Jordan, Meadows refer Cohen to DOJ for perjury investigation
The Washington Times ^ | February 28, 2019 | Jeff Mordock

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.

Cohen was facing 70+ years (life) in prison. Do you think a reduced sentence to 3 years, and offers of multi-million dollar book and movie contracts, might have incentivized him to lie once again?

Maybe investigating the investigators is in order.

You are making my point. His passion was interesting but completely absent for important issues previously in front of this committee.

I get your point, you are correct.

I wonder if Cohen recorded any conversations that he had with Lanny.

Jordan and Meadows should have cancelled Cohen’s closed-door testimony to happen today.

There have to be dozens of times the Congressional Dems have pandered to minorities in hearings, in fact, they use their black colleagues for photo ops all the time. A Republican brings a black woman, who supports Trump to a hearing due to an accusation that DJT is a racist and the woman is considered a “PROP”.

He kind of reminded me of an effeminate Dr. Christine Blasey Ford

Since you mentioned his wife, what’s the real reason he didn’t want her to know about a payoff to Sormy Daniels?

Telling his wife, for collaboration, would be almost as good as recording Trump, which we know he did, asking him to make the payment.

So. Was there some other reason he didn’t want her to know, maybe because of a little hanky panky on his own part?

That makes more sense, IMO.

He’s a corporate lawyer. That’s how he operated to cheat for monetary gains.

But the demonrats told him they would get him a reduced sentence if he lied for them.

“Lanny Davis sacrificed this guy for the dems. A fool for a client, indeed.”

Cohen is being punished by the Democrats for not getting into the White House as a Trump confidant. He probably promised the Democrats he would which led to the dossier and everything else. Now that he failed that, he is being punished. And the Republicans referring him to the DOJ is Trump’s payback.

“Lanny Davis sacrificed this guy for the dems. A fool for a client, indeed.”

Davis is representing Cohen pro bono.

ie. Davis is NOT representing Cohen, he is representing whatever Democrat interests are paying him.
