I INDICTED A TRUMP CRIME FAMILY ASSOCIATE JUST TO WATCH HIM CRY
President Trumps personal lawyer Michael Cohen is the newest focus in the congressional investigation into Russias alleged tampering with the 2016 election.
Cohen confirmed to ABC News on Tuesday that House and Senate investigators have asked him to provide information and testimony about any contacts he had with people tied to the Kremlin.
But Cohen said he turned down the request because it was poorly phrased, overly broad and not capable of being answered.

(115,576 posts)They're talking about how Cohen could rely on attorney-client privilege to refuse to talk but the committees will try to narrow the scope of the questioning. They are interested in "financial entanglements."
Follow the money.

"The F.B.I. is reviewing an unverified dossier, compiled by a former British intelligence agent and funded by Mr. Trumps political opponents, that claims Mr. Cohen met with a Russian representative in Prague during the presidential campaign to discuss Russias hacking of Democratic targets. But the Russian official named in the report told The New York Times that he had never met Mr. Cohen. Mr. Cohen insists that he has never visited Prague and that the dossiers assertions are fabrications."

(5,611 posts)Cohen was doing his usual bullying routine and screaming that he had never been to Prague, ever, SEE MY PASSPORT? NO STAMP! Once someone pointed out the fact that the EU doesn't stamp passports once you are in the EU Cohen seemed to disappear for quite awhile.
