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

oh my STOP REPEATING YOURSELVES

"will you agree to donate all your money to charity?" "No"

Cohen is no worse than the republicans on this committee. He was just doing the same thing—protecting Trump.

Cohen has been around intensely corrupt idiots his entire professional life (not sure about before then), just not on live TV.

GOP senators literal children "mom make him do it!"

I would rather swallow bleach than spend five minutes with Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan.

GOP senators

These hearings are in the lower chamber, the one run now by Democrats.

hahaha my rep is up now get fucked

The senators are children too.

legitimately curious how Hannity is gonna cover this

All of the GOP just can't admit they got conned as well, or are just willing to throw the country under the bus to make sure that babies that don't even exist might have the potential to be forced into existence.

xpost priapically

That might've been the first effective Republican exchange--by this point, meaningless, but Cohen didn't look good there.

Hannity: This Cohen fella is a despicable lying liar who's going to jail for lying and every word out of his mouth is a lie. Please forget I hired him to represent me. I swear I chose him for his impressive depth of legal knowledge, not because he was a corrupt bagman willing to do some dirty work. When I found out he was a dirty liar you could have knocked me over with a feather!

That last guy was a Republican? Seemed like a friendly questioner.

as per NYT: "Jonathan Weisman, Congressional Editor: Amash is no friend of Trump’s. He’s a libertarian, has crossed swords with the president many times, and he’s showing it."

Lots of mentions of Weisselberg, who has a limited immunity deal in place. Hmm.

(xpost) Yeah, just looked up Amash's Twitter:

@POTUS just declared a non-emergency an emergency.

@POTUS44 once called a war a non-war.

Just as I’m speaking out now, I spoke out then about unconstitutional actions by the president: http://youtu.be/XsEDLxi45u4

Defend the Constitution no matter who is in charge of government.

gimme a fuckin break lol poor trump in vietnam

lol who is this fucking guy

This guy is adorable trying to sound tough

"trying to make this country safer for everyone"

"Allegations you can't substantiate"? But he has.

i think that last bit was a bombshell no?
trump paid cohen to lie about a conspiracy while in office. Presumed, but not actively stated as fact. that shit is impeachable offense, no?

current guy is a sputtering moron

Oh god this Gibbs guy

this guy is the worst

Bob Gibbs, bless his heart.

Lol that terrified yield

LUCRATIVE BOOK DEALS THO

it's rich that this super capitalist, individualist GOP party is against making money on a book deal.

Is he DRUNK? Gibbs' mumbling, I mean.

jim jordan is such a fucking piece of shit ! i'm not a violent dude but i would kick his stupid ass

has Jim Jordan ever worn a suit jacket in his entire life?

Is he DRUNK?

It is after lunch, you know.

There is such a fundamental lack of integrity

dem questioners all super sleepy wtf

They all know who trump is and that cohen’s testimony is true. They attack cohen’s credibility but in every way cohen is objectionable, trump is worse. Nihilists.

I'm starting to think the president might be a crook.

This Higgins guys seems like a good Christian.

jesus this is a loathsome dude speaking now

Jim Jordan also called the police because he felt bullied by the wrestlers who said he ignored sex abuse.

the boxes make a return!!!!!

He's on this question about the boxes that were returned by the Mueller investigation.

This guy is a moron.

aw yeah boxes

jesus christ

i have to admit i'm faintly impressed by the cojones of cohen at this point, though i suppose he has nothing to lose. do we assume the "i want to be a man of integrity" thing is just him preparing for his parole hearing?

this fucking idiot !
