For those of you who would like to hear or read what the Resident had to say about that lying weak Michael Cohen, here you are:
So, Michael Cohen has made many statements to the House, as I understand it, and the Senate. He put out a statement talking about a project which was essentially, I guess, more or less of an option that we were looking at in Moscow. Everybody knew about it. It was written about in newspapers. It was a well-known project.
It was during the early part of 16 and I guess even before that. It lasted a short period of time. I didn’t do the project. I decided not to do the project. So I didn’t do it. So we’re not talking about doing a project; we’re talking about not doing a project.
Michael Cohen — what he’s doing is — he was convicted, I guess, you’ll have to put into legal terms. But he was convicted with a fairly long-term sentence on things totally unrelated to the Trump Organization. Having to do with mortgages and having to do with, uh, cheating the IRS, perhaps, I guess, a lot of different things. I don’t know exactly. But he was convicted of various things unrelated to us. He was given a fairly long jail sentence, and he’s a weak person, and by being weak, unlike other people that you watch — He’s a weak person and — what he’s trying to do is get a reduced sentence. So, he’s lying about a project that everybody knew about.
I mean, we were very open with it. We were thinking about building a building. I guess we had it in a form — it was an option. I don’t know what you’d call it. Uh, we decided — I decided ultimately not to do it. There would have been nothing wrong if I did do it. If I did do it, there would have been nothing wrong. That was my business.
Adam Schiff responds:
Well if Mr. Cohen misled the Congress about the President’s business dealing in Russia deep into the campaign, it also means that the President misled the country about his business dealings, and that the Russians were apparently attempting to gain financial leverage over the potential President of the United States. This just underscores how important it is for us to finish the investigation . . .
