'Do you want to change your bulls-- story, sir?' Calif. Dem preps for Cohen
Seven hours of Michael Cohen testimony before the House Oversight Committee wasn’t enough for Rep. Eric Swalwell. The Dublin Democrat was looking forward to hearing Cohen testify Thursday, in private, before the House Intelligence Committee.
There, Swalwell told the “It’s All Political” podcast, his first order of business would be to ask the question that the federal marshal played by Tommy Lee Jones famously asked in the 1993 movie “The Fugitive”: “Do you want to change your bulls— story, sir?”
“I’m very grateful that he’s coming clean, but we’ve got a big bulls— story that we were told and he needs to clean it up,” Swalwell said.
Nevertheless, Swalwell sees value in hearing from Cohen, even though President Trump’s former personal attorney is about to serve a three-year prison term after pleading guilty to nine felonies, including campaign finance violations and tax evasion.
Or, as Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, described Cohen on Wednesday: “A fraudster, cheat, felon and, in two months, a federal inmate.”
