POINT: Here's Why What Michael Cohen is Doing is So Damaging to Every Day Americans/COUNTERPOINT: Michael Cohen Proves It: The President is a Crook
#1488
Welcome to a new edition of POINT -- COUNTERPOINT. On the heels of Michael Cohen's testimony before the House Oversight Committee, we have a Point stating that what Cohen is doing is damaging to Americans, while the Counterpoint says Cohen proved that Donald Trump is a crook. Here we go.

Michael Cohen has testified before Congress. America has now seen the very worst of what an attorney can be. His wanton breach of ethics has harmed not only the profession but, more importantly, the Americans it is meant to serve.
The purpose of the legal profession, or certainly should be, is to serve the interests of clients – not just rich clients, but every day Americans as well. In order to do that, it is the ethical requirement of every attorney in this country NOT to disclose the confidences of his or her client.
In New York, the cannon of ethics reads: “A lawyer shall not knowingly reveal confidential information . . . or use such information to the disadvantage of a client or for the advantage of the lawyer or a third person, unless . . . the client gives informed consent.”

Michael Cohen's dramatic testimony before the House Oversight Committee had many riveting moments. In his prepared remarks, Cohen said that then-presidential candidate Donald Trump had sent letters to his former schools and the College Board, threatening them with legal action should they release his transcripts or SAT scores respectively. There was Cohen's testimony detailing Trump's deeply racist beliefs. There was the peculiar scene of Republican congressmen attacking Cohen for committing crimes while employed by their own party leader.
But undoubtedly the key takeaway from Cohen's testimony is this: The president is a crook.
The most damning piece of evidence Cohen provided was a copy of the $130,000 hush money payment he made to Stormy Daniels — bribing her in October 2016 to keep quiet about allegedly having sex with Trump in 2006, just after his wife Melania had given birth to their son Barron. And contrary to Trump's insistence that Cohen did that on his own initiative, Cohen also provided copies of two reimbursement checks, one from Trump himself and one from the trust that owned his business, for $35,000 each in March and August 2017 — after he had become president.

A lot of what Cohen has stated is alleged.Cases have been lost because of circumstantial evidence. However if he does indeed have documentation stating otherwise that could potentially be the nail in the coffin.

While what you are saying is true, the same can be said in the opposite direction. There have been people put behind bars on a lot less.

I don't know. Cohen has credibility issues, to say the least, so I'm not willing to just accept what he says at face value. On the other hand, Trump also has major credibility issues, so I'm not willing to just accept his denials at face value.
I'll just wait to see the evidence, I suppose.

Trump just had to tweet about Cohen's testimony. Did he need a break from his social dinner in Vietnam?
So, okay, Trump just admitted he hired a crooked lawyer, had a crooked lawyer work for him for 10 years, to do all his crooked things.
Am I missing something here?
Notice that he is only trying to discredit Cohen? He’s not refuting a single charge or defending himself on anything. Interesting.

Refer to this current edition of FACT CHECK. There's a lot that Trump didn't cover, falsely or otherwise.
