“We can’t trust Michael Cohen because he’s already been to jail for what Trump is on trial for,” is such a silly statement it should hip you to manufactured stupidity needed to keep this whole farce going.

If Cohen is still on probation and/or engaged in a cooperation agreement he has a very low incentive to lie.
It's funny how all of the sudden Cohen is a bad witness against Trump when all of Cohen's corrupt behavior stems from covering up or acceding to Trump's malfeasance.
Well he went to prison for lying about this exact situation at the direction of the defendant he's testifying against, he did it for pay, and he has already been sentenced so can't get a reduction based upon his testimony now. It's the weakest snitch cross examination in history.
It’s such a willfully stupid argument I’ve been losing my mind seeing anyone try to push it. It may be the ultimate triumph of a context-free, history-free, hell common sense-free discourse.
Right! And to top it off, the leading pro-trump argument here is that the underlying conduct is not a big deal. If it's not serious misconduct by Trump how can it be good impeachment material against the lackey that carried out the scheme?
It underscores the logic that sees January 6 participants receiving hard sentences as a right and just defense of democracy and then get weak kneed whenever the specter of accountability floats near Trump
