The Golden Ticket

Today I decide to read an editorial from USA Today, “Michael Cohen testimony was a WWE body slam against Trump. Here's why it's credible.” written by Michale J. Stren. In his writing his intended audience is Americans, he suggests that “In the end, people will have to look at all the facts surrounding Cohen’s testimony today to make their own conclusions about whether he is being truthful”. He is encouraging his audience to make their own opinion based on the opinions he has stated. I do believe that Stren is credible he assures of his credibility by stating that he was also a litigator for the Department of Justice. This gives him some sort of insight on how the prosecutors see this trial. He also uses his prior knowledge to suggest that Cohen is telling the truth despite lying before and being a criminal.  His main argument is that we should believe Cohen and what he said about President Trump, that he is a liar and has committed a crime. He argues that some will believe the tweets and statements said by the Government of the President and not trust Cohen’s testimony. Stern says it is important to understand that normal citizen will not commit a crime and will need to be prosecuted. He believes that Cohen’s testimony is credible and that he is throwing Trump under the bus so he can have a more lenient sentence when he is convicted.
