[W:849]Michael Cohen Testifies

Deflect what? That Trump didn't want his grades released? That's been SOP for all presidents of late.

That the University confirmed that Cohen, working for Trump (and obviously under Trump's orders), threatened them. It is confirmation regarding the veracity of what Cohen is saying.

You must understand this.
 
AOC proved why she got elected. No way Trump did what he did in the Bronx without help from a lot of paid off politicians.

Track them all down, hold them to task, ask why the boroughs paid out the ass and got peanuts back.

Doesn't matter who they are. Republican or Democrat. Hold their feet to the fire.

Yep. She did what she was supposed to do; she took care of business in her own back yard! :thumbs:

Let's see the letter.
 
Perhaps because the Democrats don't have the exact wording of the standard form memorized. I'm just providing evidence brought up in the hearing by Rep. Hill about what the form requested, which was about foreign governments. You didn't believe me, I posted a copy of the form and an opinion by a former director of OGE. I'm not sure how else to help.



Then all the more reason for him NOT to lie on the standard disclosure, then freely admit in his testimony about those contracts with foreign COMPANIES.

In fact there are multiple ongoing criminal investigation on Cohen.



Cohen said he had a witness in the room while talking with Trump about why he didn't want to have an official White House position. Maybe one of the Republicans could have spent their five minutes asking questions instead of engaging in ad hominem attacks.



The "foreign entity" was Novartis, a publicly traded company. Try not making things up and repeating talking points fed to you by the GOP. And he admitted to all that in his testimony, more than once....



I missed that part of the testimony.

First off my reference to a foreign entity was a bank. But I can see why you would be confused because there were many foreign entities.

From Open Secrets

"Legal consulting is also generally exempt from FARA, but any quasi-political services performed by a lobbyist or lawyer on top of legal consulting would generally still need to be reported. In some circumstances, foreign agents have attempted to skirt reporting requirements by claiming that public relations or lobbying services were provided pro bono on top of legal consulting. However, FARA requires registration for activities that fall under its purview even if no money is exchanged.
Meadows’ tough questions came following a Feb. 21 letter from committee ranking member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis requesting documents and communications related to “Cohen’s lobbying and/or consulting agreements.”
The letter notes Cohen inked consulting deals with a number of companies, including AT&T, Korea Aerospace Industries and Columbus Nova, a Russian oligarch-linked company, while working for Trump.
Cohen’s other ties to foreign interests seeking to curry influence in the Trump administration have also come under fire with claims ranging from hundreds of thousands in reported payments to push a deal allowing a Qatari official to invest in a U.S. nuclear facility and a six-figure real-estate brokerage fee for representing a Qatar royal family member’s company to his attorneys’ recent work as foreign agents. In 2017, Cohen’s attorney Stephen Ryan registered as a foreign agent for the Qatari government and its ambassador, who was at the 2016 Trump Tower meeting the same month Cohen allegedly asked Qatar for a $1 million payment in exchange for “insights” into the Trump administration. The firm co-founded by Cohen’s other attorney, Lanny Davis, registered as a foreign agent for Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash — a close ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin also tied to Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort — the prior year."

House Republicans accuse Cohen of failing to register as foreign agent in fiery hearing
 
Cummings needs to turn off the show. He is doing nothing with his scolding of Cohen. This circus side show is why the Congress has about a 7% approval rate. What to know why we are messed up in USA because Congress can't do anything to make us better for the petty bickering and lying.

The veracity would be that Trump didn't want his grades released. That he ordered Cohen to threaten Fordham is the claim of a convicted perjurer.
 
That was a great speech.
 
I'm sure these felonies won't matter to trumpettes one bit.

Napolitano Says Cohen Paints a ‘Grave Picture’ For Trump: There Are ‘Four Potential Felonies’

Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano says Michael Cohen‘s congressional testimony should be of concern for President Donald Trump.

Napolitano joined Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Wednesday to respond to Cohen’s House Oversight Committee hearing. Despite Cohen’s conviction for lying, Napolitano noted “the government doesn’t always get the to pick its witnesses,” and said Cohen was in Trump’s inner circle for 10 years.​

*Sigh*

He wasn't scolding Cohen.
 
Cummings, patronizing, and pretending to care for a convicted felon he used as a tool, in his closing statement... lol

Such high drama!
All that's missing are the fake tears. :roll:

"We have to get back to normal" What he really meant is 'we have to take back power.'

:giggle1:
 
Cummings hitting all of us with the 'we better than that' and that combo 'c'mon now' is amazing.

Democrats have taken back control of the House. It's why we are here.

Keep up.

No collusion and north Korea were the victims today, we have more important things happening than Micheal Cohen's most likely false testimony. The left cannot prove collusion so they go after anything else they can to muddy the waters.
 
I think it's time that we start to heal as a nation. I hope Cohen gets out of jail before before the 2020 election so he can run. I hope my fellow leftist brothers band together to take down that orange SOB!

Lets Make America Great Again!

No, you keep up.
The senate and the WH belong to the Republicans.

Keep crying over it, or crying over something I post....lol
 
May have been Meadows - I was listening not watching. And I posted the standard form previously, so, yeah, it looks that way. No shocker.

And the thing is if he misstated that on the form after having the attorneys review it, which I'm sure they did, it's kind of a nothing given he freely admitted to the contracts with foreign companies in his on the record, under oath testimony, so it's hard to see why anyone gives a damn.

The only mission of Republicans today was to discredit anything and everything Cohen.

They tried as hard as they could to distance him from trump, just as trump has tried to distance himself for everyone of his people that be has thrown under the.bus up to this point.

I found Cohen's testimony to be truthful and credible.
 
You know, what we should really be noting here about today:

No Republican on the committee really spoke about the matters of Trump purposefully inflating assets for personal gain or deflating assets for tax advantage, that Trump and his family engaged in hush payments in all sorts of questionable ways, that Trump repeatedly used position and power for personal gain, what was being spent... and from where... to get Trump elected, how frequently his business dealings were questionable including his now dead nonprofit, and ultimately how far those in the Trump Organization have to go to protect this lunatic.

Every single Republican up there questioned Cohen's credibility, yet have zero to say about the 8700 'ish (or more) lies and distortions Trump has said since being in office. Every single Republicans tried to pin actions on Cohen as if Trump was somewhere off in the sun with no knowledge of how much he would gain from all these shenanigans.

Cohen offered credible information to supplement his testimony all entered in as evidence, and all Republicans can come up with is news articles to enter in as evidence.

And I am still taken back by how clever it was for Cohen to compare Republicans today to what he did for over 10 years, lie for Trump. And his family, all in on it.

There could be possible crimes here, it looks like several Republicans were in on it, and how anyone can support Trump is insane.
 
I'm sure these felonies won't matter to trumpettes one bit.

Napolitano is another one of the few dignified conservatives left.
 
point of interest, Jullian Assange, is not a Russian correct?

Michael Cohen has no reason to lie now. As a matter-of-fact, if caught lying, he could suffer a severely increased sentence. Look no further than the D***head POTUS if you want to hear lies.

Again, you tried to interpret Cummings words to be about taking back power. He has already done that in the only area of government he can.

It is why we are here. I get it. Rabid Republicans has no new pics yet.

Give it time.
