This is Michael Cohen and you're listening to the mayor called the podcast. It's almost impossible to believe.

0:59.0

Donald Trump, a fucking loser in every sense of the word, is still the front runner in the Republican party.

1:06.0

As pathetic and bizarre as it may be, this man who is running from the law is still creating chaos that will ultimately dictate the fate of his entire party.

1:17.0

And now as we wait for the possible indictment to come down in the Manhattan District Attorney's case, and that of course is based upon Donald's statements himself.

1:27.0

The disgrace twice in Pete's president is trying to change the game using a playbook that I know all too well.

1:35.0

On Monday, the Manhattan Grand jury in the Stormy Daniels hush money case, heard from Robert Castello, who appeared in court on Donald's behalf.

1:45.0

My only mission there today was to tell the truth about what Michael Cohen was saying at any point in time during the time that we were representing him.

1:53.0

I wouldn't have touched a guy like Michael Cohen, especially if he's a convicted perjurer. Not to mention, as I said, the 50 to 100 lies he told us that are in those 330 emails.

But again, they didn't. And I'm speculating that this Grand jury is a whole lot smarter than Trump's team gives them credit for.

2:41.0

And I can only hope that Trump and his team now don't go after the people on the jury the same way they went after Alvin Bragg and his staff.

2:49.0

But he's a mob boss, and that's the sort of thing that they do to protect themselves.

2:54.0

Cohen prosecutor star witness in the case was also brought in yesterday to be on standby as a possible rebuttal witness for Castello's testimony.

3:04.0

But that rebuttal was never needed even after Castello spent more than two hours trying to discredit Cohen before the Grand jury.

3:13.0

After his testimony Castello, who also has represented the likes of Rudy Giuliani and Steve Vennant told reporters he has no agenda except exposing the truth.

3:26.0

Now I can tell you from experience that Castello is a low credibility lawyer. I mean he represents people like Giuliani and Bannon, so obviously he's a bottom feeder.
