“It was my experience that Mr. Trump inflated his total assets when it served his purposes, such as trying to be listed among the wealthiest people in Forbes, and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes,” Cohen said.Departing from an early version of his prepared remarks, Cohen said during his opening statement that the president’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
In one bombshell disclosure, Cohen contradicted the president’s written testimony last year to the special counsel by recounting a conversation he overhead in Trump’s office in Trump Tower in July 2016 when longtime Trump associate Roger Stone was put on speakerphone to report back what he’d just discussed with Julian Assange.
Cohen also offered new details about Trump’s apparent knowledge of the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting involving the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, who offered dirt on Clinton to Donald Trump Jr. and other senior campaign officials. He said he was in a room with Trump early that month “when something peculiar happened,” noting the president’s son came into the room and walked behind his father’s desk.

They had to Photoshop Cohen's face over the original poster:
Now he needs to say that to his president who is the real lier.....
And what about realDonaldTrump? GOP doesn’t believe people can acknowledge their mistakes & redeem themselves; yet they extend a “mulligan” to Trump despite his THOUSANDS of lies, subterfuges, and immoral behavior with no remorse on his part? GOPDoubleStandard disgraceful
Somebody's auditioning for one of the revolving seats around Trump Cabinet Table. RepGosar Paul Gosar
This stupidmotherfucker repgosar. housegop michaelcohen rapeyrepublicans kavanaugh pedotrump russiangimps stupidoldfucks
Oh the indignity... Shameful that this is the level of discourse on the national leadership stage.
A Vet needs to check some of these GOP trump poodles as they were frothing around the mouth. It could be rabies
HouseGOP Will you be greeting CadetBoneSpurs with a liar, liar poster with his picture on it when he returns from his failed visit with Kim Jong Un? Trump is proven to be a compulsive liar as is Pence & Sarah Sanders - Lying is the cornerstone of the Trump Pence administration
Ok people we all know what to do, find Paul Gosar's lies and lets run them up the Twitter flagpole.
RepGosar Sir - you clearly skipped out on actually preparing for this hearing.
Funny. Why was Cohen the finance chair for the GOP until six months ago 🙄
No wonder his family hates him.
Too bad Paul Gosar (DrPaulGosar) didn't go to Med School to become a Psychiatrist – he might have diagnosed his own schizophrenia.
If this guy is your representative I feel bad for you unless you voted for him. What a toolbag. He couldn’t even get his words out without stumbling. Total buffoon!
Has this now gone down in history, documented for all to see, a court record of, setting precedence, changing history, a definite reason to change our constitution, 'liar, liar, pants on fire' Our Moms? That Sinister old adage How about go wash your mouth out with soap said Mom
There’s another one — hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Republicans got that one down about Trump. 🙈🙉🙊
Another sign of GOP desperation!
They fail to acknowledge this man was Trumps chief legal counsel for 10 years. They are just enabling him. I think that Cohen is a sleaze bag but so is Trump. Republicans just won’t connect the dots. Instead they have all of this drama for political reasons.
Ok, and Mexico will pay for wall and Trump will have a better and cheaper health care plan
Humorously ironic speaking about credibility. What better way to lose credibility than to quote toddlers? LiarLiarPantsOnFire
How could you quote a children’s bullying phrase in the hearing?
Has Gosar ever told Trump the same thing? If not, he should as Trump’s one of the most prodigious liars ever.
Yup you can’t argue with that type of intellect. Maybe after recess.
How childish is this? We pay this clown to act like a 2 year old?
'Your Mom.' 'I yield my time.'
Another grownup😂😂😂 What a freaking baby, time to change your diapers.
mr. gosar, the bell has rung and recess is over.
Was he talking about Cohen, Trump or both?
I’m ashamed of the way the Republican Party acted during this hearing absolutely a palling.
Then same goes for Trump
Republicans are an embarrassment to American People. To make light of the fact the President committed Treason. Instead of trying to ask pertinent questions, they attacked the witness just like with Kavanaugh's accuser. Republicans don't want truth they want to Cover-up Treason!
But then he support the lying,cheating pervert, Trump. One is known by the company one keeps. So, Paul, we know where you stand.
Well one could say the same thing about trump so what’s the difference we are surrounded by liars.👹👺🤡
What a tool. No wonder his siblings can’t stand him.
