I coudn't get myself to watch the Cohen hearings, or even to read all that much about them. I'm just overloaded and sick of the whole thing.
But, from the little I read just now about the Republican strategy of discrediting Cohen instead of defending T, and the words used, and the drama, I get this sneaky feeling that some of these people must be thinking, "Shit, if T goes down, we're all going down with him." Discrediting a witness is an old courtroom trick used to remove attention from potentially damaging testimony. Magicians call it misdirection.

(1,178 posts)The talking point Wednesday became the "timing" of Cohen's appearance. Prior to that, they thought they were going to eat Cohen alive and discredit him. But when they couldn't and noticed Cohen was being credible, they suddenly started complaining about Cohen's appearance being the same day as Trump's meeting with Kim.
