I'm not a huge fan of Chris Cuomo's snarkiness, but I thought this was some good analysis...

That is a petty issue to even bring up. Republicans need to stop that shizz and simply repeat Cohens own testimony that there was no collusion.

Petty, sure but I think it's smart to bring up every single item that shows he is a liar and has no credibility

According to the Daily Mail, Cohen’s book would have touted Trump, countering descriptions of his then-boss as "crazy," "dumb," "paranoid" and hateful toward the media.

The pitch reportedly said: "All of these things have been said about my longtime boss, Donald J. Trump. None of it is true. Except maybe that last one – about the media. Trump does believe that reporters are out to get him, and for a very good reason. Many of them are."

Lynne Patton, Trump official at Cohen hearing, claimed he only ‘turned’ when Mueller threatened wife

Michael Cohen testified this week that he turned against President Trump over issues ranging from his conduct during the Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin to his controversial remarks about the Charlottesville violence in 2017.

But a key Trump administration official, who inadvertently played a central role in Wednesday’s House hearing, has claimed there is another reason for Cohen’s betrayal—that his wife was being threatened with jail time unless he “turned on” Trump.

The assertion was made in a Facebook entry by Department of Housing and Urban Development official Lynne Patton in January. The post has taken on new relevance given Cohen’s testimony Wednesday.

“What many of you may not be aware of is the fact that I can personally confirm that the ONLY reason Michael Cohen ‘turned on’ the President of the United States is because Mueller threatened to throw his wife in jail for up to 30 years. Period,” Patton posted on Jan. 18.

“She is the co-guarantor of a $20M personal loan that Mueller discovered Michael secured back in 2015 by falsely inflating the value of his taxi medallions—effectively making her part & parcel to the federal charge of ‘Making False Statements to a Financial Institution,’ to which Cohen ultimately plead guilty,” she continued, adding that was also the reason a “longtime taxi medallion partner” was granted immunity.



Patton, who goes back with Cohen and said she considered him "one of my very best friends," is not the first to suggest Cohen’s wife was at legal risk. The Wall Street Journal reported in December that prosecutors had evidence that implicated her in potential criminal activity, but reported that she was never charged.

Cohen is testifying again next week, right? Someone should ask him if this is true.

Of course if evidence exists that he's already perjured himself again, which it appears it does, I'm not sure why they're having him back. How can you consider him credible? As much as the Dems want to believe him, how can they justify it if it's shown he gave false testimony?

Nobody is going to ask him a question like that.

I didn't say they would, I said they should. If that's the way his cooperation was gained, I'm all for it being on the public record. I think it would speak to credibility. If there is any truth to the statement, how do we know his testimony isn't coerced and false? It would go toward transparency, and on the surface, seems relevant.

I agree that it should be asked, just like how the F are you paying your bills, travel and your lawyers. But they won't, whoever asked those questions would have the Muell 10' up their azz threatening to indict their wife/kids the next day.
