Cohen will tell Congress of alleged Trump criminal conduct, source says

During his much-anticipated public testimony before Congress on Wednesday, President Donald Trump's former longtime attorney Michael Cohen will provide evidence of his old boss's alleged criminal conduct since becoming president, a knowledgeable source about what to expect told NBC News.

And, according to the source, there is much more that congressional investigators and viewers can expect Cohen to provide.

Cohen will detail his allegations of the president's lies, racism and cheating as a private businessman while Cohen spent a decade working for him, the source said.

Cohen will also give lawmakers information about Trump's financial statements and might actually provide the statements, the source said. This information would require the president's long-held secret tax returns in order to verify, providing an avenue for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to request those returns. The source noted the allegation that Trump deflated the value of his properties in some cases to reduce his property taxes.

Cohen's three-day appearance begins Tuesday with closed-door testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Only the Wednesday hearing before the House Oversight Committee is scheduled to be made public. Cohen will also testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday.

Exactly. If Cohen had evidence of anything approaching illegal behavior on the part of Trump Mueller wouldn’t let Cohen testify in any place but a grand jury. This is Mueller hoping he can paint Trump with enough mud that congress will impeach him, because Mueller hasn’t got anything.

Im more inclined to believe that Jussie Smollett had bleach thrown on him and a rope put around his neck at 2AM during a polar vortex while his attackers yelled “THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY” Cohen can claim he was the original Mr Peanut and I would not believe him..he LIED to congress, once a liar always a liar

Even money bet the unnamed source is in all likelihood Lanny Davis, the smuck’s attorney.

Pull up a rock and this guy slithers out. Most smug and self-serving person I ever had the displeasure to meet.

It would be hilarious if, in questioning, someone asked him, “And when, exactly, did you notice he had put the fake noose around your neck?

Same MSNBC and CNN fools who believed Jussie Smollett Michael Avenatti will believe Michael Cohen.

And for the same self-serving reasons...

If I’m not mistaken, Cohen was never in the White House unless he was a visitor. How on earth would he know of crimes committed by Trump as President?

This is the same guy that was trying to sell access to Trump for big bucks.

Providing a fabricated reason for the Dems to pass impeachment. That’s what it’s all about.

If he had bona fide evidence of any criminality by Trump, 9/10 of the DC swamp would line up on the Capital Mall to give him BJs.

He wouldn't be going to jail.

Correct. This isn’t about Cohen, and what he may have to say. He said what he said to Mueller, and if there was any real dirt in that, we’d have already heard about it wall-to-wall, 24/7.

No, this is about casting international doubts on Trump’s longevity as President for what is now historically going to occur in Hanoi.

The globalist, DeepState are relentless traitors.

I wonder if Pres. Trump will have his attorney in the closed door, to protect the President's client\attorney privilege with Cohen ?

"I remember Donald Trump laughing maniacally as Jared dragged his next victim to the altar and tied him down spread eagled with the shackles on all four sides. And then the President would raise the knife and drive it in, drawing it so he could cut out the heart of his victim and hold it up to the god of gold. And then the corpse of the Girl Scout would be unshackled and thrown on the pile along with the other victims: Cub Scouts, members of the local elementary school gay-straight alliance and minority children grabbed of the street."

(Does that work to get my sentence reduced?)

Then Donald Trump threw his empty water bottle in the wastebasket, NOT the recycling bin!

Then Donald Trump used a plastic straw!

Then Donald Trump said Nancy Pelosi was senile!

Then Donald Trump said Michelle Obama was more masculine than Barry!

Apparently this sources doesn’t know how property valuation is done for property tax purposes.
