Opinion | Why AOC's questions for Cohen — and his answers — signal big trouble for Trump

The freshman from the Bronx asked Cohen if “the president ever provide inflated assets to an insurance company.” Cohen’s one word response? “Yes.” She followed up by asking: “Who else knows that the president did this?” Cohen shared the names of three executives of the Trump organization: Allen Weisselberg, Ron Lieberman and Matthew Calamari.

The exchange was brief, almost understated. And yet, Ocasio-Cortez was able to elicit information from Cohen that will help doubtless the committee as it continues down a legitimate investigative path towards the president’s tax returns. The questions also opened the door to further inquiries into whether or not the president. The officials within the Trump organization named by Cohen are a new batch of breadcrumbs for Democrats to follow.

Contrast this longterm strategy with the tactics employed by Republicans on the panel. The conservative representatives used the bulk of their time, not to challenge the substance of Cohen’s testimony or the Democrats’ questions, but to insult and clumsily attack the witness.

NBCNewsTHINK She's tough. Watch out, boys.
