Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony

SuburbanTurkey said:
I just hope that Congress treads carefully. Congress compelled Oliver North to testify and it resulted in him escaping criminal liability for Iran Contra on the grounds that he was forced to testify against himself. His convictions were overturned on appeal.

We need to balance priorities here, which is tough when we are totally in the dark in regards to the Mueller probe.

Cohen has already pleaded guilty so I don't see how that would apply.
 
Roy of Texas is doing a pro-Trump rally type speech. Not a single question asked. Nice grandstanding job.
 
SuburbanTurkey said:
If Cohen isn't lying, his claims should be investigated and verified.

If Cohen is lying, his claims should be investigated and Cohen should be charged.

Either way, the only proper response is to investigate these claims. Now that the D's control the House, it will happen.

The claims have already been investigated, by Mueller.

Mueller is doing a fine job collecting the scalps of Trump's lackeys, but there's a good chance that he will decide indicting the sitting president is not proper and dump the whole problem on the lap of Congress to deal with.

The House needs to be doing its own investigation. Corruption of the presidency is first and foremost a political problem and impeachment is the proper solution. The D's are getting the ball moving now that they are in charge.
 
"When you filed a false tax return in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 was all that out of blind loyalty to the President?"

"No"

"Getting sick watching these hearings. I know Michael Cohen personally for many years and he told me several times that he was very angry and upset that he didn't get a post in the WH and that he "would do what he has to do now to protect his family ""

-B. Dietl.

say, Cohen just cannot stop lying to Congress now can he.

Trump Jr. is openly mocking the rat about it on twitter

banner day Resistance!

Trump Jr. just can't stop lying on Twitter now can he. Daddy must be very proud, but you fail to appreciate the humor value of defending Trump by attacking Cohen's credibility.

But yeah, it's a good day for the Resistance. Virtually none of the serious stuff Cohen talked about depends at all on his credibility -- there seems to be plenty of other evidence -- and the Repubs came off looking like next level hypocrites trying to shield their grifter cult leader.

I'm looking for the relevance of your post, but I can't find it.

It wouldn't be that you're trying to discredit his statements based on the irrelevant fact that he is guilty of tax fraud?

ETA: Don't you think the Repubs were a little hard on Cohen for mere "process crimes?" :p

weird how you missed the part where a long time acquaintance called out Cohen for lying about not wanting to have a job at the white house.

protip; your sarcasm meter is broken. the Dems star witness is a fiasco who has managed to destroy the collusion claims, the campaign funding claim, the Steele report and the email claims, while managing to humiliate himself and the dem grifters like Schiff who colluded with him.

the Resistance is broken.

A republican politician was condemned by his brothers and sisters.

A poster here falsely identified that it was the politician's children. (A claim that they later corrected.)

Now, a reasonable/rational person would look at the circumstances, and say "Ok, the false identification was unfortunate, but we should be concerned about a politician who's got so many failings that his very own siblings are condemning him"

Instead, you seem to be more hung up on the unfortunate false identification part rather than the main point: republican politician is such a scumbag that even his siblings don't like him. Why is that?

It's his m.o. Always have an out, and concentrate on that.

On the other hand, Cohen just denied under oath having ever been in Prague, and he also said he never met with Russians on his 2016 trip elsewhere in Europe.

That little tidbit just nuked the Steele report grift from orbit.

Wow, what a terrible day for resistance grifters.

Every other one of your posts on this thread is about how Cohen is a liar.

Maybe you should look up the meaning of the phrase “confirmation bias”.
 
Jeezus, I think Congressman Meadows has made a huge miscalculation parading that young black woman in front of Congress, and using her to claim that Trump can't be a a racist because she works for him. That is just the GOP version of "I'm not a racist. Some of my best friends are black"

Actually, it's the exact same version.

But Cohen says Trump is a racist and Cohen is a liar, therefore Trump is not a racist. :rolleyes:

Thank goodness human beings only have binary attributes and are always entirely self-consistent. Otherwise, that question would be grossly oversimplified to the point of being laughable.
