Im sure you were trying to communicate something there.

In the end Michael Cohen may spend more time in prison, get sued for violation of privacy laws for client/lawyer and most likely never be allowed to practice law.
LOL. Doubtful he will spend more time. And sued for what "privacy laws" specifically? Near as I can tell he will testify about criminal activities-for which there is ZERO privacy laws, about calling minorities horrible things-something NOT related to any attorney client privilege-especially if other parties were present, etc etc.


And the loss of his law license happened the moment he committed crimes for Trump and for himself. Has nothing to do with the testimony.

In the end the BIGGEST LOSER is Michael Cohen. Not sure if his ego will survive prison time. He will be the joke of NY!
LOL. Or the hero. Reality is Cohen lied for Trump. I wouldn't be so cheering on of his downfall for supporting Trump. Because thats the future for everyone who supported him.

I can't really vote on this, because for me, it depends on 1.) What does Cohen have to say, and 2.) Can Cohen (or Mueller) back it up with proof?

As for impeachment if it does turn out Trump's been committing crimes while running for office/in office....I dunno. The GOP's been put in some awkward spots because of Trump lately--the latest being the whole "National Emergency" (which several of them are publicly breaking with him on). Ironclad proof of criminal activities while running for POTUS/as POTUS may be the straw that breaks the camel's back--and at least then, they could be justified in telling their constituents, "Hey, it was clear he broke the law. We can't ignore that." (Or they could ignore it. Who knows with these guys anymore?)

So I'm taking a 'wait and see' attitude on it.

Oh hell no. Trump was right when he said that he could shoot someone on 5th avenue. Republicans will stand behind him no matter WHAT cuz they are terrified he will tweet mean things about them.

Unfortunately, even if there was proof that Trump broke the law his supporters wouldn't care. And yes, they very well could and probably would ignore it.

The President is many times better at doing his job than you are on assessing the job he is doing. Trump has trumped all the America-haters

You do realize when he lied before he was sticking up for Trump?

Testimony alone will never be sufficient enough evidence to impeach anyone much less the president of the USA. Let's not even talk about the testimony from a sleazy professional liar that is known to be Cohen. It's just going to be good TV, and make the cable news networks some money, so be sure to watch.
