DC: JORDAN, MEADOWS REFER COHEN TO AG BARR FOR ALLEGED PERJURY AT OVERSIGHT HEARING.
Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Mark Meadows of North Carolina referred Michael Cohen to the Attorney General William Barr on Thursday, alleging that the president’s former attorney perjured himself in the course of giving testimony at Wednesday’s hearing before the House Oversight Committee.
“Mr. Cohen’s testimony before the Committee on Oversight and Reform on February 27, 2019, was a spectacular and brazen attempt to knowingly and willfully testify falsely and fictitiously to numerous material facts,” the letter to Barr from Jordan and Meadows states.
“His testimony included intentionally false statements designed to make himself look better on a national stage. Mr. Cohen’s prior conviction for lying to Congress merits a heightened suspicion that he has yet again testified falsely before Congress,” the letter concludes.
The letter details six distinct points supporting an investigation into whether Cohen’s testimony Wednesday before the committee was truthful.
Meadows, chair of the House Freedom Caucus, and Ranking Member Jordan contend in the letter that Cohen’s testimony denying defrauding any banks is intentionally false. They point to Cohen having already pled guilty, among other related charges, to a count of making false statements to a banking institution. more here
Time to step up, Barr. Let’s see if you’re just another clock-punching, Standup Guy, DC lifer like Chris Wray. You dont seem too keen to rock the boat, and that has me concerned.
Bravo!!! Democrats have gotten away with this shit long enough, it’s about time to put a stop to it once and for all.
Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!
Here’s the litmus test for Barr. Lets hope he’s not another Jeff Sessions with meat on his bones.
This guy epitomizes every stereotype that has ever been attached to sleazy lawyers since the beginning of time. He’s a real piece of work.
I predict AG Barr will be gone like a fart in the wind in no time. He’s too juiced in to DC to be effective.
Barr’s got better things to do……like a round of golf.
So nice if they get Lanny Davis for subornation of perjury. That might cause some dominoes to fall.
“If I say a thing I know is not perfect truth – it is a flat perjury.”
“Thou shalt not bear false witness …”
He’s a lawyer. He cannot be held to account – at least while he lives – and then he’ll answer to a higher authority than Barr.
Fairly certain that Cohen doesn’t believe in God; but God may have His eye on Cohen.
izlamo delenda est …
The moron just talked himself into a much longer jail sentence. The whole committee was an exercise in buffoonery.
For some reason the guy reminds me of Romney
“So nice if they get Lanny Davis for subornation of perjury.”
He’s more likely to replace Barr as AG than ever be charged with anything.
…nice thought, but I’m sure Mueller granted him immunity before this latest farce started, so no dice…
Trump as Executive branch, a equal branch of govt, needs to start demanding things from Dems like emails, etc from Schiff, etc on Cohen and if pushed tax returns of Pelosi, etc. He has the same right as they do. He needs to get with Fitton and demand immediately everything Fitton wants. Two can play this game. If they don’t comply, he doesn’t need to comply. What are they gonna do, impeach him?
