‘Enormous, Big Deal!’ Fox’s Andy McCarthy Stunned By ‘Devastating’ Revelation Cohen Stole From Trump

Fox News’s mid-morning panel on Monday discussed Michael Cohen’s admission on the witness stand at Trump’s hush money trial that he stole from the Trump organization while working as Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer and personal fixer.

The conversation kicked off with Dana Perino asking Marc Thiessen for his take. Perino began saying she wanted to ask “about Michael Cohen and his credibility with what the jury has heard and seen.”

“And one of the things was today that on cross-examination, he was asked about taking $60,000 from the Trump Organization for work he did not do. And then you also believe he isn’t a fixer. He’s a grifter. And how do you think the jury takes that?” Perino asked.

“Well, I mean, he’s a serial perjurer who’s lied at probably every place that you could lie, he’s lied. And when he was caught in a lie on the stand, he… Where we’re with this, with this 96-second phone call where he claimed it was about the hush money payment. And it’s been proven that he was talking about a 14-year-old who was who was stalking him. He said, well, I believe I was. He said it was both that he and 96 seconds, he discussed both of them. He says, I believe I was telling the truth. I believe I was telling the truth. If you’re telling the truth, you say I was telling the truth. You don’t say, I believe I was telling the truth,” Thiessen replied adding:

That’s. That’s so so he. His credibility is trashed. But I want to bring up one other legal issue that I think is really interesting. And I’d love to, if any McCarthy or some of the other folks on your panel have a thought on this. The Biden administration right now is suing the state of Texas, saying that it is unconstitutional for the state of Texas to enforce federal immigration law. And the left is outraged by what Texas is doing. If it’s unconstitutional for Texas to enforce federal immigration law, how is it constitutional for New York to enforce federal election law? These things are not consistent. Bragg has no authority to enforce election law. And if there’s no federal crime, then it’s just a misdemeanor and they need to point it out. It would be thrown out because the statute of limitations is over. Pretty good.

Perino then turned to legal analyst Andy McCarthy and asked “would you like to take that one on?”

“Yeah, I think Marc makes a great point. I’ve called this in the trial the dog that doesn’t bark, because if this was any other prosecutor in America, state prosecutor, municipal prosecutor, and the defendant wasn’t Trump, the Biden Justice Department would be papering the state courthouse and the federal courthouse with all kinds of motions to stop the prosecution from doing that, because in federal law, the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department are given by Congress exclusive enforcement jurisdiction over federal campaign law,” McCarthy replied.

Anchor Bill Hemmer then asked McCarthy to react to the admission that Cohen stole from Trump, which one Fox News correspondent in the courtroom said was “devasting.”

“Yeah. To show that he actually stole from the Trump Organization, even as they were structuring a deal to pay him $35,000 a month is an enormous big deal. And Bill, the figure that you just gave about those consulting arrangements he had. What was it, 4 million or 6 million that he made? He was monetizing the fact that he was the president of the United States’s private lawyer. Right. So this was a this he was very much enriched by this arrangement,” McCarthy concluded.
