Mister Cohen Goes to Washington

Ironic that Capone was brought to justice with own his tax returns,
likely tr*mp will have that in common with him.

Of coarse, 'ol Don has already given Vlad the nuke codes and
the planet will be held hostage, lol.

Hence the reason his collusion testimony was held behind closed doors. What is really interesting to me that the government is working it’s way around the attorney/ client privilege rights. Setting precedent for future cases.

Thank Donnie’s TV lawyer for waiving Donnie’s attorney-client privilege for him....

The irony of "Cohen can't be trusted but trump can" seems to not be important.

I recall the mocking slogan that was around during Nixon's time. There was an image of Nixon's face and under were the words: "Would you buy a used car from this man?"

This is what I thought when I first saw Mr Cohen. My imaginary text-bubble over his head read: SHIFTY!

“Poleaxed” was my first thought on seeing him...and he stayed that way for a while.

Based on today, he’s trying on his human face

To the completely fooled GOP base, it’s *not* important

Finally turned on the DREADED MSM to see some highlights of the day's events...first thing I see is DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ sitting on the panel, actually being allowed to speak. Wtf is wrong w Dems in Florida? Why is this fukn pathetic, lying, scumbag, criminal kunt allowed to represent you?
Turned that shit off immediately. Gonna transplant a few cuts instead

Fuggetabouttit, Rob - it’s *Florida*....

I predict this will prove two things. That they are all corrupt as can be and always have been. And that the murican public will not stand up against it.

Paving the way for even more corruption.

I very much hope you’re wrong: I try to keep anger out of it, it makes for stupid mistakes and bad choices. That’s why I watch these things when I can (heard today on the radio) - the words are one thing, but the delivery is a physical performance, and you can learn A LOT about a person by watching them in circumstances that are not their usual groove.

CNN was reading some of his prepared testimony tonight, only caught a part where Cohen said trump had him get a straw buyer for a trump self portait.

G `day RL

You must have missed the part about the portrait being paid for by donations to a charity ?

Ouch !

Thanks for sharin

EB .

Most people would pay to have his portrait removed from their home.

Hope they get around to it while it’s still legal to take down Dear Leader’s face

still waiting for that collusion & hacking proof lol

Pretty obviously not his department - I certainly didn’t expect revelations on that front. He said so pretty straightforwardly.

Some of the revelations I *did* hear:
- Cadet BoneSpur had no bone spurs, no surgery;

- Trump was (prolly still is) very hands-on at the Trump Org, demanding and getting the last word on everything, no one did anything with his go-ahead or without reporting back;

- Individual 1 *is* DJT, Executive 1 is DJTjr, Executive 2 is Eric, the Gary Busey clone;

- the payment for AT LEAST one porn-star was reimbursed after the inauguration, when DJT was president, making it a crime in office;

- The Trump Tower Moscow was *always* a matter of persistent pursuit for DJT, and therefore for Cohen;

Also, I thought his closing statement was pretty compelling.

He no longer comes across like a concussed gopher.

The bulk of the Dems seemed clueless, AOC was a true stand-out: her questions were brief, focused, direct, clear, and got good info about where to look for answers to questions he couldn’t answer.

The rest of the Dems who came up after her were also solid, the focus of all these post-break questions was on insurance fraud, tax fraud, and financial mischief of all sorts.

Despite the fact that all the GOP members had their time before the break, they continually interrupted the proceeding, taking up as much as a third of the post-break session: mostly to get ream soft articles taking Cohen apart read into the record, otherwise the only flap was when the last Dem objected to the fact that a black woman was used as a prop to “prove” DJT *couldn’t* be racist, calling it “a racist act”. The GOP member who did so spent many minutes sputtering about the impossibility of his being a racist.

The woman in question, a former TO employee and ‘friend of DJT’, apparently was asked no questions, made no remarks, simply stood there as background while Mr. GOP offered her as proof that it’s impossible to be a racist if you have “a black friend” (believe it or not, this is where the notion of ‘the magic negro’ came from racists love to claim they can’t be racist ‘cause of “my black friend(s)”).

The matter was settled: no one was calling Mr. GOP a racist, the playing of the Magic Negro card was a racist move (to say absolutely nothing about the shabby and obvious misuse of the trick itself).

Cummings’ closing remarks are worth a listen, as are Cohen’s. Neither man is a good public speaker, but they were both quite eloquent in their respective ways.

It sounds like Trump did break the law, and that he did do things to conceal that fact, which might be felonies.

Another thing: Cohen related a conversation about DJT taxes in which DJT said he didn’t want people digging thru his financials *because* he didn’t want to be audited...other than that, he never heard anything about an audit under way. He referred the committee to Weisselberg, TTO accountant.

And another thing: harkening back to DJT’s hammering of Obama’s SAT score, Cohen said one of his assignments was to make sure DJT’s SAT scores and college transcripts *never* got released, which lead to Cohen threatening lawsuits against the institutions. Guess DJT figured he wouldn’t look good in comparison.

2.5 years of investigation and say it with me kids... STILL YOUR FUCKING PRESIDENT!

I thought those hair-blowing photos were very entertaining.

What other president could bring us such entertainment ?

If the wind blows Pence's hair, nothing happens.

Likely pence never gets blown. lol

That's sodomy.

We all can agree that being a lying cheating conman is not a crime.

We're not looking to impeach, the damage can be undone with the next administration,
if we can survive the next several months without him taking the planet hostage.

But, as the cache of the US of A is tarnished under his watch we all can sit back
and wonder just how low we are willing to see him take this nation down.
