FOX: House Oversight and Reform Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News’ Bret Baier that President Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen “delusional” after a day of his testimony.
“I don’t think you can trust anything he says,” said the top Republican, who is charging that Democrats are bringing Cohen to testify so they can start their “crazy” impeachment process.
Jordan said Wednesday that nothing Cohen had to say had “any real value.”
Democrats invited Cohen to testify after he started cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
Jordan and other Republicans challenged Cohen’s credibility because Cohen is going to prison for lying to Congress in 2017, among other charges.
“How can you trust anything this individual has to say?” Jordan asked Baier. more here
It was a big game to rile up the sheeple. My instincts tell me they have inside info that Mueller’s report isn’t going to turn anything up for them. The whole reason Cummings and Shitt met with Cohen before testimony was so they can get enough of a narrative out there to hopefully justify there further investigations. Nothing but a shitshow.
If at first you don’t succeed, ………….
“Nothing but a shitshow”…………….indeed.
I watched most of the hearing yesterday. TBH, and I know I’m in the minority here, I felt sorry for Cohen; a broken man who by din of his own lack of a moral/ethical compass found himself buried in his own misdeeds. So now he changes sides and turns into a Cummings/Sciff mouthpiece in the hopes of salvaging even a semblance of dignity.
It was good theater but we learned very little. We learned that Cohen did not go to Prague, that there is zero evidence of Russian collusion, that Trump does not like disloyalty,that he is vain (not Obama level vain mind you but still vain) and that he paid money out of his own pocket to keep his infidelities from his wife. Didn’t we know all this stuff before Cohen up and made a fool of himself?
It does make me question Trump’s judgment a bit for keeping this bozo on the payroll for 10 years.
And the alphabet propaganda this morning are all parroting the same talking points and acting like this is the end of Trump. The only reason I turn it on in the morning is to check the weather and traffic report. Then I have to turn it right back off. It’s disgusting.
Go ahead, Democrats, set yourselves up for a whopping loss in 2020.
It served its purpose. It diminished the President in the eyes of the world and in the eyes of some people here.
Liberals celebrate killing babies.
Liberals celebrate nuclear weapons in the hands of our enemies.
I still stand with the President. I continue praying for him.
Just remember the check introduced as evidence by Cohen. That’s where this whole thing is going. They want access to Trumps money. That opens him up to the complex rules of the corrupt IRS.
The totalitarians have declared themselves.
Openly.
They are parading a known liar to lie further to advance their lying “narrative.”
They have defeated a bill that would have curtailed some forms of infanticide.
They have ignored the international ramifications of a North Korean softening.
They have pretended that “collusion” is a crime while ignoring their own “conspiracy” (which is, most definitely, a crime) to deceive and defraud their sovereign (which is TREASON) with the ObolaCare scam and their continuing misprision.
Their “Green New Deal” is a $94 Trillion abortion that is the opening gambit, the ante, so to speak. The stupid fukkin Republicans will then try to “compromise” down to, say, $20 Trillion, instead of screaming “NO! NOT A SINGLE CENT!”
Fecklessness conjoined with cowardice is a bad combination in politics – and the Republicans constantly (continually?) grope the two together.
The totalitarians have openly declared themselves: as nihilistic, God-less, hate-filled, pestilential, socialistic, parasitic, power-mad, murderous, treasonous, would-be tyrants – and we await – what? Exactly? What can they do, further, to make more plain their intentions? “Gun” control? “Open” borders? A “Living Wage” for those “unwilling” to work? Outlaw cow “farts?”
Canute ordered the tides. Xerxes flailed the waters of the Hellespont. Ramesses had the Jews make bricks without straw.

Cohen’s testimony only served to make the democrats look desperate for anything to use against Trump. Their narrative is collapsing and they’re groping for something to restore their momentum.
To temper my anger when I watch this bullshit, I just think of every Democrat’s head as a reactive target. That makes me smile.
Keep hacking at the republic, you stupid traitors, you’re getting closer to that high voltage line!
If Ryan hadn’t been such an ass and had stepped aside for a fair election, Jim Jordan could have become Speaker instead of Ryan’s choice now being minority leader and having idiotic democrats running these circus hearings,
Watching Michael Cohen testify yesterday made me wonder why Donald Trump would have this obvious third-rate Shyster as his lawyer for ten years? I’m sure that Trump had plenty of competent and honest attorneys representing him in other matters, but that he kept Cohen on the payroll to handle the more distasteful things that had to be dealt with as he became a target for shakedowns and extortion. Cohen’s lack of appreciation of the Attorney-Client obligations and his willingness to secretly record telephone conversations, showed what a complete sleeze bag he was during the years he was practicing law. Also, the way he cashed in after the election pretending to be Trump’s confidential insider displayed an incredible level of dishonesty. He needs to serve the full seventy years to pay for his incompetence if nothing else.
How many has President Trump employed? They couldn’t all be winners. And in the extreme losers, there are ungrateful and worthless scumbags. Why would anyone employ the person that Cohen revealed himself to be? Friggin’ lawyers are all parasites and self-servers, just to varying degrees.
“… why Donald Trump would have this obvious third-rate Shyster as his lawyer …”
Same reason some people keep a toothless whore in the basement.
There are some things that honorable people won’t do – and you (sometimes) need these things done. Trump made his fortune in construction. Construction is a dirty business, rife with corruption, payoffs, unions, inspectors, local code people, and other assorted crooks and shysters. You keep the toothless whore available to smooth the way – distract the crook – so to speak – so you can broker the deal.
Cohen was Trump’s toothless whore – he was (and is) willing to do anything – ANY-FUKKIN-THING – for a buck.
Fuck his own mother, rape a toddler, steal from the blind, kick the dog, poison the fish, hide the remote, water the whiskey – whatever it took.
(just my take on it – I don’t know him)
