Michael D. Cohen, Donald J. Trump’s former fixer, described Mr. Trump confirming a plan to pay him back for buying the silence of a porn star, Stormy Daniels. Mr. Trump faces 34 felony counts related to the reimbursement.
It’s funny because his lawyers are in court right now arguing that Michael Cohen did not act on Trump’s behalf. Meanwhile, there’s a parade of losers outside clearly acting on Trump’s behalf.
The defense lawyers don’t really have a coherent argument, but part of their strategy is to pretend Michael Cohen used his own home equity loan to pay off Stormy Daniels for no reason. As if that’s totally normal. We’ve all (at some point) acted in Donald Trump’s best interest, not at his direction, right?

That’s the thing that cracks me up. They’ve got to convince the jury that there are just rogue lawyers out there taking out home equity loans to protect their clients without discussing it with their clients. Like it’s just a completely normal thing to do.
Maybe Trump’s current team of lawyers will make their closing arguments and be like “and it turns out that during this trial, the entire defense team has mortgaged their houses to keep this trial going, all unbeknownst to our client. The defense rests.”
