Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), client of Justice Juan Merchan’s daughter’s consulting firm, said Tuesday he prepared Michael Cohen for his testimony in the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump.

Goldman’s preparation of Cohen appears to raise a conflict of interest.

Goldman paid more than $157,000 dollars to the political consulting firm of Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, Federal Election Commission disbursement filings obtained by Breitbart News show

“How on earth can you have someone who pays off the judge’s family deliberately coaching witnesses in the trial, and call it a fair trial?” CEO of the Federalist Sean Davis questioned on X. “You can’t. This entire thing is a farce.”
Goldman met with Cohen “a number of times to prepare him” for testifying, he said in passing while appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe:

"I have deposed Michael Cohen, and I have met with him a number of times to prepare him. This [Trump trial] was different testimony than what his demeanor was during the AG’s case. This is different than he has been in the past. But the question is not how he is on direct examination. The question is how he is on cross examination."

Goldman, running in New York, is part of a new cohort of left-wing prosecutors who have brought their “woke” left-wing ideas into law enforcement, where their mission is to liberate criminals through “reform,” while persecuting conservatives.

He was once an obscure former Southern District of New York prosecutor who appeared occasionally on MSNBC, where he helped spread the “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory. Notably, he was taken in by Christopher Steele’s so-called “pee tape.”

He then found his way to the House Intelligence Committee, where he was employed as Schiff’s committee counsel. In that role, he led the impeachment investigation — such as it was — into President Donald Trump’s supposedly scandalous phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.

Goldman was also among the top stock traders in 2023. He reportedly beat the market by 52.8 percent.

Maybe aided by inside information.

If President Trump is convicted in this sham court, he will have multiple avenues of appeal. Unfortunately it will take years to be vindicated.

Worth a listen

Yes, a conviction would never stand up on appeal, but of course that's not the ultimate goal. It's simply to have a conviction before the election, which they may well get in this case. Though I believe it'll end up being a hung jury.

Democrats are truly vile.

Incredible testimony before a House committee on “Lawfare” tactics from the Biden administration

Wooooooo another committee hearing! Just more waste of time and money.

Jim Jordan should be forced to wear a suit jacket until someone he hauls up there for a hearing actually goes to jail. That would learn him.

Do you imagine those in Congress have any power to put people in jail?

These hearings do have a purpose and a benefit, but it's only to those who care to listen or pay attention. They put people on the record. I'd rather have them than not, as long as the good guys (our side) are the ones leading the hearings.

They actually do with contempt of Congress charges and they should certainly be sending criminal referrals to DOJ, which would obviously do nothing. But at least it would further expose the corruption of the weaponized federal agencies.

Again, they have no power to put anyone in jail.

The DOJ and Congress are not the same thing.

There is a jail cell in the US Capitol and it very much can be used to hold someone found in contempt of Congress. It will probably never happen with the Uniparty running things, but it's there.

Our judicial system is already a subjective, politicized mess... probably best if actual politicians don't start locking folks up.

Good. Mercilessly mock these clowns at any opportunity.

Cohen Destroyed: Trump Lawyer "Dog Walks" Star Witness Through Lie After Lie, CNN Pundits Aghast

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...fter-lie-cnn-pundits

President Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen had his "knees chopped out" by Donald Trump's defense attorneys in cross-examination during Trump's 'hush money' trial.

Cohen was grilled by Trump attorney Todd Blanche about a pivotal phone call that connected Trump to allegations that he approved reimbursements to pay porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. In one exchange, Blanche accused Cohen of lying about speaking with Trump on the phone in October 2016 to reassure his boss that he was handling the payment to Daniels.

Blanche then confronted Cohen with text messages that contradicted the lie - revealing that Cohen in fact spoke with Trump's bodyguard, Keith Schiller.

Trump attorney Todd Blanche grilled him about a pivotal phone call that had connected President Trump to the allegations at the center of the case. He accused Mr. Cohen of calling the former president’s bodyguard, Keith Schiller, to complain about harassing phone calls—not to disclose an update on a plan to purchase the silence of Ms. Clifford.

Mr. Cohen said that the prank calls were a part of the conversation with Mr. Schiller.

“Now your memory is that you were testifying truthfully on Tuesday, and you had enough time to update Mr. Schiller about all the problems you were having with these harassing calls?” Mr. Blanche asked him.

“I always run everything by the boss immediately,” Mr. Cohen said. “It could’ve just been me saying, ‘everything’s been taken care of, it’s been resolved.’”

“That was a lie. You did not talk to President Trump that night,” Mr. Blanche said. “You can admit it.” “No sir, I can’t,” Mr. Cohen said. “Because I’m not sure that’s accurate.”

“This jury doesn’t want to hear what you think happened,” Mr. Blanche said.

Cohen appeared blindsided by the line of questioning, and wavered in his recollection of the phone call before blurting out "I believe I was telling the truth!"

After Cohen had his ass handed to him, CNN pundits were beside themselves.

"It was incredible...lawyers want to build a box around the witness & slam it shut--that's what Todd Blanche did to Cohen...it was an extraordinary cross...Cohen was cornered in...a lie," said host Anderson Cooper.



The network's top legal analyst said "I don't think I've ever seen a star witness get his knees chopped out quite as clearly and dramatically as what just happened with Michael Cohen."
