45th President Of The United States, Donald Trump (Vol. 14)
Discussion
From what I have seen of the trial analysis, the prosecution knew Cohen was the least trustworthy witness which is why they put him last after all the evidence had already been put in place by the previous witnesses. All Cohen did was confirm what the previous witnesses had testified to.

If that is the case there are going to be millions of convictions in the US being thrown out becuase the evidence being provided to convict someone is coming from another person that has dodgy past. Criminals grassing each other up is all part of the US justice system, get your plea in first and you get a lighter sentence.
Understood, though my point (concern) is that this newly introduced and less well-known factor, illustrating Cohen's less than stellar character only needs to sway one juror for Trump to wriggle out of this. Indisputable evidence aside - just one of them has a niggle of doubt and he walks.Matt Harper said:

trump campaign blames a staffer working on his pwn initiative for the Reich video - same excuse trump had tried in every court case. It wasn't me it was someone else... but came as trump was reposting lots last night and ranting.
“This was not a campaign video, it was created by a random account online and reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word, while the President was in court,” said Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt.

The Judge's summing up & instructions to the Jury will be key.
Yesterday Justice Merchan limited the admissible testimony of the defense’s potential campaign finance expert witness, because he wanted to define the law, which Merchan said was his job. Now apparently their witness says he won’t testify after all.Don Jnr has turned up for the trial today and Rep. Trey Gowdy

Don Trump, Jr., Matt Whitaker, Pam Bondi, Sen. Eric Schmitt, Rep. Daniel Webster, Rep. Dan Meuser, Rep. Ronny Jackson, Rep. Troy Nehls, Rep. Dale Strong, Rep. Maria Salazar, Sebastian Gorka, Chuck Zito, Joe Piscopo, Bill White

Costello is back on the stand and faces cross from the prosecution, who are shhowing hi up as trumps lacky for wanting to represent Cohen to keep him compliant and not threaten trump.
Emails from Cohen telling Costello to stop contacting him, that he was big friends with Giuliani.
Costello denies all so Hoffinger just brings out more emails refuting his denials...
Edit: More emails showing Costello attempting to establish the Cohen-Costello-Giuliani-Trump backchannel in real time, trying to keep Cohen loyal to trump.
Costello just characterizes it as "getting everyone on the same page."
Cohen didn't want Costello,didn't trust him yet Costello boasts to his son
Not sure he was the killer witness against Cohen that trump thought he would be. It seemed he was there to throw dirt at Cohen but missed? More seemed to undermine his testimony.
