That tells us exactly how desperate certain people are to continue the concept of a perpetual investigation on our President. To be perfectly clear, there would be zero reason for anyone to be pushing the word of a convicted liar if these same people felt that the two year long Special Counsel investigation was going to go their way.
But the reality is that there is no known evidence that Trump conspired with Russia to break the law. There is no known evidence that he obstructed any of the four investigations that have been going on or have already completed. There is nothing from any of these investigations that criminally indicts the President.
The obvious sad truth, however, is that if Mueller comes back and disappoints the Democrats with whatever is released from his report, I would suspect that they will simply take it in stride and move on with their next round of allegations.
Step forward, Michael Cohen.
A convicted liar, going to jail over his personal dealings, apparently feels he has little to lose by making allegations against others. But if he had anything of any substance, he would have already traded it to prosecutors for a better deal. There is quite literally nothing in his sentencing memos that suggests there was anything of real substance that he offered. If there had been, it would likely be tied up with an ongoing case.
So riddle me this? Why would Cohen have held back incriminating information from prosecution (where it could have helped him), in order to save it for a closed door hearing with Congress (where it does him no good)?
The payoffs to Stormy Daniels are not illegal for the President to have made. The Federal Elections Commission as well as past legal precedent has declared them not eligible to be a campaign expense. The fact that the President was looking to build in Moscow is perfectly legal and completely irrelevant (other than Cohen lied while everyone else told the truth).
The concept of Trump tax crimes is a ridiculous claim considering the President has been audited for tax purposes every year since the beginning of time. Certainly the IRS is capable of figuring out if Trump is underestimating his assets for tax purposes, and our IRS depreciation formulas are pretty hard to manipulate. Moreover, Cohen is neither an accountant or Trump's tax attorney.
The coldheartedtruth is that his whole thing is likely an presumptive exaggeration by the oft-wrong Maggie Haberman, diluted by an overzealous Michael Cohen, who more likely than not is doing little more today than recycling the information that everyone already knows about.
But given the fact that the hearing is "private" - it will allow for all sorts of speculation, grandstanding, and suggestions from politicians that more damning information is "coming soon".

if he had held back anything he'd be in even MORE trouble.
this is fucking retarded. the man has been disbarred. his lying is pathological. it takes a true imbecile like cummings and his merry band of fucktards to even call this hearing.
and due to its 'private' nature, believe NOTHING coming out of this testimony. this whole thing is a set up to further schitt's shenanigans.
Yes,this is to give Schiff justification to keep investigating
Something MSNBC didn't think about when they breathlessly reported it this morning.

If Cohen had something he would have traded it for a better plea deal.
And if he told Mullier he wouldn't be allowed to testify before Congress.
These people are so overwhelmed with TDS they just don't think.
This is why I support her as the Democratic candidate for President.
(CNN) 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris made clear on Tuesday that she believes President Donald Trump is a racist.
"Well look, when you talk about his statement on (Charlottesville), when you talk about him calling African countries s-hole countries, when you talk about him referring to immigrants as rapists and murderers, I don't think you can reach any other conclusion," Harris, a Democratic senator from California, said in an interview with The Root published Tuesday.
-----
I have been saying the same thing since Charlottesville Good people on both sides. Sh*tholes.
Harris was asked, "So you definitely agree that he's a racist?"
"I do, yes. Yes," Harris replied.
Harris' answer is in line with previous comments she has made, but it's the most direct she has been in calling Trump a racist. Others in the 2020 Democratic have taken a more cautious approach.
---- She's telling you the truth about the President, you have loved since he was sworn in.
His credibility is very difficult but he may have information that's going to just blow the doors off.
Campaign finance laws have been broken under the orders of the candidate Trump.
Some of the lawyers are saying he's in trouble.

McConnell Not Sure Trump’s Declaration Is Legal
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he has yet to determine whether President Trump’s emergency declaration to build border barriers is legal, The Hill reports.
Said McConnell: “I haven’t reached a total conclusion.”
His credibility is very difficult but he may have information that's going to just blow the doors off
If he had information to "just blow the doors off" don't you think Mullier would have already given him immunity?
He doesn't have anything of substance but he does have one last chance to take revenge on Trump before he goes to prison for three years.
And the Democrats are only too willing to help him.
What, All the bombshells and shoes have dropped?

