The Cohen hearing got off to a rocky start with Rep. Mark Meadows trying to delay (see below) because evidence came in after the 24-hour rule that requires it to be in before the hearing.
This dog and pony show by Democrats will only backfire because people will see that Congress called a proven liar to testify for political reasons. Their goal is to try and damage President Trump.
Rep. Elijah Cummings delivered a biased opening statement saying,‘Ladies and gentlemen, the days of this committee protecting the President at all costs are over.’ President Trump hasn’t been protected in any way, shape or form! He’s been targeted since he announced he was running!
Jim Jordan calls today’s hearing “The Michael Cohen hearing presented by Lanny Davis.”
“That’s right, Lanny Davis choreographed the whole darn the Clinton’s best friend.”

Rep. Jim Jordan is one of the few straight shooters in Congress so it’s no surprise that he went scorched earth on Cohen and Lanny Davis.
