(29,722 posts)They weren't happy with his lack of songs, so here they come.
Bettie
(16,124 posts)however, if he lies again, he can get more added to it and there is a great deal of discretion over WHERE he spends those three years.
His life can get a lot worse or it can stay where it is, with a fairly light sentence served in a place that is relatively pleasant (compared to other options).

(39,379 posts)Potentially extra time for false ones.
Bettie
(16,124 posts)is that he has nothing to gain, but everything to lose.
mitch96
(13,924 posts)The reason I mentioned it was a comment by one of the talking head lawyers on the tv machine. She said the length of time can be modified by the presiding judge if "extra" cooperation was deemed appropriate for the case..

(28,811 posts)i liked the way he just explained that everybody's job in trumpworld is to protect trump. the republicans are all in for trumpworld.
Politicub
(12,165 posts)According to Cohens testimony.
KLRIQ2
(59 posts)Its the entirety of the culture of trumps sphere of influence and operations.
Cohen was just a man laid bare before the world, the epitome of speak truth to power.
Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)I just wish Cohen were the type of conclude every segment with something like that, like a boxer flurrying in the final seconds to steal a round
True Blue American
(17,988 posts)Thanks if he shouts it is effective, but what Cohen told Republicans what they were doing in a soft voice that will be on the news.
Ligyron
(7,639 posts)As in GrOPer asshole "Jordan thinks if he shouts...". Don't mean to be picky, it just took me a minute to figure you meaning.
I think.

NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)Brett Kavanaugh cried, yelled ans sniveled in his follow-up testimony before the Senate. Trump supposedly LOVED it, so the House GOP is trying to repeat the same tactics.

(2,624 posts)They thought they were going to brutalize him the way they did Dr. Ford, but since he was one of them, he knows their game. Dayum, this is going to be seriously ugly for Republicansand no one deserves it more!

(4,037 posts)Calling tRump a liar, racist and cheat, and calling Republicans complicit is just what I feared wed hear. It sounds cute but its not enough to rid us of this sham of a president. Everybody knows this stuff. Its all just fluff to appease a few journalists.
oldsoftie
(12,597 posts)Trump is a liar, cheat, self-aggrandizer, dirtbag, etc. We already know all that. I would add to your comment about the journalists, its also to provide soundbites for House representatives.
We're not gonna get anything solid regarding Russian involvement in the election, collusion, treason, etc.
I could be wrong, but thats my feeling.
Volaris
(10,274 posts)But the closed session is upcoming, and I would at least guess that behind closed doors, in a CLASSIFIED SETTING he will be able to offer testimony about things that are thus far classified (OR UNDER SEAL WITH THE GRAND JURY?).
I'm not a lawyer. Somebody who is, can chime in please, and educate me?
oldsoftie
(12,597 posts)But as we've seen already, i dont think it'll have anything to do with Russia. All he would say is that he wouldnt put it past trump, which none of us would. But no info of actually working WITH any russians other than the hotel deal. And he also said he never thought the tape existed too.
But there could be stuff we havent even THOUGHT of that would fall under the "classified" category
GetRidOfThem
(869 posts)That if Trump loses the next election he is not going to cede power peacefully...
oldsoftie
(12,597 posts)Hell, the Secret Service would probably just take him into custody.
These types always have people like Cohen to do dirty work for them. But when the shit hits the fan, they find out no one close to them is loyal to them at all.
I'm sure the forefathers of this country wrote up how to deal with a usurper.
Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)I'm just hoping to keep Trump's approval rating down toward 2020. Any drop of a point or two is significant. I realize others have hopes of ending Trump's presidency but I just don't view that as realistic.
We should have college campus registration drives in full swing right now.

(22 posts)Cohen lied on 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙛 of the president, at the 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙩 of the president. The rePubs oh so conveniently don't address that fact.
They seem to forget that a person is judged by the company that they keep ....
Ligyron
(7,639 posts)Cohen is sharper than I thought.

(182,877 posts)I can only warn people, the more people that follow Mr. Trump as I did, blindly, are going to suffer the same consequences that Im suffering, Cohen said.

(216 posts)Jordan: If it was so bad working for Trump, why did you work for him for ten years?
Cohen: Well, how long did you work side by side with a child molester before you were able to become a Congressman.
True Blue American
(17,988 posts)Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)Has any Republican Congressman offered one piece of information or evidence that runs counter to Cohen's testimony? Or just a barrage of hateful non-sequiturs?
True Blue American
(17,988 posts)The only thing they have done is insult Cohen.
They have Trump tar all over them.
DirtEdonE
(1,220 posts)To make them this subservient and complicit in his crimes.
pootin pulled the same sting on them he pulled on trump. pootin has the entire gop in, let's just say, "compromising" positions. And on his payroll, obviously, considering the gop traitors who have accepted russian money and the outrageous amounts involved - not to mention the sex tapes on each and every one of those perverts.
Remember when that gop delegation went to russia? I'll bet they all wet the same bed trump did. On video. 4K. With Dolby sound.
True Blue American
(17,988 posts)Are just like Trump. Sleazy cheats that will do anything.
Volaris
(10,274 posts)The dirty Russian RNC money. They all know this as well.
Getting them to play ball is just a matter of knowing who cashed the checks.
