In case you are wondering how the wingers are explaining the Cohen hearing to the cult:

Good lord Jordan is desperate. I’m surprise he didn’t work in Comet Ping-Pong somehow.— Julian Sanchez (@normative) February 27, 2019
Jordan closes his questioning by advancing a theory that Cohen is just bitter with Trump because he didn't get a job in the White House. pic.twitter.com/5loMHPSac0— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 27, 2019

They don’t seem to realize that attacking Cohen for being a liar just confirms what Cohen is saying: that he lied to protect Trump, which is what they are now doing. Cohen said near the end of this first segment:
“The more people that follow Mr Trump as I did blindly, are going to suffer the same consequences as I did…look at what’s happened to me.”
Cohen called Trump a racist, a conman and a cheat and when asked what he would call himself, he answered: “a fool.”
These GOP toadies are the same. It’s unclear if they will ever realize it. As hard as it is to believe, they are much dumber than Michael Cohen.
