In case you hadn't noticed, the democrats have had Micheal Cohen, Trump's long time lawyer and fixer, testifying in front of Congress. Even Fox News carried the hearings live, for hours. Today, Sunday, Chuck Todd on Beat the Press summarized the testimony, actually Todd reran video clips that he thought would hurt Trump the most. I watched. Actually, I didn't think that any of the things Todd showed were particularly bad, evil, or even just crude. Todd showed a clip about Trump knowing about an upcoming Wikileaks dump of Hillary's damaging emails. So? This is a violation of what? Then there was a lotta talk about Trump trying to build a hotel in Moscow. So? To build anything in New York you gotta pay people off. I'm sure it works the same, maybe worse, in Moscow. And more talk about a meeting in New York with a Russian agent who claimed to have dirt on Hillary to share with Trump. So? If I am running for election and anyone turns up dirt on my opponent, I'm gonna listen. As I heard the story, the Trump people decided that the dirt on offer was fake at the first meeting with the agent and didn't buy. Not so dumb.
In short, Todd's best picks from Cohen's testimony failed to convince me that anything was out of order. I am OK with Trump, but I would not describe myself as a true believer. If the Cohen testimony doesn't convince me, it won't convince any of the Trump base voters.
Too bad the MSM wastes all that press coverage on a nothingburger story, rather than informing us of what is really going down in Washington.
