Cohen says National Enquirer head David Pecker paid $15,000 in hush money to kill story alleging that Trump fathered a child with a Trump hotel employee. "Is there a love child?" Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) asks Cohen as a follow-up. He says, there's not.

   That's an important point @jmyrlefuller It obviously shows that Trump was paying off crap that indeed wasn't true, can give ATers that warm peed all over feeling about him ever doing Stormy or McDougal.

   I smell Nixon's Ehrlichman, Dean and Colson.

Why? His multiple lies before the committee today has the makings of a great drinking game!

I'm not sure if there's enough Bourbon in Kentucky and Whiskey in Tennessee for that particular drinking game.   999beer

I think it is telling that Cohen wasn't subpoenaed... he ""volunteered"" to undergo this grilling by Congressional aholes.  Who, that was already going to prison, would do that....?  Unless... they were promised certain favors .... for their so-called testimony.  It's an obvious quid pro quo setup by the rats.

Well he did admit he met with Schiff and one other Dem Congresscritter before his "testimony" today.

Yes he did.  But.... I'm not seeing Cohen doing much damage to Trump in this testimony.  So, the deal may be 'off'.

I'll don my "nuetral objective" hat, and state, the worst the dims have on Trump right now is that he allegedly violated campaign finance law by trying to influence an election via paying off an affair, and covering it up .  This might result in dim led impeachment. (Simple majority of house)  OTOH...  This by far does not meet the high crimes and misdeamors criteria of a Senate conviction.  No way this issues sways 20 GOP senators to vote for conviction.

Most importantly the dims failed to nab the holy grail of tying DJT to a Russian election collusion.  If anyone would have been privy to this Cohen woud have.  Without that .......    The dims don't have a ghost of a chance getting him removed from office.

I just entered a referral for criminal investigation of Michael Cohen, who violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act by illegally lobbying on behalf of foreign entities without registering

Cohen talks about "blind loyalty." His real blind loyalty? It's to the almighty dollar.

Michael Cohen is knocking down various crazy anti-Trump stories: Prague, money laundering, love child, abortion, elevator tape, other tapes, more. This, after Republicans spent all their time attacking his credibility.

Has anybody asked about Jerry Falwell’s pool boy?
I say this to Beto fans, Trump fans, all fans of politicians: it is un-American, ridiculous, and dangerous to be a fan of a politician. They aren't pop stars. Support them if you agree with their policies. Criticize them when they go wrong. They are servants, not celebrities. —— Matt Walsh

Besides the fact that despite the fact that Cohen pled guilty to violations of campaign finance laws...the way the rule is written no laws were broken because the payments were done “to resolve a personal and false allegation in order to protect the president’s family” and would have been paid anyway if if Trump hadn't run.

There’s bound to be some off the wall announcement from Trump to change the media focus. Don’t be shocked if he says the Korean War is over and US troops are coming home.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

So far, this seems like a "nothingburger" (although I hate using that term)?

I don't see anything earth shattering so far.

Mikey is a convicted liar..why the House Repubs are participating in this sham is beyond me....they should have all walked out..

The only reason they are doing this is because Trump is in VN and the Dems want to diffuse those headlines..

It's all about keeping the base enthused.

Nevermind if it drives more of the center away from them.

Two former FEC chairman said as much. No campaign finance violations here.

Besides, campaigns are fined all the time due to arcane campaign laws. Barack Obama had to pay substantial fines for violation of campaign finance laws and no one tried to impeach him.

Everything you need to know about Cohen’s testimony is sitting behind him: Lanny Davis. This is about revenge for Clinton’s 2016 loss in 2020.

The media made it seem like this was basically the end game for the Trump Presidency, meanwhile other than a payment to some dumb slut, there is basically nothing here?

Do I have this right?
