Another Big Day
Author: BobR    Date: 02/27/2019 14:14:36

The day has finally arrived: Michael Cohen - unimpeded by loyalty to pResident tRump - is going to testify before Congress. The last time he was there, he lied. This time, he says, he is going to tell the truth, and has several documents to back up his assertions, including:

  • A copy of a check Mr. Trump wrote from his personal bank account – after he became president - to reimburse me for the hush money payments I made to cover up his affair with an adult film star and prevent damage to his campaign;

  • Copies of financial statements for 2011 – 2013 that he gave to such institutions as Deutsche Bank;

  • A copy of an article with Mr. Trump’s handwriting on it that reported on the auction of a portrait of himself – he arranged for the bidder ahead of time and then reimbursed the bidder from the account of his non-profit charitable foundation, with the picture now hanging in one of his country clubs; and

  • Copies of letters I wrote at Mr. Trump’s direction that threatened his high school, colleges, and the College Board not to release his grades or SAT scores.


This and more can be found in his amazing opening statement, provided ahead of time to Congress and WaPo.

  • tRump directed Cohen to lie to Congress

  • tRump continued working the Russia deal while campaigning for president

  • tRump knew in advance (from Roger Stone) about the Wikileaks email drop

  • tRump paid him $35k/month to reimburse him for the Stormy Daniels payoff (after he was elected and took office)

  • tRump knew about the Trump Tower meeting in advance


In amongst all that gold is this statement:
Mr. Trump is an enigma. He is complicated, as am I. He has both good and bad, as do we all. But the bad far outweighs the good, and since taking office, he has become the worst version of himself. He is capable of behaving kindly, but he is not kind. He is capable of committing acts of generosity, but he is not generous. He is capable of being loyal, but he is fundamentally disloyal.


Today is going to be fireworks.

So last night I made a batch of asian-style pepper pork buns.. HOLY CRAP ARE THEY GOOD!

I need to work on my dough folding technique tho. Some of em came out really small while others were enormous. And they all leaked!

Hi all. Got an easy one today. Drove 1 mile to a local hotel for a job fair. I get to look pretty and tell everyone how awesome Old Town Trolley is. Home early!

Mark Meadows and Gym Jordan need to SIT TF DOWN AND SHUT TF UP.

Hey, Jordan, tell us about the kid rapists you protected.

Just switched to the PBS channel.. way too many meme spammers & troll in the WaPo chat.

That said, this is funny.

Threaten to never release his grades or SAT scores. Remember when Donnie was asking for Obama's college grades? I guess he's afraid that a black man is smarter than him.

Cohen's having none of Gym Jordan's shit today.

All of the GOP jerks keep bringing up limits imposed on what questions that can be asked.

That limitation was removed before the hearing even began.

We were listening on Cspan radio while running an errand this morning -- HOLY CRAP this is amazing stuff!

I saw a few FB posts saying that Stone is attacking the hearings rather publicly.

Comment by Scoopster on 02/27/2019 18:18:08
Katie Hill is asking some fantastic questions, and destroying Mark Meadows & his bullshit antics in the process.

Comment by Raine on 02/27/2019 19:28:03
So far, two repubs have cried.

Gotta love Ms. Plaskett suggesting that the Florida congressman should face criminal prosecution.

So do you all believe Cohen?

Comment by Scoopster on 02/28/2019 00:29:22
I need to go back & listen to some of his testimony today.

Stuff like this.
