Since when is the credibility of a single witness the basis for dismissing a case?
Isn't it up to a judge or jury to decide the witnesses' credibility?
Are they going to argue that EVERY witness the prosecution has produced isn't credible? (I concede that Cohen might not be the most credible witness, but by all accounts, Stormy was VERY credible... down to a description of what Dump was wearing in the bedroom, and that it didn't include a condom... ::o)
Tryst with Stormy is not really in question, despite Trump's protestation. The issue is tying payment to Stormy to campaign funds and miscategorizing them. She cannot testify to that - that was an issue mainly between Trump and Cohen.
Well but it does go (indirectly) to Cohen's credibility, since -- as you point out -- Dump has denied the whole thing. It's a question of setting the foundations of the crime.
