any regard for the truth. again, if you like donald trump, i think you re going to be horrified that congress has called him as a witness, especially when the president is in vietnam meeting with kim jong un. if you don t like donald trump, you re going to think, finally, we are hearing some of the truth. melissa: chris, this is melissa francis. quick question. he brought some evidence with him, although he has been convicted of forging documents. but he brought with him the bank checks but he was given some copies of, financial statements, copies of threatening letters that he himself wrote on president trump s behalf. what did we learn today so far that is new? that we had not seen before or known about before? chris: well, i m trying to think. we didn t know before again, this is uncorroborated, but he said he was in the office with donald trump, private citizen candidate, and 2016 when
donald trump you are horrified that he is even speaking. particularly as the president is in vietnam dealing with north korea. if you don t like donald trump, i suppose this is catnip. i thought some of the most powerful moments were actually not about facts, they were basically statements. uncorroborated, but statements. debbie wasserman schultz asked him whether he thought he was capable of colluding with the russians. he says he has no hard evidence of that. he does have some circumstantial evidence that the president knew about the trump tower meeting in 2016. and, rather, michael cohen said he is capable of doing anything and working with anyone to win. i also thought it was pretty powerful at the very end there when he was talking with one of the democratic congressman and basically said to the g.o.p. members cutting him off, you are doing today exactly what i did for ten years, which is protecting donald trump without
he is not in the john dean league. i think there are three important details. when john dean testified to the senate committee, his testimony was uncorroborated. it was doubted by many people, it was only after the tapes came out later after they identified the taping system that it turned out he had an incredible memory. the second thing is that if this politics national attention to this issue. to have this televised all day long, just as the sam irvin committee hearings did, it increases the level of public awareness, and the political pressure on congress to act. and the third thing is that congress is not privy to the prosecutors examination of
president to pursue their own self-serving agenda, because they are smarter than us smelly walmart people. it was to preserve the swap and the deep state. it s all on full display because now they are starting to turn on each other. now they are panicking and they know they got caught. remember, comey, rosenstein, andrew mccabe, sally yates,, all of them signed off on hillary clinton s fisa warrant application usingio hillary s bought and paid for, unverified, uncorroborated, phony russian research. not only propagandize in light of the american people to help hillary win, but of course, they used it as the basis, bulk of information in the fisa application, four times. theyey certify that that phone e bought and paid for dossier was verified. we now know it was never verified and that they made material, false statements to a fisa court denying a fellow american s constitutional rights. even i dossier s author under
is unverified and uncorroborated. so the question is, it was used four times and signed off, what about all the people that signed off on a document they never verified? all of them should be held accountable. we are attempting to find them accountable in congress. probably the right thing that should happen would be the judges to hold them accountable. in the meantime, the new attorney general when he gets in there, he should immediately call for some type of review of all of this. we are going to have to present in the information. i think at that point, hopefully something will happen. sean: with criminal referrals. either criminal referrals, or if the judges hold them accountable, they can lose their law license. but really, if there is not reforms done to the fisa process, if accountability is not delivered in this matter, i think it is going to be very hard for americans don t want to
