Cohen: 'I’m going to let the American people decide exactly who’s telling the truth'
The Hill ^ | 02/26/19 | Jacqueline Thomsen

Posted on 02/26/2019 4:11:50 PM PST by yesthatjallen

President Trump's former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen on Tuesday said that he will let "the American people decide exactly who’s telling the truth" ahead of his widely anticipated public hearing before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

"I really appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to clear the record and to tell the truth," Cohen told reporters after his hours-long private testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

"And I look forward to tomorrow, to being able to use my voice to tell the American people my story," he continued. "And I’m going to let the American people decide exactly who’s telling the truth."

Cohen is expected to drop several bombshells about his work for the president and the Trump Organization during the public hearing on Wednesday.

Tuesday marked the president's former lawyer's first appearance before congressional investigators since he pleaded guilty last year to making false statements to Congress.

...

Yes, he’s going to prison for lying to Congress. That should make it an easy decision for the American people.

"I can't picture this guy entering a jail cell willingly. If he makes it that far."

He's probably already asked for protective custody. A pu$$y like him won't be able to cope in G.P. (general population).

Each Republican should start with those opening questions.

'Is it true you lied to Congress?'

'Is it true you've been disbarred.'

Then go from there.

"So Mueller is fine with you telling congress about Trump crimes that you didn’t tell him?"

I doubt he'll be spilling too many new beans:

February 7, 2019: "A federal judge in New York acknowledged in a court filing Thursday that "aspects" of a federal investigation into Michael Cohen "remain ongoing" nearly two months after the President's former fixer was sentenced to three years in prison.

The revelation came as part of a ruling issued by Judge William Pauley partially granting a request from various media organizations, including CNN, to unseal documents pertaining to the April 9, 2018, raid of Cohen's home, office and hotel room."

This guy was only Trump's personal fixer, he never worked in the White House and regardless once again what happened to Lawyer-Client privilege? Cohen has proven to be a congenital Liar and will say anything to get a better deal. This so called proof I bet does not exist and don't forget his lawyer is Butt-Boy Lanny Davis, Hillary's law school chum and best friend so we know what to expect here. I can only hope he will totally exposed as the scum bag he is on national TV.

Michael Cohen lied to and cheated on his wife. The woman he vowed before Almighty God to be true and faithful to.

If Michael Cohen would lie to and cheat on his wife, is there anyone he wouldn't lie to?

No.

You’re going to PRISON, FOR LYING TO CONGRESS UNDER OATH!
Who in their right mind would believe anything you have to say when you testify to Congress again?

He ‘told’ me all I need to know about him when he hired the Clinton operative -Lanny Davis - as his lawyer.

All I can see him doing now is cementing ANY chance he may have had of PDJT pardoning him.

However, PDJT is the ‘type’ that maybe would have pardoned him just because he could...

People keep pointing out he’s a known liar, even Sarah Sanders. No one pointing out Yeah but he was lying FOR Trump.

I just think it’s kind of funny

I think the Senate needs 20 GOP Traitors to join the 47 RAT Traitors to overturn a Trump Veto which requires a 2/3 (67) Majority Vote.

I think the House is also shy about 30 Votes to overturn a Veto.

Just so I understand what’s going on here.

The POTUS is overseas attempting to finally end The Korean War and bring stability to the entire Asian Continent while the Democrat Congress is investing its time in a three ring Circus in an attempt to undermine the POTUS while he is overseas.

Got it.
