“Maggie Haberman
Maggie Haberman White House Correspondent 1:19 PM ET This bit with Cohen just now is the biggest news out of this hearing so far, guys. Cohen says the president of the United States, a year into his term, called him to direct him to lie about his own involvement with and knowledge of the Daniels payments. Sharon LaFraniere Sharon LaFraniere Washington Investigative Reporter 1:19 PM ET It would take a peace pact between North and South Korea to eclipse this testimony that the president directed Cohen to lie to the American public about a criminal scheme of hush payments. Maggie Haberman Maggie Haberman White House Correspondent 1:20 PM ET Yes, there’s little that Trump can do to take attention off this. William K. Rashbaum William K. Rashbaum Senior Metro Writer 1:21 PM ET It’s extraordinary.” |
Because that's not true. We now know that Wikileaks didn't receive the hacked emails from Guccifer (Russia) until July 2016. Cohen testified the phone call from Roger Stone to Trump happened July 19. Look how that fits into this timeline. July 14, 2016. The hackers allegedly send a file to WikiLeaks with instructions on downloading the full archive of DNC documents. July 18, 2016. WikiLeaks allegedly confirms to Guccifer 2.0 that it has accessed the 1-gigabyte file and would publish the documents “this week.” July 22, 2016. Days before Democratic convention opens, WikiLeaks begins releasing documents stolen from the DNC. July 25, 2016. According to NBC News, Stone emails Jerome Corsi, a conservative media personality who was known for questioning Barack Obama’s birthplace and who used to work for the conspiracy site InfoWars. In that message, Stone asks Corsi to go to the Ecuadoran Embassy in London where Assange lives to “get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/10/30/timeline-roger-stone-wikileaks-question/?utm_term=.88abf67e589a |
lost boxes, lost emails
I see a pattern . . . |
Those boxes were returned to him after SDNY went through them. Pay attention. |
doesn't clear his name sucks for Cohen even if he sinks Trump |
Not one republican has defended the President. |
The boxes were not lost. The authorities had already been through them and returned them to Cohen. |
This Speier questioning is wild.
Domestic violence, love child, tapes. |
Cohen has zero credibility. None. He is on a vendetta; his constant lies are making him look increasingly ridiculous. Now he alleges Trump speaks in code to get others to lie for him?? What a farce. |
It's how it works in the criminal world. |
Rep. Miller calls for congress to focus on real issues like the fake border emergency rather than this political theater. |
It's interesting testimony. I've never quite seen anything like it. |
Who are these Republican Pollyannas who thinks Trump is an innocent? They sound like children who’ve just found out their parents lied about Santa. |
I am astonished by her outrage. She seems like a real peach who cares not for America. |
Innocent of collusion or innocent of ? |
