and you know, people are using my words that they took from me and didn t give me any credit. we are better than this. we are so much we really are. as a country, we are so much better than this. and you know, i told you, and for some reason, mr. cohen, i tell my children, i say when bad things happen to you, do not ask the question why did it happen to me? asked the question why did it happen for me? i don t know why this is happening for you. but it s my hope that a small part of it is for our country to be better. if i hear you correctly, it
the molar investigation. greg: the court of public opinion. dana: do you want this to be over with or not? i think they would like to get it over with. jesse: is that the first argument between dana and greg on the five ? dana: it s not and i will keep talking so i can win. another thing about cohen, republicans trying to tarnish his reputation and he does have a turn at reputation. he s been a jerk for many years. if he s not been caught, he would still be being a jerk today. greg: i agree with you. dana: thank you. back in agreement, brother and sister. if not for the molar investigation. the mueller investigation. he would be getting those contracts from foreign governments. he said if you need to talk to trump, i can help you. he also said he never wanted a job in the white house. i would imagine there are reporters already today over at cnn said that s not true. i think if the end, if you are a
mr. meadows and i sent you a letter asking you to have mr. rosenstein here. i think it s important to know that last week when you announced that mr. cohen was coming this week, it happened to be the very same week that we learned the deputy attorney general of the united states was thinking about wearing a wire to record the commander in chief, was actually contemplating talking to cabinet members and invoking the 25th amendment. that s what we should be focused on coming up this sad display we ve had to go through the last several hours. again, not my words. you can take the words of the former general counsel for the house of representatives under tip o neill. i hope we ve learned some things here today. mr. chairman, as i said earlier, your first big hearing, the first announced witness of the 116th congress is a gentleman who s going to prison in two months for lying to congress. i don t think that s what we should be focused on.
go ahead. i am ashamed because i know what mr. trump is. he s a racist. he is a con man. and he is a cheat. how on earth is this witness credible? with all the lies and deception, the self-serving fraud, it begs the question. what does the majority party doing here? i wouldn t use the word colluding. was there something odd about the back-and-forth praise with president putin? yes. mr. cohen, you called donald trump a cheat in your opening testimony. what would you call yourself? a fool. you are a pathological liar. you don t know truth from falsehood s. are you referring to me or the president? this is my time. jesse: it got a little
the god they pray to and you don t cuddle up to our adversaries at the expense of our allies. finally, you don t shut down the government before christmas and new year s just to simply appease your base. this behavior is churlish. it denigrates office of the president and decently un-american. and it s not you. so to those who support the president and his rhetoric as i once did, i pray the country doesn t make the same mistakes i have made or pay they have a price my family and i are paying. i thank you very much for this additional time, chairman. thank you very much. the ranking member has a closing statement. thank you, mr. chairman. we know mr. cohen has been dishonest in the past. that s why he s going to prison and two months. but there are things today that he said during the several hours of questioning that just don t add up either.
