Had a decent relationship with this president, maybe he ll get me a pardon? cohen needs be very careful from this point forward about telling the truth. his narrative is i lied, i plead guilty. now i m a new guy, committed to telling the truth and any effort he makes that dev yates from the straight and narrow path will damaging to him. he looks very credible in front of the congress. he did a couple of things to demonstrate credibility. this is very unclear about why he would lie about a simple a matter and it may be that it s a matter of timing is the truth. but going forward, cohen needs act with extreme care for telling the truth. when you re winning a game of eight ball in pool, don t scratch.
