If I didn’t know any better, I would almost think Michael Cohen is purposely sabotaging this case against Donald Trump.
Either that or the man really is wildly inept and incompetent.
Because it’s almost getting comical at this point.
It also proves Alvin Bragg (who some of you have dubbed “Fat Alvin”) is also wildly inept and incompetent because it’s mind-boggling to think he actually CHOSE to play this tape.
This should be evidence submitted by the Defense, but it was submitted by Bragg himself.
Check it out:
Listen to the for yourself right here:
So the tape proves that President Trump had no idea what Cohen was even talking about….Cohen is the one devising this plan and telling Trump how he’s going to handle things.
Trump seems a bit confused about what Cohen is even talking about.
Talk about a self-inflicted injury! I can’t believe Bragg played this!
Now compare this to what we learned yesterday….it was Cohen who claims he (Cohen) took out a $130,000 home equity line of credit to get the money to pay Stormy Daniels:
If I didn’t know any better, all of this evidence continues to support a story where COHEN is the one having the affair with Stormy Daniels and then trying to cover it up, not Trump.
Doesn’t that fit the puzzle pieces almost perfectly?
I explain it all right here:
BREAKING: Michael Cohen Took Out a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on HIS HOUSE To Pay Stormy Daniels — Makes No Sense!
This story (and “Get Trump Lawfare”) continues to get weirder by the day.
It’s almost beginning to look as if it were Michael Cohen and not Donald Trump having the affair with Stormy Daniels.
We just learned today that Michael Cohen decided to take out a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on HIS OWN PERSONAL HOUSE in order to pay Stormy Daniels the so-called “hush money”.
I’ll break down all my thoughts on that down below, but first just watch this:
More here:
Quick summary:
Michael Cohen testified that he used a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to fund the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. He explained that he chose this method because it allowed him to access the funds without directly withdrawing a large sum from his joint bank account with his wife, which he believed would have raised questions or concerns from her. The HELOC provided a more discreet way to obtain the money, as it was paperless and did not require direct communication with his spouse about the transaction. Cohen’s decision to use a HELOC was influenced by his desire to keep the payment and its purpose confidential, not only from his wife but also from public scrutiny.
Ok, so now my thoughts….
This makes NO SENSE at all.
So first of all, it’s not at all clear why Cohen had to make the payment himself and not Trump.
That’s Step One, and I do not think that has been remotely explained well enough.
That’s very strange.
But let’s just assume that yes, Cohen needs to be the one to physically make the payment, not Trump or any of Trump’s companies.
Ok, but then why does Cohen have to go take out a HELOC on his house?
He claims it’s so that his wife wouldn’t find out since they have a shared checking out.
Anyone else calling BS on this?
So if I am to believe his statement, then I have to believe he had joint checking accounts with his wife but the house was only in his name?
Really?
Anyone believe that?
Of course not! That would be absurd.
The wife wanted joint checking accounts but was fine not being on the deed to the house?
That doesn’t make any sense.
But if the wife was on the deed to the house, then Cohen’s story falls apart because she would have to sign the paperwork for the HELOC, so it would actually become WAY more noticeable doing what he did.
Also….by taking out a HELOC, he is making a public record of the transaction.
That mortgage will be filed with the local county recorder and be public record for all the world to see, even after paid off.
Even when you pay it off, the record is not released, you just get two records: you still see the original Mortgage and then whenever you pay it off you then see a RELEASE of Mortgage.
So Cohen was trying to hide this activity from his wife (and apparently others) and chose to create a huge public record of it instead?
Sorry, I don’t buy it.
But that’s not all….
Set aside all of those questions, next I want to know why Cohen was doing this in his personal accounts in the first place.
I’m giving you as a freebie that we’ll just assume for some reason that Cohen has to make the payment instead of Trump or a Trump organization.
But why is it Cohen personally?
Shouldn’t it be Cohen’s law firm?
Shouldn’t all of this run through his Trust Account if it were being done (allegedly) for a client (Trump)?
Isn’t that kind of grounds for disbarment to take client funds and intermix and commingle them with your personal funds?
Folks, NONE of this makes any sense.
Michael Cohen said he used his home equity line of credit (HELOC) to fund the $130,000 payment to Daniels, explaining that he couldn’t pull the money directly from his bank account because he owned it jointly with his wife.

