Trump was his vehicle to cash...he stole from redfin no problem...but he knows trump pays enough attention that stealing from someone already willing to pay you very well to practice law for him isn't a good mark. It was easy to see the reason...Cohen even testified to as much...he wanted to and thought he would be the AG...and he wanted that more than anything. He fixed the problem and hid how so he could cash in on the AG spot.

It was Trump who stiffed RedFin when they did work on Trump's behalf to rig the CNBC poll, but CNBC didn't go ahead with that poll. So Trump decided not to pay.

Didn't Cohen admit on the stand that he stole the $60k from the Trump organization?

No.
Cohen admitted to the theft.
It was Trump who stiffed RedFin when they did work on Trump's behalf to rig the CNBC poll, but CNBC didn't go ahead with that poll. So Trump decided not to pay.

Didn't Cohen admit on the stand that he stole the $60k from the Trump organization?
It was 30k. It was supposed to cost him $50k to pay Redfin off to manipulate some poll, but it only ended up costing him 20k. So he kept the difference, because he felt ripped off for not getting a bonus that year.
According to Cohen, Trump was reimbursed $50,000 to pay Red Finch, a tech company hired to rig a CNBC poll on the most famous businessmen over the last century—even though he only came in 9th in the poll.
However, Cohen admitted on the stand he only paid the company $20,000, keeping $30,000 for himself. Cohen said his decision to the money was “self-help” after the Trump Organization slashed his bonus in 2016.
Later, Trump’s defense attorney Todd Blanche asked Cohen outright: "So you stole from the Trump Organization, right?"
Cohen responded affirmatively, "yes sir."

As far as I can tell his apart of the prosecution team, so at the very worst he was put there to push the case forward. Can’t see how his in a position to influence the Judge or the jury for that matter.

Then if it was theft why did Trump or others directly not go after Cohen for such an action?
Probably would've been the smart move all things considered.
