House Intel Will Call Trump Org Moneyman Allen Weisselberg To Testify
Allen Weisselberg received renewed congressional attention after disgraced Trump fixer Michael Cohen on Wednesday repeatedly mentioned the Trump Org CFO as crucial to various aspects of dubiously legal practices by the president, from the Stormy Daniels hush-money payments to potential insurance fraud.

"The Committee anticipates bringing in Mr. Weisselberg," a Democratic committee aide told The Daily Beast.

Cummings: House Oversight will seek interviews with Trump Jr., Ivanka
House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said Thursday that the panel will seek to interview several of the people that Michael Cohen mentioned during his six-hour testimony, including President Trump's children Don Jr. and Ivanka, as well as Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg.
So the Trumplings will eventually get the Oversight Committee treatment, and both Oversight and Intelligence committees have their eyes on Weisselberg.

Sean Hannity to Trump in tonight's interview, on Michael Cohen and the hush-money payments: "I can tell you personally, he said to me at least a dozen times, that he made the decision on the payments and he didn't tell you."

Hannity insists Cohen "was never my attorney" - Cohen said in court Hannity was 1 of his 3 clients - then says Cohen told him he decided to make hush payments on his own

"He said to me a dozen times he made the decision on the payments & he didn't tell you"

"Yup," Trump replies pic.twitter.com/NqhLJi7guH

Just caught up with the testimony. Cummings' closing speech was on fire. I think it may go down in history as a highlight of the Trump presidency.

LOL, wat??

I hope Hannity gets burned and does some good jail time.

Yeah like wtf? This dude is admitting on live tv with one of the central conspirators that he knew of a felony being convicted and kept it hidden, and is saying things that would utterly destroy one of the central tenets of Cohen's most recent under oath testimony, along probably with the SDNY investigation into Trump (at least that one).

Given the seriousness of this all, it seems like the House Committee should pursue this lead and get Hannity under oath. Let's see if the stories match up with other witnesses and actual recorded and logged reality... they won't.

Sooooo, any good breakdowns/summaries/best of Youtube-vids of this whole shebang? I tried following it when it was on at one point but some annoying Republican woman was just repeating some dumb shit over and over and the thing didn't seem to be going anywhere so I started doing some other stuff.

The thing that the public hearing really made clear to the swamp people: Cohen doesn't give a fuck anymore about holding anything back. Everybody who had illegal shit to do with him is now wondering if he kept the reciepts (and tapes) for that too.

That hearing was hilarious. Like a real life soap opera. Only thing missing was some long dead character coming back as a surprise witness.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Wow, just revealed that Michael Cohen wrote a "love letter to Trump" manuscript for a new book that he was pushing. Written and submitted long after Charlottesville and Helsinki, his phony reasons for going rogue. Book is exact opposite of his fake testimony, which now is a lie!

8:00 AM - Mar 1, 2019


Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Congress must demand the transcript of Michael Cohen's new book, given to publishers a short time ago. Your heads will spin when you see the lies, misrepresentations and contradictions against his Thursday testimony. Like a different person! He is totally discredited!

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Oh' I see! Now that the 2 year Russian Collusion case has fallen apart, there was no Collusion except bye Crooked Hillary and the Democrats, they say, "gee, I have an idea, let's look at Trump's finances and every deal he has ever done. Let's follow discredited Michael Cohen.....

8:19 AM - Mar 1, 2019

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

...and the fraudulent and dishonest statements he made on Wednesday. No way, it's time to stop this corrupt and illegally brought Witch Hunt. Time to start looking at the other side where real crimes were committed. Republicans have been abused long enough. Must end now!

This is legitimately the ramblings of a madman. He's getting dangerously close to being found out and lashing out even more so than usual... And it's glorious.

I say glorious, I mean, terrifying that this man is still in power.
