Don't feel bad for the dude, he knew this was going to happen and came anyways. The people in congress that are just piling on are just doing it to generate b-roll for tonight's news. Attacking witnesses might seem like a good plan, but can backfire. Even when Cohen. | ||

And when they eventually manage to form a question it's pretty much always an embarrassingly leading one either way. Every single member of that committee has conflict of interest in this story. I don't see the point of this dog and pony show, the matter should be strictly up to the judicial branch. | ||

'When Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and nobody would care, he wasn't joking' a bit later ' Have you ever seen mr Trump personally threaten people with physical harm' Cohen: ' No, he would use others' ' He would hire other people to do that?' Cohen ' I'm not so sure he would have to hire them they are already working there. Everybody's job at the Trump organisation is to protect mr Trump. Everyday most of knew we were coming in and knew we were gonna lie for him on something, and that became the norm. | ||

GOP member: Mr. Cohen you are a liar. Cohen: You are right, I am. But look at all these documents I brought. | ||

Pakistan has claimed to have shot down 2 Indian planes (India says 1) a day after India had Air strikes in Pakistan. This is especially scary since both nations have nukes. https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/27/india/india-pakistan-strikes-escalation-intl/index.html I read about that elsewhere about 5 hours ago but it's not related to US politics, and what's happening in USA right now is more interesting till Nuclear launch detected. | ||