Cohen describes the system of obtaining the funds for the hush money from a home equity line of credit (HELOC).
Once he repaid the loan, Cohen said: “Nobody would be the wiser.”

In actuality, what it’s starting to look like to me and to many other people online is that perhaps COHEN was the one having an affair with Stormy Daniels.
Doesn’t that fit our fact pattern much better?
Is that what actually happened here?

RELATED REPORT:
TONY SERUGA BOMBSHELL: Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen Had An Affair Since 2006, Conspired To Extort Trump
Wow….buckle up for this one!
Tony Seruga (not to be confused with Tony Segura, gay rights activist, or Tom Segura, comedian) just posted some WILD accusations to Twitter.
I want to be clear upfront we have not been able to independently verify these accusations, we are simply reporting what Tony Seruga has claimed on Twitter.
For those who don’t know Seruga, he posts the following in his bio on Twitter, where he has nearly 80,000 followers:
Investor | Board Member | Big Data Pioneer | Intel Ops | CIA/NSA Contractor/Whistleblower | CRE | Philanthropist | Healthcare M&A @ http://GreenlawCapital.com
Here is a longer bio assembled by Grok:
Tony Seruga is a prominent figure in the intelligence community with over 39 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. He has worked with various high-profile clients, including the United States Government, British Government, Israeli Government, Saudi Arabia Government, Microsoft, and several other notable organizations.
Throughout his career, Seruga has made significant contributions to the field of intelligence analysis. However, it is essential to acknowledge that his work has not been without controversy. In 2023, he made headlines when he claimed that there would be a terrorist attack on US soil in the next 14 months. This prediction was met with criticism and skepticism from various sources.
Despite the controversy, Seruga’s expertise and experience in the intelligence community remain highly regarded. He is known for his dedication to his work and his commitment to providing valuable insights to his clients.
I post that bio to establish this is not just some random, no-name Twitter account making these accusations.
Now there’s a lot at play here, let me try and explain it all….
Tony Seruga claims that he used to share an office building in Newport Beach with Michael Avenatti. Yes, that would be the disgraced porno lawyer that once represented Stormy Daniels and claimed he would “take down Trump”.
We all know how that turned out….Avenatti himself was sentenced to 14 years in prison on December 5, 2023 (thank you Trump Boomerang Effect!).
Seruga posted to Twitter that Avenatti told him in 2018 that it was actually Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels who were having the affair (not Trump) and that they conspired together to extort Donald Trump // Trump Organization.
Wow!
Now read the bombshell report, which I first saw posted by my friend Chuck Callesto:
BOMSHELL REPORT: ⚠️ Accusations emerge that Michael Cohen was HAVING AN AFFAIR with Stormy Daniels since 2006 and that the “hush money scheme was cooked up by Michael Cohen to EXTORT THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION before the 2016 election”..

“Avenatti shared details of his client Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, case and the fact that her and Michael Cohen were actually having an affair since 2006.” -Tony Seruga
Of course we always like to go direct to the source so I’ve found the original post by Seruga making this claim:
I spoke with Michael Avenatti who at one time had an office in the same building as one of my businesses in Newport Beach, CA (in November 2018, a few days after his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, Avenatti’s law firm was evicted from those same offices in Newport Beach… pic.twitter.com/MFnmH4NsER

And follow up here:
Understand, Michael Avenatti is a serial liar, but he did speak about his client (that he would later steal from) and Michael Cohen’s affair touching on their scheme to bilk the Trump Organization out of money. He spoke about it on more than one occasion. He was very passionate…

Wow, right?
Talk about a turn of events if true!
