I have nothing that I need to do tomorrow and plan to spend as much time as I can watching his testimony. But I'm getting a good preview watching Don Lemon.

This one made me laugh:

"Copies of letters I wrote at Mr. Trump’s direction that threatened his high school, colleges, and the College Board not to release his grades or SAT scores."

....in 70+ years! trump is FINISHED. He's going down and hopefully going to jail.

They're going to rip his testimony to shreds, but Mueller has all of this documented - documents, recordings, etc.

This is probably why Mueller has been so quiet on this recently, he knows he's got the "receipts", and all he needed was Cohen's testimony to tie it all up.

Again, if this is what we are hearing, trump is finished, and hopefully donny jr and ivanka are going down with him.

Draft dodging, conspiracy, racism, election fraud, tax evasion, campaign finance fraud, adultery, and that's just the opening statement. How bad will it get behind closed doors when the public testimony is over? Hope this is printed in every newspaper in the country and broadcast over and over by the cable news folks. I will have to DVR Morning Joe and all the other AM cable shows tomorrow.

the orange anus threatened "his high school, colleges, and the College Board" not to release his SAT scores.

Hahahaha bet they're atrocious.

For some reason this just strikes me as funny, amidst all of the serious criminality.

People won’t be saying ‘Biiger Than Watergate’ in future.

It will be something like ‘Bigger than The Russia Thing’

while President to reimburse Cohen for the hush money payments. That violation of campaign finance laws alone should be enough to get the impeachment ball rolling. However, Trump would never allow himself to be impeached. He'd resign first. Cohen's opening statement will make him come completely unglued. The tweet shitstorm to follow will be one for the ages.

Regardless of your opinion of Cohen, that is damning stuff. If even half of it is true, Trump really should be in jail.

Those 20 pages aren't even exciting as much as they are tragic. I feel sad for our country.

I had gone to bed but just couldn’t sleep. So I sat up, opened my iPad and started reading the statement. Wow. I can only imagine tRumpolini’s reaction to this. I do hope that Cohen and his family will have protection. They will need it.

I doubt I’ll get a lot more sleep tonight. The testimony Cohen will be giving is something those of us on the left have been waiting a long time to hear. That noise you hear is the earth shifting under tRump’s feet. It is a good day in America.
