Michael Cohen, a convicted liar and former personal lawyer for POTUS Donald Trump, is set to appear in open testimony before Congress on Wednesday after a closed-door session yesterday in which no explosive bombshells were leaked — meaning there weren’t any.
But even before Cohen speaks one syllable of his prepared testimony in which he will claim the president is “a racist,” a liar, a cheat, and generally an awful person, critics are pointing out what should be obvious to any fair-minded person: Cohen’s testimony is nothing more than a political stunt staged by majority Democrats.
How do we know this? Because if Cohen, who reports to prison in less than two months, really had so much damaging evidence against the president, special counsel Robert Mueller would have it as well — and he wouldn’t be letting Cohen spill the beans in public.
In any event Cohen, who’s just been disbarred by the State of New York, by the way, can’t be believed because there is nothing credible about him or any ‘new evidence’ he’s just stumbled across that he’s going to offer.
As many have pointed out.

Despite Cohen’s clearly questionable honesty, Congress will entertain his “recently discovered evidence.â€
Axios writes, “Cohen is set to accuse Trump of criminal misconduct linked to reimbursements Cohen received in 2017 for hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels regarding her alleged affair with Trump toward the end of the 2016 campaign, as first reported by the Wall Street Journal. The source said Cohen will describe ‘in granular detail’ the scheme to pay off Daniels, which Cohen is set to say was orchestrated by Trump.â€
Cohen’s attempted smear is clearly a final attempt to place the blame on Trump as the lawyer’s career implodes.
As GOP Chairwoman Rona McDaniel notes, “Michael Cohen’s hearing is the last ditch effort to save face & cast blame on everyone but himself for his crimes.â€
Michael Cohen's hearing is a last ditch effort to save face & cast blame on everyone but himself for his crimes.
It’s sad Democrats are wasting time with this liar in an effort to distract from the historic progress @realDonaldTrump is making overseas.https://t.co/26vQEefwYf

Judicial Watch chief Tom Fitton has even suggested that Cohen’s testimony might be illegal.
As @RealDonaldTrump's former lawyer, Mr. Cohen can't ethically testify to Congress about his interactions with Mr. Trump. Mr. Cohen knows this, Congress knows this, and Mueller special counsel knows this. These hearings are more lawless abuse targeting President Trump. Shameful.

For years, Michael Cohen praised @realDonaldTrump’s honesty and integrity.
It was only after Cohen was caught for tax evasion and other personal financial misdeeds, he began lying about President Trump in an effort to save face. pic.twitter.com/AQnxxk7yBF

Can’t make it up: tomorrow Oversight Committee Democrats plan to bring in their first star witness of this Congress, Michael Cohen.
Michael Cohen is going to prison in 2 months, for crimes including… lying to Congress.

NEW: Michael Cohen to claim he "stumbled across" evidence against Trump in the last 48 hours about Stormy Daniels payments https://t.co/0W1r2dHuQ3

Michael Cohen's "testimony" is a Lanny Davis/Adam Schiff production.
Does anyone think that if Cohen had anything material that #Mueller would let him spill it all to Congress?
It simply doesn't work like that.

If Cohen presents any information during these hearings that he did not present to Mueller under oath, he is guilty of perjury. That means Cohen will present nothing ILLEGAL here, just a bunch of hearsay and opinion garbage.
In other words, useless.

Michael Cohen, who is going to prison for lying to Congress, will testify in Congress this week.

If you have chosen to skip this clown show, you’re not going to be alone. Meanwhile, POTUS Trump is busy doing what no president before him has managed to do: He’s making the Korean peninsula safe again.

It will be fun to watch the Bolshevik media appoint ratface Cohen as the new Czar of Truth. Maybe they will provide stenographers with stone tablets to preserve every word.
CCC – Cohen as the new Czar of Truth.
From the list of characters in the Bolshevik media and Dimies, Cohen is the Czar.
“In the Kingdom of the Blind, the One-eyed Man is King.”
Tom Fitton – As @RealDonaldTrump’s former lawyer, Mr. Cohen can’t ethically testify.
Lawyers can’t ethically record their client’s conversations either, so the key word is Ethical.
And that is something Cohen is NOT.
“Lawyers can’t ethically record their client’s conversations either,…”
Of course they can record them, providing the client agrees that they can be recorded. It is surreptitious recordings that are, not only unethical, but in most cases considered tainted evidence.
The Dems have run out of options. The Mueller investigation is over with no proof of wrongdoing. All the Dems attempts to discredit Trump have failed for the past two years. They are desperate now and are reaching down deep inside their bag of tricks for something … anything. For now, it’s Cohen. Cohen will of course lie and smear Trump to the Nth degree. He’s angry. He has nothing else to lose now. He’s going to jail. He’s been disbarred. His family life has been irrevocably altered too. His name is mud. The Dems, of course, want him to… Read more »
Cohen is there to admit the lies he’s been caught at, and perpetuate the ones he hasn’t been caught at.

If he is already tried and convicted why is he still out on the streets?
Cohen is brought to this Charade today, by Corrupt Dems, who have tried to OUST then Campaigner, Trump and NOW, POTUS Trump. They are doing this Corrupt Kabuki Show, to the American public, but WE are not being fooled by this “Liar who is testifying” who ONLY looked to Enhance HIS Personal Coffers, as NO representing attorney, would tape his clients WITHOUT their permission.” The Dems have tried to ‘throw boulders in POTUS Trump’s path, that started when he did announce his run, and Obama who wanted Hillary in the Whitehouse, USED ALL HIS INTEL AGENCIES/DIRECTORS/AGENTS TO SPY ON TRUMP,… Read more »
The democrats are sooooooo sorry for the pain Michael Cohen’s family is going through. But not one Dem expressed any sympathy for Brett Kavanaugh’s family at the last media circus.
