'Stupid' Trump attorney Blanche pounded by Michael Cohen for botching felony trial
Former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen pounced on the now convicted ex-president's current primary lawyer Todd Blanche on MSNBC Saturday morning, renewing his attack on Blanche as "the stupidest lawyer of all time (SLOAT)" and claiming he botched Trump's defense which led to a clean sweep of 34 felony convictions.
Appearing on "The Weekend," Cohen picked apart Blanche's strategy while calling the former prosecutor "stupid" for letting his client dictate the direction the defense should take.
After watching a clip of Blanche explaining how he might appeal the devastating verdict and attacking Cohen as a witness, the former Trump lawyer stated, "You know I have a name for Todd, it's called 'SLOAT —stupidest lawyer of all time.'"

"Let me be very clear Todd, because I'm sure he's watching like everyone else," he continued. "He's the stupidest lawyer of all time. Why? You don't make the defense of a case like this 'Let's discredit one of the witnesses, let's discredit the narrator of the story.' There are 19 other people that were called by the district attorney, by prosecutors ... 19 people testified which all corroborated, again, the narrative of my story. What I had been saying again for six years, corroborated by 19 independent people, some of whom still work for Trump and remain loyal to him."
Asked if Trump was "calling the shots," Cohen explained, "Guaranteed it was Donald Trump calling the shots. I saw him do it 2007 when I started working for him. He calls the shots, it's the wrong thing to do, you don't allow your client dictate to you the terms of your defense especially when you're talking about something as serious as this case."
"It is again stupid, which is why I called him the SLOAT," he added.
