President Trump responds to 'fake hearing' with Michael Cohen
Trump says he was 'impressed' that his former attorney Michael Cohen didn't lie about collusion with Russia during his testimony on Capitol Hill.
Congress and the corrupt Washington Establishment set a new low for abuse of power Wednesday with the testimony of Michael Cohen before the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
As President Trump’s former personal lawyer, Cohen can't ethically testify to Congress about his interactions with Trump. Cohen knows this, Congress knows this. Special Counsel Robert Mueller knows this.
That the committee hearing took place anyway shows the lawless depth to the partisan Deep State abuse targeting President Trump.
DAVID BOSSIE: MICHAEL COHEN SPENDS A DAY LYING ABOUT TRUMP TO AID DEMOCRATIC WITCH HUNT
Shameful.
Cohen’s testimony is not credible. He has a demonstrated record of not only lying to Congress, but of violating his ethical duties as a lawyer.
Cohen’s testimony did more than abuse Trump’s rights. Congress benefitted from this abuse and arguably obtained confidential documents belonging to President Trump in violation of its own rules, the president’s rights and the law.
Cohen’s testimony is not credible. He has a demonstrated record of not only lying to Congress, but of violating his ethical duties as a lawyer.
Sure enough, the Democratic-controlled hearing was set up through Clinton, Inc., consigliore Lanny Davis, who is representing Cohen for free.
Judicial Watch uncovered Hillary Clinton emails showing Davis to be her biggest fan.
For example, on October 20, 2010, lawyer Davis wrote Hillary Clinton an email saying: “Thank you H for who you are and what you do,” followed in the exchange by another with “PS. I swear you look younger and better every time I see you, Good night dear Hillary. Lanny.”
So as we witness Cohen – with encouragement from Democrats – trampling over the rights of President Trump, remember this abuse would never have happened without the involvement of Team Clinton.
The Clinton team and Democratic National Committee directly colluded with the Obama Justice Department and FBI to target Donald Trump during the presidential campaign.
This led to illicit spying on Trump and his team, an attempted coup by pro-Clinton Deep Staters, and the related appointment of a special counsel to try the further the aim of overthrowing President Trump.
And now the coup effort continues through hearings featuring Cohen this week set up in collusion with Hillary Clinton’s closest associates.
Why would Democrats, who cheered for Cohen to be indicted just a few months ago, now give him a platform to speak to the nation?
The answer is simple: They’re still not over Hillary Clinton losing the 2016 election to Donald Trump.

Michael Cohen is a criminal and Michael Cohen is a political prop. Michael Cohen is the furthest thing from a victim.
At the hearing Wednesday we witnessed history. Unfortunately for the reputation of the House, it is the type of history that will live in infamy.
NOTE: Judicial Watch has a federal Freedom of Information Act lawsuit pending for Michael Cohen’s alleged influence peddling and fraud related to Cohen’s attempts to cash in on his relationship with President Trump.
