    Boy, I know that fidgeting. When you have someone that cares expressing their concerns for your actions and it hits you like a brick. Cohen was choking back those brick-hit tears. I feel like he was truly remorseful. He lost everything and he is cooperating with the investigations. Just sucks what his family has to endure with direct hits from who you would assume to be adults: the president, his lawyer, and Republican congressmen. I just hope this adds to and pushes forward the investigations.

      AK1919 lol. “ethically bankrupt” is the left telling America that post birth abortion is not choking a living baby till it’s dead, then “ethically” selling the parts for profit. No tugging at heart strings there, eh?

      @@Pagonism. Cummings is a totally insincere somewhat smooth talking lawer/con artist. He was doing his best to smooge Cohen to defect, with his best seductive monologue, hoping to appear sincerely concerned for what is good and right, when it was just a subliminal frontal attack on Trump. netdocor1 is absolutely right in her comments about how he behaved when Hillary was in the chair. A phony crooked Demonrat to the bone.
