Re Cohen - let me make this pellucidly clear

Smokey Eyes cannot tell me what is laughable or suggest that we should dismiss Cohen because he lies given the fact that the vile MAGAcretin has lied to the American public close to 9,000 times to date.
Smokey eyes has also been caught lying several times.

Cohen has tapes and documents.

This kakistocracy is full of LIARS.

Lest they go down with Trump as a party, with whatever dignity or credibility they have left.

The 2020 Presidential election and the fate of Congressional Republicans lie in Trump's hands. Democrats will rise from their ashes stronger and more determined to turn this country around from the laughingstock it has become.

Weisselberg’s testimony is the best kept “secret” that will wrap it all up when Mueller is ready, imo.

(something like) “...yeah, and I’ll run it by Allen...Allen Weisselberg...” and I googled that name immediately and I tell you, my brains exploded all over the wall!!!

If Cohen hadn’t had the decency to give us his last name, we’d never have known who this “Allen” character was!

When Weisselberg, apparently, appeared in front of a Grand Jury (I think?) and was subsequently granted immunity, well then, YEAH, things started looking up!

I’M TAKIN THE ACCOUNTANT WITH ME!!!

22. Trump/Cohen:a liar calling someone who lied for the liar a liar for no longer lying for him.
Tue Feb 26, 2019, 11:56 AM
Feb 2019

Once someone stops lying for Trump - he calls them a liar. As long as they are lying for him, Trump calls them "quality people".

Is Cohen a liar? Yes, he is - because he lied continuously for years to benefit Trump.

But he is a liar with a paper trail that shows his lies were for and at the direction of Trump.

Making him someone who is telling the truth - now - with a paper trail to prove it.

It's easy to follow. Well, maybe not for a Trump supporter.

"Pellucidly clear" is redundant.

Agree that there should be/will be documents or tapes or corroborating testimony for claims that Cohen makes.
