    Cummings made an early mistake, by quoting some of cohens statement.

    Jordan is an asshat..

    Cohen is compelling

    He has documents proving that he threatened high schools and colleges on behalf of Trump.

    I would not doubt that the left will find a convicted felon and con man's opinion is compelling.

    Yeah... that's fun, but not legally important

    If you think that Cohen has an incentive to lie during this sworn testimony when everyone is skeptical and at least half of the attendees are seeking any justification for placing him into jail for longer, then you are fooling yourself.

    One thing that is legally important: Trump allegedly told Mueller in writing that Roger Stone didn’t tell him about WikiLeaks. Now Cohen is saying that Stone told Trump about the WikiLeaks dump in July 2016.

    To catch a bigger felon and a bigger con man?

    That's how it works in the real world

    Poor Donnie. On the day he's trying to qualify for the Nobel Peace Prize two events conspire to remove the spotlight. His character is accurately described in a Congressional hearing and two nuclear armed countries stumble toward war.

    Of course he has a reason. Hate and wanting to try and absolve himself with the Trump haters. He is still gives a lot of opinion and non-criminal activities.

    Agree somewhat.. I'm still in the camp that its trump directing the Daniel's payoff, which Cohen just stated, that is the biggest threat from Cohen... but there are a lot of pokers in the fire today..

    No.

    A circus typically doesn't detail every act it plans to present to the public.

    Whether he's lying or not is largely irrelevant ... he hasn't SAID anything of consequence. Trump paid legal fees ... allegedly Stone predicted a Wiki dump before the election. What Cohen has SAID, is that Trump did not direct him to lie to congress.

    Still wish Cohen could prove that interaction between Junior and Senior... that would be a huge story as well

    Meadows and Jordan are not about to let this Cohen rat
    go unscathed.Or the Democrats.Jordan already did a magnificent
    job of explaining what this is all about.Making Chair Cummings look
    really silly.Ironically that was what Elijah Cummings tried to do
    during the Benghazi hearings but instead proved what a shiil he was.
    Plus he got caught secretly E-Mailing Benghazi info.
    He also Endorsed Hillary before the F.B.I./Justice Dept. investigation
    was completed.
    He's a Shill and a steady Freedie Democrat Liar.

    And also didn't direct him to lie about anything else. Cohen didn't need to be told to lie.

    This is something of significance: Trump allegedly told Mueller in writing that Roger Stone didn’t tell him about WikiLeaks. Now Cohen is saying that Stone told Trump about the WikiLeaks dump in July 2016.

    Cohen is 'saying' something that cannot be proven. Cohen is going to jail for lying.

    Cohen's testimony so far sounds like Cummings could have written it.

    I would assume you mean "threat" of lawsuit for violation of privacy, in the event school records were leaked or pawned? Yes ... despicable. :roll:

    Yes, they would have violated their terms should they release his private records and with their very loud opposition to him seems quite pragmatic on his part.

    He said/she said testimony. Totally believable from a felon convicted of lying.
