1. K&R for visibility. nt

[Docreed2003]

2. K&R

Let's hope he does!

[exboyfil]

3. But was he in or near Prague?

That is one thing I want to hear.

[greblach]

22. No, but his cell phone was

One theory is that he loaned a cell phone to Don Jr. and he was in Prague...and Mueller has the cell phone....

[malaise]

4. Get thee to the greatest page

NOfuggingW!!

[NewJeffCT]

5. the Republicans are gearing up to attack Cohen

and his credibility all next week, both in the hearings and in the media. They're probably testing talking points with Frank Luntz as we speak.

[Funtatlaguy]

6. Would love to pull off Luntz toupee andshove it up his arse.

[malaise]

8. Well that won't look good

He was the Con's personal lawyer for over a decade. I'd love Hannity to go after him

[PatSeg]

34. Oh yes

I wonder what Cohen knows about Hannity. It sure seems like Sean has aged a lot ever since the FBI searched Cohen's office and home.

[malaise]

37. And exposed the fact that Hannity was one of his clients

I'm betting that they have chapter and verse on Hannity

[PatSeg]

42. And apparently Cohen only had TWO clients

So what are the odds that Hannity was the non-corrupt one?

Gives us something to look forward to!

[malaise]

48. Hehehehehehe

Clearing my calendar for next Thursday

[PatSeg]

50. Same here

"Hold my calls all day!!!"

[malaise]

65. Heard overnight that the public hearing is Wednesday n/t

[PatSeg]

68. Ah, I'll have to clear my calendar!

[bluestarone]

20. I'm sure he knows some shit

About some of these REPUBS that will attack him!!! Could get VERY interesting!! Maybe the WHOLE fucking world will COLLAPSE around these fuckers!!!

[malaise]

45. They had better be careful

Cohen was Deputy Finance Chairman of the RNC until mid-June last year.

[renate]

62. Aw yiss....

I totally forgot about that!

[Harker]

7. Dean should know.

This is worse than "Worse than Watergate."

[SayItLoud]

9. Hope someone asks Cohen about the Abortions tRUMP has paid for...Evangelicals need to know nt

[pangaia]

10. Mee tooo

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

32. They won't care. They stood by Fat Donnie during the Access Hollywood tape scandal.

He's fighting the LGBT community on their behalf. He went to the National Prayer Breakfast. He can quote "Two Corinthians." He's building a wall to keep the Catholics (many Hispanics are Catholics) out of our Protestant nation.

What's a little abortion or five between friends?

[lunatica]

43. It was a long time ago, so it's OK anyway

Youthful indiscretion.

He’s repented and god forgave him.

Fake News!

Squirrel!!

[NewJeffCT]

46. they'll give him a mulligan

or 8 for the abortions

[California_Republic]

63. Blah blah god works thru flawed individuals

[Trueblue Texan]

67. They won't really care...

...oh there will be some hand wringing and "prayer" about it, but in the end they'll find a way to rationalize it. Hypocrites.

[peggysue2]

11. Hope the media isn't overselling this

In any case, I suspect Cohen's testimony will lure a gazillion eyeballs and ears. From everything we've been reading, Michael Cohen knows exactly where the bodies are buried.

Going to be a humdinger of a hearing! Strap in tight.

[happybird]

29. He's known to tape conversations, too

Hopefully he taped some with the shitgibbon and his vile offspring as insurance.

[Mr.Bill]

31. Mueller probably already has those recordings from the

raid on Cohen's office.

[happybird]

39. Definitely

Makes me giddy just thinking about it.

[justhanginon]

33. I think the media will try to impossibly oversell the testimony and

then when it cannot quite measure up to their over the top hype they can all pooh pooh it as not worthy. Then there will be the interminable interviews with republican shills with lie after lie to explain it all away and no pushback or fact checking from the interviewers. In other word, media situation normal.

[JDC]

12. Kicking this up

I cannot wait to hear this

[matt819]

13. I'll believe it when I see it (nt)

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

14. Let's get the popcohen ready!...nt

[True Blue American]

16. Crank up the DVR!

[malaise]

52. DUzy

popcohen!

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

57. Hi malaise...

Thanks.

[malaise]

58. You're welcome

Clever

[elleng]

15. unless putin's gang gets him first.

