      I agree, and the fact he points out the T-shirt, not fact checking who is selling the shirt, and how Michael rebutted Blanche's questioning about the shirt as he is sitting in the witness box in court! Shame on MSNBC! Will look elsewhere for my news coverage, and I like Ari, but this is not right nor objective.

      @loripatterson1746 The thing that stood out to me about Ari was his being objective and fair. He didn't allow his feelings to spill over into how he covered a story.
      Michael Cohen is the only person I have seen Ari Melber report on in this subjective manner. Like I said, "What's up Ari."
      Because of this I no longer trust his take on the news.

      Michael Cohen is now telling the truth, but he also did everything he could, legal and illegal, to support Trump and get him elected President.
      Cohen is no hero, and would still be a sleazy Trump supporter if Trump had only rewarded him more. Cohen is an amoral grifter just as much as Stone, Bannon, etc.

      FACTS: "The Trump hush money case is underway in New York. Of all legal cases against Trump, this one is the weakest and most absurd of all. It involves an alleged misdemeanor on which the statute of limitations has already expired, in conjunction with another alleged misdemeanor on which the statute of limitations has also expired, both part of an alleged election interference conspiracy that other courts have already said isn’t a crime. Got that? Also, the bookkeeping violation supposedly involving election interference took place after the election was already over. Even liberal legal scholars can’t find a crime here." --J.

      For me, it was the grossing up scheme to hide the dollar amount.
      Without that bank statement, the case would be a lot shakier.

    How can anyone feel that Cohen should not feel the way he does? But now the scales are definitely off, he sees Trump for what he is now

      What does that have anything to do with the case? I understand that there's been no information to say president Trump is guilty of any of this.

      He has only convinced everyone hes a liar and a sleaze. He has not revealed any crime that Trump committed. Do you believe in Unicorns?

    Cohen's testimony was 'SUPERB' today. He acknowledged his mistakes; and he has honestly corrected his life in a decent lawful manner. There is a 'BIG' difference between the former and Cohen.
