Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel John Yoo on Tuesday evening explained why Michael Cohen\u2019s testimony could trigger a mistrial in Alvin Bragg\u2019s \u2018hush money\u2019 lawfare case against Trump.<\/p>\n

Trump was charged with 34 felony counts for paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, \u2018hush payments\u2019 through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in an alleged scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.<\/p>\n

There is no crime, but Alvin Bragg charged President Trump anyway.<\/p>\n

John Yoo explained why bringing risky and unreliable witnesses such as Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen to the witness stand could trigger a mistrial.<\/p>\n

Convicted perjurer Michael\u00a0Cohen took the witness stand<\/a> on Monday and Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Michael\u00a0Cohen played audio of a secret recording<\/a>\u00a0he took between himself and his then-client Donald Trump. Attorney-client privilege is a right for every American \u2014 except Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Last week Stormy Daniels blew it on the witness<\/a> stand when she testified to irrelevant yet very salacious details about her sexual encounter with Trump that allegedly happened many years ago.<\/p>\n

She was also reportedly making scripted jokes in the courtroom to win over the jury but nobody was laughing.<\/p>\n

Yoo said the prosecution went too far last week with the Stormy Daniels testimony and relied too heavily on a convicted liar. <\/p>\n

\u201cJim and I were both at the Justice Department\u2026 we would never have authorized a prosecution like this that was so dependent on someone who has been convicted of federal crimes for lying,\u201d John Yoo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid we cross the Rubicon? Did we go after a former president for the first time in the history of this Republic, in 235 years, for this guy? For this kind of witness? For these kinds of charges?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
