OK, then if President Trump has lied over *,000 to us, documented by TV videos and his own tweets, should we believe anything President Trump says?! Is the only difference being that Trump has not yet been convicted in a court of law for his crimes?
"Key Takeaways
- With his long record of lying again and again, why should anyone believe a word Cohen says regarding Trump or anything else?
- In deciding if Cohen is telling the truth now, it’s impossible to ignore his failure to tell the truth in the past.
- They’re interested in using Michael Cohen to make accusations of wrongdoing against President Trump."
My Key Takeaway is that there is likely as much truth as lie in Cohen's testimony, and that makes Trump a criminal, at best.
"Cohen has zero credibility. Anything he says – under oath or in casual conversation – should be treated with extreme skepticism, at best."
I sense you are supporting President Trump, Mr. von Spakovsky. Am I right?
This piece originally appeared in Fox News" Yep, I think I am right.
"Yes, Michael Cohen’s a liar and a criminal. So how come you believed him?"
Choirboys don’t end up as cooperating witnesses. But people who do can appear credible.
