustice...
- "There is no crime!"
  
  "Why did Michael Cohen go to prison for 3 years for his part in it if there was no crime?"
  
  ". . ."
Not just a defense witness, a former federal prosecutor. A judge had to tell a former federal prosecutor “And then if you don’t like my ruling, you don’t give me side eye and you don’t roll your eyes.” like he was a pouty teenager.
