Michael Cohen

And everyone seems to always get it wrong.

So just to remind everyone, the falsification, the alleged falsified records that Trump was charged with falsifying related to these payments to Michael Cohen that were allegedly internal records that were allegedly mislabeled as for legal services as opposed to reimbursements for payments to Stormy Daniels.

And for this to be a felony, it was charged under New York law as falsification of business records in the first degree, which requires that not only have business records been falsified with intent to defraud, but that that intent to defraud included intent to commit another crime or to aid in the concealment or commission thereof.

So that raises the question, what is the other crime that Trump tried to commit or conceal by falsifying these records? And the DA, Alvin Bragg, alleged that Trump had intent to commit or conceal the commission of New York election law 17152, which basically criminalizes a conspiracy to report promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means.

Everybody's always dispensable from from Marjorie Taylor Greene to Kayleigh McEnany to Rex Tillerson to.

to Michael Cohen, to George Papadopoulos, Gordon Sondland.

I mean, it's just a name.

Gordon Sondland,

Stacey Plaskett won a governor's race in, I think, the Virgin Islands in...

She was the woman back in Trump's first term when Michael Cohen was getting questioned before Congress, was coordinating talking points literally with Jeffrey Epstein and then asking them during that hearing.

And anyway, she got elected to a government.

That's

We'll be right back.

This is Michael Cohen and you're listening to the Mayor Culper Podcast.

Earlier this week, The Atlantic released a video that showed Donald Trump uttering the five words he has refused to say for over a year.

I didn't win the election.

But what they didn't do is fight a sort of similar political battle by saying, pointing out all that had happened, starting with Merrick Garland, to absolutely stack the court in a conservative hammerlock that I think really is out of step with the legal profession and with most Americans.

So we could talk about this for a long time, but the short answer to your question is, I think, why did they do it? Because that's their base, and they're looking up to the midterms in a very kind of demagogic, three-word slogan.

Michael Bennett did my podcast yesterday.

He said the problem with Democratic messaging is you always need the other bumper sticker.

Middle East.

And Michael Cohen.

Well, it's back from the Upper East Side.

Back from the Upper East Side is right.

And again, that would reflect very badly on Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Commerce Secretary.

So there are a lot of people who are going to be taken down by this.

Oh, wow, Michael Cohen.

Michael Cohen, you wanted to say something.

I didn't just vote for him three times.

I literally wrote the column called America First that his lawyer at the time, Michael Cohen, Mickey, he went by Mickey, said that then citizen Trump, private citizen Trump, read and loved and the three things that i wrote i said the next president will be if this president will speak out on open borders defend the country's borders and start deporting illegals and endless wars especially in the middle east and stop these disastrous free trade deals i said whoever captures america first on immigration on foreign policy and on trade, will not just be the next Republican nominee, but will be the next president of the United States.

And Trump read it.

Mickey Cohen, in fact, sent me copies of parts that were highlighted by Trump himself.

She's just the latest in a long list of Trump administration figures, figures or Trump world figures to be.

Summarily discarded once they lose their political usefulness from Michael Cohen to George Papadopoulos, Gordon Sondland, Kayleigh McEnany, Ronna McDaniel, Mike Pence, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The list goes on and on.

These people.

He represents me.

For years, Michael Cohen served as Donald Trump's personal attorney and fixer, witnessing Washington and presidential politics from the inside.

Now, he's pulling back the curtain with unfiltered analysis and the truth behind the headlines.

This is not about Donald Trump versus Michael Cohen.

This is about accountability.

He wasn't

He was helping make it.

This is when you know you know.
