I've been watching some of Michael Cohen's testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

It's clearly presented as scripted political theatre by the Dems. The fact is Cohen is a convicted felon. He is an admitted liar who has perjured himself in previous appearances before Congress. He has lied repeatedly on oath bound testimony and documents for private advantage and for political agency.

He is a disgraced and disbarred lawyer who is on the verge of starting a 3 year sentence in a federal prison. He is a terminated employee who is embittered at not being offered a significant post in the Trump Administration (as Lance Priebus has stated) . He is using this to vent his rage by casting aside anmy fiduciary responsibility of keep client/attorney conversations as privileged and confidential. He is now cooperating with various elements of the Trump witch hunt in the hopes of reducing his sentence.

Honestly.. what part of this testimony can you trust.

You never want to miss a chance to get a little drama happening! Different people, different times and different situation entirely. Similarities are important but differences are more important...…………...once you recognize that they are! :) :)

Honestly, I don't know CS........but all the documents and checks he is producing might serve to back up some of what he says. One thing is for sure, the Reps on the committee are in full-on attack mode.

No amount of evidence will ever let you see past your infatuation with Trump. He is and his party is a bunch of fascists. There is no difference between the kids in prison camps. And the kids in Trump's camps are being sexually abused.

A migrant caravan full of women and children led by a convicted child rapist?

DHS Secretary Reveals Truth About ‘Women and Children’ in Caravans

However, at this point we have confirmed that there are over 600 convicted criminals traveling with the caravan flow. This includes individuals known to law enforcement for assault, battery, drug crimes, burglary, rape, child abuse and more. This is serious. Additionally, Mexico has already arrested 100 caravan members for criminal violations in Mexico.

The women who know they're going to be raped: Female illegal immigrants taking birth control before they try to cross US border

About 60 per cent of all illegal female immigrants are estimated to face some kind of sexual violence
The assaults usually go unreported over fears of deportation and reprisals against family
They happen on both sides of the border and have even been at the hands of at least one U.S. Border Patrol agent

Women crossing the U.S. border face sexual assault with little protection

ALTAR, Sonora, Mexico – The Santa Maria pharmacy in the northern Mexico smuggling town of Altar is often a last stop for migrants before they embark on the dangerous trek across the Sonoran desert into Arizona.
Here they buy caffeine pills, electrolyte packets and other supplies they will need for the trip. And pharmacist Maria Jaime Peña said women often come in with a common question.
“What can I do in case I’m raped, and I don’t want to get pregnant?,” Peña repeated in Spanish from behind the counter. “What can I use?”
Peña recommends an injection for 48 pesos, or less than $4, that protects women from pregnancy for a month. In Mexico, women can buy these products without a prescription.
Peña said sometimes it is the guides — also called coyotes — who advise their female clients to go on birth control. That was the case for Maria Salinas, a petite 43-year-old who recently tried crossing with her 18-year-old daughter.
Salinas said at first she was confused when a guide at the start of the trip offered her and other women pills he said would prevent pregnancy. Later, it made more sense.
Once Salinas started walking with the group, she couldn’t keep up. One coyote said he’d help – on one condition.
“If I gave him my daughter, then he’d wait for me,” Salinas said. Meaning, if she let him have sex with her daughter. She refused, and he abandoned them. They only survived because they found Border Patrol.

Sexual assault of migrants from Latin America to the United States

Cases of abuses are rarely reported or prosecuted, and data about these crimes is difficult to acquire or assess.[1]
People who do not have legal permission to migrate from or through Mexico do not typically have effective access to the same criminal justice system as legal migrants.[3][1] In addition to the stigma attached to sexual assaults for anyone, they are unlikely to be willing to take actions which they believe may result in being unable to cross the border or remain across the border.[1][5] Because many of the offenses involve people in power or connected to organized crime, many women also fear retaliation for speaking up.[8]
The newspaper La Jornada surveyed women attempting to migrate while they were in Mexican border cities. 30% said coyotes forced them to have sex as payment.[13]
The United Nations estimated that among women crossing without husbands or families, as many as 70% were victims of some form of abuse.[5]
At the time of the Amnesty International report, the non-profit estimated "as many as six in 10 women and girl migrants experience sexual violence during the journey."[1] It cites a 2006 study of already-detained migrant women in which 23 of 90 reported experiencing violence, with 13 saying the perpetrator was a state official.[1] The researchers involved believed actual numbers were likely higher.[1]
According to a report by Splinter News, as many as 80% of women and girls coming to the United States from Central America are sexually assaulted.[3]
Michelle Brané of the Women's Refugee Commission told Tucson Weekly that "nonprofit groups and even the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement ... estimate that the vast majority of women and female children encounter some sort of sexual assault en route to the United States," and that "it's become the norm, and in many cases with female children, they just assume that there's been some sort of incident."[5]

So who is Phucking clueless Cliffy?
