When the guy seems to have no evidence or direct knowledge, and is convicted liar? Why wouldn't you trash the witness. This is a political dog and pony show. Cohen spouts off a bunch of speculations and maybes. The Dims will now use that to "investigate" because Mueller didn't turn up anything related to Russia collusion.

Yup, Mueller is the BENGHAZI!!! portion of the investigation & Cohen/Trumps legal & ethical problems will be “But Her Email!”
Reap what you sow.
Uranium One will be the next step.

Gotta love how someone who is guilty of crimes is somehow not able to testify against their fellow criminals according to some of these congress critters. Time to throw out our RICO laws. Time to allow everyone in prison that was put behind bars by someone who is also a criminal to be let out of jail according to these Republican Congresspeople.
Might as well never go against organized crime cause they're all liars and can't be trusted. We never get any convictions that way.anyway. /s

I didn't actually think it possible but the GOP is turning Cohen into a likable character. That is the level of their incompetence.
LOL, great observation... yeah, I am really liking the guy TBH.

Man the GOP is shameless here.

GOP to Cohen: you're a liar!!!

Cohen to GOP: I have documents if you'd like to see them that corroborate.

GOP to Cohen: You're too goddamn transparent! Attorney client Privilege!!!

You mean impeachment, a tool put in the constitution by the founding fathers?

I suspect you aren't as patriotic as you think you are.

Ben Franklin opined about impeachment. The threshold consistent "high crimes and misdemeanors" was properly described with another word Franklin used- "obnoxious". Trump's actions in office fit the meaning of "misdemeanors" that existed at the time of writing the Constitution. Funny how "Patriots" are either ignorant of or willfully distract or lie regarding that point. The reason that impeachment was included as an option for Congress was to provide an alternative which Franklin mentioned as the alternative, assassination, to correct a grievous abuse of office. Since killing a President was never off the table in principle then I doubt the Founders expected any President immune from criminal consequences in office or not. That there is no hint of protection supports that, unless as I say killing is the preferred route if impeachment is impossible.

Why is it that the supporters of Trump are generally the most ignorant regarding the Founders, Constitution and the rule of law? Those who are critical are anti-American in supporting these three most important foundations of our nation and gleefully piss on them whenever they conflict with their Dear Leaders and politburo.

Sit and spin, Norman. Norman is now attempting to call Cohen out for legally recording people.

I recorded him because he has a history of not paying." Good luck for Trump.

Now leave this thread and go post about this somewhere else. Also, blame the media for focusing on the President’s crimes and not what a random state delegate said.

Because they want strong leaders. Sounds Childish but think about work, working in a job with no titles or direct goals is a chaotic mess.
Working for someone who has rules & processes is much better.

They want a Strong Leader that makes all the decisions.

Except for the checks that Trump signed to reimburse paying off Daniels while he was president. Which he definitely wouldn't lie about since SDNY would know whether the checks existed or not.

Also Ken Starr didn't turn up anything related to Whitewater, but we know how that turned out.

Green now trying to attack Cohen for cooperating with the committee..

So, according to the Republicans:

Cohen's a liar. We KNOW he's a liar, because he lied in order to cover up Trump's criminal payoffs, and to cover up Trump's dealings with Russian mobsters.

Why don't the Republicans on this committee just repeatedly punch themselves in the face? It would be just as distracting and productive.

He does & they do. Easy facts to verify.

When does the Antichrist (Trump) get his own channel?

Well you seemed to miss the part where these middle-class types are violent and it's dangerous to oppose them if Trump is removed.

You still didn't answer the question of whether you support Republicans and Trump if he turns out to be a criminal. Again this isn't a question about Hillary, it's the current President or as stated for my part any criminal of either side and not talking parking tickets and the like. Not things I dislike or disapprove of for policy reasons. ISIS? We have much less to worry about with them than these violent middle-class people who would go after those who support the rule of law.

IF Trump is proven a criminal or anyone one else for that matter, they have no place in politics. Silly question or position. I would say that those who support the rule of law have nothing to fear from middle class people.

Brandon, I’m not trying to bust your balls. I’d like a real legitimate answer and I know it’s a complicated question.

What would Russian collusion look like to you. What hypothetical minimum proof do you need to say yes this is collusion. Minimum evidence feel free to speculate.

What would a financial or disclosure violation look like that was severe enough to impeach. Again hypothetically and feel free to speculate. What would be the minimum you’d expect to see and say yes it’s time for the President to be removed from office.

I promise no pushback, I’d like to know what those two things look like to you.
