Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony

In case it missed your keen eye for detail, the US Constitution has been officially modified and amended quite a few times since its inception.

Therefore, one should expect to periodically see suggestions for various alterations to the US Constitution from any number of sources.

Considering that you had so much doubt that the Cohen testimony would lead to new avenues of Trump investigation, then here is one more example of how the Cohen testimony has lead to a new avenue of Trump investigation.

Trump Organization’s Insurance Policies Under Scrutiny in New York

New York State regulators have issued an expansive subpoena to the Trump Organization’s longtime insurance broker, the first step in an investigation of insurance policies and claims involving President Trump’s family business, according to the company and a person briefed on the matter.

...

It came just days after Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former fixer and lawyer, indicated in congressional testimony that the Trump Organization inflated the value of its assets to insurance companies.

The subpoena is the latest sign that the Trump Organization is facing scrutiny from multiple fronts — federal prosecutors, congressional Democrats, and now, insurance regulators.

...

The agency’s authority is limited to civil regulatory actions, although it can refer possible criminal conduct to the office of a local district attorney or the State Attorney General.

...

Mr. Cohen’s testimony, however, provides additional fuel to advance the insurance inquiry.

The Constitution has never had to deal with a self-aggrandising, narcissistic, criminal gang boss as a President... until Donald "Wannabe King" Trump came along. Your Founders never envisioned such a totally unqualified person getting to that position, and the Consititution they formulated is ill-equipped to deal with it.

NOTE: See the first part of the name of this site... its "international" - that means I don't have to be a USAian to be allowed an opinion and to offer ideas, and if you don't like it, tough biscuit. Oh, and by the way, everybody knows that Australia is actually the West Island of this country.

Yep.

The Founders never considered the need for a way of removing an incompetent or insane or otherwise incapacitated President from office. It took 180 years for that issue to be addressed (25th amendment - 1967)

The US Constitution is not a fixed inflexible narrative, its what we would now call a living document. It grows and changes with the changes in society. It will need to change again soon to deal with the situation you now have, for the first time ever, of a President who abuses the power of his office by overriding the checks and balances and subverting the oversight that the Founders put in place, who tries to grab power for himself, and who uses the office for personal gain.

It's had 33 amendments - changes - in 230 years. That's one change every 7 years on average, or 11 times in your average lifespan of 80 years. It holds on because it DOES change.

I am certain that it does not need input from a minor colony of Australia.

LOL. Then it also doesn't need input from Greece, France and the UK as well. Agreed?

PS. The USA started out as a bunch of UK colonies too. Remember that? And Australia federated 120 years ago. Please do keep up. ;)
 
For the benefit of the other viewers, this is typical Aus/NZ behaviour. Don't worry! We will sort it out over a friendly game of rugby soon. (Last series, the Kiwis walloped us, so fair play!)



MEANWHILE!!! Let's get back on Michael Cohen's testimony!!

Trump attorneys standing by statement from last week. “Today’s testimony by Michael Cohen that attorneys for the President edited or changed his statement to Congress to alter the duration of the Trump Tower Moscow negotiations is completely false,” Sekulow said last week

That's because the statement is carefully worded. The attorneys could have edited the rest of the document, or even the sentence about Trump Tower Moscow, without making that statement inaccurate. What is important about that statement is what they don't deny.

One of the comments in the thread mentioned how strange it was that people were so thrilled about seeing luggage.

I'll never be able to walk through an airport again without getting sexually excited.

Did Cohen happen to mention that NZ has no world class snooker players like Neil Robertson? Probably not -- but he could have.

Counterclaim coming right down the middle. What a scumbag.

That's quite amusing.

Who would have thought that Trump wouldn't pay his lawyers? Except for all the previous lawyers he didn't pay.


But if Cohen did some honest* work for the Trump organisation, he should be paid.



I'm willing to believe that even ETA: Hypothetically the Trump organisation required some honest work
