Michael Cohen: Another bust for Russian conspiracy hopefuls.

[Mountain Man]

I love this part....



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



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.

It's Trump's fault for being so intoxicating!

It don't get no gooder than that!

Adam Schiff says that that Cohen's testimony "bolstered his credibility", and Elijah Cummings says, "I believe [Cohen] told the truth."

In other news, Michael Cohen admits that he met with ranking Democrats including Adam Schiff and Elijah Cummings prior to the hearing to discuss "topics" that would be covered.

No doubt these stories are entirely unrelated.

How this basically goes...

Cohen: "Trump committed dozens of crimes"

List them. All I saw was he showed Trump to be an immoral skank. I already knew that. The only possible crime I saw was about the payoff to Stormy. And I am not sure I believe his version on that one. It sounds to me like the sort of thing a lawyer would come up with to shield his client rather than the client coming up with.

What other crimes did you see?

[Sparko]

Or

Republicans: "Cohen is liar! You can't trust anything he says!"
Cohen: "I don't know about Russia..."
Republicans: "We believe you!"

Except if he did know, why would he lie about it since he was there to trash Trump?

Here's a list of some of them

Here's a list of some of them

That was a pretty short list and other than the one I mentioned, the others have no evidence at all, other than hearsay from Cohen. Like the whole "perjury" one. All we have is Cohen claiming that he overheard a conversation. And obstruction of justice? That was just Cohen admitting what he did wrong and even saying Trump did not tell him to do it. But he just "knew" what Trump wanted. Mind-reading isn't evidence.

This is just all hearsay and rumors.

You mean a list of a lying convicted felon's accusations of crimes....

One is enough.

You apparently don't see the irony of a Trump supporter calling out Cohen for lying. "Since taking office, Trump has made 7645 'false or misleading claims'.

"Since taking office, Trump has made 7645 'false or misleading claims'."

And if you believe that, then you'll be interested in this great deal I have on a bridge in Brooklyn!

And if you believe that......

I trust The Guardian and Fact Checker database and my own ears far more than the questionable extreme Right sources with which you regularly regale us.

Money quote from Michael Cohen's recent testimony before Congress:

"Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia. I do not."

The nexus of the Russia thing is close to Manafort, not Cohen. Cohen knows a fair bit about the fraudulent financial stuff and there are connections to Russia through Deutsche Bank. DB are now cooperating.
