Ten most jaw dropping statements from Cohen's leaked testimony today....

My Socialist, Communist, Fascist, Stalinist Progressive USMB friends, if you believe Cohens testimony will get Trump impeached, please put suiside prevention on speed dial
Impeachment is not a legal process. It is a political process and normal rules of criminal court do not apply. This why when you will see a bill of impeachment it will contain both violations of federal statues and ethical violations which are often more important than legal ones.

In the Clinton's bill impeachment he is accused of bad behavior, distrust,
bringing about disrepute on the Presidency, etc. The only actual crime stated was lying to congress.

The thinking that impeachment is a legal process is due to the term "high crimes and misdemeanors in the constitution. The meaning of that term is not what you think. It covers allegations of misconduct by officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, unbecoming conduct, refusal to obey a lawful order, chronic intoxication, and tax evasion. Technically, Trump could be impeached without a single violation of federal law being listed although that is unlikely.

Impeachment clause in the U.S. Constitution empowers the House of Representatives to remove the President, Vice-President or other civil officers of the U.S. from their office for committing offences like treason, bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Not unethical deeds.
 
The 10 Most Jaw-Dropping Lines From Michael Cohen's Leaked Testimony | HuffPost

This will not change the opinion of mindless trumpettes....They will just look past the truth and continue to hump their Great Leader's leg....

All the while he gives a brutal murderer the advantage of acting like a leader on the world stage....I hear Kim will dedicate his next flame thrower execution to trump.....


Funny how Lanny Davis set this all up to happen on the same day that Trump was meeting a foreign leader.
Shame on the Democrats for trying their best to divide America. All the world is a stage isnt it?

Trump is a flawed individual but his wrongs happened before he became pres. Not while he was in office. Meanwhile you have Democrat lawmakers who coerce this Lawyer to slander Trump by using the leverage of prosecution/ reduced sentence... or who knows what. Cohen testified he met with Key Democrats before this deposition... would have been great to be a fly on that wall. You damn well know they wanted him to hurt Trump, thus his "RACIST, CON MAN, CHEAT comment. MY how the worm turns when your under pressure ... this is the same Cohen who said he would take a bullet for Trump. SO was he lying then? or lying now?

This is where it all goes when they have absolutely nothing on Russian Collusion. If the Russian dossier got something so wrong as Cohen being in Prague to meet with Russian operatives, how could any of the rest be believed by DEmocrat lawmakers. But you know damn well they still believe Trump hired hookers to piss on Obamas bed... what other reason would explain their insanity to border on a presidential coup based on inuendo and circuitous reporting?

This is a new low for the low.

Did Cohen accuse Trump of treason? bribery? High Crimes and Misdemeaners?
 
Heard Pelosi is not going for impeachment. She was listening with baited breath but didn't hear a reason for impeachment.

No, it was a smear job. I wonder if he gets as much as Christine Blasey Ford got for smearing Brett Kavanaugh with a passel of lies? She got a million bucks out of the deal.
 
I have to be honest. I thought a long time today, "What would I do if I was COHEN?" Would I do what he did or refuse to incriminate anyone of anything.

I think I would have kept my mouth shut.
 
Is paying back a loan is a felony?
Taking a loan at all for the alleged purpose and without booking it (as shown in the Cohen criminal case, so is granting that loan) is a felony, and paying it back is part of the commission of that felony.
 
What felonies while he was in office?
Paying back the loan in August, 2017. That would be a felony, if true. While in office. You have heard/read that, right?
I heard Pelosi has decided not to impeach. That means nothing new was found. I listened to some of his testimony at youtube. Every bit of it was rehashed and old news, and that he hoped Trump would get in trouble over the derisory claims he made today.
 
He would not have been subpoenaed unless he was ready to spill the beans on tv.
No, that's the opposite of what a subpoena is. A subpoena forces you to testify, no matter what you had for breakfast. When you are subpoenaed, you are not first consulted about 'whether or not you are cool with it'. The fact that you aren't is literally the entire point of a subpoena.
