Cohen faces Jail for lying to Congress. No one is LESS likely to lie to Congress again than Cohen

If there is anyone in our nation who understands the consequences of lying to a Congressional Committee it is Michael Cohen who is about to enter prison, in part because of having done just that. Yet Cohen is testifying again before Congress, voluntarily, under oath.

Nothing comes closer to defining a perjury trap than this for someone who is not planning to testify truthfully. Republicans will push to prosecute Cohen again in a nano second if they catch him in any lie.

Right now Michael Cohen is the most credible person in that hearing. Period.

I wish one of the Democrats would make that point, if not Cohen himself. What type of idiot would get convicted of lying to Congress under oath, and then willingly lie again to Congress under oath knowing the consequences for doing so?
