Michael Cohen set to accuse Trump of criminal conduct, congressman threatens him
Posted by Josh Taylor / February 27, 2019Michael Cohen, former attorney and “fixer” for President Donald Trump, is set to testify against his former boss in front of Congress. He will accuse Trump, under oath and publicly, of criminal conduct while in office. That criminal conduct is related to the hush money Trump paid to Stormy Daniels, a porn star with whom Trump allegedly had an affair. Cohen brokered the exchange. Because this information is coming from an unnamed source familiar with Cohen’s planned testimony, it is not yet clear the exact nature of the criminal conduct.
Cohen will also give details about Trump’s finances and what it’s like to work under Trump. He also claims to have evidence of Trump’s “lies, racism, and cheating.”
At least one Republican congressperson, perhaps in a Stockholm-induced stupor, has jumped to Trump’s defense. Florida Representative Matt Gaetz tweeted, “Hey @MichaelCohen212 – Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends? Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. I wonder if she’ll remain faithful when you’re in prison. She’s about to learn a lot.”
Gaetz’s tweet has started a small firestorm on Reddit. The top comment on the thread has been removed, though users are reposting it faster than moderators can remove it:
Matt Gaetz is a licensed attorney in Florida. His Bar Number is 48962. He violated 18 U.S.C. § 1512. He could be charged with a felony for witness tampering but this is also grounds for disbarment. Feel free call the Florida Bar and file an official complaint. The number is 1-866-352-0707.
This is all public information but I figured it would be helpful to provide it for others.
