Cohen says 2nd intel hearing went "very well.": "I believe that all of the members were satisfied with the statements and the responses that I gave to them. I told them that any additional information that they would want, they should feel comfortable to reach out to my counsel." pic.twitter.com/rVksZhzh2Q

My guess is that Nunes and other republicans did not even bother to show…
Speaking of which, this peice from ABC is a great read: https://abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-claiming-ties-rudy-giuliani-approached-michael-cohen/story?id=61514204
Reading between the lines Guilliani had two lawyers (who will have no confidentiality) approach Cohen to get him not to turn and then - when he hired someone who Trump/Guilliani did not want - get this… send a bill for their “services” to Cohen which included calls with Guilliani.
My guess is that this report will spark bar complaints in NY against Guilliani, and if he was involved, he should be disbarred. This is really serious stuff, and highly unethical, not to mention likely illegal witness tampering.
It was also really, really, really stupid. This is high school level stupid and suggests that Guilliani is completely unable to cover his own tracks, is really just out of control/his mind. really boggles the mind that he would so clearly involve himself into a conspiracy to obstruct justice like this.
“I believe that all of the members were satisfied…”
What a co-inky-dink! That’s exactly what Roger Stone and Paul Manafort are going to be saying about their compatriots in cell block 11.
(Yeah, I know we’re not supposed to joke about prison rape. But - c’mon! This is Stone and Manafort we’re talking about here! Poetic licentiousness, people!)
When I walk down the street
In Queens they step aside.
Every senate I meet,
they all stay satisfied.
I won’t perjor pretty baby
Though I feel all alone
Let me tell you somethin’ mama
I’m sad to the bone
I hope we have not paid to much attention to Cohen and his side show and not enough attention to the biggest threat to our Democry and our way of life, Mitch McConnell. As time goes on and he plays his game I become more and more convinced he is more of a threat than Trump and all of his minions combined. None of Trumps nonsense would happen without the full force of McConnell. Just as one example, our judicial will not recover for generations.
I think the NY Bar Association has membership rolls. Could he not also be dismembered after being disbarred? (Asking for a Member of Congress.)
