compared himself to michael cohen, john dean was, of course, of the nixon era and had to testify against president nixon and he thought there was a lot of parallels with you know when you re working for a guy you get wrapped up in the mentality of protecting him and taking a bullet for him. now republicans on the committee they were not willing to defend trump s behavior in terms of writing checks to, you know, cover up mistresses but they wanted to attack the credibility of cohen. what was your main takeaway from that testimony? how big of a game changer was that? it could be a very big game changer especially in the back and forth with certain members of congress and the doors that were opened to possibly future investigations about potential tax evasion, about potential obstruction of justice. there s a lot of new avenues or bigger avenues to now to be
basically his intimidator because he couldn t do it himself. this is someone who was contacting schools he attended so they wouldn t release s.a.t. information. i agree with adrianna this is something in the voters component, i don t know it will have an impact on the vote. but this is bigger than this. is this the kind of democracy we re seeking? do we really want a president of the united states that s caught up in this amount of web of lies and surrounds himself. if you meef mr. cohen is not a credible witness then why did the president surround himself with him so long. why is every single person associated with the president of the united states, indictment, guilty charges, on and on. you didn t see this in the previous administration. the reason there weren t investigations in the previous administration they weren t corrupt. this is crazy what s going on in the country and we should at least take a step back and

cohen as a road map for investigations going forward. from the people that cohen mentioned in his testimony which one can offer the greatest insight into the missing pieces of these investigations? i m very fascinated by the people at the top of the trump organization that he listed. when i talked to my source at the white house they always told me that one of their biggest fears, not from was not from the campaign, not from his early years in the administration. but when cohen s office was raided by agents and they went in and kind of pulled all the shadows and all the, you know, all the dust off the books that was in his office, because there s so much going back years and gathers in the trump organization that they did not have any control of. so for those people to be brought in at the top of that organization who had been working with trump for years if not decades, i think there can be a lot more skeletons that can
