The “stunning” admission that Michael Cohen stole from the Trump Organization visibly shocked CNN’s Jake Tapper on Monday.
Cohen, the lawyer who made out the $130,000 hush money to former porn actress Stormy Daniels, told defense attorney Todd Blanche that he stole $30,000 from former President Donald Trump’s company to get himself bonus money he believed he deserved relating to the reimbursement deal.“It’s fascinating stuff, and I have to say, I’m still kind of reeling from the revelation that Michael Cohen stole money from the Trump Organization and that wasn’t, at least to my knowledge, that the prosecution didn’t get that out earlier

Also...the prosecution knowledge that Cohen committed felony theft against Trump...out of SPITE...and they didn't prosecute him, is "Brady Material", exculpatory for Trump, and impugning their own witness, they were/are required by law to divulge such information to the defense, during "Discovery", before the actual trial begins..

It’s not stunning. It is no surprise that Michael Cohen is a lying, criminal POS. The prosecutors knew all about this and tried to hide it. What is at least surprising is that Cohen confessed to larceny under oath. He has to already know he won’t be prosecuted or he would have kept his mouth shut. This is the worst abuse of our justice system I have ever seen. The prosecutors should all be disbarred.

Tapper and the other msm progressives have been holding out for a TKO and thought Cohen was it. They just can't handle the fact that this whole trial is progressive screwjob. They all need to be on suicide watch when the verdict comes out.

This trial is for one purpose, and only on purpose, and that is to keep President Trump off of the campaign trail and stuck in NYC for as long as is physically possible!!! Period!!!
They knew they had little chance of convicting him (though it is uber-lie-beral New York City, so anything is possible), but what this is costing President Trump is time -- which is a massively limited thing between now and November.
So this lawfare is doing exactly what they intended. My only prayer at this point is that this will so massively backfire on the Demon-Rats and Trump will win New York state in the November election. But other than that possibility, the Demon-Rats are getting everything they intended out of this bogus trial!!!

IMO Cohen had no choice but to admit to the theft. The defense had the proof and if he denied it he would have proven perjury against him.

Jake's a lot stupider than Capt. Renault.....the captain wasn't actually shocked. Idiot Brain Tapped Out apparently is so stupid that he has bought all the Bragg lies.

Tapper must have had his head in another galaxy if he was surprised to find out what a sleaze Cohen is…

They who live by the sword will die by the sword. Politically speaking, I hope that is the case with Democrats. Dirty as the day is long! Just once I’d like to see a Democrat campaign on competence and values — honestly, in a fair fight. But it’s the dirty party. Of course, the GOP could do with a proper house cleaning too!

The press are meant to be the eyes and ears of our citizenry but with liars and frauds like Tapper in charge we can’t possibly be informed and more and more Americans know it. He probably still believes Adam Schiff is a courageous truth teller, Eric Swalwell is a virtuous man, Nancy Pelosi is lovable and sane and AOC is smart. If this country is to survive with any shred of dignity they all should be punished severely.

One off-on-a-tangent question I have for the next Trump administration is how to improve the selection/hiring process so that he doesn’t wind up with staff like Cohen and some of the other “mistakes” that undermined effective governance during his first administration.

The judge now has two choices.
1) Dismiss the case on the grounds that the prosecution has not proved its case (and be a pariah in New York).
2) Let it go to the jury and risk being hammered into oblivion by an appeals court.
Won't be surprised if this guy retires after this case is done.

Cohen was yesterday's media darling, today's disappointment.

FTA: " ...this is crushing to the prosecution’s credibility because the prosecution did not ask Michael Cohen about that on direct and they haven‘t made him plead guilty to larceny,..."
Wanna bet that not prosecuting Cohen for larceny was the carrot to get him to be New York's "star witness"?

Tapper will also be 'shocked' to find out that CNN is not a professional news organization but a biased left wing hack outfit that doubles as a fax machine for the DNC. And no one in mainstream America really watches it.
