I absolutely never would have done it,\u201d Honig replied. \u201cIt was properly sustained. First of all, it\u2019s not the point. It\u2019s not the point, does Michael Cohen hate Todd Blanche?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe point is, Michael Cohen hates and desperately wants the defendant, Donald Trump, in prison,\u201d Honig continued. \u201cLet me give you what I would have started with. We like to play like armchair prosecutor now that we\u2019re no longer actual prosecutors. First question would have been, \u2018Mr. Cohen, are you a perjurer?\u2019 Okay? If he says \u2018Yes,\u2019 great! Folks, he\u2019s a perjurer. He says \u2018No,\u2019 then you just hit him with the dozens of lies that he\u2019s \u2026 He <em>is<\/em> a perjurer. I mean, that\u2019s a fact.
