Cohen Dog & Pony Show

Apparently, they didn’t get enough lies out of Michael Cohen the first few times, so they’re giving him several more chances to lie before he goes to prison for lying. I had to mute the sound on my TV as I watched him tell lie after lie, based on the obvious script from which he was reading. How obvious can you get? The lies became more and more damning, again with NO PROOF of anything, only his unsupported word. The word of a PROVEN liar. I think it’s instructive that the chairman of the committee before which he is lying today has, himself, been impeached as a judge, for corruption. Yet he pretends to be “investigating” corruption in others. Cohen claims to have been Trump’s go-to man” (fixer) for a long time, but in actuality he was only a peripheral figure in Trump’s life, for a very short time, actually not doing much of anything important for him. Yes, he has lost everything, but that loss is his own fault, because he was once “associated” with Trump in some small way. Add to that, what he is “testifying” to today is a complete violation of “client privilege,” for which he would be disbarred, if he had not been disbarred already for lying to Congress. This is a low-life fool who is obviously trying to lessen his time in prison by lying about the president—and the Dumocrats are letting him lie, so they will have another narrative to pursue, true or not.
