I try to avoid adding to the political posts beyond "likes" but I am trying to wrap my head around something - why do the republicans keep trying to discredit him about the lies, when he was in fact lying to PROTECT THE PRESIDENT ... so if he was lying then, and protecting the president then, how exactly do they want the truth to be presented to them NOW? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ? I am so confused about that, you can't bark up that tree if you don't want to face the acknowledgement that his lies protected the president, and now he's trying to right a wrong.

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. That's exactly what I thought. I thought this whole shindig was to hear what MC has to say.
Some of these guys are seriously unhinged. Who knows how long this will go on, but so far, I feel like MC is doing a pretty good job at stay cool and calm.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, Jim Jordan should have stayed in the world of wrestling. Ashamed that he represents my state.
Best line so far from Cohen..."You should be ashamed Mr. Jordan."

I agree and he's not the least bit intimidated by these Jack holes.

Because if they don't discredit MC, that means they will have to admit that Trump is a douche bag who paid off a porn star and lied about trying to make a deal with Russians while he was campaigning. They would have to admit so many things that they don't want to believe.

I agree and he's not the least bit intimidated by these Jack holes. I mean, he did work with Trump for 10 years. These baboons are just imitating DT, so none of this is new to Cohen.

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. (Lynn) Patton former wedding planner, now in Charge of HUD area of NYC and NJ......... Just remember Omarosa was loyal to dt until she wasn't...............

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. Cult.

Toobin's comment during the break on CNN to the effect of "the astonishing incompetence of the questioning" and the "bloviating instead of getting information." bwhahahaha Agree 100%

And how terrible is it for the republicans to bring in a huge sign in that reads”Michael Cohen Liar Liar Pants On Fire” into the gallery. And my cousin was embarrassed about the female representatives wearing white, with their “bitch faces”. Smdh.

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). That's not receipts then. That's not proof. That's still one man's word against another man's word. I think that's why some of us got confused by your post.

The Republicans are not doing themselves any favors to finding truth.
They are clearly on a campaign to smear him before the American people, for the sound bites, and so that they can take that to the base who may vote for trump.
It’s sad to watch them do what they are doing..
But just wait, they’ll go on after this to all the media outlets and say democrats orchestrated this and it was “politically motivated”.

"Receipts" are proof...tangible evidence that corroborates a statement. In my mind, anyway. I'm stuck at work. Really wish I was at home today watching this. I think. From what I'm reading here, my television might be in danger of being hit by a flying something-or-other if I was at home.

Man, I know Cohen is a sleaze bag, but he is impressing me with his composure and how present and attentive he is.

Out of everything Cohen has said the guy is fixated on where the boxes of documents are LOL

I hate how people ask questions just to cast doubt. Massie asked about the payment for Cohen’s attorney fees when he knows that no one else is paying his lawyer fees, but by asking it it casts doubt on his answer.

Out of all of the people who have been supporting Trump, I think Cohen is one of the most intelligent. He's also one of the few to actually realize early on how much trouble he's in. He also seems to be pretty good about shutting his mouth, which is not something his others supporters have been able to do.
