Michael Cohen’s book manuscript shows that he committed perjury on a scale not seen before. He must have forgotten about his book when he testified. What does Hillary Clinton’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, say about this one. Is he being paid by Crooked Hillary. Using her lawyer?

...and the fraudulent and dishonest statements he made on Wednesday. No way, it’s time to stop this corrupt and illegally brought Witch Hunt. Time to start looking at the other side where real crimes were committed. Republicans have been abused long enough. Must end now!

Congress must demand the transcript of Michael Cohen’s new book, given to publishers a short time ago. Your heads will spin when you see the lies, misrepresentations and contradictions against his Thursday testimony. Like a different person! He is totally discredited!

Wow, just revealed that Michael Cohen wrote a “love letter to Trump” manuscript for a new book that he was pushing. Written and submitted long after Charlottesville and Helsinki, his phony reasons for going rogue. Book is exact opposite of his fake testimony, which now is a lie!

Great to be back from Vietnam, an amazing place. We had very substantive negotiations with Kim Jong Un - we know what they want and they know what we must have. Relationship very good, let’s see what happens!

Trump is a liar of the highest order, a worthless cretin, a self-aggrandizing piece of excrement. In short, he is worthless, foul and needs to be excised from the human family by natural causes ASAFP.

7. There is no book, no manuscript. There was only a proposal.

Cohen, who for years worked as Trump's "fixer," shopped a book called "Trump Revolution: From the Tower to the White House, Understanding Donald J. Trump" to publishers earlier this year and reached an agreement with Hachette imprint Center Street to publish it, the Daily Beast reported in May.

But the project was canceled after news broke that Cohen was being investigated by federal authorities and his office had been raided by the FBI.

This article was published last summer, after Cohen pled guilty. So there is no book and no manuscript at this time, though I would expect he'll eventually write one. Ironically, the lies he would have told in this book, had he not been busted and the deal canceled, would have been flattering to Trump.

So, running this through the Universal Translator (Klingon filter on), Trump is saying that Cohen's book, that apparently paints Trump in a positive light, is full of lies, etc., etc., but his sworn testimony is accurate.

Even in the bizzarro Trump World, that makes sense.

Some one told him something or other about Cohen and a book proposal and he makes up some crap about a manuscript.

15. Using the words 'Trump' and 'read' is a big clue that he is making this up as always.

The man who has to have his Presidential briefings whittled down to bullet points with pictures is now reading a manuscript?
