You may be right... I am not a lawyer nor have I ever been on trial for anything.
I have however been on 2 juries (both acquittals) and I can tell you unequivocally that after the Prosecution's phase I was pretty darn sure they were both guilty. Common sense people have a very good knack for distinguishing b.s. from truthfulness. And the truth is... it is not what you think, It's not what you know... it's what you can prove in court.
You choose to believe everything Cohen has to say, that is your right. I think he is full of shit and is trying to look as helpful to Mueller against Trump to gather leniency for his sentencing.
Been wrong before and I'll be wrong again... I'm ok with not meeting your expectations. The passive aggressiveness on this board is out of control... it has become who shouts the loudest and who calls the other guy the worst names. I try very hard not to get into those types of situations, sometimes I fail.
You do you, and I'll do me.
I heard Cohen did denied the Prague trip during his testimony. That should have opened the door. Again, if that's true, the Dems should have asked about the cell tower records. But, I suspect the Dems didn't want to destroy Cohen's credibilty and the Rs, of course, are not going there.
Protip: "Making people look bad" won't reduce your sentence in the eyes of a judge.
Telling the truth will.
That's what I've been trying to tell him. He can't quite wrap his head around the concept.
Shorter: "I have no legal background. I have a 'knack'...."
As if the prosecutor's recommendation doesn't matter at all...
The judge may not be bound to that recommendation... but only the naive would believe it doesn't matter.
There were threats made. Now retracted.
But the horse is out of the barn, and Gaetz may need to meet w/ the FL bar to explain his actions and save his law license.
Yes, they were cool with him lying when it helped the president. Not so much now.
Pssst---It's mind-boggling.
Uhhmmm...he is under oath. What do you think will happen to him if he perjures himself further? Michael Cohen is a lawyer. Rest assured, this is the most truthful Cohen has probably ever been in his life. I get Republicans liked him better when he lied for Trump, but that has nothing to do with his veracity right now.
Like I've said in another post, liberals have had their hypocrisy throughout the years, and now it's the Republicans turn to go full "Hold my Busch."
Just don't, he doesn't understand. He thinks our judicial system operates on gut feelings.
You just proved why he would be a fool to lie now. If he perjures himself under oath, and rest assured the special counsel already has all the information they need and then some to know if he does, then Cohen is in deep doo doo.
This should be obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense.
Evidently. I just don't know how anyone who knows how to use a computer or a phone could be so obtuse.
I don't understand how anyone could watch this hearing and think to themselves "clearly the Republicans are the good guys in the room."
Maybe years of conditioning by Rush and Fox News and their yelling over guests and planting thoughts in place of discussion.

No, like the evangelist that screams "hang the Queer", you'll find him in the closet. That's a metaphor.
Decades (life) in prison instead of 3 years? I wouldn't lie.
Think about this part of your statement...then flog yourself.
I was amazed at how easily the Republicans turned Cohen into a sympathetic figure. He held the Championship belt for the biggest douche supporter of Trump for years, by the end of the hearing I was starting to feel for the guy. Way go Repubs.
Shorter: "I watched 'My Cousin Vinny' 15 times, and boy oh boy, after the prosecution lays out its case, those kids looked totally fooked!!!"
