Michael Cohen displayed an array of emotions during his public hearing before the House Oversight Committee: humor, frustration, sincerity.

And when asked what he wanted his children to know about the whole ordeal, Cohen struggled to hold back tears.

“That I’m sorry for everything and I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused them,” he said, looking down as he choked up. “And I wish I can go back in time.”

  1. Subjunctive case, Cohen. And I’m sure you do wish you could. Everything Trump touches dies.

  2. I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Cohen in having the courage to face up to his crimes and he has shown remarkable restraint today. The Meadows/Jordan circus which started the hearing has continued, with such luminaries as Virginia Foxx (how the hell is she still in Congress??) carrying water for the Vulgar Talking Yam. These continued attacks on his testimony simply cement my belief that he is telling the absolute truth. We’ll see what Director Mueller has to contribute to this story; sooner rather than later, I hope.

  3. No mercy for Mikey.

  4. All of us. Republicans, Democrats, and the non-voters, wish we could go back in time. And that includes your candidate and his family, GOP.
