Michael Cohen's shocking picture of Trump's mob-like world https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/28/politics/donald-trump-michael-cohen-world/index.html It was either the betrayal of a proven liar who is making up tales to save himself or the courageous act of an unlikely hero rising above his dirty past to provide a national service, Most notably, Cohen produced a personal check for $35,000 that Trump signed while in office that appears to show that the President reimbursed him for hush payments he made to women who claimed affairs with the then-GOP nominee. Cohen also claimed that he had overheard a call in which Trump's longtime political adviser Roger Stone told the then-GOP nominee in 2016 that WikiLeaks was due to dump a new trove of emails that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton. And he said Trump knew in advance about a 2016 meeting between a Russian lawyer and his campaign team designed to deliver "dirt" on Clinton. Michael Cohen says 'changes' were made to his planned 2017 testimony to Congress Since Trump previously told Mueller in sworn written answers that neither of those statements were true, he could be in legal and political jeopardy if Cohen or prosecutors can provide corroboration of Cohen's claims. "I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is. He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat," In a startling exchange with Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier of California, Cohen said he had been directed by Trump to threaten people probably 500 times. According to his testimony, lying came as easily as breathing. Every day, most of us in the room coming in ... we were going to lie for him on something. And that became the norm, and that is exactly what is happening now in this country," Cohen said He also said the President's lawyers had reviewed and edited the testimony at issue -- another serious charge. "Everything was done with the knowledge and at the direction of Mr. Trump," Cohen said. His comment could undermine Trump's denials that he had known anything about the many meetings between his aides and Russians. Since Cohen has likely told everything and more that he said Wednesday to Mueller and other prosecutors with whom he has been cooperating, Trump's exposure could be acute. And claims by Republicans that Cohen cannot be trusted were partially undermined by the fact that if he is proved to have lied in Wednesday's hearing, he risks having time added to his sentence. After the hearing, a tired Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings delivered a verdict that may augur a fateful moment in American history when he was asked whether Trump may have committed a crime in office. "It appears that he did," the Maryland Democrat said.
So in his hundreds of recordings of Trump he surely must have some evidence to back all this up? Racist comments? Trump ordering the threats? I think most Americans, except for the NeverTrump zealots, are tired of this shit.
30% believe him entirely, 30% don't believe anything he says, and 30% thinks it's all a scam and both parties are full of shit. The other 10% are watching pornhub.
Good point all of his testimony needs to be backed up with evidence. According to his statements much of his information is in the hands of Mueller including potential documents that confirm his testimony. It should give everyone pause that if Cohen is lying he’ll likely spend many more than 3 years in jail.
Interesting, multiple people have direct evidence that he was lying about seeking to get a job in the Trump admin. And no collusion, - this is all just the swamp's never ending obsession to sling shit on Trump. It stinks.
I know you guys don't care about Trump's character or morality, so let's give him a pass on,.. "Racist comments? Trump ordering the threats?".. that's just small potatoes all the shit you're tired of,.. is just preliminary. Of course there's evidence, and Mueller has it,.. you're just impatient, frustrated because Mueller hasn't shown what cards he's holding yet. You don't actually believe Mueller has nothing, do you? . This is pretty serious,.. Trump knew in advance about a 2016 meeting between a Russian lawyer and his campaign team designed to deliver "dirt" on Clinton... and Michael Cohen says 'changes' were made to his planned 2017 testimony to Congress,.. by Trump's lawyers Since Trump previously told Mueller in sworn written answers that neither of those statements were true, he could be in legal and political jeopardy
Duck is leaving out the evidence Cohen has. Or, by chance, Duck believes the word of a convicted liar to congress now? When someone who has lied under oath repeatedly, their word no longer has any value. Unless Cohen has tapes, which he doesn't, this was a political display meant to reduce his sentence. Know how I know? Because if he had evidence, he would not have been able to speak about it. Even CNN said last night he lied yesterday. Again on CNN, their own panel couldn't even agree the check was breaking the law because: A: Personal money B: Can't prove intent
