Signed check by trump for one... Oh I thought you meant for the phone conversation with Roger Stone. If Cohen was in the room (he said he was) and trump put Stone on speaker phone, and Cohen is stating under oath as to what he heard, that in itself is first hand testimony and evidence (his testimony is evidence).

Thank you! I came here just for this thread. I literally made snacks and cocktails and the dogs and I put our pajamas on for this. Jealous that you are having cocktails... Hey, it's Wednesday. We decided on hot toddies and are calling them medicinal We've got room on the couch for anyone who doesn't mind a 150lb lap dog snuggling

So for all of those people who believed/still believe in Trump - that he was going to "Make America Great Again" and that he was going to save America from whatever problems you fear will destroy her - it turns out that you were nothing more than pawns to be used in his quest for the almighty dollar. The sad thing is that there are still people out there who believe that he cares about them, he is going to rescue them, he is going to be the white knight who saves their community. My neighbor still, as of 2 hours ago, believes in Trump because "Cohen is a convicted liar who is obviously lying about Trump now." And I bet 99% of the Trumpers will believe the exact same thing. Honestly, I have no idea what could possibly change Trump's base's mind. Perhaps only if Fox News gives them permission to accept the facts as reality, but even then they'll probably just say Fox sold out to The Man or something and turn to Breitbart.

Meadows brought an African-American employee of Trump to "prove" he's not a racist? JFC As if trump would say something racist in front of a person of color. HE'S A CON!! Cons manipulate and would never show their racist hand to a PC.

Now Meadows is trying to bring criminal charges by asking for unanimous consent.
Declined objections were made.

Hice trying to set up that Cohen is working intimately with the Democrats for this hearing.
He’s asking if Lanny Davis is getting paid.

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. I have a good friend who is good people.. she has been duped.... I need to be very careful when we speak... for now she is in Florida so we do not speak as often. I am sad! Everytime this man opens his mouth, all I hear is he knew those boys were being sexually abused and did nothing. Crosses my mind when he(Jordan) speaks... I so wish it would have a follow up. 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 He paid for it with his CHARITIE'S funds!

Cummings, and he is just keeping time. Oh, I know that he is just keeping time, I now realize I sounded like I disagreed, but I like that he is cutting people off when their time is up even though people keep trying to talk over him. I am trying to type and listen. I sounded crabby about him when I didn’t mean too,

I'm in Canada and this was being aired on my all day news station. Sigh. I had to turn the freaking channel. I do hope this hearing will help.
I'm glad I am not working today or tomorrow. I had a customer come in and I had to serve him without smacking that MAGA hat off his head. We are in CANADA! WTF?!?! I really wanted to ask him if he was okay with Doug Ford and his conservative party especially after all the cuts Ford had done since getting in power last June. Recently his target is our Healthcare system. He's already screwed my son over who wanted to go to University. My son was going to 4 years of University. He lucky though will be able to afford to go to a 2 year College course instead. But what Ford did with OSAP is disgusting. I have a co worker who is a supervisor at my fast food resturant work. She is currently also working at No Frills (grocery store). Sometimes she is rushing out the door with a bagel in hand to go to her other min wage job because she has 2 young kids and her ex is being an asshole. She was going to go back to school to be able to get a better paying job for her kids. Now she can not. She has to work these to jobs to make ends meet and I found her tears one day at work and she was asking WHY would a government make it HARDER for her to better herself? It's just pisses me off. I can't deal with Ford fans. They scream Ford Nation. I scream, heartless bastard. And that is just one freaking example of the shit this government has pulled in their short time.

Go Lynch!!!!!!!
Just named all those who plead guilty on team trump in response to Hice’s narrative.
Lynch said that for all those others, Republicans ran away from the truth and that we finally have one witness volunteering to help them get to the truth!

I get there is a difference in ideology. What I don't get is why/when so many elected Republicans decided that their ideology is best represented by behaving like complete assholes. These guys are embarrassing themselves and doing no service to what is left of the shell of the Republican party by acting like complete pricks all for the defense of what? A corrupt, lying racist criminal who surrounds himself with criminals and is in office thanks only to the interference of Vladimir Putin. If you're going to destroy your reputation and and humiliate yourself as a Congressman, isn't there a better cause than defending Donald J. Trump?

I love the line, “they are worried you are going to tell the truth.”
I wish this was run like the British Parliment were everyone boos and hisses and cheers.
Good lord, Gosar is an unhinged ass as well. Hysterical. The republicans all seem a little hysterical.

Gosar - so gross. "THIS IS MY TIME! If I ask you a question, you can talk then." (paraphrased, not exact words)
Yup... absolutely NO CARE to find the truth. Just wants to make his statement.

Gosar snort! What a funny little man to because he’s talking about pathological liars!
Cohen asked if he was referring to trump.
It’s crystal clear as to what Lynch said.
Republicans are afraid of the truth!
