Heidi Przybyla on MSNBC just announced the republican plan for the Cohen hearing.

[madaboutharry]

Disrupt. Disrupt. And Disrupt some more.

The republican plan is to behave like assholes and try to shut the hearing down every time Cohen tries to speak.

I anticipate yelling and shouting.

[mucifer]

1. Remember that's who Cohen is, too. He is a bully. He knows how to play their game

[Sherman A1]

7. Don't know about that

Bullies usually fold when confronted.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. Guess when you go "all in" you decide you are

Going down with the ship (trump).

If I was consulting for any of them, I would tell them to stay neutral so as to not piss off either side.

[duforsure]

3. Shows the former republicans , now fascists hate mongers,

Didn't learn anything from the disastrous Mid terms defeat they took. Every day he's still in office means another day of bad news and more getting exposed about trump , and their crimes against our country that will come out. This will only increase the chances all of our government will soon be completely controlled by the Democrats. They are only digging heir own holes deeper, and deeper before it all comes caving in on them. The party of fascists will not be acceptable, ever by the American people. 2020 is getting closer. If he's allowed to promote phony emergencies ,expect him to declare the next election one, and to bypass what's coming at them, consequences.

4. Bad strategy

[Sherman A1]

5. Agreed

They may be disruptive, but it will do little good. The prepared statement is already released and the information will come out.

[manor321]

6. The Democrats should keep calm.

If the Democrats respond with shouting, the press will "both sides" the whole thing.

8. They tried that with Whitaker appearance before Jerry Nadler's House Judiciary Cmte

It didn't work out very well and Nadler found the way to quickly dispatch each attempt.

[GWC58]

9. Color me

not surprised by anything the “Party of Trumpism” says AND does to defend “Dear Leader.” Remember the sycophants in Trump’s Cabinet had their own “Dear Leader” moment? I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Well, at least, NOT in these United States. North Korea and other dictatorial nations? Yes!! 👿☠️😡

[Hortensis]

10. Of course. They planned over 100 "amendments" to

the Judiciary Committee's bill for background checks for gun sales on line, at shows, etc., as part of obstructing the vote to advance it, and spent 10 hours in various disrupting and delaying tactics, including being allowed to introduce and argue over a dozen amendments, before Chair Jerry Nadler forced the vote.

And this was just a committee vote to advance a bill to the floor, legislation that over 80% of Americans want passed! Nothing that could end up sending Trump to prison.

[Vinca]

11. Thanking them in advance for the clips we can use in the 2020 campaign.

[padah513]

12. I bet Cummings shuts them down

[onetexan]

13. I certainly hope he can shut them up

They w do their best to derail, or in the least, attempt to cause raucous so as to not allow an orderly and credible hearing. The depths these GOP will go thru is appalling. Then again ever since the Idiot burst into the political foray everything has been appalling.

[Chipper Chat]

15. If Gym gets out of line

Can't Cummings have him removed by the Sgt at Arms?

[Generic Brad]

14. The optics will be devastating for them

Good. If that is the course they choose, they deserve every bit of karmic backlash that swings their way.
