Okay, we admit it. We skipped ahead and "live-blogged" in the night. After writing 4,000 words about Michael Cohen yesterday, we COULD. NOT. STOP. Lock us up in the cell next to Michael Cohen, we hear he's got JOKES. Seriously, here's Michael Cohen talking about Robert Costello, the attorney Rudy (allegedly) dispatched to dangle a pardon after Cohen flipped, without using his name.
LAWYER: Close to the President.
COHEN: Yes.
LAWYER: Employed by the White House?
COHEN: What, are we playing that game where you put it on your forehead?
LAWYER I'm grasping for straws here, Mr. Cohen. I'm just trying to figure out who the - not the intermediary. You don't have to talk about the intermediary.
COHEN: Well, if you ask me any more questions, it's either the person or King Kong, right?
Michael Cohen DGAF on February 28, and he continued to not GAF on March 6 when the Committee reconvened.
Mike Conaway (R-Irrelevance) got the ball rolling by reminding Cohen that he was still under oath -- "Typically, it finishes off with, 'So help me God,' some phrase like that." Not that he wanted Cohen to swear again, but Mike Conaway was
just sayin'. Can Mike Conaway pour piss from a boot with instructions written on the heel? We would not swear to it!
Also, either Robert Costello's name is redacted all over this document because he's getting an award for excellence in legal ethics and they don't want to ruin the surprise, or he's in deep shit with SDNY. (Spoiler Alert ...)
