Gregg Jarrett: Will Jury Convict Purely for Political Reasons? That’s What Alvin Bragg Is Counting On

TRANSCRIPT:

JARRETT: "But I will say that Cohen failed to connect Trump to any crimes. I know the prosecutors know that, so tomorrow they will try to change things; Sean. Cohen will probably do what he always does best. He will lie, he’ll say, 'Oh, yes, Trump ordered me to falsely record these expenses as legal expenses.' The trouble is, that’s going to be a tough sell because today he recounted all the legal actions he took that constituted legal expenses. I'm not sure he understood it because he is not a bright guy. The real test for Michael Cohen, Sean, will be cross-examination. The defense will spend a full day confronting him with his innumerable lies and then they will ask the question one by one, 'Were you lying then or are you lying now?' And once these jurors see some of the seething, unhinged, lunatic rants by Cohen on TikTok, they are going to hate him. But the question is, do they hate Donald Trump more? Will they acquit because there’s no evidence of crimes or convict for purely political reasons? That's what Alvin Bragg is counting on because, Sean, he has no case."
