Michael Cohen Blows Up the Trump Prosecution

The decidedly fixed New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s corrupt prosecution against Donald Trump has been caught out by summoning Michael Cohen, a seriously admitted lying key “witness,” to the stand.

Here’s but one of many headlines on this disaster, this one from Fox News:

NY v Trump: Michael Cohen admits to stealing tens of thousands from former president’s business

Cohen told the court he did not repay the Trump Org for the mishandled funds

The story reports:

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen admitted in testimony Monday that he stole thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization by overstating how much he paid a tech company that provided services for the Trump Organization.

“You stole from the Trump Org, right?” Trump attorney Todd Blanche asked Cohen Wednesday morning.

“Yes, sir,” Cohen responded.

Well now.

And on and on — and on and on — went the testimony of Cohen, who admitted repeatedly that he had not only stolen Trump’s money but also lied.

All this perfectly sums up the underlying fact of this trial: This is nothing more or less than an effort by the former president’s decidedly partisan enemies to weaponize the law to, as Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz has so aptly titled his book on the case, “Get Trump.”

And in pursuing their obsession, as Michael Cohen has vividly illustrated, the only thing these enemies have accomplished is gutting their own credibility.

Not to mention that all of this circus — the presiding judge, who is a Biden campaign contributor; the judge’s daughter, who is a far-leftist political activist; and the Democrat district attorney, who has now outsmarted himself by depending on an admitted serial liar to make his case — is now backfiring big time.

Again, note this alone from the New York Post:

Dem clients of daughter of NY judge in Trump hush-money trial raised $93M off the case

All by itself, that should have the presiding judge recusing himself.

But it hasn’t.

This entire episode in the “Get Trump” saga has backfired — and backfired big time.

This circus has caused the American people not to abandon Trump but to rally to him, as noted a while back in this space. (READ THE PIECE: Trump and the Significance of the Wildwood Rally)

Meanwhile, in contrast, the hard Left has its hordes swarming college campuses and shutting them down outright or causing chaos because they have not supported the Jew-hating terrorists in Gaza. You can’t make it up.

Back in the mid-’60s, the Left was busy launching one riot after another. In 1967 alone there were, the record shows, over 150 riots spread out across the country. The riot in Newark, New Jersey, killed 26 and injured 1,500. The riot in Detroit killed 43, injured 2,250, and resulted in 4,000 arrests. The political result? The election of the Republican Party’s Richard Nixon to the White House.

Now, clearly, today’s Left is on the road toward more of this kind of crazy.

But all these years later, the No. 1 goal is to Get Trump. And a decidedly corrupt legal and political establishment has weaponized the law to accomplish this objective.

This time around, though, the establishment has depended on Michael Cohen to make its case. Instead, Cohen has blown the case up.

Ahhh, the irony.

The question that should start to be asked now: When will Trump’s corrupt prosecutors be investigated and prosecuted themselves? Prosecuted for weaponizing — corrupting — the legal system to target a political opponent?

Stay tuned. As the Michael Cohen disaster for the prosecution has vividly illustrated, the drive to Get Trump — a class A example of election interference — is backfiring.

And backfiring big time.
