  4. It would have to be a very simple “taunt”. Something like teasing a child and saying “I’m gonna tell mom” or “nah, nah de nah, nah”……

  5. These self-important aggrandizing idiots (Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen) are going to be the reason the case is successfully appealed for tainting the jury

  6. Is not “turnabout,” “fairplay?”

    And his rhetoric is a 4, where Trump’s is always an 11.

  7. You, as a witness, obviously cannot taunt the defendant outside of the courtroom by wearing a shirt showing the defendants face behind bars.

    However, if you do choose to do that, there is no law that says I can’t laugh at it.

  8. >”I expect equal treatment as the defendant, your honor. I will pay my $1000 after the 11th infraction.”

  10. The judge isn’t wrong. But, they are just using Trump-speak.

  11. well, he was going to have trouble topping ‘VonShitzInPants’ anyway

  12. Anyone who listens to any of the podcasts he’s on knows Cohen already stopped taking about Trump a couple weeks ago. _… voluntarily I might add._ He’s trying to be the bigger person and not possibly interfere with the trial.

    Would Trump ever do that?

    Hellll no…

  15. Okay so here’s my question. What can Cohen actually say? When does Attorney Client privilege stop/end?

  16. Perhaps judge is REALLY asking Michael Cohen plus key witnesses to step up their taunting game. Isn’t this how Trump operates? Giving threats and instructions in passive aggressive code?

  19. The prosecutor has to get control over these witnesses. Only Reddit thinks this crap is good for the case.

  20. That guy will fuck up the trial. He needs to find a new hobby.

  21. Fucking Cohen is an idiot just like every other Trump attorney. I’m seriously concerned that he’s going to get played in the cross examination. Mark my words… He’s going to say something that gets the whole case thrown out. I don’t care how much evidence he has… This guy is going to be a liability to everyone.

  22. You taunt 6 year olds. A grown adult should know how to stay above it.

  24. Wait. The cockwaffle that attacks everything and everyone is hurt about having some mean things said about him? And people think he has the temperament to be president?

  26. Yeah never forget he’s a scumbag just like Trump, and he only cooperated out of self interest.

  27. And I’m only going to tell you 12 times before I begin to think about the possibility of looking into what steps I can take on the thirteenth time that might result is a consequences that could be levied against you!

  29. Cohen is a piece of shit. Let’s stop pretending because he’s saying what we want to hear means he’s not a liar and scum human.

  31. Cohen has voluntarily stopped publicly talking about the trial for weeks now. The von shitzenpantz thing is months old at least.

  32. Please define “taunt”, your honor.
    I believe Mr. Cohen was just engaged in some light banter.

  33. Trump attacks witnesses and jurors, threatens the judge’s family, gets fined a dozen times and admonished for it… then the Cohen gets scolded for taunting.
