Cohen and another guy (lawyer probably) with him rolled a couple of suitcases into the hearing this morning. I assume they were full of documents!
Cohen ain't going down alone.

(82,849 posts)Oh, there's documentary evidence that what one of them said is true? Well, that's a horse of a different color. It's going to take a shitload of "both sides" to keep this balanced so that Trump doesn't tweet something mean at us for reporting the facts.

"There can be virtually no doubt, by the admission of Mr. Trump's own attorney, Rudy Giuliani, on TV, as well as substantial other evidence in documents and other witnesses, that Donald Trump, while president of the United States, committed multiple felonies each time he signed illegal checks for hush money 'reimbursements' (Giuliani's word on TV) to Michael Cohen from the Mr. Trump's own personal account while he was president," Davis said.
"The New York State Attorney General and Manhattan District Attorney, based alone on these Trump personal hush money reimbursement checks to Cohen while he was president, probably have jurisdiction to launch an investigation of Mr. Trump," Davis said.
"Indeed, arguably, the Manhattan DA could seek a criminal indictment of President Trump while he is still president, since the DA is not literally subject to the Department of Justice memo, which has never been tested by the courts, that a sitting president cannot be indicted."

I'm waiting for someone to seek a criminal indictment.
Congress will take far too long.

(11,257 posts)He's worthless as a witness because he has ZERO credibility. But if he can corroborate what he says with actual evidence, then he's an absolute game changer.
