Bet it's back up after Cohen doesn't produce a video of Trump en flagrante with Ivan, Vlad and Georgios.
if I'm Trump I'm on the phone with John Middleton offering him whatever he needs to close the deal on Bryce Harper this afternoon.
The Republicans are going to badly miss Gowdy today. This requires an expert scalpel at questioning. Jordan is ranking minority member is a bad move up front.
Tellywawhat, I'd bank a witness testifying to participating in a Presidential "cover up" and calling it that in the Congress well has only one precedent.
You think Cohen strategically agreed to the open hearing with Oversight for that very reason?
One Trillion over 25 years, you get to be AG for a week of your choosing every year, and free ice cream.
No, not really. The Intel committees are all about Russia so their stuff has to be behind closed doors. I could be wrong but Oversight is the only one that can deal with all the 'other stuff' - emoluments, foundation, taxes, Trump Org etc. etc.
I just gave you an historical fact. What happens with it, I don't know. But you can know it's already with federal prosecutors in 2-3 offices.
There are some documents for some of his allegations. There is also a lot of hearsay without documents.
Cohen related statements from Trump about black people that were pretty disgusting. I didn't see anything else I hadn't already heard about. He knew of no evidence of Trump collusion with Russia.
It's definitely the most broad, but the original plan had been a closed + open session with Intel I believe. That could have been done but instead he accepted an open hearing with Oversight and is only doing closed testimony with both Intels. I dunno. Just a thought.
You seem to be missing the point. We all acknowledge this is true. The fact that it won't change anything is the huge news. Because you know, it really really really should.
Eh that's not correct. The DOJ has already indicted IRA and GRU and pled in doing that that GRU leaked to WL. Now Cohen says that Trump and Stone coordinated with WL. That's a criminal conspiracy. Now you can argue it's not, or argue motive or proof, but that is technically evidence.
There is virtually no hearsay. There is direct eyewitness testimony about conversations Cohen was involved in.
Sad state we are in.
he also named the Trump Org CFO who could verify Cohen's testimony that Trump knew about the hush money payments. Trump would be going to prison just like Cohen, except that he's the President. this might not be a big deal to Trump defenders but it's absolutely incredible in our country's history
Well they elected a guy accused of sexual assault by 17 people. I have yet to see anything worse than that in Cohen's testimony. They already overlooked his character long ago.
Yes. The fact this is all being said about the President of the United States of America is a huge moment - even if only half of it is true. Shocking you can't see this perspective.
I actually cringed when he said that. Wasn't the check from a revocable trust account? Technically, that's not his businesses.
THEY did? you're on here today saying that you can't see how any of this is a big deal. the President is a criminal and its not a big deal
The tax fraud case is open and shut too.
But all this is old news. It's the political grandstanding around old Cohen claims and giving a proven liar a massive stage for hearsay that I'm mocking. Not the crimes. The crimes are awful and I've never defended them.
He’s picking up where Cohen left off. GOP is doing his work now. Hope they all end up in the same place.
This is not a good result for Trump. This was a definition of what Cohen did for Trump.
