Part 9/11:
Media outlets like CNN and others have depicted the proceedings as significant, but honest observers recognize the disastrous showcasing of the prosecution’s case. Figures such as MSNBC's Michael Avenatti echoed the sentiments of many analysts, emphasizing the utter failure of the case. Avenatti, himself now jailed, wryly commented that Cohen’s testimony was a "plane crash with no survivors," hinting that the prosecution's narrative is effectively dead in the water.
The public and legal community await further developments, particularly whether Judge Merchan will exercise his authority to dismiss the case entirely. Such a move would underscore the case’s collapse and might restore some semblance of legal integrity.
