Ro Khana on CNN: Cohen provided the documents showing edits to false testimony.

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.

After his testifying , and knows a lot more will be exposed soon too. I predict we'll learn eventually evidence has been destroyed by many in the White House, instead of turning anything over to them. The cover up is always worse.

Cases against Trump would be strengthened if more whistleblowers/truthtellers come clean for fear of emerging evidence.

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.

...Lanny Davis in a statement Wednesday called for the New York attorney general and the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to launch a criminal investigation into the hush money payments.

"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.

will not get him impeached or jailed. The NY AG is going for the gold - money laundering and tax evasion.

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.
