Two Reasons the Cohen Hearings Were So Jaw-Dropping

First Read: “What was extraordinary about former Trump lawyer/fixer Michael Cohen’s public testimony before Congress Wednesday was his revelation that the president of the United States potentially committed illegal acts.”

“And that’s before we even get to Robert Mueller’s upcoming findings.”

“But what also was extraordinary yesterday was the power that President Trump continues to hold over his party, with GOP members of the House Oversight and Reform Committee attacking Cohen as an unreliable witness (though not really attacking the evidence or allegations he presented).”

“The one exception was Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) who appeared to have an open mind in questioning Cohen.”
