If Michael Cohen can see the light, so can Trump's lackeys - even you, Jim Jordan

[Zorro]

Almost the moment he took his seat before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former fixer, dumped out a trove of glittering doubloons. Then, for good measure, he emptied two massive lawn bags of breadcrumbs.

The coins were damning facts about the president. The breadcrumbs were names of other witnesses who could bring the committee more gold.

In short order, we got the inside line on how the gray-green Trump sausage is made. You pretend to be rich when you want a loan, you pretend to be poor when you ask “the tax department for a deduction.” You pretend to be a ladies’ man when you think the mic is off; you pretend to be faithful wife by having your lawyer lie to your wife. You tweet that you’re a paragon of health; you pretend to be frail to sit out Vietnam.

All that pretending takes some virtuoso fixing, where “fixing” is breaking the truth and hot-gluing it into the weird garbage art that Trumpworld uses to justify itself.

2. They won't see the light until they face serious consequences.

3. It took an indictment before Cohen saw the light.

I expect it'll be the same for the other sycophants.
