I went with option 2, hurt him but not enough to impeach.
If Cohen has evidence to back up his testimony, it will make Trump look like a crap human being. But still probably won't be enough for a GOP-controlled Senate to actually impeach.
Should give dems a huge boost in 2020 though, if Cohen does indeed have evidence that Trump committed financial crimes during the '16 campaign AND while in the White House. That would be really bad.
The Senate doesn't impeach, the Senate tries and the POTUS is removed from office if convicted.
The House impeaches. The Senate conducts a trial that is nominally referred to as an impeachment trial, but the Senate removes from office.
Both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached, but neither was removed from office (both were acquitted via vote in their Senate trials).
Not being removed from office via the results of the trial didn't make Johnson nor Clinton any 'less impeached'.
Looks like the only person going down is Cohen himself. All his testimony has no effect on Trump. Too bad he has absolutely no credibility and the only collusion is with him and the Ds and the fraud that HE has commited.
Lol... What is the weather like in your alternative reality?
I think this is an effort by the dems to smear and delegitimize our president ....
Our President besmeared and delegitimized himself the day he threw his country under the bus in Helsinki and said he trusted Putin more than his own government.
I think this is an effort by the dems to smear and delegitimize our president on the very day he is engaging in sensitive negotiations with North Korea, which is a slight against our entire nation. Attempting to damage Trump is more important to them than our efforts to bring peace to the Korean Peninsula. Do you agree?
I realize we already have a thread about the Cohen testimony and one about Trump's negotiations with NK. This thread is specifically about the dems timing of the public testimony for the same day as Trump's meeting with Kim Jong-un.
Well the media coverage of both events will tell us where their priorities are.
If you look at some of the pictures where they are watching election returns on election night, once he realized he was going to win, Trump had a sort of 'deer in headlights' look on his face....and I noticed that at that time.
I don't think Trump wanted to win, not ever thought he would win.
I've stated for a long time that I think there are three primary (or at least 'rise a little bit above the others') reasons that Trump ran (in no particular order):
1. To 'push Obama's buttons' at least a little bit for making fun of him at the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner.
2. To build his brand.
3. To be able to whine that 'the system is rigged' until taking his last breath.
Woooow! "I did for 10 years what you're doing right now."
*BURN*
massive burn! and so very true, many of those repubs lying for Trump today will find themselves in serious trouble if Trump goes down....no wonder they keep attacking anyone who speaks out against Trump.
Cohen keeps driving home that Trump ran everything, including that Trump was running his business affairs even after declaring he had separated himself from his businesses and had been swore in...
And JUST THAT, would have been more than enough to impeach Obama, Bush, Clinton , Bush ,Reagan, Carter, Ford...
Cohn hasn't said anything that the LA Times hasn't said over and over and over.
Cohen, not Cohn.
Roy Cohn was another Lawyer who worked for Trump (and many say greatly influenced how Trump interacts with the public), who Trump also 'didn't ultimately stand up for'.
Cohn died of AIDS related complications many years ago.
