The public information on the Carter Page FISA Application does not match the briefing Rosenstein received prior to signing the renewal. This is a highly significant revelation. Those documents were sworn to – under oath – and vetted by FBI Agents. Consider the ramifications if they were false… or… Perhaps its the leaks regarding what’s in the FISA Application that are false.

I often wonder who didn’t love Donald Trump. I often wonder who left an affection void that he has tried to fill by winning attention, which is not the same thing. He’s turned his life into a marketing strategy. As Michael Cohen said in his testimony on Wednesday, even the presidential campaign was a marketing campaign to build the Trump brand. In turning himself into a brand he’s turned himself into a human shell, so brittle and gilded that there is no place for people close to him to attach. His desperate attempts to be loved have made him unable...

Cohen’s Testimony against Trump Was Plainly Unethical Illegal Aliens Arrested in Workplace Raid Sue Over ‘Rights’ Canada’s Shameful Highway of Tears 702,000 Overstay Visa Nearly 20 Years after Terrorists Did It on 9/11 Cohen’s Testimony against Trump Was Plainly Unethical If you watched the Democrat’s little circus this week in front of the House Oversight Committee, you may have been alternately angered and amused. The Cohen hearing was an echo of the Kavanaugh hearings. It was a blatant misuse of that hallowed room in the Capitol. Here’s what I wrote for Fox News : Congress and the corrupt Washington...

Observing President Trump in masterful action at the Hanoi summit with NK against the backdrop of the Cohen ridiculousness in our swamp here at home reminds us that our greatest enemies are in fact, here at home. And to think of all the diplomatic, economic, judicial, and military progress going to waste is unbearable to consider. Trump MUST win in 2020.

WASHINGTON — Leading congressional Democrats were still largely steering clear of impeachment chatter a day after President Donald Trump’s former attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, alleged in public testimony that Trump had violated campaign finance laws and lied to the American public. “I’m not going into that, I’m not going into that,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, said at her weekly news conference Thursday, quickly dismissing talk of impeachment...(snip) ... the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. 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...

Shortened title. Full title: McCabe: ‘Overwhelming Likelihood’ Trump Won’t Finish His Term; Disputes IG’s Assertion He Lied to Investigators Friday on “CBS This Morning,” former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe questioned the conclusions drawn by last year’s inspector general report, which recommended McCabe be investigated criminally for lying to investigators about leaks pertaining to the finances of the Clinton Foundation. He dismissed that aspect of the IG report and implored Americans to look at his “unblemished record” prior to attacks from President Donald Trump. He also called into question Trump’s future.

The is a lot of competition for the title, but Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Jihad) is making a strong case for herself as the most disgusting member of Congress. During the public testimony by Michael Cohen, she dehumanized a black woman who was sitting behind Rep. Mark meadows, calling her a “prop” – an infamy that denies the possibility of human agency to a black woman who disagrees with her. You see, in this worldview, black people are so stupid that they can’t come to their own political conclusions, and must be pawns of white people if they disagree with...

Full title: EXCLUSIVE: 'Crazy, Dumb, Paranoid, Liar' - these things have been said about my boss...NONE of it is true!' Inside Michael Cohen's '$750,000' book deal and how he pitched the proposal praising Trump just weeks before the FBI raided his office o Michael Cohen has turned on Trump now, but just weeks before the FBI raided the office of the president's longtime personal attorney he pitched a book proposal o Cohen wanted to paint Trump in a positive light, starting off the proposal by saying the president is not 'crazy, dumb, paranoid, in over his head, or a liar'...

President Trump on Friday blasted Michael Cohen over a newly reported book proposal that apparently painted the president in a positive light, saying his former lawyer's pitch contradicts this week's congressional testimony and renders him “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 is now a lie!” Trump tweeted Friday.“Congress must demand the transcript of Michael Cohen’s new book, given to publishers a short...

