Michael Cohen painted a very ugly portrait of President Trump in his testimony Wednesday — exactly as you’d expect from a guy whose hopes for the future rest entirely on doing exactly that. Yet he didn’t move the ball an inch when it came to any criminal charges or even on the “collusion” front.
Bizarrely, Buzzfeed is claiming the testimony confirms its long-debunked report that Cohen says Trump instructed him to lie to Congress about when negotiations ended for a Trump Tower in Moscow. That would be a crime — but Cohen plainly testified only that he “understood” that the president wanted him to lie.
What of his claim to have heard Roger Stone tell Trump that WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange had informed him the site was about to release damning Democratic Party e-mails? Big deal: Even if Assange is lying when he denies ever talking to Stone, none of it is collusion with Russia — it’s just gossip.
Cohen also undermined the “Steele dossier” that launched the whole “collusion” investigation, by once again denying the dossier’s claim that he had “secret meetings with Kremlin officials in August 2016” in Prague. Indeed, Cohen confirmed that he’s never been to Prague.

The deep state is throwing its full weight against those who would depose them.
We need to support President Trump and all those who are helping to root out the evil leftist presence in our government.

I will forgo asking if he will be “playing for the other team” when he goes to prison ...

Thanks, FrankR!
Even Drudge lost his woody for the guy.
It doesn’t matter when negotiations ended, so Trump had no reason to ask Cohen to lie about it. And, even if it mattered, Trump never would have been dumb enough to make such a request because Cohen could not have kept the truth from emerging.
That fits!
Remember the book by Michael Wolff that was supposed to bring down Trump.
That’s right, neither do I.
In 10 days everyone will have forgotten this lying testimony just like that book.
I believe the Democrats did this to put 'all the facts' in one document for easy reference in hope the totality would 'outrage the public'.
Democrats overplayed their hand. They cried WOLF! too many times.
Few people care. It's now background noise.
But it's OK if we say it!
No kidding. Drudge plastered his picture up there for nearly 3 days, before he realized it was one big flop.
