Sarah Sanders says it’s all lies
Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer, is planning on portraying his onetime client in starkly negative terms when he testifies Wednesday before a House committee, and on describing what he says was Mr. Trump’s use of racist language, lies about his wealth[,] and possible criminal conduct.
[The Times really needs to ditch its stupid rule against the Oxford comma. I’m pretty sure that list at the end of the sentence is three items, not two, but the lack of the comma makes it distractingly annoyingly disruptively ambiguous.]
Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement.
“Disgraced felon Michael Cohen is going to prison for lying to Congress and making other false statements,” she said. “Sadly, he will go before Congress this week and we can expect more of the same. It’s laughable that anyone would take a convicted liar like Cohen at his word, and pathetic to see him given yet another opportunity to spread his lies.”
Says the constantly lying press secretary who lies for her lying boss every day. Laughable? Pathetic? We’re lost in a hall of mirrors.
The testimony provides Mr. Cohen with the opportunity to tell his story under penalty of perjury before an audience of millions of people, about two months before he is scheduled to report to prison.
Among the most explosive and potentially damning aspects of Mr. Cohen’s testimony will be providing evidence of potential criminal conduct since Mr. Trump became president, according to the person familiar with the plans.
So, that should be interesting.
Oxford commas! Yeah! I am currently correcting the closed captions on the videos I use in class, and the captioning program has that annoying bias against the Oxford comma. Students need to understand when things are a list, so they don’t conflate two things. I always use the Oxford comma; hate the other way.
As for being on topic, we’ve got liars lying about liars, lying about lying, and lying about telling the truth. Now all we need is to sort out lies from truth, and I think the question on that is – who has the most to lose from telling the truth? Trump. Cohen is already at three strikes and out.
So Cohen’s a scumbag. He worked for the scumbag who hired him. I want both of them to lose. Maybe even share a cell.
Odd, how everyone in Trump’s elite inner circle of ‘best people’ becomes a lying incompetent as soon as they turn away, or as soon as Trump discards them.
Would a tape of Trump dropping N-bombs have much impact? If his spray-on verges to brown rather than orange, will he be disgraced? Its bizarre how misogyny gets a free pass while somehow, in a few carefully circumscribed zones, racism does not.
Well, it would make the pale skin surrounding his eyes stand out even more, which would make him look goofier. And he would no longer be able to pass as a pumpkin.
Sort of a reverse raccoon? No, not possible. Raccoons are cute, even when they’re being annoying. Trump is annoying even when he’s being cute (which is never, I think).
