So, convicted liar, who I assume is disbarred, comes out and hits all the talking points the extreme left wants to hear, eh?

Wonder who is paying his expenses now....

Yes, and "adjusting" his punishment, depending on his "honesty".

liar
conman
opportunist

OK I get it.

But what were the negative qualities that Trump overlooked when he picked this guy to be his attorney?

HA?

I don't think he a full-time attorney on a retainer and stuff like we're being led to believe... He was just hired to handle a couple things... Mellow

Prolly...

I guess it matters because it's being talked about like he was Trump's right hand man and best friend for life... I don't think that's the case.. All the 'How could Trump not have known' stuff is being played to raise suspicion... Mellow

Once I saw the “honorable” chair Elijah Cummings ignore the rule breaking I turned the channel.

I don't know what Cohen can add other than slime. This is just another dog and pony show. Oh, my bad, an elephant and donkey show.

Just heard some snippets...but one that hasn't been in news coverage this evening I found pretty entertaining: When Meadows tagged Cummings to back him up in counterpunching Tlaib. Cummings didn't shy from the opportunity, but did end up pulling the knock out punch.

could be wrong, but I don't believe anything said or done here could reduce or add to the time he will be serving.
also, this was about government oversight, not election rigging

I think the most important thing is the Stormy Daniels-related check written after Trump took office.

House Oversight Committee Republicans on Thursday referred ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen to the Justice Department for alleged perjury, claiming he lied during sworn testimony before the panel a day earlier about a number of issues including his ambitions to work in the Trump administration and contracts with foreign entities.


Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., penned a letter Thursday to newly sworn-in Attorney General William Barr, citing evidence that Cohen “committed perjury” during his hearing before the committee on Wednesday.


“We write to refer significant evidence that Michael D. Cohen committed perjury and knowingly made false statements during his testimony before an Oversight and Reform Committee hearing,” they wrote. “While testifying under oath, Mr. Cohen made what appear to be numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the Justice Department in United States v. Cohen.”

They added: “Mr. Cohen’s testimony before the Committee at times was in direct contradiction to assertions contained in pleadings authored by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY.) There are other instances in which Mr. Cohen’s statements to the Committee were immediately contradicted by witnesses with firsthand knowledge of the subject matter.”

IF what Cohen alleged is verifiable then there might be RICO charges among other charges from the southern district. The CFO wiill be able to verify or put to rest many questions.

Funny how everyone was hanging on his every word, when he's not just a liar but a man convicted BECAUSE of his lying.


What could he POSSIBLY say that would be believed?

Oh yeah.
the answer is "Anything that is in sync with my beliefs or supports my like/dislike of Trump"


F*ck all of them form both sides.

and F*ck DiNero.

convicted liar or not, betcha some stuff from his 10 years as an extremely high ranking trusted insider with Trump before he suddenly became a "bad attorney" will be true.

I've lied in my life. Doesn't mean nothing I say is believable.

You oversimplify by insisting it's only about Hate Trump. I don't hate him, but I don't believe him either. There is such a long and documented history you'd have to be in total denial to think nothing has happened and it's all TDS or whatever dismissive term has been latched onto by deniers.

I did not vote for Trump. He is my President. The bad that could very well happen is scary to me for the sake of the USA. But it's crazy to pretend there's absolute zero when so many have already been found guilty in addition to Cohen. And so many had connections to foreign governments and so much financial debt is owed to those people...

hopefully not impeachable stuff, perhaps if we are lucky Trump totally shielded himself from any direct lines of knowledge. But influence has been bought and sold over our highest levels of government and the citizens need to get to the bottom of it.

Oversimplify what?
Hate Trump?


It's like nobody reads anymore.
Read what I wrote.
Like/Dislike means both sides.
"F*ck all of them from both sides" means, well, BOTH sides.

Duh.

In the scheme of things political, does paying off a whore who provided services prior to being an elected official truly rank as a major crime?
Campaign finance laws are a joke.
Obama was fined and nobody cared.
Trump buries an expense and it's impeachment.

Face it.
You (no one in particular) don't like Trump so every wrong turn makes your blood boil and you want him to be jailed for J-walking.

Fact.

of course, we were told Attorney Cohen paid her with his own money cuz he woulda taken a bullet for Trump (before bullets were actually fired).

yeah, you said F both sides too. I said a lot more than "you oversimplify" but that's what you got from it.
And there are dozens of prior posts stating pretty much the same thing, it's all Trump hate...it's all TDS...
basically, no substance just, well, Trump.

I say there is a lot of substance to sift through.
