Why do I get the feeling this AP article is based on Mr Wheeler’s concept of selling the sizzle, not the steak?
After his testimony is done, hope we’re not like that lady in the Wendy’s commercial asking… where’s the beef?

I think Putin benefits from building up Trump, but also his downfall.

If Cohen does tell the truth, seems credible, and backs up his multiple testimonies with documents, tapes, and other evidence … then Trump’s new personal Viet Nam will be much worse than his original personal Viet Nam and it will happen while he’s actually in Viet Nam.

And bogus bone spurs will be of no help this time around. Enjoy the news coverage, con-man.

Maybe Trump should visit the Hanoi Hilton to see what a prison cell looks like.

I thought the Senate Intelligence Committee already decided Don the Con was in the clear.

[/quote]He probably thinks Hanoi Hilton is a distant relative of Paris Hilton … so he’ll go to see what she looks like and to attempt a quick grab.

Senator Burr’s reputation (such as it was) will suffer in perpetuity as a result of his aiding Trump by using his Intel Committee.

Yup, he benefits from the chaos, the loss of American prestige, the loss of American soft power, the whole sordid, tawdry mess.

And fleeing Canada is not a realistic option for him.
Poor strategy to be a dick to Justin Trudeau, simply because he had a stronger handshake, and Melania and Ivanka wanted to sleep with him. Hindsight–

Cohen will confirm small hands, small net worth, and small…well, um, er, you know…

Why bother electing these people to the Senate if their staff do all the work and are in charge of interviewing witnesses? What a waste. No wonder GOP Senators say they’re not aware of so many things with regards to this brouhaha. All relevant knowledge is held by their staff. This goes for reading legislation for these Senators as well. Its almost like they’re too lazy and too busy grandstanding to actually do the job they were hired to do. And for that, we pay them a six figure salary.

This is like christmas in February, something to liven up the dark months of winter. :smile:

I only wonder if Trump’s staff scheduled Trump’s day being fluffed by Kim to avoid him watching the hearings 24/7 and sending all kinds of incriminating tweets.

Michael Cohen to testify Trump broke the law in office, reports say – live
''https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2019/feb/26/trump-michael-cohen-news-latest-live-updates-north-korea-kim-jong-un-us-politics-today
Cohen is expected to discuss what he says he knows of contacts between Trump and Russia, and lay out hush payments – which Cohen says were directed by Trump – made to two women.

NBC News said Cohen plans to “provide evidence of alleged criminal conduct by Trump since he became president”, while the New York Times reported Cohen “will use documents and his personal experiences to support his statements”. He will be testifying under penalty of perjury, and will likely be met with skepticism from Republicans who will seek to draw attention to a track record of dishonesty.

Cohen, was sentenced to 36 months in prison in December, for crimes including lying to Congress about Trump’s business dealings with Russia, and facilitating illegal payments.

In his guilty plea, Cohen said: “I made these misstatements to be consistent with Individual 1’s political messaging and out of loyalty to Individual 1.”

Individual 1 was a reference to Trump.

Lanny Davis, Cohen’s lawyer, told the Times that Cohen’s response to questions about his credibility will be: “I take full responsibility, I lied in the past; now you have to decide if I’m telling the truth.”