The testimony Wednesday by former Trump attorney and convicted perjurer Michael Cohen before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform did not produce the smoking guns that Democrats were hoping for, but it did produce a prodigious amount of fake news.Several members of the committee noted beforehand and during the hearing the oddity of Cohen testifying before a congressional committee as he's headed to prison for lying to Congress: As Michael Cohen speaks, think about how remarkable it is: a man convicted of LYING to Congress is now appearing before Congress again... just weeks later. Invited by the Democrats...

LINK IT. SHARE IT. Brilliant opening statement from Rep. Jim Jordan regarding a Congressional hearing chaired by Elijah Cummings featuring convicted LIAR and fraudster Michael Cohen as star witness against Pres Trump. Watch the faces of Cohen and Cummings - they reek of guilt and deception.

The appearance of long-time Trump confidante Lynn Patton at the congressional testimony of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen created a considerable stir amid Washington DC. However, the context of her appearance takes on even more drama when considered against Patton’s Facebook post from January 18th of this year: Lynne Patton: […] 3) Many of you may already know that I considered Michael Cohen to be one of my very best friends. Countless people can confirm that we were virtually inseparable during my employment at Trump – and that he is, single-handedly – responsible for introducing me to the Trump family...

Do you believe the testimony of Michael Cohen regarding President Trump? Poll currently running just under 50/50 - we can fix that - the 'right' vote is 'NO' if you think Cohen is lying and Trump is telling the truth. Poll requires no registration, front page scroll down a bit on the left....thanks.

Two of President Trump’s strongest House allies on Thursday urged the Department of Justice to investigate Michael Cohen for perjury, accusing the president’s former attorney of intentionally lying to Congress during his Wednesday appearance before the House Oversight Committee. GOP Reps. Jim Jordan, Ohio, and Mark Meadows, North Carolina, sent the letter to Attorney General William P. Barr. “In sum, Mr. Cohen’s testimony….was a spectacular and brazen attempt to knowing and willfully testify falsely and fictitiously to numerous material facts,” they wrote. “His testimony included intentionally false statements designed to make himself look better before a national stage,” they wrote.

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. Forces you to get great at reading people + hones a razor-sharp BS detector,” she tweeted, responding to a compliment that questioned whether she really was a former bartender and not a former prosecutor. “Just goes to show that what some consider to be “unskilled labor” can actually be anything but.”

No one asked the question, then or now: Who was, and is, Michael Cohen really working for? A Trump-hating Congress needed to bring their visceral hatred to an all-time high crescendo. Hoaxer Jussie Smollett tried but got caught in the act by Chicago cops, so working with Hillary Clinton’s former lawyer Lanny Davis, Congress brought in Michael Cohen. Cohen’s hoax lasted for seven hours, during which Georgia Congressman Jody Hice said of his testimony: “It’s a shameful mockery”. You won’t see this video anywhere on the mainstream or social media today.

We won’t have to hear wall to wall coverage of day 3 of the Michael Cohen performance. Thanks to developments at the Hanoi Hilton the MSM can replace some of it with coverage about “Trumps’s Failure.” Because as of the dawn of the 21st century the left has never been at a table with a maniacal dictator that they felt the urge to walk away from. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani shakes hands with President Obama: payoff to follow Hugo gifts Obama with a copy of "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent" President Trump...

Asked by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., how he sees himself, President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen responded Wednesday that he sees himself as “a fool.” At least we know he told the truth in answering that question. In a pointless hearing in which Cohen testified before the House Oversight and Reform Committee making multiple unproven accusations against President Trump, the public got to see what Special Counsel Robert Mueller apparently saw: no evidence of Trump campaign collusion with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. What we all saw instead was a fool.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) accused Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) of a “racist act” in presenting Housing and Urban Development official Lynne Patton, a black woman, as a refutation of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s claim that President Trump is “racist.” “Just to make a note, Mr. Chairman, just because someone has a person of color, a black people working for them, does not mean they aren’t racist,” Tlaib said in her closing remarks after question Cohen. “And it is even insensitive, some would even say the fact that someone would even use a prop, a black woman in this chamber,...
