Republicans are trying to destroy Cohen before he can accuse the president of any more crimes.

At 10 A.M. on Wednesday—10 P.M. in Hanoi, Vietnam—Michael Cohen will testify before the House Oversight Committee that Donald Trump is a racist, a liar, and a cheat. As my colleague Emily Jane Fox reports, Cohen will also accuse the president of criminal misconduct while in office. Democratic lawmakers say it will be a hearing for the ages. The G.O.P., meanwhile, is already ramping up a scorched-earth campaign to destroy Cohen’s reputation, turn him into a pariah in all quarters, and in the case of one Republican congressman, destroy his marriage. “Hey @MichaelCohen212 - Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends?” tweeted Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, flirting with witness tampering. “She’s about to learn a lot...”

Other Republicans have piled on to discredit Cohen’s potentially “earth-shattering” testimony. Fox News’s Alex Pappas got the full rundown from the R.N.C. itself, which has spent days booking its surrogates on cable news, preparing e-mail blasts to reporters, and disseminating talking points to call Cohen’s honesty and integrity into question. “Convicted felon Michael Cohen is going to prison for lying, including lies he told under oath to Congress,” party chairwoman Ronna McDaniel (née Romney) told Fox News. “This whole charade is not about truth, it is a last ditch effort to save face and cast blame on everyone but himself for his crimes.” The package also included a cheeky supercut of various Cohen TV appearances in which he effusively praised Trump, followed by: “Have fun in prison!”
