How are so many of the Freedom Caucus members on this committee?

Because the Rs knew this was coming and stacked the committee

I don't think that the guy from TN (or any of them) quite gets that when he is painting Cohen as the worst, most untrustworthy person ever on the planet--he's saying, yes, OUR PRESIDENT, chose this guy as his person attorney.

so Cohen was a liar, criminal, and all-around terrible guy and...the president was too dumb to realize it? Or he knew and didn't care? Is either one okay???

[Pom]

LMAO. The GOP is offended that the witness is a liar and a cheat. But Trump hired him to be his lawyer, not the Dems' choice.

[bowies]

What is Meadows trying to do?

[MrsAxilla]

Cohen is wearing a red string as a bracelet, which wards off the devil in Jewish mystism - lol.

RIGHT?!? That he (45) partnered up with this horrendous, despicable human being, Cohen, as his fixer for over a decade! It’s so completely degrading to the leader of their party, it’s almost embarrassing...

[heyjude]

This is the same line of BS questioning they subjected Christine Balsey Ford to. “The D are paying you to be here? You worked with the Ds!”

[rondonalddo]

Like...of course his people talked to the chair. They would have to in order to coordinate and agree on his appearance.

[ESF]

The GOP is just trying to put out fodder for conspiracy theories and misinformation. That's their goal.

I just got back from CrossFit and am covered in sweat. I’m going to have to watch this testimony like this and also rescheduling 9 am call, aren’t I?

Wait you crossfit and this is the first we have heard about it... and not all your posts are about it?!?!? You are like a cross-fit unicorn that I did not know existed. My cross-fit friends and family members only talk about crossfit and somehow work it into every conversation.

[bowies]

Cohen walked into that one. Lynch on cleanup.

[BicycleBride]

Did Cohen just thank him for congratulating him on being the first person invited back after lying to Congress? Lol.

[smock]

Rep. Lynch listing all the Trump employees convicted of felonies. Yep.

LOL @ the GOP “I have a black friend”ing this.

@popehat

GOP Defense Lawyer: Sir, you claim the President is a RACIST. But isn't it true that this person standing behind me is BLACK?

[miniroller]

Oh Thank YOU, Mr. Lynch(D), Mass, for saving us for a second to remind us of ALL the MULTIPLE guilty pleas that have so far come from this corrupt administration “& for two years, ya wanna talk about an AGENDA?! My friends on the other side of the aisle refused to bring ANY of these ppl before the committee!
So today, for the first day, we have one witness who, voluntarily, is coming forward to testify. Your side ran away from the truth & we’re trying to bring it to the American ppl!”
YES!🙌

My friend said Elliot Abrams just did, not like 2 weeks ago?  mbcdefg - reminds me of the job description for Mr. Burn's assistant "lying to congress...and some light typing"

The woman sitting in front of Jordan rolling her eyes is my freaking hero right now 😂

[bowies]

Jordan WTF

[bowies]

Cohen is growing on me.

[heyjude]

Wow you can tell the GOP is SCARED. They sound like desperate caged tigers.

[formerlyak]

This Gosar character is an a-hole.

I appreciate the snark he’s throwing back at them.

[riverrider]

OMG. "Liar, liar pants on fire." I can't believe that was just said.

His mother taught him that "old adage"? Lol! What a tool!

[smock]

Cohen points to Helsinki and Charlottesville as reasons for coming clean.

[heyjude]

“The more people who follow Trump blindly will end up just like me.”

Powerful.

[heat40]

Cohen is doing a good job by coming back at them, and throwing them off their questioning. But I’m scared he’s going to blow up.

[sonrisa]

"No. He would use others."

I think he finally realized how fucked he was once he realized that he was going to jail and that Trump gave no shits about him and there was no way to save himself, so he really has nothing left to lose...except for his family.  I think he was really knocked down a peg and is at the fuck it point.
