Two of President Donald Trump's closest allies on the House Judiciary Committee referred Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to the Justice Department Thursday for possible criminal prosecution, claiming to have evidence that Cohen"committed perjury and knowingly made false statements" to lawmakers during his day-long testimony Wednesday.
The criminal referral -- sent by Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the Oversight Committee, and North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows -- outlined several areas of testimony they urged the Justice Department to investigate, including Cohen's claims Wednesday that he did not seek a job in the Trump White House, his denial of committing bank fraud, as well as his assertion that the did not have any reportable contracts with foreign entities.
Well done.
Just add their names to those of McConnell and Graham on the list of politicians who ,by their own actions, have forfeited all rights to retaining the respect of the majority of Americans. They are now part of 'the problem' which will destroy the GOP.
They should look in the mirror first as see if they recognise what pathetic immoral sycophantic low lives they have become in their desperate attempts to defend the indefensible pathological corruption which permeates every corner of Trump's administration
What are these two Clowns hiding? The man is going to jail for 3years. Racism is ugly.
He lied at least three times so he should be prosecuted...ask Flynn...
Nothing but mudslinging distraction, to undermine testimony, by Mark 'Racism in the Meadows' and 'Gym' Jordan.
How many times does the Russia narrative have to collapse before CNN gives up on it? 🤔
I want to see the birth certificate of Mark Meadows. The real one that shows that Mommy didn't have to change the monogram on her towels.
Oversight committee should be investigating them
Of course
HOW ABOUT THAT!!? TALKED TO THE DEMOCRATS BEFORE TESTIMONY!
Just pitiful...childish...immature...crazy.
Do they not understand a perjury investigation can and likely will corroborate everything Cohen said!
Why didn't Cummings refer Cohen for perjury? It shouldn't have taken a Republican to do it. The Democrats were too busy trying to create another smoking gun.
Cohen’s lies were “deliberate and premeditated.” Bank Fraud Campaign Finance Violations False Ethics Filings Fraud Conspiracy** Making False Statements**
Two angry white men.
These self serving men need to be voted out, they add no value to the democracy of this country.
This is just a case of the pot calling the kettle white. Both of these jerks would say anything to support trump because he has enough on them to put them on the same cell block as he will occupy.
Why don’t they just join Trumps defense team. That’s where they belong.
Is that wrong to do if he committed purity?
Complicit in the demise of our democracy!
Those two are dumps star fluffers. They would eat his turds before they would ever do anything right. Ill bet they commit perjury every day of their lives. Just like dump. No one will admit it. But its plain as day.
No, actually, the justice department should investigate these two for unethical conduct or obstruction of justice.
These two are complicit in trump’s systematic destruction of our democracy. They should be defending America against his demonizing of the press, his bullying, and his pathological lying
Check out the two of them first! Something stinks about them.
Yeah the sick narcissist who relentlessly tried to rattle and distract cohen during his testimony. These pukes want to go down with trump 👍
Why would he risk a longer prison term by perjuring himself. Why won't the President answer the substance of Cohen's allegations. He hired this guy to lie for him for 10 years and he did. The evidence is clear.
He purging himself .alot🙄😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
BecauseJimJordan is THE expert on integrity & perjury...there’s some high school wrestlers that say differently...
President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen says in congressional testimony that he declined the chance to work in the White House, even though Trump wanted him to. Democrats star witness lies to them again Check out dcexaminer’s Tweet:
So sad..... partisan politics are destroying the nation! What ever happened to good old fashioned common sense. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... it’s probably...... a duck!
Caption 'Ok Jim, whatever you do, don't give up your time before introducing the motion...now where is my prop'
There is more than enough evidence to show that Meadows IS a racist. Jordan protected homosexual predators at Ohio State. Both men should NOT be in Congress or at least on Committees.
And your shocked that a man convicted of lying would be referred to the DOJ for...lying?