Who heard , liar, liar pants in fire, from their parents? 😆It was something I heard on the playground in 2nd grade! LOL
Seriously, “Liar, liar, pants on fire”? Trump has lowered the bar to a point that’s allowed the GOP to become a party of spoiled, selfish children.
Me thinks Thor does protest too much.....just sayin
Another adage my grandfather taught me. “It takes a liar 🤥 to know a liar.” Want to think 🤔 about that one?
This is the Rs best shot? Pathetic!
Can some of Cohen's claims be corroborated? Let's not dismiss the liar until the question is exhausted.
Perhaps the poster should be moved to the Oval Office!
RepGosar looked like a complete lunatic today! Definitely not looking for the truth! Another one that help the gop look like unhinged crazies today!
Can we impeach RepGosar and the rest of the GOP for not seeking the truth and protecting the con man in the White House!
Using that criteria, we should not believe anything our lying president says.
Obviously, he did not get a diaper change before the hearing.
Someone please break the spell 🤦🏾♀️
Is he a child
Is this a joke An actual elected official did this
Who elected this child? C’mon Flag, you can do better. Not even his siblings can stand him!
Trump must aflame .
Why even his kids wouldn't endorse him
Are you also saying this to DJT? dumpgop
Then what does that make DONALD Trump?
If you want to learn about Trump, you're going to have to talk to his friends/associates(liars and crimals) TrumpCrimeFamily TrumpCrimeSyndicate
It is now the duty for all Republicans to ask themselves, 'How can I be even more childish than the president?'
He has stupid lawyers
The lack of self awareness is staggering.
They keep going on about him being a lying dishonest guy. Do you really think that a crook like Trump would hire an honest upright lawyer?
Yet he listens to the president who is the biggest liar of all.
So proud of our hypocritical GOP members of Congress
.RepGosar that's really the best you can do? How about getting to the bottom of this, good or bad, for the American people. You acted like a spoiled brat today. And this is what we pay you for?
Bs
Yes, we’re eight
That’s all they’ve got..theatrics and smarmy yelling..
This hold for the Repubs who lied 3 times about their meeting. But we do love the childish remarks from the Repubs who surprisingly remember their moms
And yet they believe and defend Trump.
Momma also said that whoever you point a finger at, three more are pointing back to yourself.
Damn Disgrace to Justice and Democracy to see this Trump Puppet .Not Good looking for Answers or Justice. I guess He was good man when he lied and covered for Trump.
trump is the liar in office.
Hey Pauline, when are you gonna move INTO your district? Why didn't your own kids vote for you?
Does this also hold true for the Trump
WhooHoo, gonads!
Clever simpleton
It is sad when you have to tell a grown up person
The irony! Ummm...you know your President is the biggest liar around, right?
And how about Trump you fool!
Yep, they had nothing better to show for in this hearing. manchild
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I guess realDonaldTrump’s balls are burned to a crisp already then... Was that 5000 or 8000 documented and provable lies from Donald already? I lost count...
Does Rep. Paul Gosar have someone that plays him on SNL? Or does he do it himself? Just asking...
Cuz he’s never ever told a lie
To bad he dosnt point to a photo of Trump!
Should have Jack Nicholson come and scream “you can’t handle the truth.” Sad to see the quality of individuals we send to Congress. More trying to protect the crook than to investigate the peril facing our country. Koolaid sales are booming.
Great debating point. In an SNL skit.
That’s The best they can do, a pathetic sign. The guy admitted lying to protect their lying leader. Where is your country headed.
What screwed up version of the matrix are we living in?
Yet he worked for Trump for years. The GOP to concern themselves with liars is laughable.
Whatever these idiots say about liars, I expect them to make the same statements about Trump on proven lies made throughout the years
He also said a lot of people in his district were texting him about this hearing. At least we can rule out his brothers and sisters from the list of people texting.
Let me see if I got this straight: Trump hires criminals to help him get elected. Criminals get caught and are forced to testify against Trump. Trump, and his sycophantic partners in crime, admonish criminals for being criminals. MoronchurianCandidate
I love to listen to republicans talking about Lying. There president is the King of LIARS. His relationship with the TRUTH is tenuous at best. The Republican lawmakers have given the president Carte Blanche to commit any and every crime he chooses
Wasn't Gosar the big demon that the GhostBusters done did in?
Why the rules committee allowed that big ugly poster to sit there for testimony is a jaw dropping mystery. The Democrats should have had one up of Trump with the same verbiage, if that's how they want to play it.
