Cohen’s Not Wrong

After watching a clip of Blanche explaining how he might appeal the devastating verdict and attacking Cohen as a witness, the former Trump lawyer stated, "You know I have a name for Todd, it's called 'SLOAT —stupidest lawyer of all time.'" 
"Let me be very clear Todd, because I'm sure he's watching like everyone else," he continued. "He's the stupidest lawyer of all time. Why? You don't make the defense of a case like this 'Let's discredit one of the witnesses, let's discredit the narrator of the story.' There are 19 other people that were called by the district attorney, by prosecutors ... 19 people testified which all corroborated, again, the narrative of my story. What I had been saying again for six years, corroborated by 19 independent people, some of whom still work for Trump and remain loyal to him." 
Asked if Trump was "calling the shots," Cohen explained, "Guaranteed it was Donald Trump calling the shots. I saw him do it 2007 when I started working for him. He calls the shots, it's the wrong thing to do, you don't allow your client dictate to you the terms of your defense especially when you're talking about something as serious as this case."
I can think of a lot of lawyers who would not have let their client determine their legal strategy. Then again, Donald Trump wouldn’t have hired them.

Blanche deserves the criticism, and his career is in the crapper. But ETTD; and that’s going to include Trump. He is his own worst enemy.
