Criminal usually hang around with other criminals and do business with other criminals.  So many times when one criminal gets caught the witnesses that can testify about what he was involved in are other criminals.  The people who do under cover drug buys are almost always other drug users.  People who buy stolen property testify about the people who sold the stolen property.

You can't just dismiss the testimony of a person because he has bee caught up in criminal behavior himself.  IN fact many times you need the testimony of a criminal to convict another criminal.

Also funny how no one on the right tries to explain why their Donald would ever work so closely for so long with a criminal like Cohen.  To them Cohen only became a bad guy when he turned on Trump.

But as a defense attorney would you not try to call into question the reliability of someone who is testifying as part of a plea, and has already been found guilty of perjury?
