First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

This dude appears to believe it is unprecedented to call a hearing while the president is abroad. (Trying to make the world a safer place, no less.)
 
This Clay Higgins mouthbreather seems so dumb, I had to look him up:

He first used standard scripts, but began to improvise in his own style, appealing to suspects to surrender and sometimes threatening them by name.[10] His videos went viral, and he was referred to by national media in 2015 as the "Cajun John Wayne" for his intimidating persona.[3] Sheriff Bobby Guidroz urged restraint, advising Higgins to refrain from personal comments about suspects and to keep a professional tone in his videos.[11]

Higgins also made a video for the state police, with a script that prompted protests from suspects' families and the ACLU. He resigned from the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office in February 2016.[12][13] Sheriff Bobby Guidroz had warned him against using disrespectful and demeaning language about suspects. The Sheriff had ordered him to "Tone down his unprofessional comments on our weekly Crime Stoppers messages".[14] He issued a statement saying that Higgins's comments underlined "a growing undertone of insubordination and lack of discipline on Higgins’ part".[15] Guidroz said that Higgins had gone against department policy by misusing his official badge and uniform for personal profit and gain, citing Higgins's wearing a uniform in an ad for a security firm. In addition, he reprimanded Higgins for using his badge and uniform in his personal website to support sales of T-shirts and shot glasses for his Limited Liability Corporation (LLC). In addition, Higgins used the department’s physical address in registering his LLC with the state, and both actions were against department policy.[11]

Salon reported in an investigative article that during this period, Higgins "negotiated paid speaking appearances with other police departments. In one email, Higgins discussed his request for a speaker’s fee that included shopping money for his wife and part of the fuel for his friend’s private plane."[16] He asked for cash payments. In addition, Higgins conducted his private business via email on "his government email account during work hours without the permission or knowledge of his supervisors. Higgins also appears to have attempted to conceal his earnings from the IRS in order to avoid wage garnishment for unpaid taxes. Whether those actions constitute tax fraud is unclear."[16]
 
Cohen has appeared very prepared. He has all of his stories straight, and seems to know exactly what information he wants out there and what information he doesn't (for better or worse). He isn't just unabashedly trashing Trump. He has said things that are complimentary and refrained from potshots. It almost entirely discredits this Republican attack that he is some bitter/jaded former employee.

Meadows got schooled badly as did most other Pubs.

I find it hard to believe any of these Pubs went to college. They act like 3 year olds when they don't get their way and as was mentioned earlier, most can't even form a regular sentence.

It’s a homogeneous party with an even more homogeneous leadership. That situation breeds mediocrity.
 
These republicans are a disgrace. They are acting like13 year old girls. Fucking ridiculous.
 
I really don't get why Republicans keep harping on these book deals. That is so bizarre to me.

"Sir, do you want money? DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO GIVE YOU MONEY!?!?!"

"Yes"

"JUST DESPICABLE!!!"

Cohen has to be looking forward to prison at this point so he can get to work on that book.
 
This is basically a game of Hypocrisy Bingo. Just pick a Trump transgression and there's some GOP'er feigning outrage at Cohen about it. Greed? Check. Racism? Check. Religion? Check. Lying? Check ad nauseam. Wasting taxpayer money? Maybe the highest on the hypocrisy meter.

It's pretty amazing. The whole "I did what you're doing now" was probably the best part of this...
 
It is simply impossible for me to imagine Trump sitting through a hearing like this, or like the one held for Hillary.

If that's the route you're going to go down, don't you need to build some sort of line of evidence that what is being said in the book is not true? They just keep asking him if he plans on signing another book deal.

It’s kind of like how they get mad about Democrats getting paid to make speeches.
 
Finally a reasonable line of questioning from a Republican. Going after Cohen for saying he would just hand over recordings of other clients.
 
This Kelly guy is mad Cohen said he’d turn over tapes that are already in the hands on law enforcement.
 
Or maybe not haha He sure sounded convinced.

And now Kelly wants to talk about things that are unethical but not illegal...whooooo buddy.
