Wasserman-Shultz was just on MSNBC talking about wanting more hearings to question Ivanka and Don Jr. That fucking family. They could have all just lived out their lives all rich and famous and stuff but nope, they wanted it all.

Are you skeptical that Team Trump Treason smacked Melania around in an elevator? Are you skeptical now that a PTape exists? Are you skeptical that Cohen saw no collusion or had direct knowledge of Team Trump Treason coordinating with Putin on the ritz? Are you skeptical that Cohen has never been to Prague?PJPOWER said:
But I wonder...could reputation also be a motive for lying? If you want to trust Cohen, that is your prerogative, but I remain skeptical of anything that comes out of his mouth, just like with Trump.mrussel1 said:
Sure are, but in my example, Dean came out with his reputation improved, unlike Nixon.PJPOWER said:
In that respect, there is a long history of trials being overturned due to false witness testimony as well.mrussel1 said:
No, but there's a long history of relying on witnesses with credibility issues both in judicial and congressional proceedings. Hell, the "beginning of the end" for Nixon was when John Dean testified. And he went straight to jail after that. And he was an attorney.PJPOWER said:
That doesn’t even make sense...does every witness lack credibility due them being found guilty of lying under oath in the past?PJ_Soul said:
Wow, well then I think you need to start a petition against all witness testimony and all convictions ever connected to witness testimony in the history of the United States.PJPOWER said:
No, it does not. Thanks for playing though. Trump could very well be guilty of all of the things alleged, but that doesn’t discount that people are innocent until PROVEN guilty. Cohen’s testimony is not proof. He has zero credibility.PJ_Soul said:
If you don't believe Cohen, doesn't that necessarily mean you believe Trump over Cohen??PJPOWER said:
Where did I say I believed Trump over Cohen, stop making shit up for the love of God! Essentially, I’m saying that I want the truth to come out, but Cohen lacks the credibility to do so due to his past crimes. He is a shitty witness based on his track record. If Trump gets up and lies under oath in front of congress on numerous occasions, would you choose him as an credible expert witness in any form or fashion? You don’t have to believe everything Trump says to be skeptical of a known liar’s statements. Again, how are you 100% certain Cohen has no reason to lie...it is politics after all.PJ_Soul said:
Trump has also done it over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Far more often than Cohen. So why would you be inclined to believe Trump over Cohen, especially when Cohen no longer has any motivation at all and Trump has the most powerful motivation one can imagine? That makes no sense.PJPOWER said:
Other than more material for the numerous book and tv deals he has received...and who knows what else is being held over his head that was never made public. Wasn’t there just a case of a movie star lying about getting beaten against his own self interest? Who knows why people lie, but Cohen has done it over and over under oath in the past...that is not speculation. You are willing to disregard that because you are biased and want it to all bring Trump down...that is speculative though.PJ_Soul said:
I think people are inclined to believe at this point because, as others have pointed out, he no longer has any motivation whatsoever to lie during this testimony. At all. What is really funny is that those inclined not to believe him think it's more likely he's lying than telling the truth, because seriously, that just doesn't make any sense at all. But in any case, surely Cohen has yet more damning hard evidence against Trump? Remember he already handed over the tape where Trump is literally discussing paying off the porn star (it seems to me that many have decided to pretend that proof doesn't exist).PJPOWER said:
I think they are all just liars trying to save face...as well as Trump and most other politicians.

What is funny is people believing Cohen’s every word as long as it fits their rhetoric...but then make excuses when he says he knows nothing about a Ptape, lol.

I personally think Cohen's relationship with lies has changed. While they used to be an avenue to enrichment before, now it's only an avenue to extend his stay in the new digs.PJPOWER said:

As for your last sentence - Does anyone familiar with the law know - would circumstantial evidence like the cheques hold up in court? Yes, it's extremely freaking clear that those payments were illegal, but if it's only definitive physical evidence which is used for verdicts, I find it unlikely that Trump will be charged with anything because extremely freaking clear isn't certain, and I think Trump's a guy who knows how to surround himself with people who know how to cover his ass.'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2

Circumstantial evidence is used all the time, and the burden of proof is never absolute certainty. In a typical criminal case, the burden of proof used is beyond a reasonable doubt, which is estimated to be roughly 95-98% certainty.benjs said:

For a civil case, the standard is preponderance of evidence, but I assume we’re talking about criminal matters.

Team Trump Treason just keeps making all these promises and threats and stuff and all he’s doing is bull shitting and not getting anywhere. China trade, the wall, de-nuclearization of NK. So much winning. Can’t wait for the oversight committee to compare his tax returns to his loan applications. No fraud there, right?

Where did I say I believed Trump over Cohen, stop making shit up for the love of God! Essentially, I’m saying that I want the truth to come out, but Cohen lacks the credibility to do so due to his past crimes. He is a shitty witness based on his track record. If Trump gets up and lies under oath in front of congress on numerous occasions, would you choose him as an credible expert witness in any form or fashion? You don’t have to believe everything Trump says to be skeptical of a known liar’s statements. Again, how are you 100% certain Cohen has no reason to lie...it is politics after all.PJ_Soul said:
Trump has also done it over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Far more often than Cohen.

That makes no sense.PJPOWER said:
Other than more material for the numerous book and tv deals he has received...and who knows what else is being held over his head that was never made public.

I think people are inclined to believe at this point because, as others have pointed out, he no longer has any motivation whatsoever to lie during this testimony. At all. What is really funny is that those inclined not to believe him think it's more likely he's lying than telling the truth, because seriously, that just doesn't make any sense at all. But in any case, surely Cohen has yet more damning hard evidence against Trump?

you do realize that Mueller and the NY Attorney's offices will have access to many more records including phone records. between the hush payments and talks with Stone. They will have records of Cohen talking with Stormy's lawyers. they will have records of the supposed phone call from Roger Stone to Trump that Cohen mentioned. Those teams will have access to much more corroborating evidence. it won't just be Cohen's word. so yes Cohen being a bit of wild card isn't great for the case but there will be so much more.benjs said:

As for your last sentence - Does anyone familiar with the law know - would circumstantial evidence like the cheques hold up in court? Yes, it's extremely freaking clear that those payments were illegal, but if it's only definitive physical evidence which is used for verdicts, I find it unlikely that Trump will be charged with anything because extremely freaking clear isn't certain, and I think Trump's a guy who knows how to surround himself with people who know how to cover his ass.

I feel like @Jason P should be providing commentary on CNCrap, MSNBMoreCrap, FoxBiggestCrap, or at the very least, local access channel coverage of this type of stuff.What an absolute disgrace for this country and our leadership. I remember wondering how something like this could ever happen when Slick Willie was working so hard to make the POTUS look like a total moron. Orangey has shown us what the reality is these days but going 100x on Slick Willie.Very sad.The love he receives is the love that is saved0

I think it’s quite possible that Team Trump Treason smacked Melania around in an elevator and that there’s a PTape, his personality and how he conducts himself lends credence to the allegations. Cohen’s not knowing or truthfulness about those episodes don’t bear weight. So you do believe its possible that Team Trump Treason smacked Melania around, right?
