None of this came up at all in the testimony from either side even though it is a critical point of consideration for his culpability/capabilities as a reliable witness.
I'm just saying that the dude has some pretty damning evidence and that a spade should be called a spade.

It’s an old fight that both sides have accepted will remain contested. I don’t see it spilling out of Kashmir. Pakistan is entirely in the wrong, btw.

I'm still confused as to why Cohen would publicly turn on his client and publicly destroy any ability he has to have any other client trust him. Like, maybe Cohen is screwed and has legit dirt on his client that he can leverage, cause otherwise I don't see what he stands to gain from this.

But if he has nothing to squeal with then he has no leverage for a lighter sentence.

PG&E likely started the Camp Fire and expects a $10.5B impact to its bottom line, it tells regulators

No ****ing justice. The board of directors need to be on death row right now.
