Mr. Cohen is expected to recount racist remarks Mr. Trump allegedly made to him, including instances in which Mr. Trump allegedly questioned the intelligence of African-Americans and criticized their lifestyle choices, the person said.



First off, Cohen is a known liar.
Second, what does this have to do with Russian collusion?

To be honest, I think alot of people question their lifestyle choices. What makes Trump different? He's not allowed?

If the money came via the Trump Organization and Cohen was repaid via a Trump Organization check, this ends up being something akin to the John Edwards / Rielle Hunter thing...Edwards was found not guilty because he/surrogate was not using campaign funds

Do you think Obama broke the Law while in office?

Do you think Hillary broke the Law while in office?

Do you think Pelosi has broken the Law while in office?

But NOW we should all believe whatever he says?


thus my comment that he is not the best witness.

Bad witnesses can become good witnesses if they have external verification of their story. Its implied that Cohen is bringing that, but who knows if it is true or not. Or what he brings.

Should be fun to watch.

Article updated

quote:

In his testimony Wednesday, Mr. Cohen will provide documentation of his reimbursement for the $130,000 Clifford payment, which he received in monthly installments of $35,000 throughout 2017, the person familiar with his testimony said. Mr. Cohen intends to show the panel a signed check, the person said.

Mr. Trump signed some of the checks reimbursing Mr. Cohen, which Mr. Cohen began receiving after Mr. Trump took office, according to another person familiar with the payments.

The payments to Mr. Cohen were characterized by Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg as legal fees, but federal prosecutors have said the monthly invoices weren’t in connection with any legal services Mr. Cohen provided at that time.

After the 2016 election, Mr. Weisselberg authorized a payment of double what Mr. Cohen had paid Ms. Clifford to cover related income taxes, as well as adding a $60,000 bonus, the Journal has previously reported.

In the wake of the Journal’s revelations, federal prosecutors investigated Mr. Cohen’s activities, raided his home, hotel room and office, and began probing the business practices of the Trump Organization, including whether it committed campaign-finance violations. The Trump Organization investigation, spearheaded by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, is continuing, people familiar with the matter said.

You think that is big news?

So the big bombshell is that Trump reimbursed Cohen. Got it.

He testified to Senate intel today so it probably didn’t come up. Campaign finance comes tomorrow before House oversight.

Wasn't Cohen's role in this matter to negotiate a legally binding NDA w Shittles McSlutty's attorney? Sounds pretty legal. At least as much as Hillary's retention of Perkin's Coie for the Steele Dossier and disclosed on FEC filings as "legal services."

Sort of. The Trump Organization reimbursed him in the form of bogus legal fees.

Not only did he lie to Congress and commit tax fraud, he lied to the Fed's after his arranged plea deal.

I'm sure the Dimocrats are enraptured by every lie Cohen lays on them.

Ah, I see you edited to add the word "bogus" legal fees. Subtle
