In the wake of President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen telling key House Democrats he has new evidence against his former boss and that he wants them to help keep him out of prison for as long as possible, Republicans are lambasting his claims and credibility. Democrats, on the other hand, have remained largely silent on the matter, making it unclear whether they will adhere to the latest plea from the president’s former “fixer.
“There is no doubt that Mr. Cohen’s testimony, both public and private, has contributed substantially, with documents and other evidence, to triggering additional areas for investigation by law enforcement authorities and the Congress,” Cohen’s lawyers wrote. “He has done so despite intense personal pressures and stresses he faces for himself and his family. However, with 30 days left before he surrenders to prison, time is no longer a luxury he is capable of.
Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, the top Republican on Oversight and a member of the Judiciary, also questioned Cohen’s motives. Meadows and Jordan, both to the press and during committee hearings with Cohen, have blasted the former Trump lawyer as not credible, labeling him an “admitted liar” for past false statements made to Congress. Cohen pleaded guilty for, in part, knowingly lying to the Senate and House Intelligence Committees about Trump Tower Moscow discussions with Russia during the campaign after Trump indirectly encouraged him to, according to Cohen's February testimony to the House Oversight Committee.
Along with their letter to the key House Democrats was a 12-page memo and more than 100 pages worth of documents, which was obtained by BuzzFeed News, that Cohen’s attorneys said provides further evidence detailing their client's claims he was directed by Trump to lie to Congress.
This is starting to look and sound more and more like the docket full of Germans at Nuremberg...

The GOP just love whining and hate not being in charge in the House.

Democrats are waiting for the shoe to drop. The GOP who aren’t Freedom Caucus members need to realize how stupid they make the entire party look.
