Michael Cohen to testify in public on 2/7. Start stocking up on popcorn and alcohol no... Michael Cohen to testify publicly before Congress next month https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/na...-next-month/b3LfxAti2dGYaFnmdbEQXK/story.html Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal lawyer who implicated him in a scheme to pay hush money to two women claiming to have had affairs with him, has agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee next month and give “a full and credible account” of his work for Trump. Cohen’s decision to appear before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Feb. 7 sets the stage for a public hearing that threatens to further damage the president’s image and could clarify the depth of his legal woes. Cohen was privy to the machinations of Trump’s inner circle and key moments under scrutiny by both special counsel Robert Mueller and federal prosecutors in New York. He could soon share them on national television under oath. (More at above url)
What was the name of Nixon’s lawyer that blew the lid off of the whole thing when he testified in front of congress?
Sort of an interesting dynamic among the dems right now. A whole bunch of them are getting excited about new hearings, new mueller report, etc and are ramping up the impeachment talk bigtime. Meanwhile Pelosi continues to work overtime to tamp down that growing impeachment talk. She properly fears that nothing but nothing will rally trumps base like an impeachment process, plus he will probably get a win out of it. And as as important, she fears that creating that high drama will focus the entire country on that and whatever new and spiffy issues that the dems are trying to promote for 2020 will just not get any attention at all. I can't help her on that. Something to worry about. If you want Maxine Waters leading the charge on impeachment and being the face of the dem party, go for it.
They must have passed new ethics rules for lawyers in NY recently. Otherwise I have trouble understanding how a lawyer can secretly tape his client and then share it with the world. Whatever. Dems and the media, but then I repeat myself, have this misconception that Trump supporters imagined him to be some sort of white knight. We knew who he was.
I know , imagine here you're thinking lawyer/client privilege and suddenly you find that the very guy you trusted with all of your most secret of secrets is now spilling it out on the world stage. Wow , it's enough to tear anyone's life apart..
We also just learned of proof Manafort was sharing campaign info with Russian intelligence.Wonder if this whole wall shutdown thing is Trump trying to keep news off Cohen and Mueller