Picture of Michael Cohen being chastised my Elijah Cummings
You repubs are as corrupt ad the WH resident.
He’s an idiot. He was my ‘rep’ for a few years. So glad I moved to Oregon where I have TRUE representation. I love RepBonamici JeffMerkley RonWyden
Wow a politician calling someone a liar
If this is the substance of his response perhaps the Country is stuck at a third grade level?
The Republicans forget that the BIGGEST LIAR is now at the WH.
thinks a member of Congress acting like a 10 year old child is a “key moment” 🙄
And yet people still listen to his boss
Pa lease his comments are stupid
Jim Jordan is trying to do best to defend the biggest liar and cheat by ignoring evidence and doing EXACTLY what Cohen did for years the “Says who” game.
Ta-da
Says the man whose own family campaigned against him ... rofl
So silly. Some people just refuse to GROW UP
But he’d have us listen and believe all of realDonaldTrump lies! TheTruthMatters
Hers another old adage, “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”.
But Lyring is all all Republicans do!
He seems to think that previous lies somehow make actual evidence and facts irrelevant? If Cohen’s current statements have evidence to support them....we should ignore them? What?
First the calendar, now we got posters!
Stop thinking “we the American people” are not interested in this hearing we are!
Oh, it's so 'classy' when posters and activists swarm these hearings. Congress has so much credibility to spare, they should promote vandals writing in Sharpie, 'Trump sux dik' and carve 'Socialism blows!' into the chairs... 🤪
Blah blah blah
They want him to testify and they take a cheap shot and put up a poster. There worse than Trump. Shameful, disgraceful. They need to be run out of office.
Because with this administration we’re all 12.
And people say that he’s just a dentist! I swear, he’s another Perry Mason.
Right but somehow they give trump credibility after 8,000+ lies and it continues literally every time he opens his mouth so really who has more credibility here ? A prolific liar or a person who was directed to lie by said prolific liar
The GOP wants to condemn Michael Cohen for lying which they should. However, they are hypocrites if they don't condemn President Trump for the numerous lies that he has told!
And yet you listen to Trump? Hypocrite
Gosar can’t read comprehensively off the piece of paper in front him. Whether this spectacle provides anything, who knows. But it is interesting not one Republican questions Trump’s actions, only to engage in Cohen’s character assassination.
You listen to trump everydau
Next kindergarten threats
He better well say the very same thing to his so-called president, the Orange Imbecile!
Might want to read this guys wiki page.
Um, he knows he was lying on behalf of his gop master right?
So the demicrats orchestrated thus meeting to bring a man going to jail for lying multiple times to Congress, which they were giddy about, and now expect Americans to believe him when all know Democrats are using him
Shouldn’t there be a reminder of the number of lies trump has told to include the payment of hush money to two women.
RepGosar you are a disgrace to Arizona.
Is this guy in 1st GRADE !!
This is just plain stupid!! By his matrix no one in America should listen to or give credibility to realDonaldTrump since we have proven he has lied thousands of times. “What’s Good for the Goose is Good for the Gander”. Another phrase my momma taught me!!!
Republicans are squandering their time and mostly pointing out the obvious... That Cohen has lied. That, and asking questions of Cohen and interrupting him as he tries to answer.
I hate this stupid gimmicky stuff. At least try to act like you know what statesmanship is.
By that logic he should turn around and not believe his boss trump either... but oh wait...they lack the ⚽️
MarilynLouise5 Ha ha ha Just like pre school kids When is ring around the rosy going start?
You know, the president lies to the American public on a daily basis ... literally, on a daily basis.
Congressmen at their best, ladies and gentlemen. Elementary-age concepts (insults) being gleefully entered into the U.S. government’s public record. And who says the GOP aren’t making America gooder again?
OMG... how unbelievably stupid. Yet these defenders of democracy couldn’t care less that Donald Trump has lied over 8,000 times. Putting party over country is treasonous.
RepGosar if lying disqualified individuals from speaking we would not have a president.
Trump lies hourly and republicans praises him.
Wow. Totally got him there...😂
It’s so funny to watch these GOP ask the same questions. It’s hilarious
He thinks he’s talking to Trump, right?
We actually pay these guys for this kindergarten behavior?
