Balls

"So I said, Michael, tell me about the NDA. Tell me about Stormy Daniels. What did you do? He said, I got a call from a lawyer representing Stormy Daniels who represented that she was going to testify that Donald Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. Michael Cohen said, I didn't believe the allegation, but I knew that such an allegation would be terribly embarrassing." "He said, it would be embarrassing. He focused on Melania Trump. He said, I didn't want to embarrass Melania Trump. He said, that's why I decided to take care of this on my own. I went back to that several times." "You did this on your own? On my own. Did Donald Trump have anything to do with it? No. Did you get the money from Donald Trump? No. From any of his organizations? No. From anybody connected to Donald Trump? No. Where did you get the money? I took out a HELOC loan against my property." "I said, why would you do that? He said, I didn't want anybody to know where I got this money. I didn't want Melania to know. I didn't want my own wife to know, because she's in charge. He said, of the Cohen family finances, he said, if she saw money coming out of my account, she'd ask me a hundred questions and I didn't want to answer any of them." "It was clear after talking to him for several days after that, whenever we talked on the phone or in my office, that he kept on bringing up the subject that he felt he was betrayed by not being brought down to Washington DC. This guy thought, he said to me that he should have been Attorney General of the United States, or at least the chief assistant to the president." That devastating Congressional testimony was from former Cohen legal adviser Robert Costello. THIS is the real reason why corrupt Judge Merchan shut down the courtroom and excoriated Robert Costello.
