Cohen is a documented liar who was actually legally punished for lying.

So we have to believe this single person’s statements because?

No. Just no. If they want to base Impeachment on a single proven liar’s statement they will fail badly. There’s a ton of evidence to prove that the democrats want to use impeachment as a political tool.

Well, what goes around comes around...

Problem is, impeachment IS a political tool, not a legal one.

I suppose the opposition democRATS could bring articles of impeachment against Trump for spitting on the sidewalk.

Doesn't sound like high crimes and misdemeanors?

Well, the founders original intent of "high crimes" was referring to wrong doing by officials in "high" places or office, not that they necessarily committed major crimes or misdemeanors.

But it's wrongly misinterpreted today as meaning the latter.

So look for the democRATS to attempt to impeach Trump on anything they can make sound good.

Remember, Republicans impeached BJ Clinton for lying about getting a Lewinsky in the Oval Office.

But just as in Clinton's case, this won't go anywhere though. They still need 67 votes in the Senate to convict. They don't have anywhere near that total.

The threats of impeachment by Holder, other democRATS (Tom Steyer) and the media (Atlantic magazine) are flights of fantasy political theater not based in reality.

Their goal is to get rid of Trump via impeachment. Ain't goin' to happen.

Exactly.

As asked of Richard Clark during the 911 whitewash: "Are you lying now or did you lie then?"
