    The fact is, he's obviously looking out for himself.
    The most certain thing anyone can say is that he is looking out for himself. This hearing is political theater.

      A steaming load of hooey as in this interview with Jerry Falwell?:

      Is there anything President Trump could do that would endanger that support from you or other evangelical leaders?

      No.

      That’s the shortest answer we’ve had so far.

      Only because I know that he only wants what’s best for this country, and I know anything he does, it may not be ideologically “conservative,” but it’s going to be what’s best for this country, and I can’t imagine him doing anything that’s not good for the country. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifes...5f4_story.html

        Like most congressional or senatorial hearings of late, it's simply an opportunity for both sides to preach their gospel at the expense of the witness in a public forum.

            I'm not a Jerry Falwell follower (he died in 2007) and never have been. Nor am I a follower of Jeffress. They were/are entitled to their own opinions.

              And it should be pointed out that he was referring to Jerry Falwell Jr - but you are correct, as usual.

                Never said he was. But I provided a very good example of yet another evangelical leader who goes all the way in his support for Trump and cannot see any error in what he does.

                    Yet it's not attributed to his "magnetic personality", which were the words used by the person posing the question.

                      Seems you are more interested in neglecting my point than to adress what those persons are actually saying. Interesting.

                        They don't speak for me or for Christianity in general.

                        I also addressed what they were saying here...

                          Chuck, either address the topic of the thread, or get out. You started your own parallel thread, so go pick your nose over there. Don't do it here. Thanks.

                            And now there's this...

                            Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, admitted that he discussed with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) “topics that might come up” in preparation for his Wednesday hearing before the House Oversight Committee.

                            “I spoke to Mr. Schiff about topics that were going to be raised at the upcoming hearing,” Cohen told Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) when pressed about the pair’s past discussion.

                            “Whoa,” Jordan responded. “Not just what time you’re going to show up, but what you’re going to talk about? Whoa.”

                            Woah indeed! Could these scum sink any lower?

                            (I have a feeling the answer is yes.)

                                I love this part....

                                Cohen said he acted to benefit his former boss and his campaign for president in 2016 out of “blind” loyalty which he now realizes was misplaced.


                                So, Trump was his best bud when things were going good, and Cohen was angling for a job in government, and....

                                The former Trump lawyer told the panel that being around the real estate “icon” was “intoxicating” to the point that he ignored his conscience.


                                He can "ignore his conscience" because he's "intoxicated" by being around a famous person?

                                Yes, this man can be TOTALLY trusted to babysit your teenage daughter on Friday night, and to tell the truth at all times.
