No Cover-Up for Michael Cohen

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough recently made some comments that would leave many people scratching their heads and wondering whether he had watched the same Michael Cohen hearing that the rest of the country recently watched.

According to Scarborough, "The Republican members of the House Oversight Committee in plain sight exposed themselves as a political party whose goal and whose purpose and whose central organized principle is to cover up for the illegal and immoral misdeeds of Donald J. Trump." With all due respect to Scarborough, this conclusion simply defies logic and ignores the fact that Mr. Cohen previously pled guilty to lying, has questionable credibility and is about to serve time in prison.

More particularly, Scarborough appears to be saying that the fact that Republican members of the House attacked Michael Cohen's credibility means that they are covering up for President Trump.

Second, Scarborough's argument assumes that Michael Cohen was telling the truth when he testified at the hearing.

The same person whom the Boston Herald called a "Liar, fraudster and convicted criminal." This is also the same Michael Cohen who allegedly perjured himself at the very hearing that Scarborough referenced when attacking members of the committee and/or the GOP. It is the same Michael Cohen who was recently referred to the Justice Department based on allegations that he perjured himself during the recent hearing.

According to Breitbart, Cohen stated, "I spoke to Mr. Schiff about topics that were going to be raised at the upcoming hearing." In other words, Cohen, who was scheduled to testify before the committee, met with some of the same people who would subsequently question him under oath about the topics they were going to discuss.

The public hearing involving Michael Cohen was a sad day for America and showed how far House Democrats will go to try to remove Trump from office.