AustinJimenez But the Republicans aren't concerned that President Trump lies to and misleads the American people. That's okay. NOT!
Instead of looking at crooked Trump realDonaldTrump
Idiots
'Shame on you, Mr. Jordan [Jim Jim_Jordan ].That is not what I said,' Cohen said,stating that he 'took responsibility' for his mistakes and is remorseful. 'We have some absolute warriors, Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, Matt Gaetz, Ron DeSantis' Trump. USA Election Mueller FBI
Again!!
OK. Even when their claims would be true, it only would make Cohen a bigger liar. Lying about wanting a job in WH, bank fraud and hidden connections to foreign companies is bad. It still will not help these GOPers to disvalue the proofs and stop investigations that hit Trump.
Hes going to jail because he lied to protect their leader to begin with. They are angry ppl
... Looks like they'll have to get in line, what they also need to do is. get them a fire retardant suit, cuss he's hotter than molten lava right about now!!!
While you are at why not add Jared and Don Jr to that list!
More obstruction, witness tampering, and fuckery by the party of 'law and order'.
Hopefully they put that with investigating Kavanaugh and Sessions and Whitaker.
If you watched the hearing he contradicted himself time after time even with the democrat questions he could keep his answers consistent.
MichaelCohen Love it-Cohen will be spending the next 10 years Lying to prisoners about the quality of food in stir & the comfort of his concrete slab bedding! Credibility? 0...Isn't this the guy who started a gofundme. for himself? Reprehensible human being! a Lawyer-go figure
I hope in the next public hearing with Cohen testifying, that the Republicans dig very hard on Cohen's meeting with the Democrats of the committee beforehand, finding WHO he met with, and getting into very explicit details of WHAT was discussed!
Whatever happed to checks and balances?
I'm sure the committee will get on that as soon as they finish their delicious plate of HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES NOW?
Those 2 idiots ought to be charged with making a false statement to the Justice Department
Guy who made racist jokes about Obama and guy who covered up the sexual abuse of athletes are mad about their displaced loyalty, got it.
If the shoe fits, wear it.
Lol and it never ends. Morons. The rats are still feeding in the swamp . Wait.... soon be hearing the scurrying of the rats jumping ship.
thoughts and prayers
This guy is digging his grave deeper and deeper. You should’ve just went to jail and kept his mouth shut. You reap what you sow
Bless their hearts.
礼儀作法なし、コーエンSHOCK
Can we investigate MarkMeadows for perjury for saying he's not racist? What about Jim Jordan for denying he's addicted to crack?
so much compassion for one another, they could have killed him. anyone cares? CNN? BLM?
Cohen's greedy. 3 years Isn't enough time for him. KAG
MarkMeadows should be investigated for lying when he said he was not a racist
One is a racist, the other a sex offender. Must we say more?
He made at least two lies under oath on Wednesday that I heard.
To bad they are more interested in grandstanding than standing for this country. Meadows your complicity of facts and your words don’t match. Character is not your strong suit.
Do did Cohen lie about Benghazi?
Yesterday's news
They're mad that Cohen stopped lying about the President being innocent? Do they understand what they're doing at all?
合意破壊
They are idiots. Whether or not Cohen 'wanted' a job in the whitehouse calls for a subjective response. All he has to say is 'I know some people think I wanted a job in the whitehouse, but I really didn't; because I know that President Twit wanted me in the WH to keep me quiet!'
Complicit losers!!!
Yup, I'm certain that a man on his way to prison for lying to Congress would stop by on his way to lockup and lie to extend his sentence.
Roswell a better use of their time.
of course they are...
The dumbfuckery continues
What planet have these 2 lame brains been living on?
They will do anything to protect the corrupt president and probably they are corrupt themselves....
these two are gonna end up in the same place as cohen cant wait so keep kissing trumps ass. cohen did nothing wrong we all sat and watched it so keep on making yourself look stupid you know bring in your props lol we know trump told you to do that