“Get the f*** back to your country.” (Photo: Facebook)
A Muslim woman living in Texas was at a Kroger grocery store on Sunday when she was confronted by another customer who made racist remarks, telling her to “get the f*** back to your country.”
Mai Mohamed has been living in Houston for three years on a visa from Egypt with her husband and four children, but she has never experienced discrimination to the degree of what took place when she was filling up her water bottle outside of the store and encountered a woman who took issue with her hijab.
Mohamed’s friend, Fatima Loughlin-Saleh, told Yahoo Lifestyle Mohamed was wearing a “very Westernized outfit” with a hijab when a woman started making comments about how she looked “ugly.” The confrontation quickly escalated into an aggressive case of bullying before Mohamed started recording the moment on video.
In the video, which was posted to Loughlin-Saleh’s Facebook page, the unnamed woman is seen screaming expletives at Mohamed, giving her the middle finger and even telling her to “go back to her f***ing country.” What made matters worse for Mohamed, however, was the way that the situation was handled by a Kroger employee who got involved, but failed to offer her assistance.
yeah, i saw it denny. try to imagine how little i care.
for the record, i denounce that type of behavior. whenever i see a woman in a hijab i walk the other way very quickly, and just hope that i've exceeded her blast radius.
It is rumored that he has a check signed by the President, to be used to silence Daniels from publicity will be presented at the hearing in the house of Representatives, today. If it has his signature campaign finance laws, have been broken under the orders of the candidate Trump.

CNN Caught again. Redux 2016.
"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) participated in a town hall event that aired on CNN Monday as part of his campaign for the 2020 election–but some online sleuths have discovered that the audience may have been stacked against him.
During the event, a young woman who asked Sanders a critical question about allegations of sexual harassment in his campaign was introduced as a student at American University.
However, the student was also reportedly an intern for Cassidy & Associates, a large lobbying firm in Washington, D.C.

According to a report from Paste Magazine, this wasn’t the only fishy audience member. Several audience members were introduced without disclosing their professional ties to politics. Two audience members actually worked within the Democratic Party establishment.
— CNN called Tara Ebersole a “former biology professor” when her LinkedIn page lists her current job description as “Chair, Baltimore County Democratic Party” since 2016. Further, her husband was part of Hillary Clinton’s leadership council in Baltimore in 2016.
— Abena McAllister was labeled “an active Democrat,” which is far less descriptive than the Charles County Democratic Central Committee’s description of her as their Chair."

learn your history alky. the republican party was founded in part, to combat the issue of slavery. slaves were held by democrats and were terrorized by the KKK - the terrorist arm of the democrat party. and it wasn't founded until 1854, so there WEREN'T ANY republicans in the south before then. and very few after.

they adhere to a cult of death. their book of death instructs them to enslave or kill non-believers.
when i see one parading around in her bee-keeper suit, i have no way of knowing if she's concealing 10 pounds of C-4 explosive with her finger on a detonator.
so like anyone with a fundamental level of situational awareness, i place as much distance as possible between her and me in an attempt to be outside of the blast radius.

HANOI – Hours before his former personal attorney was expected to describe him as a "con man" in bombshell congressional testimony, President Donald Trump broke from a high-stakes summit in Vietnam to fire back, denouncing Michael Cohen as a liar.
"Michael Cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me (unfortunately)," Trump tweeted from Hanoi, site of his second summit with Kim devoted to North Korea's nuclear weapons. "He had other clients also."
He was Trump's lawyer for ten years.
The President is very nervous about the testimony by Cohen today.
He will be spending the next three years in prison. He has nothing to gain.
A lot of Republicans are getting very nervous. Trump's popularity in the Republican party makes it difficult for those who sacrificed party loyalty over country. Since Cohen has already apologized for lying to Congress before, under the orders of the President, we shall see today. The Republicans will try to interrupt his testimony.
This could be a great moment in history.
It does introduce an uncomfortable question for Kamala Harris.
Does her slave owning half have to pay reparations to her slave half?

she's indian and jamaican. i suspect her ancestors were owned by no one and none of them picked any cotton.
so like any democrat, she's a fraud who's living a lie.
and furthermore, how does one even begin to process a single reparation check for people in the present day related to events so far in the past? we can't even adequately deal with the 9/11 victims fund for chrissakes. and that was set up to deal with an event from less than 20 years ago.

