Michael Cohen tell Trump anecdotes in House testimony -- nothing more

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen will refuse to answer questions about ongoing investigations but is willing to tell anecdotes about working for President Trump when he appears on Capitol Hill, two Republican lawmakers said on Tuesday.

Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina and Rep Jim Jordan of Ohio said their staff discussed Mr. Cohen’s planned testimony in February with his lawyer and spokesman, Lanny Davis, a longtime Bill and Hillary Clinton loyalist.

The two said Mr. Davis was evasive when asked if Mr. Cohen is paying him. They wondered whether the entire plan is a “media stunt initiated, produced and financed by career Democrat political operatives as a way of scoring political points against the president.”

The two said Mr. Davis successfully convinced Elijah E. Rep. Cummings, Maryland Democrat and chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, to hold a public hearing––with lots of strings attached.

Looks like Lanny Davis, Elijah Cummings and the Rats have set up a character assassination show on President Trump.

[Nifster]

And none of that has any meaning

Anecdotes? But will he do a soft shoe routine for our entertainment?

[Bullish]

Just imagine if our side did this to democrats what the caterwauling would sound like. The republicans just bend over and say 'kick us again' every time.

Many in the GOP still despise Trump. So if this useless “lawyer” says a bunch of stories that make Trump look bad it’s fine by them.

The Dems will look very foolish if this is true.

This won’t go over well at all, imo.

Let me guess..Trump eats pizza with a FORK..OMG IMPEACH IMPEACH

Is he getting paid for this stand-up routine?

I wonder if Pres. Trump will have an attorney at the hearing to “object” when any potential atty\client privilege might start to be discussed.
Plus have WH counsel (Flood ?) there in case there might be executive privilege involved if Cohen starts talking about official POTUS business.

Anecdotes - Once upon a time......

[LeonardFMason]

REPUBLICANS need to repeat over and over and over again that Cohen is a convicted liar. Ask him again and again:
“Have you been convicted of Lying to Congress?”.
“That makes you a liar.”
“NO ONE believes you Mr. Cohen.”
“Was this testimony arranged by your Democrat activist Lawyer Lanny Davis?” When he says NO:
“Are you lying AGAIN Mr. Cohen?”

Every minute a Republican spends, every sound bite, should be calling this weasel a “Convicted Liar”.

WHAT IS TRUMP’S FAVORITE COLOR ?

YOU ARE UNDER OATH !

[jazusamo]

I agree, emphasize the fact he’s a liar.

Elijah would have a fit. lol

[Syncro]

Lanny Davis is a scummy Clinton sycophant.

He will throw Cohen under the bus if there is any way he can.

But Cohen has pretty much inserted himself under the tires of the bus already.

Two scummy lawyers lol

[jazusamo]

Amen to that!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Nah. Just a lame stand-up routine.

[lee martell]

Mr. Trump needs some form of legal representation there, so long as it’s NOT Rudy. Anybody but him.

[cradle of freedom]

I would like to see the Republicans subpoena Lanny Davis about all that he knows about the Clintons. This is like Hilary Clinton intervening in the investigation and she certainly has a lot invested in what Mr. Cohen has to say.
