This "teaser" mumbling over Cohen's upcoming testimony is freakin' stupid.

First, the details won't be released publicly, since that would mess with Mueller's investigation.

Second, the line I'm seeing all over the Internet today is that he will "tell what it was like to work for a madman!"

OK, show of hands...anyone here not know he's a madman?

Anyone gonna be shocked to learn that he has said bad things about and done bad things to his wives, to contractors, to people of color, to women in general, and oh...what was that last one...oh, YEAH...the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

Frigging MEDIA CIRCUS. Cohen's going to testify that Trump is a dick who's broken the law on so many occasions that you'll run out of fingers and toes COUNTING them.

SHOCKING!

Not.

I am ALL FOR anything Cohen gives investigators that can be used to remove Trump. I am not for the tabloid sideshow way in which the media is salivating over it. This is SERIOUS BUSINESS. It's not about some TV reality show that will "reveal" that Trump is an asshole. I've watched that show for the last two seasons, as well as his life before coming down that frigging escalator.

Mitch McConnell needs to grow a spine, rally the troops, and work with the House to send Trump to jail, or back to Mar-a-Lago (because I don't think New York wants him back in Trump Tower).

1. as if there's not any news today

What are they ignoring while drumming up puppetrump titillation?

They could be reporting on the ripples of suffering and hardship caused by this senseless shutdown. They could be reporting on protests. They could be reporting on damages to National Parks. They could be reporting on homelessness, medical event bankruptcies, etc.

2. Exactly.

I don't think Cohen is going to be the "smoking gun," but if he IS, it won't be because he testified that Trump is a "madman." Those details are already in the public domain.

4. The details of his testimony will be released publicly, because it's a public hearing.

And there is plenty he could enlighten us about outside of the bounds of the Mueller and Federal investigations in NY.

Just because most of us here on DU won't be surprised, doesn't mean his appearance on national TV, speaking to an audience who's read maybe 5% of what we have, couldn't make an impact.
