Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will quiz Michael Cohen about Trump at his blockbuster testimony before Congress next month after winning a coveted spot on the prestigious House Oversight Committee

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, has joined the House Oversight Committee

The Committee has the power to launch investigations into Donald Trump and his administration, which its incoming members have pledged to do

She will question Michael Cohen when he testifies before Congress on Feb. 7

Liberal Congress freshmen Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Ro Khanna of California will also join the Committee

The House Oversight Committee is currently led by Democrat Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland

'I am excited — there were a lot of people that wanted to come on our committee,' he said on the incoming class

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has won a spot on the prestigious House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which has the power to investigate President Donald Trump.

And she'll start off by questioning Michael Cohen at his highly anticipated testimony before Congress scheduled for February 7.

She will also play a major role in questioning any Trump administration officials that are investigated by the powerful panel.

The 29-year-old Democratic-Socialist of New York joined the committee on Tuesday and is joined by fellow liberal Congress freshmen Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ro Khanna of California.

I am betting Cohen will reconsider his appearance and cancel it.

Dang. Cummings is going to be their powerful pimp. That is bad news for decent folks. Oh well. It’s Nasty Nan’s “Sparkling” Congress. What do you expect. Fixed, banana republic elections do have consequences.

If I could figure out how to, I would care less! A moron questioning a pathological liar holds no interest to this American!

Too bad Russell Baker or Bill Safire can't cover this hearing.
Both writers knew absurdity when they saw it.

Oh great, a known liar, and one that has delusions of grandeur. Oh please LORD, take us home.

We are seeing with our very eyes how govt. run education has done a great job at brainwashing the children.

Great (but sad)observation. The proof is in the pudding, as they say.

Metmom, thought this comment would be of interest to you.

Please. She will be hand fed questions by democrat legal team. She is Charismatic and pure gold in front of a camera. She will be questioning the biggest RAT LAWYER LIER in history and he will sing and compose for her. They will be the Marvin Gay - Tammy Tyrell or Captain and Tenelle duo of the week. They will be breathlessly covered by all media outlets and be seen in at least 40 million homes spouting lies, innuendo, dirt, and degradation about our President. She will be the fairy princess kissing the frog and turning him into the handsome prince. This is nothing to trivialize

With AOC, the muslim women “from” Michigan/Minnesota and the Indian from CA we’re also seeing what 3rd world colonization of the US will look like in the future. They are reaching critical mass and have started kicking old guard Dems to the curb. We are next.

OK, so their dim bulb but photogenic little rising red star is getting a soapbox despite being quite the loose cannon, attacking her elder Democrats?

They’re going to try to script her. Work very hard to throw her off-script. Should be amusing. Might even merit another smack-down from the Special Counsel, lol.

Cohen ought to respond to Talib's question by asking, "What's it like being married to a sibling to get him into the U.S.?" She'll say, "I'm not Rep. Omar, you racist."

Then Talib's public testimony can be used in the fraud case against Omar. :)

I am betting the dirtbag, rat scumbag lier will gleefully attend to further advance his narrative that the diabolical Trump forced him to break the law numerous times in the commission of felonies designed to hide the FACT that Trump is a RUSSIAN AGENT!

Cohen is owned by the deep state, including his most recent physical beatdown and possible rape, designed to insure he understands there is no escape.

This could be interesting. I’ve noticed AOC has a problem keeping on topic with her statements. Regardless of whatever she starts out with, she eventually veers off to dissing Trump, promoting global warming or her socialistic agenda.

I can see her doing this. Starting out with a halfway intelligent pre-prepared question, then wondering off to her own agenda which has nothing to do with the question.

She will likely make Hank Johnson look like a rocket scientist.

Yep. And the audience of 40 million will come out believing that men can swallow swords, you can saw people in half, elephants fly, and Trump is a Russian agent.

You’re right. The proof is in the pudding.

I’m just so thankful I was able to homeschool my kids in the 90’s and am proud of what they have accomplished on their own.

All have paid off student loans, are working and have pretty good jobs.

Thanking God!!
