President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen said Wednesday that he and his legal team spoke with top Democratic Reps. Elijah Cummings and Adam Schiff before his testimony in front of the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

In a testy exchange between Cohen and Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., the president’s former lawyer said that his legal team has spoken to members of the Democratic Party ahead of Wednesday’s hearing on Capitol Hill.

"We've spoken to the party," Cohen said, adding that he has also spoken with Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, "and his people"...(snip)

Republicans already had complained about Cohen's interactions with the panel, including that he didn't turn over testimony and evidence until hours before the hearing's start..

“We’ve spoken to the Democrat party and were handed a script to read. This was done because they now know that Mueller hasn’t found anything and they hope to be able to continue their hunt, because of what they told me to say at this hearing.”

Fixed it.

What is as troublesome as this, is the fact that the Democrats released Cohen’s opening statement last night to the Democrats and the press, and didn’t release them to the Republicans until minutes before the hearings started.

This gave the Democrats and the media to the opportunity to hit the ground running with a game plan, while the Republicans were still trying to take it all in after the first pitch (so to speak).

The Democrats have demonstrated themselves to be anarchists when it comes to the laws of our nation.

Hearings are not to start without opening statements provided to both sides something like 24 hours before the hearings begin. I don’t know the exact timing of it, but today’s proceedings were clearly in violation of the rules.

The U. S. Constitution and other federal laws, Sanctuary Cities Counties States and Institutions, as well as the Congressional rules themselves, are not followed at all.

Cohen himself is the very first person convicted of lying to Congress and headed to prison for it, to be brought back to testify further.

He’s a known perjurer. The Democrats decided to call him back anyway to trash Trump while he was overseas trying to reduce a nuclear threat to our nation.

The Democrats are a clear and present danger to our nation.

I think it expresses it well, referencing the Democrats as this nation’s Taliban.

Well said, DoughtyOne. A very serious violation of We the People’s trust in our government.

The shenanigans and lawlessness of the Dems since they gained power two months ago may be unprecedented in our history.

I believe the violations are the most serious.

We are watching our government crumbling before our very eyes.

The courts have deemed themselves to be a part of the Legislature now.

States are openly rebelling against federal statutes.

We’re slipping into a state of rebellion.
