Elijah Cummings, D-Md., like Pelosi, downplayed the idea that his panel's seven-hour hearing had represented a significant leap forward on that front...(snip) The...

**SNIP** The weird thing: Since what Republicans were trying to do was save the president’s hide, they should actually have hoisted Cohen on their shoulders, sung “Hava Nagila” and done a nine-hour hora. His testimony and answers actually helped the president when it came to the matter of Trump’s possible impeachment. It turns out his lawyer-fixer doesn’t have the goods. Early reports on what Cohen might say suggested he was ­going to tell the committee that Trump told him to lie to Congress about his alleged porn-star payoffs. That would have meant the president had suborned perjury - a serious...

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...

While President Trump was away on a diplomatic mission to Hanoi to negotiate a nuclear deal with Kim Jong Un, the media breathlessly turned its eye to Capitol Hill to hear from a sleazy disbarred lawyer.

Forget North Korean nukes, the true threat to Democrats and the...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said her experience in the service industry helped her question Michael Cohen because it allowed her to hone her “razor-sharp BS detector.” “Thanks! Bartending + waitressing (especially in NYC) means you talk to 1000s of people over the years.

During Michael Cohen’s testimony today, Debbie Wasserman Schultz was one of the people who questioned Michael Cohen.
