Great lawyering by Todd Blanche. Really great. I think Cohen is done. I don't think the jury will believe a word he says that isn't corroborated externally.

Todd Blanche, with a few minutes left to go before the lunch break, is emphasizing his point, raising his pointer finger as his voice hits a higher register. He is suggesting it is ridiculous that Michael Cohen might have simultaneously reported a prankster to Keith Schiller and told Trump that a hush-money payment had been made.
