we expect michael cohen to take the stand. here's why michael cohen's testimony is so important. to this point. i think prosecutors have done an efficient, solid workman like job of establishing the basic fundamentals that they have to show. but there's still is a missing link which is directly tying donald trump to knowledge of the reimbursement scheme. the way that michael cohen was paid back in 2017 with this series of checks and that it was it's done intentionally to try to cover up the hush money payments. we have a lot of documents and testimony around that point. and as that has made that point more plausible for the jury. but michael cohen, it now appears quite clear is going to be the only person who's going to say directly donald trump knew what was going on. perhaps i discussed it with him. he was in on it. he was in on the falsification. and so what the prosecution has been trying to do, and i think with some effectiveness is sort of narrow the gap that michael cohen is going to have to take the jury over and wheth
