number two, he really attacked michael cohen's credibility. he basically made a case that over the years, michael cohen has lied and has light whenever it has suited him. whenever he needs something, he lies. he lied allegedly before the judge who presided in his 2010 tax evasion and false statements case. todd blanche set michael cohen, you said you weren't being quiet and taking a guilty plea. now you are saying that he felt assured and you only had 48 hours to plead and you wanted to protect your wife. he admitted to that on the stand. so, the portrait that is emerging is that michael cohen lies with abandon, lies with ease and todd blanche was saying it is all in the motivation to get whatever you want. in this case, it is to see trump in jail. >> let me just say, the timing of those lies, he had not served time in jail with those lies that he previously presented. is that at all something that has made its way diffuse through the courtroom and that is the money? >> no, and it is because it got lost in the theatrics. todd blanche, at some

cohen and his recollection of events, focusing on these phone calls that michael cohen said he had with trump's bodyguard about the stormy daniels matter. not until then the jurors picked up and became interested again. again, it was poor timing on the part of todd blanche because this happened right before the lunch break. he did not get to carry that momentum into the afternoon session which is when he finally got around to the substance of the case. >> barb, we have heard from the prosecution that michael cohen will be the last witness called in their case. do you think there was a strategic error that we will not hear from keith schiller, maybe another witness? >> number one i never wanted to start or stop with a cooperator because they have issues and they know that. i wanted to start and end on a high note. they will do a redirect on michael cohen and, emphasized the key things of the testimonyh maybe they considered that to be a high note. i wanted a safe with to conclude to finish strong. to your point about keith schiller, i think the jury will wonder where they were, they are

with michael cohen, that's clear. but the question, will the jury credit enough testimony of michael cohen to find trump guilty. it's up to the jury the end of the day. aishah: mark, would it be smart for the defense to rest with the last witness being michael cohen? that's the smart thing to do, right? >> if you feel the things is going your way. if the trend is your friend in a criminal case, yes, you don't want to do anything to disrupt the trend. if they feel they've destroyed michael cohen and good about how the jury reacted and they're watching the jury every moment of this trial, if they feel good about the trend, i would let sleeping dogs lie. sit down, move for directed verdict and go to closing arguments if that's the trend. right now it looks like the trend is very favorable in the courtroom for president trump. aishah: talk to me about judge marchand and these jury instructions now it's on the jury, right? we've got 12 jurors, seven of them are men, five women and two, this is big, two are attorneys, lawye

some of what michael cohen said, i did find it believa-bull. i mean, in the sense that they harb to they discussed his vindictiveness and here was a man who spent ten days. i mean, ten years skews me, with donald trump doing everything that donald trump wanted him to do? yes. i think that part was believable and i think the reason for his thing dictum this is believable two, because in essence, donald trump just pushed them under the bus when he got indicted so i think there are things that can't be believed, but in terms of reasonable doubt, which is what the prosecution has to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. if there's one or two or however many jurors that do not believe that have some reasonable doubt about michael cohen's testimony that totally ends up with either a hung jury if they cannot convict on all 12 or i don't think it would be at night guilty with what the prosecution has put on i think that would their two more towards a hung jury, so yes, everything does in a certain matter depend on michael cohen. >> all right. we'
