Imagine the dramatic movie-scene about Michael Cohen's congressional testimony...

It's the fourth act. We are approaching the finale. The plotlines are converging and setting the stage for the showdown.

An actor with hollow eyes and and a fuck-you-I've-got-nothing-to-lose attitude portrays Michael Cohen, confessing all the bad things he did for President Trump. The lies, the fraud, the threats, the manipulations.

Michael Cohen, the fixer, has turned against his erstwhile boss.

It's a scene full of drama. Sadness... but also ultimately relief. One chapter of his life ends for good, a new life awaits him.

And during this important character-scene, with the actor portraying Michael Cohen giving it all, the Republicans yell:

"LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!"

"WHAT ABOUT THE BOOK-DEAL?"

"UNTIL YESTERDAY, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE!"

It's a shock.

It kills the scene.

The viewers look at each other, confused how the writers could ruin such an important moment with such childish dribble.

And then they remember.

It's historically correct.

This is how Republicans actually behave.

Asshole: "Shouldn't you have turned them over to the F.B.I.?"

Cohen: "The F.B.I. gave them back to me."

Yes, the book deal.. I think his book and subsequent movie will help him recoup the money he has lost. Also all the TV talking head MSM programs that are gonna want him to appear ah la Comey and McCabe..
Now who will play Cohen??? Can Mathew McConaughey do a brooklyn NY accent?
