Whoâs expecting the Democrats to investigate their own, now?
Thatâs like expecting the House to expel Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib after their anti-American tirades.
During his grudge-airing, redemption-seeking spectacle on Wednesday, Michael Cohen admitted he was in cahoots with Democratic lawmakers prior to giving his congressional testimony.
âWe spoke with Chairman [Elijah] Cummings and the [Democratic] Party,â Trumpâs former lawyer confessed to Representative Jody Hice (R-Ga.). âWe spoke with Chairman [Adam] Schiff and his people as well.â
Under further questioning by Rep. James Jordan (R-Ohio), Cohen acknowledged he âspoke to Mr. Schiff about topics that were going to be raised at the upcoming hearing.â Jordan clarified that rather than simply discuss the logistics of the hearing, Schiff coached the witness on âwhat [he was] going to talk about.â
It wasnât the only attempt by Schiff to influence Cohenâs testimony: In an interview with George Stephanopoulos on âThis Weekâ last Sunday, the Southern California congressman signaled that he expected Cohen to disclose information about alleged crimes committed by the president, including money-laundering and obstruction of justice.
It all amounted to the latest ethical misstep by the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee; unfortunately, none of Schiffâs bad behavior has caught the attention either of the media or congressional watchdogs. Unlike his predecessor, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), who was subjected to a fruitless, eight-month House Ethics Committee investigation in 2017, Schiff continues to escape scrutiny for lying to Congress, misleading the public about imaginary crimes related to Russian collusion, and now, witness-tampering.
