OF COURSE all trumpicans are attack dogs servicing don. OF COURSE all Dems are treating Cohen respectfully.
WHY?
Oh c'mon! Y'all KNOW WHY. The trumpicans are ordered to hack and slay. The Dems are charged with letting Cohen have his say.
Theatrical posturing. I think the trumpicans are auditioning for a job futurely with little donny dingbat. They know he LOVES rude loud mean defiant hostile. So they are giving him exactly what he wants. The better to suck up to him with right? They are all AUDITIONING for an audience of one.
It's a waste of time. Pummeling Cohen does NOT render what he has to say false. Everyone KNOWS THAT. These pols are playing their assigned roles. Staying ON SCRIPT. Some of the weaker dudes yield to the meaner tougher dudes. Repeatedly. For your consideration in the twilight zone of the wherever. It ya wanna kill time watching it is a way to do that.
WASHINGTON – One of President Donald Trump's fiercest allies in the House of Representatives posted a tweet Tuesday that many called a direct threat to Michael Cohen ahead of his public testimony before Congress on Wednesday.
Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz posted on Twitter that Cohen's wife was "about to learn a lot" about him and accused the former Trump attorney and fixer of being unfaithful in his marriage. He later deleted the tweet and apologized to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"Hey @MichaelCohen212 - Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends?" Gaetz wrote in the since-deleted tweet. "Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. I wonder if she’ll remain faithful when you’re in prison. She’s about to learn a lot..."
Cohen spent Tuesday behind closed doors testifying to the Senate Intelligence Committee. He will appear before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday in a public appearance that's expected to revolve around the president's alleged infidelities, businesses and finances.

When asked by reporters on Capitol Hill about the tweet, Gaetz denied that the post was a threat or attempt to intimidate Cohen.
"This isn't witness tampering, it's witness testing," he told reporters outside his office. "When people like Michael Cohen, who's about to go to prison for lying, come before the Congress, there's an enhanced responsibility on the part of members of Congress to test that veracity, to test the truthfulness and character of the witness, and I think we ought to do it with great vigor."
Gaetz did not elaborate on his allegations that Cohen had an affair, which hasn't been previously reported, or where he obtained this information, only saying that reporters should tune in during Wednesday's hearing.
Later, however, Gaetz deleted his tweet after Pelosi said via Twitter that members' comments "on social media or in the press can adversely affect the ability of the House Committees to obtain the truthful and complete information necessary to fulfill their duties."
In response, Gaetz tweeted: "Speaker, I want to get the truth too. While it is important 2 create context around the testimony of liars like Michael Cohen, it was NOT my intent to threaten, as some believe I did. I’m deleting the tweet & I should have chosen words that better showed my intent. I’m sorry."
