That guy has been apologizing for 5 days now ?
Another bullshit I’m sorry if you were offended non-apology. I believe this asshole is worried, as he well should be.
I was upset at what was transpiring and chose my words poorly.
I think you said exactly what you intended, trying to cause more harm to Cohen’s family.
Cohen had the quite gracious reply.
I do not wish any harm to you or your family. I was upset at what was transpiring and chose my words poorly.
Yeah, okay.
Ironic how the possibility of prosecution for a felony can bring out Gaetz’s until-now hidden gracious side.
Super weak-tea apology. Transparent.
Cohen’s response is generous.
The caution that Michael Cohen gave at the end of the hearing - that what he became willing to do on behalf of Trump, and the dire consequences that have resulted - is a warning that comes too late for Gaetz.
You know, DAMN, I am sorry I robbed that bank. I hope the police, prosecutors, judge and jury will take that into consideration. I already spent the money but I am sorry about that too. I am also sorry if you are offended by people who rob banks.
I hope this POS spends some time in jail. It will be the first time he had to suffer the consequences of his actions.
He wants to make sure that
Mueller heard it
SDNY heard it
McCabe heard it
Pelosi heard it
Cummings heard it
Schiff heard it
Swalwell heard it
‘I Chose My Words Poorly’
Where by “words” he means “life direction.”
LEO can do that.
Has he?
It may come as a surprise to him how few people care.
What a bunch of BS. Has Gaetz ever met Cohen? Gaetz wasn’t on the committee which would have made it worse, but still… And how would Gaetz know if Cohen had “girlfriends” or not? I guess if one has a law degree and this is the level of maturity that one shows the only place for them to be is in the Congress as a Republican.
Pro tip to Matt: That is you and that is how you operated.
You implied that you had knowledge that Cohen had mistresses you were about to reveal. On what planet would revealing that not be harmful to his family? So there is no way you can reasonably claim you didn’t intend to hurt them.
Disbarment and house censure are appropriate, of course felony witness tampering couls and should also be added to the mix.
Oh? What is the proper vocabulary for witness tampering, may I ask?
Something more subtle, more nuanced. Like Frank Pentangeli’s brother showing up at the hearing. No need for words.
Texting an apology lacks thoughtfulness and sincerity.
A handwritten apology is what’s called for, Matt. Or have you misplaced your crayons?
Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.
