Analysis | Power Up: 'The answer is yes:' Cohen plans to say Trump knew of WikiLeaks email dump

“Hey @MichaelCohen212 — Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends?” Gaetz taunted yesterday“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.” Gaetz's warning, which legal experts said could amount to witness tampering, reflects the high-stakes nature of Cohen's testimony tour and the swirling concerns over just how damaging it might be to Trump.

“Every single Republican will be trying to make Cohen look less credible but we're playing a fine line ourselves between not making this wacko look like a hero. But at the same time, if there is something valuable that we can take back to the American people, we need to do so -- there's this fine balancing act here," a House Democratic aide with knowledge of the preparations told Power Up.

“My understanding is that whether questions are posed or not posed that go beyond what the chairman [Rep. Elijah Cummings] has said, that the witness will only be responding to things within the scoping document.”Trump will meet with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un today at 6:30 p.m. in Hanoi . Trump and will have a one-on-one meeting followed by a “social dinner,” according to the White House's daily schedule.

“White House officials in Washington will be watching Cohen's testimony and taking notes, in case the President wants to be briefed on what was said, according to a senior White House official.

Everyone knew, Wikileaks announced it you dolt!

This is news?

Lol. Everyone knew of the Wikileaks email dumps, and timing of them. Assange announced it, and their insurance file downloads ALWAYS preceded the unlock key being released. Only Hillary supporters refused to pay attention to them or read them because CNN told them not too 🤣🤣🤣

Everyone knew, it was public knowledge because WikiLeaks teased us for months! Not new news, but maybe your readers are so blinded by hate they won’t realize they’ve known this information for two years

This convicted felon is desperately trying to avoid a long prison term. And WAPO wants us to believe what exactly?

Analysts are so ignorant, which lie to believe?

Saying and proving are two totally different things. Riddle me this. How is it a guy that Muller has interrogated for no telling how many hours is being paraded out in public to answer questions before he goes to jail for lying.

So which lie is the truth? Mueller: you say this and you won't spend 60yrs in Prison Cohen: ok

So did everyone else....Cohen is a known liar. Why are you giving him any kind of platform?

So what?

Do we believe him?

EVERYONE knew, you dolts. Wikileaks had announced they had a big release coming long before the DNC convention and took weeks verifying its authenticity. I guess WaPo wouldn’t understand that. Authenticity is not your thing, right?

Michael Cohen's 20-page prepared congressional testimony alleges President Trump knew of WikiLeaks dump of hacked DNC emails prior to their release and pressured Cohen to lie about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow TrumpRussia FollowTheMoney

JaxAlemany When your Password is: Password The whole world breeches your Account! What a CIA controlled media HOAX!

Because Michael Cohen says so? 😂

So what?

“Russia, if you’re listening...”

Let's do the DNC next.

I hope, it is not a case of sour grapes 🍇 on Cohen's part?

No intelligent person really cares about or believes what this guy has to say. liar

And Trump will say he didn't. But we all know where lies the truth 😂😂😂😂😂

Funny that everyone is in suspense over what a known liar might say.

So what!? It doesn’t matter! But the fact that democrats voted for full term babies/ born alive babies to be murdered is an evil that can not be compared!!!!!

The truth will set him free! Hey donnie leave the jet and fly back coach! Secret service and FBI WILL MEET YOU AT THE AIRPORT!

These are 🐀 I don’t trust these guys they do sacrifice every last American to save their A S and Israeli +Ksa

Michael Cohen is making his case even worse for himself if he was Mr Trump lawyer he was supposed to give legal advice to him

So, just when would you known that a professional lier is telling the truth?

Also known as COLLUSION

So did I, WL hyped it for weeks

Cohen and Democrats...

Boom 💥

So?

We all knew/ Wikileaks announced it lol

Didn't everyone know of Wikileaks email dump? I mean....they literally advertised it

Who cares? How about HillaryClinton and her 'email dump'? Screw the disgusting progressives, they are completely invalidated, we need to pull their teeth and shut them up IMO.

weird MULLER DID NOT FIND ANY OF THIS

Anyone who doesn’t know that our president is a racist is lying to themselves

NOKO

Michael Blasey Cohen

TomFlowers who cares? LOL

The only story that the American people care about is the Summit with NOKO.

This will be good. A convicted perjurer. Which truth will it be? Really putting your eggs in this basket,WaPo?

Of course he did cheating is what Trump does. He's done it all his life

Christine Blasey Ford Round 2. Cohen's voice cracks. He's wearing giant glasses. ...I remember hearing Trump pin-balling down the stairwell laughing while reading the dumps.

So a convicted liar and thief (probably Dem paid under the table) is going to go before Congress and lie about something he would have had nothing to do with? Even after being caught in a lie about a payoff to Stormy? Makes sense....

No way Mueller believed Cohen otherwise Stone would be charged with other crimes and Cohen would be a government witness not testifying to congress

Rats lie. michaelcohen

The Bezos Fake News Washington Post taking the bait 😂😂

Cohen is “a fine person with a wonderful family” who is a “businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected.” -- donald j. trump, April 2018

Michael Cohen to testify that Trump knew of WikiLeaks plotMichael Cohen will testify to Congress that President Trump knew of communications between Roger Stone and WikiLeaks about stolen Democratic National Committee emails, according to his prepared testimony. Whats your point? Who cares. Reading Cohen's opening statement, it's hard not think of Trump's supporters as oblivious props in a 'Truman show'-like production where they dutifully clap at every cue card prompting for all of Trump's 'applause' lines: Who didn't? It was public knowledge.
