Former Prosecutor Warns: Republicans Will Try To Turn Cohen Hearing Into A Circus
While discussing Rudy Giuliani's admission that negotiations for a Trump Tower Moscow lasted all the way into November of 2016, Rudy Giuliani's litany of lies and continually moving goalposts in defense of Trump, and the upcoming Congressional hearing with Michael Cohen, former federal prosecutor Cynthia Alksne was asked by MSNBC's Alex Witt how credible of a witness Cohen is going to prove to be, given the fact that that he has already lied to Congress.
Alksne warned of the possibility of Republicans like Jim Jordan and his ilk doing their best to turn the hearing into a circus in order to protect Trump.
ALKSNE: I honestly think it's not a good idea... from a... now I want to know everything that happened... I want to know here, I'm dying to know and I'm sure I'll listen to every word of it, but from a prosecutor's point of view you don't really want your witness in a House committee where, you know, Jim “looked the other way” Jordan is doing a cross exam. And there's going to be ugly yelling and screaming. And it's a weird set up.
