The “liar, liar, pants on fire” guy just set the bar for best defense of a corrupt president ever entered into the congressional record. Go Arizona!

The GOP is an embarrassment.  From top to bottom.

Democrats wanted to preserve slavery in the South?
Republicans did not?
Perhaps you ought to invest in a good book about U .S. political parties.

The whole "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire" crap from the GOP has a hard time sticking when pieces like this come out:
http://bos.gl/GvgLSAd

Fordham University says, yeah, Cohen threatened a suit from Trump if Trump's grades came out.

Nor are they the only folks to corroborate Cohen's testimony on this.

That the GOP never asked Cohen about Trump suggests that each of those House members should anticipate their time on tape will be replayed repeatedly during the 2020 campaign.

So, too, Cohen's mea culpa for the GOP "silliness" as exhibited by that sign - that it was because he spent 10 years doing what they were doing --> defending Trump.

A lot to process from today.  Big take away from me…Cohen highlighted crimes/schemes/lies that led directly to Trump winning the election.  Most of this we knew already, but as it gets too often lost in the litany of Trump controversies, worth hearing about on the record, under oath, from a top level insider; Trump OK’d Illegal bribes that prevented the US electorate from hearing about two seedy affairs he maintained while married to the FLOTUS.  Trump knew about and approved of efforts by a hostile foreign power to get him elected through the theft of DNC and Clinton emails.  Trump lied and directed others to lie about the extent of his financial connections to Russia while suspicions swirled about Russia’s role before the election.  Trump refused to release his tax returns because he did not think they would come out clean after they were scrutinized by experts, not because of an IRS audit.

Most embarrassing for us, though?  The fact that Trump ran for President as a marketing stunt and we fucking elected him.  This is who we are now.

https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/roger-stone-couldnt-resist-responding-to-cohens-testimony-and-may-be-jailed-as-a-result/

What part of "gag order" do you suppose Roger Stone was having a hard time understanding?!
Uh oh.

As I understand it, the gag order does not prevent Stone from publicly proclaiming his innocence.

Not quite.

It doesn't stop him from responding to inquiries to his defense fund. It explicitly directs him to have no public statements (or social media ones) that involve any of the other investigations into Trump or people involved with said investigations.

Over 5 million cases across all 50 states.

There is also evidence (not mentioned in this article) that it has spread to Australia.

Bambi, you should get checked out - you have demonstrated some symptoms.

Boy, and with you having a chance to review every piece of evidence like you did!

What evidence?
It was one man's word  versus Pell's word.

Not in my book...and I am not alone...many people are saying it.

BTW, in five minites AOC effectively built a rationale for subpoena of Trump’s tax returns.

Can understand why the GOP is so afraid of her.

Bambi has posted here victim shaming rants about women wearing skirts that are too short. It’s only logically coherent to find  men in skirts too long exonerating.

Speaking of skirts, Individual 1’s aren’t long enough to keep his broken offspring out of prison.

Congress can do one of these a month through 2019 and one every other week up through the election.

I wish we’d learned more about Cohen’s halcyon days as a high official in the RNC, though that falls under matters still under investigation.

Folks, remember - evidence only counts if Bambi says it counts.

He doesn't understand science, let alone settled science. He doesn't understand evidence, let along the notion that he is unaware of all of the evidence.

And if he is unconvinced, nobody should be convinced!

For a convicted liar, I thought Cohen came off as believable.

I hope he announced a book and movie deal tomorrow.

Clooney as Cohen?

Rep Jordan is a fucking douche-bag.

He could have run this hearing pre-'18 election except that his party ducked the responsibility and were part of the cover-up.

Lindy Chamberlain, basically convicted by the 'lynch mob baying for blood'.

"Her husband's a Seventh Day Adventist pastor.
They have a black coffin in their garage.
She has a weird haircut.
There's something strange about them".

Evidence, para; "That stuff on the floor of their car is baby's blood".
Try rustproofing solution present in many cars of that model....or chocolate milk shake.

bambu -ilk demand to see 'proper' evidence before rushing to say 'guilty'.

Lindy said baby Azaria was wearing a jacket...no jacket was found.
"She's a liar".
No body...Lindy was convicted...25 years in prison, hard labour.
Jacket was found when English tourist fell to his death off Uluru [Ayers Rock], and landed near a dingo lair.
Just as Lindy had always said..."a dingo took my baby."
Lindy was released from prison.

Beware 'lynch mobs baying for blood'.

Oh I'm a long way from being convinced. So are many people. including Miranda, Andrew Bolt and others.

According to AA, after mass he and another choirboy escaped from a procession and dashed into the sacristy to drink the altar wine when Pell came in, parted his robes and forced them to perform oral sex.

There are no witnesses and evidence was given that the second alleged victim, who died long ago, told his mother that he had not been sexually abused while a chorister.

Bear in mind that his favorite radio host convinced him that 280 is 97% of 400.

Sometimes it's just more merciful if the dingo does eat the occasional baby.
