A while back, when the GOP controlled the House, there were hearings about Trumps interactions with foreign entities prior, during and after the election. Michael Cohen went to testify. He provided Trump with his planned statements PRIOR to testifying. These planned statements were full of lies and Trump new. There were no tweets about Cohen being a liar. Then Cohen testified and gave false testimony (for which he will spend time in prison). Trump new that Cohen lied to congress. Once again, no tweets from the orange being about Cohen’s lies. When Mueller uncovered Cohen’s lies and indicted him there were still no tweets from the tweeter-in-chief. Nor were there any grandiose statements from the GOOP members of congress about Cohen being a liar. No “Liar, liar, pants on fire” posters. But once Cohen is forced to testify again to set the record straight (with verified facts), Trump goes on at tweet storm, and his cronies feign disgust. They don’t have a problem with lying to congress if it furthers Trumps interests. But if he tells the truth, only then is he a liar.
