    Oh please. 'Rat' doesn't describe Cohen. 'Redeemed' describes him better.
  • @Dragoninja
    Looks like Trump threw the Wrong Guy under the Bus. LOL LOL
  • @stardust4987
    It doesnt matter what Cohen did,what matters is what Trump did.

    When the master dog is not loyal to his loyal dog then we will see that dog will bark and bite the master!
  • @adamrussell658
    You call him a rat? What is he supposed to do - perjure himself? He has to tell the truth. If the truth hurts too bad.
  • ONLY A FOOL WOULD THINK MICHEAL WOULD COMMIT PERJURY AGAIN. HE'S SERVED HIS TIME AND ISN'T LOOKING TO GO BACK!
  • Cohen may have actually gotten Trump ‘elected’ in 2016, so jury still out on redemption. I’d still call him an American hero for taking a stand against the orange tyrant and his hoard of zombie MAGOT’s (thanks Micheal)
  • @mvvpro8688
    If you would not allow a convicted criminal or liar to testify, how could any member of an organized crime organisation like the mob ever he held accountable? Or Donald Trump, which is basically the same question.
  • @LerockJohn
    The whole Cohen story deserves a full length movie. Talk about character arc!
  • @petewilliam4295
    mafia boss always says he is innocent and the little guy takes the fall
  • The difference is, is that he acknowledged he was wrong and has paid his debt and is working on being a good human. A rat testifies to not get jail time.
  • You know, I'm going to be honest I'm having trouble taking this whole thing seriously when your making literal godfather references in the middle of the trial.
  • @meeeka
    Just an observation: Could they find a worse courtroom sketch artist?
  • @seantlewis376
    I'm reminded of Robert Duvall's character in The Godfather, the consigliere for the Corleones. When taking down a mob boss, the only witnesses available will be people with dirty hands. If Macbeth had survived to the end, Lady Macbeth was the one with the most intimate knowledge, but had spots on her hands she couldn't take out.

    Funny how Diaper Don wouldn't pardon Cohen, but he was happy to pardon his pal who was his go between to Putin...