Nuclear Bombshell?
Report: Michael Cohen plans to show Congress a $35,000 hush money check during his bombshell testimony, signed by Trump while he was in office.
AOL.COM 46 mins ago
Michael Cohen will show lawmakers a $35,000 check from President Donald Trump, signed while he was in office, Axios reported Wednesday.
The check reportedly reimbursed Cohen for a hush money payment that he sent to Stormy Daniels, the porn star who claims to have had an affair with Trump years ago.
Cohen is also expected to accuse Trump of engaging in criminal conduct while in office.
Michael Cohen plans to exhibit a $35,000 check from President Donald Trump, signed while he was in office, during his bombshell public testimony to Congress on Wednesday, Axios reported Wednesday.
Citing an unnamed source, Axios said the check reimbursed Cohen for a hush money payment that he facilitated to Stormy Daniels, the porn star who claims to have had an affair with Trump years ago.
The source said: "It was another installment in the illegal hush money 'reimbursed' to Cohen ... for [the Stormy Daniels] hush money payoff."
It's not clear whether Cohen will display the original or a copy.
Trump denies the affairs and initially denied knowing anything about the payments.
Cohen is expected to accuse Trump of engaging in criminal conduct while in office. The allegation relates to the Daniels hush money payment, but specific details are otherwise scant.
He will also describe Trump as "a racist," "a conman," and "a cheat" in his testimony, according to leaked texts of his testimony.
Cohen is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee from 10 a.m. ET.

Alayna Treene, Mike Allen2 hours ago
Scoop: Check signed by Trump to be displayed at Cohen hearing.
A $35,000 check signed by Donald Trump on Aug. 1, 2017 (after he became president) will be displayed during Michael Cohen's testimony to the House Oversight Committee today, a source close to Cohen tells Axios.
"It was another installment in the illegal hush money 'reimbursed' to Cohen ... for [the Stormy Daniels] hush money payoff," the source said.
Excerpts from Cohen's opening statement, provided to the N.Y. Times and others, and confirmed for Axios:
"I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump’s illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience. I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is."
"He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat. He was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National Committee emails."
"He once asked me if I could name a country run by a black person that wasn’t a 'shithole.' This was when Barack Obama was President."
"While we were once driving through a struggling neighborhood in Chicago, he commented that only black people could live that way."
"And, he told me that black people would never vote for him because they were too stupid."
----- This is exactly why the racist rodent bastard is so much in love with the President.
----
Cohen then narrates documents he gave the committee:
"Mr. Trump inflated his total assets when it served his purposes, such as trying to be listed among the wealthiest people in Forbes, and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes."
"Mr. Trump directed me to find a straw bidder to purchase a portrait of him that was being auctioned at an Art Hamptons Event. The objective was to ensure that his portrait, which was going to be auctioned last, would go for the highest price of any portrait that afternoon."
"The portrait was purchased by the fake bidder for $60,000. Mr. Trump directed the Trump Foundation, which is supposed to be a charitable organization, to repay the fake bidder, despite keeping the art for himself."
"He asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair, and to lie to his wife about it, which I did. Lying to the First Lady is one of my biggest regrets."
"I am giving the Committee today a copy of the $130,000 wire transfer from me to [Stormy Daniels'] attorney."

Muslims Are Violent, Terrorist Extremists
Terrorism cannot be justified under any valid interpretation of the Islamic faith. The entire Qur'an, taken as a complete text, gives a message of hope, faith, and peace to a faith community of one billion people. The overwhelming message is that peace is to be found through faith in God and justice among fellow human beings.
Muslim leaders and scholars frequently speak out against terrorism in all its forms, and they offer explanations of misinterpreted or twisted teachings.

Islam Is Intolerant of Other Faiths
Throughout the Qur'an, Muslims are reminded that they are not the only ones who worship God. Jews and Christians are called "People of the Book," meaning that they people who have received previous revelations from the One Almighty God that we all worship.
The Qur'an also commands Muslims to protect from harm not only mosques, but also monasteries, synagogues, and churches--because "God is worshiped therein."

Islam Promotes "Jihad" to Spread Islam by the Sword and Kill All Unbelievers
The word Jihad stems from an Arabic word which means "to strive." Other related words include "effort," "labor," and "fatigue." Essentially Jihad is an effort to practice religion in the face of oppression and persecution. The effort may come in fighting the evil in your own heart, or in standing up to a dictator.
Military effort is included as an option, but as a last resort and not "to spread Islam by the sword."
Never in a million years did I imagine, when I accepted a job in 2007 to
work for Donald Trump, that he would one day run for President, launch a campaign on a platform of hate and intolerance, and actually win. I regret
the day I said “yes” to Mr. Trump. I regret all the help and support I gave
him along the way.
I am ashamed of my own failings, and I publicly accepted responsibility for
them by pleading guilty in the Southern District of New York.
I am ashamed of my weakness and misplaced loyalty – of the things I did
for Mr. Trump in an effort to protect and promote him.
I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump’s illicit acts
rather than listening to my own conscience.
I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is.
He is a racist.
He is a conman.
He is a cheat.
He was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking
with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National
Committee emails.
