Again, Gaetz's own statements indicate that he wants Cohen to testify. That prohibits a charge of witness tampering or obstruction. And if you don't think embarrassing personal info is relevant in a hearing where Michael Cohen's credibility is of such importance, then I don't know what else to say.

10 minutes after sending out a tweet. I bet he's been on the phone since hitting send. Trying to find a lawyer who would take such a losing case. Don't you? I bet you do.

Speech and debate clause protections probably nix this idea (also why you don't hear Nunes' name come up for obstruction investigation).

What did I miss? Did Cohen having a side chick(s) come out in his testimony today?

I don't think so. This is just hot goon-on-goon action.

This could very well constitute obstruction of Justice. Gaetz should lawyer up.

There are several reasons this doesn’t apply. Good lord...do a modicum of research.

Our resident libertarian Juice telling me to drop the charade when he's arguing for someone to be charged with witness tampering and obstruction for indicating to a witness the line of questioning to which a testifying witness will be subjected. You're a real freedom loving guy.

Not even a little bit.. Try again

Every person on this board knows that if Adam Schiff had tweeted that out, your reaction would be exactly the opposite as it has been

Schiff is a douche, but it wouldn't have been. I got crucified on this board in the same thread as you did the other week for defending Ilhan Omar's comments on Israel.

Gaetz is a douche, but nothing he said here is criminal.

This is bad for everyone that has side piece. We can’t have people ratting us out on Twitter.

LOL. A major play to grab the 2 minute attention span of the average Trumpkin.

If I’m Cohen, I walk into the testimony tmoro morning and drop a box of documents and case of recordings on the table.....then turn around and tell the Republicans they are free to review whatever they choose.

Bitch move by Gaetz. Very scummy. Cohen comes across as very scummy as well, but 2 wrongs don't make a right.
