  • Michael Cohen: Another bust for Russian conspiracy hopefuls.

    Money quote from Michael Cohen's recent testimony before Congress:

    "Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia. I do not."

    Mrs CP says they're hammering Cohen pretty hard about what a liar he has been. We always expect to get the best testimony from convicted liars!
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Cohen comes to Congress and slams Trump hard. I mean, really, really hard.

          But he says "I don't know" about collusion with Russia.

          Well, that pretty much convinces me that Trump didn't collude with the Russians. Mueller's report could change my mind about that, though.

            Looks like he lied today already:

            A CNN panel said Michael Cohen made a false claim Wednesday when he said he never wanted a job in the Trump White House during his testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

            "The one potential problem that I thought Michael Cohen has is when he was asked if he wanted a job in the White House, and he said no," correspondent Dana Bash said. "Our reporting, I know, Pam, you have been told and I have been told, all of us, by people in and around the process real time, he very much wanted a job in the White House."

              IIRC there was a lot of eye-rolling in Washington at the time as Cohen strenuously campaigned for a position in the Trump Administration

                For the past week the MSM has been hyperventilating in anticipation of Cohen's testimony and how he was going to blow the lid of all the illegal activities and colluding with the Russians that Trump was engaged in. And much like the hype over Rachel Maddow having Trump's tax returns what we got has amounted to yet another

                    Not at all. It's true that Michael Cohen is a liar, but it's also true that if he had anything on Trump, he would have spilled it on day one in order to save his own skin, so it's probable that he's telling the truth when he says that he is not in possession of any evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

                        How this basically goes...

                        Cohen: "Trump committed dozens of crimes"

                        Republicans: "But what about RUSSIA? Other crimes are irrelevant."

                        Cohen: "I don't know about Russia, I can just tell you about all the other crimes I know about."

                        Republicans: "See! Trump is innocent!"

                        I guess they put their "law and order" and "tough on crime" banners through the wash and they shrunk and unravelled or something. They must have new patented polarised glasses that cause them to see and hear no crimes at all unless they specifically involve collusion with Russia. All other crimes are not crimes anymore!

                          Right. He knows that flipping on Trump is his ticket to freedom, so if he says he's got nothin', then he's probably telling the truth.

                            Cohen: "I don't know about Russia..."
