Another conserve’s simplistic view of the law. Cohen would have much more to lose by lying to the courts than lying to the public. An acceptance of his confession would have to be backed up by overwhelming evidence. And now David Pecker has been granted immunity, which indicates that he also has something more damaging to the Rump. Keep it up Mr. Varvel (and Mr. Kelly) your comics are going to be the joke in itself.
Except that if he lies to prosecutors, he’ll get the worst possible sentence! Conservatives seem to selectively forget that Cohen is a lawyer and knows exactly what would happen to him if he submitted false testimony.
Varvel, remember that Cohen was hand picked by YOUR GUY and was his personal lawyer and fixer for years.
And YOUR GUY also specifically picked all the other felons convicted so far.
.
Trump Disciples are happy with Republican sabotage of investigations into Russian interference of our elections because they want Russian interference — it helps the Right people win.
We don’t care why Cohen is coming clean, we only care that long time Trump loyalist Cohen is telling the truth. We certainly won’t get that from Trump.
“For an increased outrage of Trump’s base, I’ll tell you whatever lies you (his base) want to hear about (those who no longer worship) Trump.” – Gary Varvel
Contrary to the implication of Gary’s cartoon, Cohen has made no deal for a lighter sentence.
I will concede — though this is clearly not what Varvel is suggesting — that Cohen is hoping that by telling the truth he will avoid an additional sentence… for perjury.
“For a reduced sentence, I’ll tell you whatever you want to hear about Trump.”
If true, that’s good, since the investigators and the court want to hear, “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”. Real truth, not Giuliani-“truth”.
Mueller wouldn’t give Cohen any deals for evidence that would be impossible to try to verify. So Cohen has little incentive to invent and a lot of incentive to be truthful. His testimony by itself would be about as useful as this suggests. Far more likely that he’s telling the truth.
Durn good thing that Cohen’s testimony isn’t the only single piece of evidence that shows Trump is a lying, cheating, scheming crook, a man unfit for ANY public office.
Yes – and what they wanted to hear was the truth about Trump, and they got it. Trump corrupted our Democracy and Cohen knows almost everything about what Trump has done.
There really is a Story here. It’s the rise of the Right Wing Cartoonist ! All of us can name the right wing cartoonists on this site, but only one Left wing. ( Ted Raal) The cartoonists on our side are just doing Middle of the road work Making fun of things that can’t have a political slant. kids shouldn’t be in cages, Alex Jones is Bat S#it crazy we are drowning in more debt due to tax cuts, you know things that are irrefutable truths. Where did the current crop of Right Wing Nut Jobs come from? Lisa Benson and her Democrats are Socialists. Gary Varvel and his “everyone that opposes Trump is a Liar” Tom Stiglich and his “All immigrants are MS13”
No prosecutor will bring charges without enough evidence to make it stick. A “story” from Cohen would not be enough. I’m sure there is enough hard evidence to put a lot of people in jail.

Varvel’s a dumpster sucker.
The head of the biggest rumor rag (Nazinal Enquirer) named “Pecker”? Maybe the pee tapes have finally been found.

No way Mueller is going to believe Cohen at face value, Mr. Varvel. He is not a Devin Nunes or Trey Gowdy that go on real witch hunts.

Now, Varvel, can you draw Trumpski with an entire forest growing out of his face?

If lie actually caused your nose to grow. Trump’s would be so big he could sit in NY and his nose would be in LA.The truth hurts

Which truth is Trump is saying isn’t truth. Any truth that isn’t his, believe me.

Crooked Cohen does not have to lie,
the FBI has all of his records detailing his business with liar Trump.

Too bad that Cohen has recordings to back up his claims, isn’t it Mr. Varvel?

Nailed it. Sing or compose.
Mueller has had access to Cohen’s files and recordings for 4 months now. The only song we’ve heard appears to be a Mueller composition.
Still waiting for a link between Trump and Russia. Waiting. And waiting.

Yes, Trump Disciples all demand absolute proof of links between Trump and ‘Russia if you’re listening’.
Just like they demanded absolute proof that Obama was born in Kenya.
That Obama is secretly Muslim.
That OBAMA IS COMING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS!
That Obama is going to invade Texas — call out the guard!
That the press is the enemy of the people.
That Hillary was running a child sex ring in the basement of a pizza parlor that didn’t have a basement.
.
All the while suppressing and sabotaging and and all efforts to investigate those links.
Some are still claiming there was NO Russian interference in our elections.
