Yep, typical Republican in these type of hearings—comes out aggressively and attacking Democrats and invoking Clinton.

You might want to return that law degree by mail you're operating under.

MSNBC.. ”Chairman Cummings to Republicans: "You've made it clear that you do not want the American people to hear what Mr. Cohen has to say. But the American people have a right to hear him. So we're going to proceed." ![](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r481/2peasrefugees/Smilies/doublepopcorn.gif) I have wanted to use this emoji but was waiting for the right situation. I think today’s hearing is it.

For those who wonder if they can believe Cohen. From some guy called Tea Pain.. ”Just remember as you listen to Michael Cohen today that Bob Mueller and/or the SDNY has approved everything he will say ahead of time. That should send chills down the spine of anyone Mueller hasn’t interviewed yet.” I have to believe there is some truth in this as I understand Cohen is still talking to both these parties. This is what I was thinking. The republicans are trying really hard to discredit Cohen and the democrats. What they forget is that trump also has a lot to lose, and he has a history of lying just as much, if not more than Cohen. I also assume that anything Cohen says can be backed up by Mueller and what he found through his investigating. Unfortunately, many will believe it. Sad. I hadn't thought of that. That gives me a bit of hope.

I don’t know anything about Cohen prior to Trump, but I don’t think it would be implausible that he could have changed once he met him and got involved with him. Just look at how many seemingly good people among the general public that have stooped to the level of trump just to protect And support him, no matter what he says or does.

Cohen states that the negotiations with Russia went on and were actively being negotiated during 2017.
He states trump actively knew of and directed negotiations with Russia.
He states trump wouldn’t actually say “lie for me” but would look at him (Cohen) and say “there is no Russia business” and that trump’s personal lawyers would amend Cohens statement to Congress to ensure the lies would stand.

I am struck by republicans wrapping themselves in the "flag of truth" and promoting the biggest liar at all. and the former prosecutor whose comments were.. we work with liars all the time.. that is who commits crimes...

ABC News..
”Rep. Jim Jordan on Michael Cohen hearing: "This might be the first time someone convicted of lying to Congress has appeared again so quickly in front of Congress”
Everytime this man opens his mouth, all I hear is he knew those boys were being sexually abused and did nothing.

“This campaign was going to be the best infomercial in American history” (Trump’s statement on his running) That is sure believable. We all know how often Trump says something is the best/biggest/worst in American history.

Cohen says that lying becomes normalized anywhere around trump.
You either lie (stay on message, always defend).
Cohen states he was in the room when Roger Stone called after talking to Julian Assange and told trump that there would be a document dump on HRC. So trump knew.

I was shocked when I read the opening statement. But I also have little faith that anything will change. Me too. My worry is that some people are now so invested in the con, that neither this nor the Mueller report will make a lick of difference. 😐😕

Just look at how many seemingly good people among the general public that have stooped to the level of trump just to protect And support him, no matter what he says or does. I totally agree with this! I think DT could be very charismatic when he needed to be to get what he wanted out of people. I think at first MC was just doing his job but as he became more then just a lawyer and DT brought him into more of his life and business he became addicted to the power he got.

Seriously how egotistical can DT be he got Cohen to set up a bid for a portrait of Trump that was being auctioned off at a art auction so his would be the highest bid at the auction that day and which he later bragged about on Twitter

Trump’s a cheat.
Cohen’s speaking to trump ordering a straw bid on a painting, that he had the trump.org pay.
Says he was directed by trump to pay off the porn star, and the other woman whom he had affairs with.
States that trump directed Cohen to use cohens home equity line of credit to pay off port star/women and HAS the receipts of where trump SIGNED THE CHECKS AFTER BEING POTUS TO REIMBURSE COHEN in order to avoid campaign finance laws.

Cohen says trump showed him a $10,000,000 tax refund and commented on how stupid the government was to be giving such a big refund.

MSNBC..
”Michael Cohen claims that President Trump lied about the Moscow Trump Tower negotiations throughout the campaign, because he never expected to win the election, and he stood to make millions on the deal.”
This I believe.

I don’t remember if it is was just the vibe I got or is there was something else going on in the news that added to that.

Can Cohen even sell a book? I thought a law was passed that criminals can’t profit from their crimes.

I believe any thinking person knows how shady Trump is, my concern is how can they prove it? I’m also wondering if he is able to reveal everything he knows at these hearings, or if some of it is information Mueller doesn’t want out yet.

NPR..
”GOP Rep. Jim Jordan just read legal threats from Michael Cohen to NPR's @timkmak, who was at the time working for the Daily Beast,”
Paul Waldman..
“Was just reminded of how 7 wrestlers at Ohio State said Rep. Jim Jordan knew about the doctor who was molesting them when he was a coach there, and Jordan responded that they were all part of a Deep State conspiracy to punish him for his criticism of Robert Mueller.”