[moondust]

17. Is Cohen in witness protection?

He sure as hell better be. Family too.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

36. He should stay away from doorknobs, umbrellas in elevators, small airplanes, balconies

in tall buildings, and anyone controlled by Russians, like Rep. Nunes or Moscow Mitch.

[kag]

55. My thoughts exactly, LastLib.

I hope he has a food taster.

[brooklynite]

18. So, an ordinary day at the office?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

26. Who among us does not get such messages every day left on our cells?

Even we who are on the Do Not Call List....... .........

[Baltimike]

19. knr, but grain of salt: Lanny Davis is a registered spy. Seriously. nt

[duforsure]

21. Between now and when he will appear

Expect trump to threaten him and family members even more. He'll use suggestions for others to go by , just like Stone did against the judge. trump thinks he's above the rule of law. He may do the same thing against the Manafort and Stone judge also. Use vague suggestive threats using others by inciting them.

[triron]

23. So far it seems as if Trump is above the law.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

24. I would hazard a guess that every member of Cohen's extended family...

has been found and is being pestered and threatened. The right-wing mob will keep up the pressure until he's dead. That's the Republican way.

[DallasNE]

28. Like That Coast Guard Guy

That was recently arrested that had a hit list of Democrats and MSNBC personalities and liberal Supreme Court justices.

[Javaman]

25. Ill believe it when I hear it. nt

[DallasNE]

27. But Will It Make Any Difference

Nothing has so far. 5th Avenue is littered with the bodies he has shot - so to speak. His base remains solid. And now Barr has put the pressure on Mueller to wrap up his work in another weed, effectively firing him. Nothing sticks. He remains untouchable.

[happybird]

35. The deplorables will never stop supporting him

They're that unchanging 28- 30% approval he never falls below. I think those are the racist/xenophobic/homophobic/sexist/militia douchebags. They'll never change. Eff 'em.

Who needs to see all the sordid, corrupt details and lies are the millions of voters who picked Dump because he wasn't "establishment," wasn't Hillary, or because they thought he was funny (puke), or they thought he really was a successful, self made businessman, and those who bought his Populist bs. Butter emails!!! All those lame excuses.

The evidence of his deep corruption (which we warned them about, again and again) needs to be shoved in their faces. Hard.
Make it unrelenting and undeniable so they wise the eff up by 2020.

[lunatica]

47. Who cares whether his base remains solid?

Let them. The only thing we can do something about is getting our majority out there to vote. Fuck his base.

[zonkers]

30. Feb 27th --- fitzmas!!!

40. LOL! Who'd a thunk it?

44. Michael Cohen set to "tell the story of what it's like to work for a madman" in upcoming testimony

49. Can we have a split screen on tRump while Cohen speaks.

I just want to watch him wet his pants.

[fascisthunter]

51. You Must be Disturbed to Support Trump at this Point

[Submariner]

53. But her EMAILS !!!111!!

Focus people, focus.

[lark]

54. Think I need to replenish my popcorn supply.

Need to get prepared for endurance tv watching. Can't wait to hear Dems questions and his responses as well as the Russian Repugs snide, stupid remarks and attempted obfuscation of the facts. Wonder how far they will go and his responses to those as well?

[BigmanPigman]

56. Which committee and which day will he say this?

He is going to speak to one in public and the other one behind closed doors. The House Oversight is on the 27th and public while the Intel Committee will be on the 28th and private.

[Honeycombe8]

59. Hmmmm. Should be interesting. nt

[lagomorph777]

60. Tweet content here, for the tweeter-averse like me:

I asked Cohen’s attny what he’ll say? @LannyDavis responded while my cell was off: “He will pull the curtain back and we will hear true stories of Trump’s complicity in crimes, and his immoral, bigoted, and morally vacant character in specific, detailed personal anecdotes.”

[kimbutgar]

61. And this testimony will happen when the orange maggot is out of the country

His photo op with NK Kim will be overshadowed and demolished by Cohen's testimony!

[moondust]

64. No reason to lie.

Previously Dump claimed that Cohen was lying to try to get a lighter sentence. Even if that were true then, this time Cohen has already been sentenced so the Dumpsters can forget about trying to make the lying-for-a-lighter-sentence claim.



ETA: I was wrong. Rachel reports there can still be a reduction in his sentence for cooperation.

66. Thanks, triron!

69. John Dean is 80 years old...still clicking and singing a song...
