    You must have missed the earlier post about Pecker and Weisselberg getting immunity and confirming Cohen's testimony.
    Edit:
    But don't worry you will get an instant replay in Congress soon.

    Word forms: witch-hunts
    countable noun
    A witch-hunt is an attempt to find and punish a particular group of people who are being blamed for something, often simply because of their opinions and not because they have actually done anything wrong.

    So mueller will accuse trump of collusion?
    You can’t say it’s a witch hunt and then say hell not accuse trump because needs evidence! Lol
    Or did you think the Salem witch trials hinged on evidence lol

    No reasonable person could extract that from my post. I am happy you joined in and will be happy to discuss it with you. The statement I replied to was false, and was nothing more than a mini meltdown. I merely pointed out the fallacy of painting an entire group of people with a broad stroke and you felt compelled to defend the statement. He has already abandoned ship. Reminding you that you have falsely projected "sensitive, compulsive" onto me, and that the statement you attempted to defend can only make you look bad, maybe it would be best to come up with your own statement.

    You falsely painted an entire group of people with a broad stroke and cannot possibly defend your statement. Running away is your only option.

    I wanted to follow up with a several articles that attempt to summarize and highlight some of the most important elements from this testimony, including the additional crimes that implicate Trump and his family.

    Highlight articles:

    Highlights of the explosive Michael Cohen hearing on Capitol Hill

    Top takeaways from Michael Cohen's testimony before Congress

    Implications from the Testimony for Trump and his family:

    Michael Cohen Implicates President Trump For Wrongdoing In Wednesday's Testimony

    Explainer: What legal risks does Cohen's testimony pose to Trump?

    The Real Significance of Michael Cohen’s Testimony

    Republicans can’t defend Trump against the substance of Cohen’s attacks

    And one regarding Trump's response:

    Trump is “impressed” that Cohen said “no collusion.” But Cohen didn’t say that.

    Again, he was lying the 1st time to protect tTRUMP. Supposedly, how did that advance himself? He was indicted for it.

    Now, supposedly he fliipped, and is said to be lying yet again.
    How can supporting and turning on tRUMP both be lies?

    It's the R's, especially the one's in the questioning, saying he's lying. After being convicted of lying before congress for saying some of the opposite stuff.

    But it was a feeble attempt at deflection you tried.

    Sure thing. I knew exactly what you meant. Unfortunately you don't have a clue what I meant.


    As to arguing otherwise, you are doing a fine job of making my point, all by yourself.

    Yep and a pretty damn successful one to date. Seems there are a lot of witches running around in trumpian circles.

    NOt that the sleazy liars and crooks that trump has surrounded himself with throughout his career is any indication of his own judgement or behavior.

    Leaders can't possibly set the tone for their followers, nor do they have to take any responsibility for the actions of those followers. They are allowed to lie thru their teeth about it, repeatedly, tho.

    But keep up the wholly meaningless bumpersticker defense - witch hunt. Seems trumpettes have trouble peeling back them stickers just to find out that the bumper is rusted right through.

    And that payment to Cohen out of his personal trust account is a federal felony - or perhaps you didn't notice amongst all the lies.

    Who's been indicted, other than some Russians which cannot be prosecuted, for Russian collusion?

    four campaign members including its chairman? jus' guessin' and all.

    Think there might be a few more indictments comin' down the pike? I mean if Mueller has done such a good job of framing all those innocent people, it only make sense he'll manufacture more charges against more trumpians. Isn't that what a good deep state witch hunt is supposed to do?

    They were indicted for conspiracy to commit fraud against the US (and some related charges), not collusion.

    I have no problem defending my statement. Painting an entire group of people with a broad stroke, calling them stupid, is wrong and only exposes ignorance of basic logic. I am surprised anyone would challenge that, but I'm glad you did. Please show how my statement is wrong...

    When Gosar used the deadly "Liar, Liar, pants on fire" attack, Cohen should have countered with the traditional "I am rubber and you are glue" defense. That would remove any remaining doubt on how juvenile our congress is.
