100 CENTRE ST
COURT,
May 16 – In the Trump Trial,
Michael Cohen's second day of
cross examination heated up
just before lunchtime.
Trump's lawyer
Todd Blanche, who had been
looping around for some time,
zeroed in on fourteen minutes
on October 4, 2016.
It was just
past 8 pm on that day that
Cohen testified he had texted
and then called Trump's body
guard Keith Schiller, to tell
Trump that the Stormy Daniels
matter had been taken care of.
The call, the
record of which was put into
evidence by the prosecutors,
was one minute and thirty-six
second long.
Blanche
turned the clock back a
quarter of an hour. He got
Cohen to acknowledge or
remember - depending on one's
perspective; maybe just, he
got Cohen to say - that Cohen
had been receiving harassing
calls for three days and
finally the harasser forgot to
block their
number.
Cohen
texted the number, that he
would be turning it over to
the Secret Service. He said he
learned, or was told, that it
was a 14
year-old.
And then he texted Keith
Schiller, asking him to act on
it.
One
question arose, or was
shouted: was it possible that
Cohen had reached out to Keith
Schiller, at same time, about
the harassing 14 year old and
about having taking care of
the Stormy Daniels
matter?
Stepping
back, was Cohen testifying
based on documents he was
given by the prosecutors, from
AT&T, or from his own
memory? And would or should it
matter?
