Today the Russian collusion fantasy died. Michael Cohen was the last gasp effort by democrats to prove something that did not exist. democrats will rue this day.

Despite throwing one smear after another at Trump, Cohen admitted that he saw no evidence of collusion.

“Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia. I do not."

Cohen admitted that he colluded, er, I mean spoke with Adam Schiff about the topics they'd visit today

Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, admitted that he discussed with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) “topics that might come up” in preparation for his Wednesday hearing before the House Oversight Committee.

“I spoke to Mr. Schiff about topics that were going to be raised at the upcoming hearing,” Cohen told Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) when pressed about the pair’s past discussion.

“Whoa,” Jordan responded. “Not just what time you’re going to show up, but what you’re going to talk about? Whoa.”

One of the funniest parts was Cohen making a hilarious claim:

For those who question my motives for being here today, I understand. I have lied, but I am not a liar. I have done bad things, but I am not a bad man.

Rep. Jim Jordan summed things up really well:

Chuck Ross added this

-No Prague

-No pee tape

-No evidence of collusion

-No direct order to lie to Congress about Trump Tower

Elijah Cummings gave hyperbole a bad name praising Michael Cohen

I believe he told the truth. I’ve been practicing law — first of all, as I said in there, I practiced law for many years. And one of the things that I did, I represented a lot of lawyers who got in trouble. And I’m used to watching witnesses. I think that, he — first of all, I think he’s very — something, a lightbulb went off in his head, I guess, and he said, you know what, I’m going the wrong way, and I want to change things. I want to reverse things. And I think he’s remorseful. And a lot of people said, oh, the reason why he’s coming in is because he just wants to get his sentence reduced. I think that’s not likely.”

And then the laugher:

What a dopey looking mofo.

[MagUSNRET]

Precisely what I was thinking...kinda like a deranged or stoned bloodhound

[Steely Tom]

What about the FISA warrants?

[bigbob]

Trying to keep them from going after his wife, who is deep into his financial schemes. Which probably won’t work anyhow.

I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He did not implicate Trump in anything. The worst you can say is that he accuses Trump of doing the same thing Bill Clinton did. But he exonerated Trump on Russia and the GPS dossier.

[Texas Eagle]

He’s got the look of a guy that just expects that his name will be added to the Clinton Body Count.

That expression on his face reminds me of Reverend Jim of Taxi fame.
