Cohen wants to testify before Dem House on TV in Feb since he wants revenge on tRump. This is like the John Dean and Nixon moment in Watergate. When Dean told us about Nixon and the tapes we finally knew that not only did he know about the crimes, but he ordered some of the crimes. The US public opinion finally turned against Nixon and his base, and that pressured the GOP at the time to turn on Nixon finally.
The fucking moron's base will get a few seeds planted in their tiny, little minds that their dear leader not only knew about Russia's crimes but worked with Russia and this continued after the election. When others testify, like Don Jr, more and more of his cult will turn against him.
The Dems said they would do this and they are keeping their word. We do not need to wait for Mueller's report to hope for his base to wake up to the truth. This IS scaring the fucking moron and he will be angry and dangerous more than he ever has. Find a good spot to hide but keep the party hats near by. Independence Day may be sooner than July 4th.
This is basically a summary from the beginning of Nicole Wallace's show today when she discussed the news with pundits.

(7,142 posts)For the juicy Russian collusion stuff. Cohen May do that at another committee in secret. Regardless, what he says will come out.

(51,632 posts)distractions from the White House. The pundits said a couple of times that the shut down will never end now. Expect more to come up besides the wall and shut down. He is terrified over what Cohen could tell and he knows EVERYTHING!

(115,869 posts)He suspected that there might have been some recording system but he had no actual knowledge that there was one. However, he tipped off investigators to the possibility, which led to their questioning of Alexander Butterfield - who was one of only two or three people besides Nixon himself who knew about the tapes.

(51,632 posts)Mueller gave the Dems the OK to do it as far as not hurting and interfering with whatever Mueller has on him.

(4,341 posts)He will retaliate, he will do something stupid to try to save his butt, this rat has no concept of consequences, and that makes him very dangerous.
The military needs to prove its patriotism and keep a close watch on the rat.

(31 posts)If you think this is going to be some great revelation to them, you are wrong. They know he is incompetent, crooked, a sleazebag and in bed with the Russians. They also know he is a spittle spewing bigot and thats all they care about.

(1,588 posts)Feb 7th. Someone noted that would then translate to more people working, and less able to watch the hearings. Seriously, dotard is truly capable of doing anything to try to save himself. Cohen is using the mafia code to even the score. Good for him.

(7,434 posts)IMO, Cohen needs beefed-up security from this point forward. Trumpy KNOWS that Cohen can sink him faster than Mueller. I'd be concerned that an assassin given the wink and nod by Putin, who gets the wink and nod from Trumpy, will do the deed. An assassination is NOT outside of Trumpy's spectrum of self-protective actions. Remember, Trumpy has no conscience. He will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to protect his power and accumulated wealth, including murder. There are no guard rails.
BigmanPigman
(51,632 posts)Remember when he said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and no one would care? Some of his base wouldn't care but some would. He thinks he is invincible so why not be brazen and kill Cohen.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,121 posts)He cant even fire someone, not ever, not once, he makes others do it.
He is literally the biggest coward who ever lived other than maybe hannity and oreilly and limbaugh.
ANY confrontation even if he has the gun, he is scared shitless of
Hermit-The-Prog
(33,447 posts)Trump's deplorable base loves Russia and Putin. They also idolize lawbreakers (as long as it's not a Dem breaking the law).
Still nearly 70% of the public that can be educated, though.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,121 posts)That this is all a set up, he has been promised a pardon, he knows putin will do him and his family harm if he rats and he is going to pretend to tell the truth etc right up to the day and then he starts lying to protect rump.
Hope not.
