#1 Well, Jack, about half the American population wants to be lied to. All they want is power and free stuff. They don't care. It's all just a rationale for them to steal.

As to Mr. Cohen, let him be the baseline for all the Deep State government personnel who've lied to Congress. Now there's a endless special prosecutor's job.

#2 That's the problem, though. Cohen's lied to so many people so many times that it's hard to believe him at all, even if he says he's guilty.
(I'd like to see some corroboration here. Anything.)

#3 Not that I have any doubt he's guilty.
(The man's a handy tool, the kind that somebody [like Trump] keeps around so he doesn't have clean out his own drains.)

#5 I'm not saying it's O.K. but how often has the government lied to the people (especially during the last administration)? Benghazi, F&F, IRS, Obamacare, email scandals, phony foundations, Libya, Syria, election fraud, and on and on. They lie when they don't have to but usually its for self-enrichment and power. The people in Washington have long ago ceased to represent the people who elected them.

#6 [They] have long ago ceased to represent the people who elected them.

Moreover, I doubt that we elected many of these arseholes.

#8 In the future all politicians and lawyers will "take a Mueller" that is plead the fifth to avoid incriminating themselves by accident because special prosecutors are on a hunting expedition.

#9 OK, now let's prosecute that bastard John Brennan who has publicly admitted to lying to Congress.

I want his ass in JAIL. Come on Trump, step up. Sauce for the Goose...
