Agreed. Cohen's description fits Blanche perfectly. Gonna be an interesting cross examination. emulatorloo May 2024 #6

Per Politico, Merchan called the lawyers to a sidebar and struck Blanche's question from the record. ancianita May 2024 #23

My guess as well. ShazzieB May 2024 #37

Sounds to me that Cohen was telling the truth twice. Once when he said it and the second when he said it sounded like dem4decades May 2024 #5

Exactly. Cohen gets points for telling the truth. Irish_Dem May 2024 #9

Blanche was actually objecting to the word "little" which he considered to be sexist. Ping Tung May 2024 #22

While shut-eyed Trump defies the process, Todd Blanche talks to Cohen like a prosecutor. Because that's his goal. ancianita May 2024 #27

He's doing the same self-revealing tactic Neckeles used-- viva la May 2024 #31

Agree. He's prosecuting Cohen to distract from the fact of the smoking gun document. It won't work ancianita May 2024 #32

I hope that Cohen gets asked if he referred to Trump as Von Shitzenpantz. 3Hotdogs May 2024 #38

Did he?? I thought that came from somewhere else. ancianita May 2024 #42