Ooooohhh....visual aids! Where is the overhead projector? 📽
Another example of immaturity by these asshats
Gosar-worshippers
I feel bad for the people who voted for Representative Paul Gosar when best thing he can use his time for was to say: 😂 😂 Cohen Gosar CohenGosar
FFS...as an Arizonan I apologize. As a person with teeth, I’ll never hire this man to do work on me
Gee, has he shared that with the liar-in-chief? GOP is acting holier than thou considering they never call POTUS out on his lies!
Remember RepGosar's seven Gosar siblings signed a letter to the Kingman Daily Miner decrying brother Paul’s “deceit and anti-semitic dog whistle.”
Yes, Cohen lied.... but we are supposed to believe good old Honest Donald is telling the truth. Absurd..........
That's will be a good catch line for TRUMP 2020 'LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE' realDonaldTrump
Childish!
Here's a closer look at that sign Gosar was pointing to 👇 More key moments from Cohen's hearing here:
OMG is he four years old?
I am appalled by the arrogance I am seeing and wonder how they think they have the right to be so asinine. No wonder they never want to leave, great pay, benefits, and can make completely idiotic statements with no repercussions.
Not surprising from s dirtbag whose family effectively disowned him for being racist.
Godard is an embarrassment to Arizona. His pathetic attempt to puff up his chest and stand up to Cohen at his first hearing was an absolute disaster. Not only did he stumble a stutter his way through that statement. He also sounded childish, unprepared, and sheepish.
Paging FloorCharts
Yet he knows Trump lies ALL THE TIME. but ignores that
How on earth do this men get elected? He really reflects poorly on on those Distict’s voters.
Didnt he lie to protect Trump? Trump ALWAYS lies and he gets a pass from these bigots.
This coming from a MAGA realDonaldTrump supporter is beyond absurd. Paul “I’m a dentist!” Gosar should be ashamed. What a joke. RepGosar
Unbelievable. We ELECT these people! We go into a voting booth and say 'Yes, I want this person to represent me '. Trump may be the worst poor choice we've ever made, but guys like Gosar prove we make these poor choices habitually
Will someone please call this man a doody-head and elevate this defense to the level it belongs?
Well Gosar’s own family doesn’t support him- and perhaps this is why! (He doesn’t know name calling is not an effective defense!)
Mobsters who have lied and murdered people have turned over evidence against other mobsters and were believed by Congress. They told the truth finally and Cohen is going to prison so he has no reason not to tell the truth. The GOP aren’t asking about Trump but only about Cohen.
GOP still trying to protect Trump.
Liar liar
Maybe Paul Gosar should redirect his sign to 45.
Pre school.
he said, making a fool of himself trying to defend a liar from another liar.
The truth will set you free...
Unless Gosar is a freshman, he needs stop the grandstanding. He and his GOP colleagues had opportunities to uncover the facts, but decided to defend the Manchurian president instead. Now, they're left with egg on their faces.
He had a poster printed before he heard any testimony y'all...
Lol Manafort was in a similar situation where his plea deal got fucked because he lied under oath, Cohen’s not gonna be that stupid and follow suit. Republican’s know this too, they’re just trying to make him look like an unreliable source because they’re on deathwatch lol
I am lovin' that sign. Sums up MC perfectly.
Bruh, 8 of your 13 siblings hate you
Hit job
I wonder why he doesn't use that adage when addressing Donald Trump?
Dignity!
Idiot
Now do trump!!
He should demonstrate that to Individual No. 1
He pronounced Trump wrong; the liar liar pants on fire is spelled TRUMP
Ladies and gents, the United States Congress.
It’s obvious the GOP isn’t interested in finding the truth. They’re only goal is to discredit Cohen. Ask hard questions and let the public decide if he’s believable. Just another Congressional circus.
wow. I can't even.
I don't know of any child who was taught the phrase 'Liar, Liar Pants On Fire' by a parent. That's an immature phrase that little kids learn from peers or older kids. The GOP members are displaying their own immaturity here, responding like juveniles.
GOP busting out the big guns.
Its funny that they attack his credibility rather then asking questions and bringing up points that would actually prove he is lying.
Attacking MichaelCohen212 in defence of realDonaldTrump on grounds of credibility is about as clever as a turkey voting for Thanksgiving.
SERIOUSLY
Well....That's Mature.
This can’t be real! How old are these people Is this Kindergarten? So stupid!
Clearly, that's all the Republicans have -- impugn the witness to save Trump NO MATTER WHAT. By their logic, no criminal would ever be convicted because -- how is it possible?! -- all of his associates are sordid.
