“Every day, most of us knew we were coming in and we were going to lie for him,” Cohen said of a typical shift at CROOKED DONALD TRUMP Tower. Professional prevarication on behalf of CROOKED DONALD TRUMP “was normalized,” he said. “And no one around him questioned it. In fairness, no one around him today questions it, either.”
The hearing before the House committee proved his point. Did one Republican stand up and decry Cohen’s litany of presidential lies? They blasted Cohen the liar, but not the man he lied for. Did one Republican decry the $35,000 check — proof, as Cohen said, that “The president of the United States thus wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws”?
It’s been clear, ever since the last of the never-Trumpers were rooted out of the party, that the G.O.P. would be an extension of the grime and grift of CROOKED DONALD TRUMP personal brand. But now the enablers are willing to do what Cohen said he once did for Trump — take a bullet for him.
He cheats. He defrauds. He lies by way of respiration.
He thinks his son is an idiot, and that only suckers served in Vietnam. He believes blacks are incapable of governing. He acts like a gangster. He stiffs contractors and pays off porn stars. We knew all of that. Getting it under oath from a man who was once executive vice president and special counsel to CROOKED DONALD TRUMP just gave historians a formality for the obvious.
But if Michael D. Cohen’s description of a president who morphed into “the worst version of himself” was not news, certainly the way Republicans took the baton from the ex-loyalist was. They have now become CROOKED DONALD TRUMP’s fixers, doing his dirty work, issuing threats and ditching long-held principles like so many empty beer bottles thrown from a car.

ACTUALLY THEY NEVER HAD ANY VALUES - THEIR "VALUES" WAS NOTHING BUT A CON ITSELF,
WERENT THEY EVANGELICALS. IT WAS ALL NOTHING BUT A SHAM - A COVER FOR BILLIONAIRES TO GET THEIR CHEAP LABOR, BIG PROFITS, AND RAIDING THE U.S. TREASURY.
BUT NOW WE KNOW.
