US Politics February 2019: This is one of the great losers of all time.

wow

"I've never heard the president say a racist remark."

uh the whole world has "tapes" of Trump making racist comments ffs

Someone said Trump is not a racist, how do you explain this?

Deny, deny, deny - it's all they have left. Just lie over and over, louder and louder.

Meadows is interrogating Cohen, interrupts him saying "hold on this is MY five minutes" lol

absolute state of this

For 1.2 million dollars... how many times did you meet with him?
Six times?
YOU'VE JUST WON 1.2 MILLION DOLLARS

these questions are boiling down to: it sounds like you did shady stuff? do you deny that?

clearly taking turns to interrogate and abuse, kinda cathartic all the way around.
THE RECORD REFLECTS YOU'RE NOT A NICE GUY

Cohen good at shutting down chucklehead blowhards like Jordan and Meadows.

Meadows' only things in his life is his GOP career affiliation, trying to get a job in Trump's white house and lying about his associate's degree.

Hice: This is the first time in the history of Congress to have someone testify who already convicted of lying to COngress.

As others have noted, Eliot Abrams testified last week.

Jordan's back!!!

I heard!

"I guess he thinks it's important."

Gotta admit, I'd love for Lanny Davis to come off horribly in all of this--what a creep.

actually burst out laughing at "I guess he thinks it's important"

Republicans: "you're a pathological liar," possibly problematic.

Gosar really trying to outdo Jordan huh

Is it possible for a Republican here to NOT act like a petulant child?

These GOP asshats are outmatched. They're scumbags, but they're stupid scumbags. Cohen seems like a smart scumbag.

didn't Poindexter testify too after his conviction? idk

Liar liar pants on fire POSTER!

They’re so vituperative. As if their colleagues wouldnt throw them under the bus too if the situations were reversed and they posed a threat to Trump.

Cohen came to me also.

:)

The old adage that our moms taught us: Liar liar, pants on fire

Pure amateur hour here

As if trump wouldn’t gladly watch them die if it was in his interest somehow.

"I'm responsible for your silliness."

holy shit

I really am obsessed with looking up wikis of all these GOP mofos as they speak so poorly because it's like watching a black and white picture being colorized.

the whole "well if he lied once then you can't ever trust him!" thing doesn't seem like the greatest defense in service of Donald Trump

looooooooool, I've only been watching for ten minutes but basically fist-punching at cartoon flim-flam man Cohen running circles around the inept elected oafs attempting to question him (and shouting him down for interrupting when he answers)

This is fucking amazing

"When he said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and get away with it, he's not joking, he's telling the truth!"

This is like a mob trial.

Cohen giving that GOP chump the good ol' NYC stink-eye.

The GOP strategy seems to be backfiring by encouraging him to break demeanor and get mean back.

I doubt this will make much difference. This will play spectacularly on FOX News.

what if Lionel Hutz, but versus dozens of off-brand knock-off Lionel Hutzes

I kind of can't believe Gosar is on any committee but then again they only recently stripped S. King of his.

This is all a show, of course, because Mueller and SDNY are well-ahead of this. But it is furthering what parts of this the public gets a peak at.

lmao

Why would Don Jr. would retweet this? pic.twitter.com/xx3fuBNe3t

the most shocking thing about all this is that...Cohen actually does seem to know how to be a lawyer? like, he's several times more astute and knowledgeable than any of the GOP'ers questioning him and is calling them out on their BS in a way that Democrats never do

this is a goddamn circus. incredible.

I love how whenever anyone starts talking, you can see Cohen scanning wildly to figure out where the voice is coming from.

damn, really missing out on the lols by listening to the radio.

yeah his responsiveness to his role here is either being very coach-able and well-coached, or acceptable+ lawyer/witness nous. so far and based on his previous bully-tactic inclination in public. i don't know what he looked like in court i guess. xp

WTF to asking him to commit to not making money from a book or movie deal.
