Michael Cohen testifies in an open session tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. DEMs will no doubt try to damage the President as much as possible. I hope some of the REPs on the committee get Cohen to say something that contradicts other statements he has given. If Cohen lies again, new charges should be brought against him. Cohen testifies to the Senate Intel Comm today (closed session), and the House Intel Comm Thurdsday (another closed session) https://www.washingtonexaminer...in-dark-about-russia It would be a great service if the Cohen appearances helped increase the store of public information on the Trump-Russia furor. But even though Cohen is a key figure in the matter — his name is mentioned 24 times in the so-called Trump dossier — the hearings appear designed to prevent the public from learning anything new about the Russia matter. First, two of the three hearings will be held in secret; both the Senate and House Intelligence committees plan to question Cohen behind closed doors. Those are the hearings that will delve into Russia. The hearing that is public, before House Oversight, is specifically structured not to touch on the Russia matter. There is good reason for all the questioning to be public. Cohen is not a government official and has no classified information to share. His 24 mentions in the dossier have been publicly available for two years. His conviction on lying to Congress — specifically, his falsehood about the timing of Trump Tower Moscow discussions — is also public. His own case is over and done with, and he will soon be behind bars. Furthermore, Cohen has already answered questions from the House Intelligence Committee, and all members, Democrat and Republican, voted to make those answers public. "There's no reason to prevent him from testifying publicly since he previously spoke to us in an unclassified setting, and the Democrats supported our motion in the last Congress to publish our interview transcripts," said Intelligence Committee ranking Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, a former chairman of the committee. (The Cohen transcript has still not been publicly released; GOP lawmakers say the intelligence community is dragging its feet on a routine pre-release review .) Some might argue that with the investigation of Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller not yet closed — although there are reports that is coming soon — Cohen should not speak publicly about an ongoing investigation. But the fact is, on Feb. 6, Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff announced a new Russia investigation that will, if carried through, recover much of the same ground as Mueller. That means what Cohen has to say about the Russia affair is now the subject of an ongoing House investigation — the Schiff investigation — and the House owes it to the public to conduct the probe in public. Instead, Schiff will keep Cohen's answers under wraps. Over at the Oversight Committee, the one that will be open, Chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings has ruled the hearing will not be about Russia | |||

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...rcuit-judge-n2542296 The Senate confirmed President Trump’s judicial nominee for the notoriously liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday in a straight party-line vote. Seattle attorney Eric Miller, a former clerk to Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, was confirmed 53-46 to replace Judge Richard Tallman, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton. Miller was confirmed without the “blue slip” consent by the judge’s two home-state Democratic senators . Democratic Sen. Patty Murray and fellow Washington Democrat Sen. Maria Cantwell did not return blue slips for Miller. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx about time REPs started treating obstructionist DEMs w determination to get things done I think the overall DEM game plan was to massively obstruct President Trump appointments and then to impeach him early in his term. But the phony Russia collusion fabrication fell apart and they couldn't pull off a quick coup. | |||

My wife, who apparently has a stronger stomach and more patience for this kind of nonsense than I, is watching the circus. So far, apparently Trump has threatened Cohen and his family and Cohen was pure as the wind-driven snow before Trump corrupted him  How anybody could value the word of somebody who rolled over on somebody whose affairs they were pledged to keep in confidence is beyond me.

“How anybody could value the word of somebody who rolled over on somebody whose affairs they were pledged to keep in confidence is beyond me.” That’s nothing to the democrats. Those in congress are worse than that and do far worse to us and the country. Absolute scum. Every single one. | |||

Anybody else watching the live Cohen House oversight committee testimony? Pretty crazy. | |||

I saw his opening statement. Haven't watched the Q&A. To me it seems pretty damaging. At this point, what does Cohen have to gain from making this stuff up? He's already been sentenced. Revenge? I don't see him coming in and completely fabricating stories and evidence for that. | |||

Yes, the end is near. | |||

More wild allegations that lack evidence of illegality. Stone talking with Wikileaks and Trump knowing about it, even if true, is not illegal and not a crime. ____________________________________________________ New and improved super concentrated me: Proud rebel, heretic, and Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal.

Cohen admitted that his lawyer Lanny Davis has been working with top democrats to prepare for his testimony today. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." Mark Twain | |||

I'm not watching and don't care what he says. When they invited a guy recently convicted of and sentenced to prison for lying to Congress to testify before Congress, that's when I decided it wasn't worth watching. | |||

| Go ahead punk, make my day |
What can he gain? Favorable recommendations / reference for a future parole hearing, assurances his family could be taken care of, stories to try to sell in a book... etc, etc... Not to mention credibility - he'd going to jail for lying, after all. | |||
