[Ripster42]

Turns out cohen may have lied to congress in his recent testimony (though not for sure).

Depends if cohen directed his lawyer to ask about it, or if the attorney asked upon his own prerogative. It would be crazy if that was the reason for having a different lawyer at his hearing.
@DocSavageFan This is the type of thing that actually matters, while the distinction between "white house job" and "administration" doesn't.

Cohen? Oh, the guy that Trump used and relied upon for over ten years to do his dirty work. That Cohen.

Gotta say, the long streak of Trump not paying people that work for him seems to continue if this story is true. Whether Cohen asked, his lawyers asked, or nobody asked, he didn't get one. And now the House has him for another eight hours Wednesday.

Is that going to be public as well!? =D

Man, not sure my diet can take in all this popcorn! >_<

Actually it's a repeat of the HIC from Thursday, and no.

And don't worry about your figure, it takes about 40 cups of over-the-counter popcorn to gain a pound.

Remember how Republicans continue to try to portray Cohen as wholly unbelievable given his lies? Bad news, because there was a poll on this, actually.

Americans believe Michael Cohen in greater numbers than Donald Trump.

American voters trust Michael Cohen more than President Trump, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.

The university asked people on both sides of the aisle who was more believable in the wake of Cohen’s congressional testimony — and 50 percent of those polled picked Trump’s former lawyer.

Only 35 percent of the respondents chose the president, according to Quinnipiac.

Whoops.

Trump is a victim of Russia, Stone, Wikileaks, Manafort, Flynn and Cohen conspiring. He just needs to call them democrats and we are all set.

Well, Cohen testifies again tomorrow. Could be a big one.

Remind me again - what was the purpose of this next one for? I mean, what's it going to cover that the first one didn't?

Last week he had 3 days of testimony, 1 in closed session to the Senate on Tuesday, one in front of the House and in front of America, and then one behind closed doors where they could talk about everything that they couldn't talk about during Wednesday on Thursday. They also apparently got through more information that they couldn't on Wednesday. And apparently Cohen had more, so they asked him to come back the 6th of March. So apparently he had more to go through that they asked him back that soon. I am not sure if he is going in front of another committee or what, but he was asked to come back.

Interesting indeed!

Hope he has another introduction akin to the one he made last week with even more damning info... and that the NYT can get ahold of that one as well! ^_^

There were also more claims made and Cohen promised to bring receipts and dig up more if given a few days to get them.

Congressional Testimony Megathread? This is a joke, right? Yeah, that’s not designed to suppress negative coverage at all...

It is about Cohen and just about anyone else that is going to be called to testify. Something wrong with that?

[Moonstream]

Is this one going to be a public hearing?

[Breccia]

No.

It's the HIC so that's not a big surprise. They had him Thursday for eight hours, which wasn't enough. Also
