Norm Eisen: We See Convictions All the Time with Witnesses Who Have Crimes Far Worse than What Michael Cohen Did

EXCERPT:

EISEN: “I thought Michael Cohen did the one thing that he had to do. He was honest with the jury about what happened. He was not defensive. Susan Hoffinger had planted the seed. She was careful to bring it out again, as we have discussed when you previously testified. I have a different view, sitting in the courtroom, that Michael Cohen, of course, has a checkered past. But we see convictions, all the time, with cooperators, who have far worse histories, contract killers, mobsters, those who’ve peddled drugs to our kids. And yet, you get convictions. The one thing that a witness has to do is tell the truth. Michael Cohen did his best, including today. I thought it was good enough.”