Rep. Gosar, even liars with documentation can provide proof of his statements for the public to see. I know it is the GOP agenda to spin this damaging testimony but look st the proof.
ya okay Goser
GOP is such a credible whiner.
Did he call him a doody head after that?
All this finger pointing about lying when The Pres does it on some level quite often, out loud and for everyone to see. Heck, they're captured in tweets for our perusal. It doesn't excuse everyone else, but The Pres doesn't get a pass either.
And his 6 siblings publicly came out against him...so there’s that
Ridiculous! This is a US congressman
Twelve angry Republicans.
Disciples of IMMORALITY, INDECENCY, A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, a Con-Artist, CORRUPTION UNBOUNDED — disciples of TrumpISM! Jim Jordon the lead disciple! Trump has made 8000+ LIES since taking office.. Good lord!!
Is there a better angle of Gosar saying this? I want to post! 😆
Paul Gosar is a liar.
The impressive intellect of the GOP is on full display here folks.
Coming up...the I'm rubber, you're glue defense.
Gosar needs to talk Trump about pants on fire rhymes...*sips tea 🍵
Better tell 45 also
Was that a question or was this republican trying to divert attention? Amazing, hard hitting cross examination !
RepGosar if this is the case about liars then NOBODY SHOULD EVER BELIEVE TRUMP!! He’s the biggest LIAR!! TrumpLiesAlways
I know you are but what am I? Nanna nanna boo boo
So, what has saying is that WE should never believe someone who has told a lie? Then we should not believe Gosar, or anybody for that matter.
We know he lied because he had documents that proved it. If those documents were true, why don’t Republicans refer to the documents he brought today?
Paul Gosar has no mention of “pathological liar” on his twitter feed. Just thought I’d point that out.
Idiot.
It’s CLEAR that the Repubs are angry they couldn’t postpone this hearing. And I’m not sure why the STARK difference in attitudes. Frankly it makes the Republicans look like a bunch of whiny hostile hate filled ppl. Both sides, do your damn jobs like adults, NOT children
How ANY republican has the GALL to call MichaelCohen22 a LIAR, is laughable!! They will stop at NOTHING to save their leader, realDonaldTrump - the serial Liar-in-Chief who has told about 10,000 LIES. IRONY
GOP is embarrassing America. They don’t want the truth. Such an irony they keep calling Cohen a liar, as they are defending pathological liar realDonaldTrump.
sesamestreetcongress
While he supports the liar in chief.
Could that have been any lamer?!
I guess my Mom never saw the need to teach me that saying.
Isn't this the same dude who's own family wouldn't vote for him?
Democrats made their beds... and they will be punished for this show trial.
I wouldn't exactly find this congressman even remotely qualified to question the dog re the little dog pile on the carpet!
HouseGOP are all childish and deserve to loose their positions as part of our nation's democratic process. If they keep covering for Trump they will lose, bigly.
Trump lies everyday.
Haha of peoples pants caught of fire the Capitol would be in big trouble!!
This shit just shows how low Republicans are willing to go to distort the truth because of course everyone is stupid...this is embarrassing
Jim Jordan added “I am rubber and you are glue Mr. Cohen, these allegations of cannibalism bounce of me and stick to you”
This is the best they've got
Gosar is an embarrassment to Arizona.
How does this idiot square the circle when his president literally lies hundreds and hundreds of times? Oh wait...he doesn't because truth doesn't matter to the GOP only political power.
lame.
Republican strategy in this testimony: derailed
Well that's mature.
Gosar is really bad at this.
Ha! Ha! Ha! This is the height of hypocrisy coming from these Republicans who are standing behind their LiarInChief. Hope this comes back to bite them in the rear soon!
Shorter Gosar:
Amazing how the same standard is not used with their master Trump..is the biggest LIAR
Gosar, brought out the true felon in Colen and America did not like what they saw!
MichaelCohen212 is doing pretty good here!
Paul Gosar’s family disavowed him because he’s an anti-Semite.
The same man who’s family made a commercial to talk about his poor character? What a fool.
Yes, he lied in the past - we know that because we now know the objective truth via the DoJ/SDNY, which is entirely compatible with what he's saying today. Either you believe he's lied in the past (and thus telling the truth today) or you believe he doesn't belong in jail at all.
Then a school full of elementary school kids took their seats and asked Cohen more questions. It’s only logical.
Does this apply to our lying Prez!!
Boy republicans are sure angry at Cohen for throwing there master trump under the bus, trump for prison 2019.
