Crime Cohen’s Opening Statement Ahead of House Testimony

[Philo-Publius]

• Cohen's testimony fell way short of the treason (aka, "collusion") we were promised.
• Paying hush money does not violate campaign finance law. If it did, most of the American congress would be brought up on charges already due to doing exactly that.
• The "crimes" that "Honest Michael" alleged about Donald Trump will go nowhere and will not result in impeachment.

History will remember any accomplishments the President might make in Hanoi, but it will not remember Michael Cohen's testimony. Enjoy.

Exactly,this shit is a nothing burger with a small fries in the grand scheme of it. I guess people are not aware the the elite have a different set of rules and if you don’t know that than you are the stupid ones.

They are desperate and trying to claw and scratch their way to impeachment. They probably have a lot of nefarious shit to hide, and Trump threatens "business as usual." The reason Mueller's investigation is still ongoing is because once it stops, the President will be able to declassify everything and go after the heads of everyone who truly broke the law. Mueller will drag this investigation out throughout Trump's entire Presidency if he can to keep that from happening. The Dems are hanging on by a thread.

kim jong un: if I'm not willing to denuclearize, I would not be here"

 

[Culombo]

walid phares made a good point .. which is that the fact they're even having a dialogue and negotiating is due to trump going after china and engaging them ... china is n. korea's biggest trade partner and they're pretty much dependent on them .. china most likely took kju aside and told him he has to negotiate with the americans .. none of this is going on if trump doesn't engage china

Because the way he paid her off is illegal.
I know the GOP no longer cares about the law if their team breaks it, but will live in a world that has laws. If we start ignoring those laws, then we descend into chaos.
I teach my children accountability. I should at least expect that out of my elected officials.

BWHAHAHA! Such sanctimonious horseshit.

Hillary sold access through the Clinton Foundation.

Obama in the dead of night tried to be all sneaky and send billions in cash on pallets to the #1 state sponsor of terror even though Tehran still owes the victims of terror 60 billion or so.

Yet you are waxing poetically about Trump paying off a lady that he banged so she would shut her mouth and not blab to his wife?

We are witnessing a historic moment with Trump and Kim and you crybabies are whining about this pile of nothing. Is this what too much soy does to the brain?

Yeah, at least according to him, he never traveled for or was aware of collusion(conspiracy) and Trump might never have been directly involved either. We need to wait for the investigations to conclude to have more of an idea of what the Russians were up to and who exactly was involved.

Right now I'd say it's safe to presume the key figure is Manafort. It's possible he acted for his sole benefit and nobody else was aware. That doesn't really explain Trump's deference to Putin and is a good reason that we need to see what kind of financial ties Trump may have had to Russians or what plans he has to enrich himself when it comes to other leaders like MBS.

So Manafort is going to blow this whole Russia thing open now. Is that it?

When that fails who is next? Gary Busey?

Just quit.

Trump broke the law, lied about it and you don't care. Got it.

who knows what they would find if they went after obama on some made up bullshit charge .. no one would know or give a shit about this if this witchhunt hadn't been started .. it's minor shit anyways .. also obama did it as well .. no strikes for him though

 

[Joe]

Trumps lying is so insane. Trump almost doubled his already bloated net worth to get a loan from Deutsch bank so he can buy the buffalo bills.

Obama, Hilary. Stop it dude
Trump broke campaign law by paying off his large breasted porn star. HIs wife at the time was taking care of his new born.
The law is the law.
I get it, you only care about the law as long as your guy is not breaking it.
Trump broke the law, most people with an ethos would be like if he broke the law he should do the time. Trump Lickspittles are like if Trump broke the law, no big deal because I like him.
Fucking hypocrites.

Remember nobody else would loan him money. I had a higher credit rating than Trump prior to 2016

That hearing today was a joke. Cohen wasn't compelled to present evidence, he was just there to badmouth Trump with unprovable accusations. It wasn't a legal hearing either, so what was the purpose? A boring unfunny joke.

"unproveable"?

Cohen didn't present a check with Trump's name on it showing the lies Trump told about the campaign finance fraud scheme they were involved in, that Cohen plead guilty to and is going to federal prison for?

"was the check lying"? George Conway

Also, Trump's personal attorney didn't lay out what he has seen in terms of the bank, insurance, and wire fraud, etc., that makes up what all of Trump's loyalists have been saying Trump should be worried about in the SDNY, why Trump's former CFO is cooperating with the SDNY, and explain why Trump fired Preet Bharara as soon as possible to try to stop those investigations there?

"The words that he said today that would send a chill up my spine at the White House would be, 'I am in constant contact with the southern district,'" Christie said on ABC News.
https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...k-would-send-a-chill-up-my-spine-at-the-white

And the hearing today was because it's the house oversight committee and because the GOP controlled committees/Trump's defense teams have done shit nothing over the past couple of years in their roles, up to and including not doing any oversight of Cohen's previous bullshit house testimony back when it was for the purposes of Trump's defense.

You know their defense is pathetically weak when that is what they come here bleating after a full day of right wing spin.

He never actually owned the Bills, so none of this matters.

 

[grizzard2bid]

This is not true. Democrats and Republicans are both very much sold out to corporations man. They are both willing to fuck over the middle class in order to become rich and powerful themselves.

Principles are the ONLY thing we have to stand on as a country and as a people. If we lose them we have lost everything of value. Things start to fall apart when core principles are abandoned.

Trump is just the worst liar by far we have had and ironically he has support because he does it better and dirtier than the rest.

You're pretty obtuse if you think Trump is worse than Obama. Obama was a puppet in an SJW package. Bush JR, Clinton, Bush Sr were establishment darlings.
