Yep, Michael Cohen is a proven liar. Just like all the mob witnesses to testify to put away mob bosses. His word can only be trusted now because:
• His previous motivation to lie was based on loyalty to a criminal enterprise
• His present motivation to tell the truth is based on the fact that his hope at a reduced sentence is contingent on only telling the truth
• Evidence that he is telling the truth will be based on corroborating documents and supporting evidence, not on his word alone.
• If Trump asserts that Cohen is lying about his financial record, Trump himself can easily disprove Cohen by releasing his tax returns and all business records. If Trump refuses to do so, it is his admission that Cohen is telling the truth.
April 22, 2018: President Donald Trump aggressively defended his personal lawyer Saturday morning after The New York Times reported on Trump’s sometimes poor treatment of the attorney, Michael Cohen, who the newspaper said might ultimately cooperate with federal officials investigating him.In a series of tweets peppered with insults against the Times’ White House correspondent, Maggie Haberman, and her sourcing, Trump wrote that she and the newspaper “are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will ‘flip.’ They use…….non-existent ‘sources’ and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family.”“Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected,” Trump continued. “Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if……..it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media!”
Again I say, who do the Republicans think Cohen lied FOR and on BEHALF OF? It is shameful that the GOP continues to defend him and I can’t quite believe it. All I know is the rest of us must continue to stand up to Trump until he is out of our house. The Republicans can’t spit in our face and tell us it’s raining.
If you were judging the case of a major crime boss and all the juiciest details were coming from the employees who followed that man’s orders would you refuse to think that crime boss was a mobster because the witnesses who carried out his wishes were?
One quick question to directly ask the reThugliCon’s who are questioning Cohen’s veracity today. ‘If your saying that someone convicted of lying should not be believed, why did your party accept the testimony of convicted and pardoned perjurer Elliot Abrams regarding the Administration’s plans for Venezuela?’
Quite possibly Representative Gaetz has the same constituency of morons, idiots and imbeciles in his district in Florida, that Devin Nunez has in California, therefore making both their various “stupidities” quite safe from the only critical ‘scorn’ that matters to either.
It is worthwhile to keep in mind that “Trumpians” in all parts of the country will continue to elect Donnie John apologists, no matter WHAT is exposed about Trump, because his supporters like and identify with HIM, not any of his policies!
The United States House of Representatives is about as “sane” as it’s going to get, right now, so we need to simply ignore the morons, idiots and imbeciles in the House – they are simply presenting a face that mirrors their various moronic, idiotic and imbecilic constituencies!
To truly correct this problem, the various states need to redistrict themselves to more adequately reflect a “one person- one vote” rule – this MIGHT reduce the number of pockets of insanity which give rise to Representatives such as Nunes and Gaetz
It is never too late to redeem yourself I guess, though it seems odd that Cohen wasn’t bothered by Trump’s racism until after 62 million people made it trendy by voting for Trump.
I is mind-numbingly simple. If Cohen lied it is because he was instructed to.If he was instructed to lie it was by his boss.If he is a Conspirator he was involved in a conspiracy with Individual 1
It is the most Lame defense to say “Cohen lied about Trump Tower Moscow on his own volition” Why would he?

Any prosecutor will tell you, When you prosecute a criminal organization, everyone involved is a criminal.There aren’t any “Good Guys” Sooner or later you have to weigh the testimony of those involved with other evidence.
Michael Cohen’s testimony makes sense, Unless you believe:
1 Cohen wan’t expected to be paid back for the payoff to Stormy Daniels.
and
2 Trump had no idea that Stormy was paid off by someone in the organization.
How long, if ever…will some of these hypnotized Republicans continue to defend, stand up for, believe in the devil and adore, regardless of what they are listening to today? I find it mind boggling that ANY one in their right mind can continue to pull the wool over their own eyes. Is party affiliation so important to them? (It is not really party…it is simply their blind belief in Trump!) Is it fear of retribution? Is it embarrassment if they have to admit to being duped? Michael Cohan has absolutely nothing left to lose. His life will forever be attached to this, yet I see a man today who is willing to go beyond that to let us know the truth of what he lived thru. I believe every word he’s saying today. He is not allowing the opposition to get to him. He refuses to give up and I commend him for that. It’s about time!! He has taken the first step in restoring the TRUE meaning of Trump’s precious MAGA!

How is it that they can defend Trump, since Trump lies?
