White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley was not impressed by Michael Cohen’s lengthy and, at times, emotional interview with “Good Morning America” Friday.

“Look, quite frankly for the media to give credence to a convicted criminal who has lied on multiple occasions, and self-admitted doing just that, is laughable. The President has maintained and has said many times he has never instructed Michael Cohen to do anything illegal and we stand by that,” Gidley told Fox News.

    We definitely stand by the fact that the President said this. Fact check rating: true!

  2. I’m laughing, too, at the thought that Cohen dreamt up this scheme all by himself, with absolutely no input from Trump. Can I make a bid on the Brooklyn Bridge now?

  3. The question I have for the White House…

    How far are the allied forces from the Bunker? Can the president hear the cannon fire from where he is at?

  4. Are they laughing so hard that they are crying?
