He\u2063 went to jail, for\u2064 lying. And this is their only\u200d witness. When you think about\u2062 it, \u200cit&#8217;s pretty amazing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s clear that Cohen&#8217;s \u2063credibility\u200b has been severely damaged. He betrayed his former employer, whom he claimed to\u200d respect, and now tries to play the \u2064victim. As a self-confessed\u2062 perjurer, he will do anything to protect himself.<\/p>\n<p>Cohen turned against Trump and used his platform to\u2062 launch vicious attacks on him. However, his\u200d credibility is questionable.<\/p>\n<p>Credibility matters, and\u200d a disbarred, disgruntled convicted felon with\u2064 an agenda shouldn&#8217;t be trusted.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>An Urgent Note from \u2063Our Staff:<\/h3>\n<p><em><b>The Western Journal has been labeled\u200b &#8220;dangerous&#8221; simply because we have a biblical worldview\u200b and speak the truth about what\u200d is happening in America.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We refuse \u2064to let Big Tech and\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kidnapping-suspect-left-ransom-note-in-familys-mailbox-it-led-police-right-to-him-9-year-old-girl\/\" title=\"Kidnapping suspect caught after leaving ransom note in family's mailbox, leading police to him and the 9-year-old girl.\">woke advertisers \u2062dictate<\/a> the content we share with\u2063 our community.
