Hey, you just may be qualified to be a Republican in Congress with your powers of deflection.
Cohen submitted Trump's check made while in office to repay the hush money to Cohen for the porn star's silence
to advance his campaign.

Illegal, while in office, and a state crime.

Impeachable and convictable with no chance for executive pardon. That's the jackpot right there.

There is no deflecting here at all. Nothing has been proven in a court law here. No one knows if that check is real or not. Or what it was for. The only fact present, here, right now, is Cohen has plead guilty to various crimes. Democrats are hanging their hat on a criminal. A lawyer that has been disbarred. Not the best witness I am sure you would agree.

Republicans can’t defend Trump against the substance of Cohen’s attacks

Republicans can’t defend Trump against the substance of Cohen’s attacks ~ All they can do is try to paint Cohen as a liar.

Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday morning has been damning — both for President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress.

Cohen has testified that Trump knew about illegal hush money paid to Stormy Daniels during the campaign, knew about Wikileaks’ dump of Hillary Clinton’s emails before they happened, and repeatedly said racist things in private. He has painted a picture of the president as a greedy, untrustworthy, cruel man who cares nothing for the country that he leads.

The Republicans on the committee, led by ranking Rep. Jim Jordan (OH), have spent limited time engaging Cohen on the specifics of these charges. Their responses have instead focused overwhelmingly on trying to discredit Cohen personally as a liar acting out of self-preservation — pointing out that he has pled guilty to lying to Congress before. One Republican even trotted out a poster of Cohen’s face with the caption “liar, liar, pants on fire.”

But the logic underlying this charge is profoundly wrong. The fact that Cohen lied before, and even committed financial crimes, doesn’t mean that he is doing it now. Time and again, when Republicans pressed Cohen on why he might be lying this time, they could not come with a persuasive explanation — leading to House members flailing as Cohen shot down their arguments.

The best argument that Republicans could come up with concedes that Trump employed a guy to lie and commit crimes for him for years, yet still fails to successfully indict his current testimony. That this is the best Trump’s defenders in the House GOP caucus could up with shows just how brutal Cohen’s testimony is for the White House.

And the basis and reason for this, is what.

Prove that the checks produced by Cohen, are proof of the allegation and are not for something else.
 
I reject the premise of the OP

There is nothing to refute. The documentary evidence the let was creaming themselves over is a check that could have been written for anything

No proof it was for Stormy

There was no proof Trump asked Cohen to lie. He denied that Trump directly asked him to do so. No suborning perjury.

Cohen refuted himself
 
The entire Republican day

person 1 How can we believe you
person 2 How can we believe you
person 3 How can we believe you
person 4 How can we believe you
person 5 How can we believe you
person 6 How can we believe you

etc etc etc etc

They should have yielded the balance of all their time to Democrats so we could learn something from their time.

Losers.

Then why are you whining about no one refuting something, when they also don't have to prove shit to you either. :laugh:

It would appear that my prediction this morning was true and today’s spectacle did not yield what the leftists wanted

They not only didn’t lay a glove on Trump they bolstered him with his supporters

Should be ez. There won't be billables for other services rendered to otherwise justify the checks and there will be other checks in their course of dealing
that do relate to invoices and statements of services rendered and the checks at issue will add up to a number that makes sense only in the context of
the repayment hush money arrangement. I mean, that is, unless completely ran his business without generally accepted accounting practices at all like
some sort of drug operation in Columbia.
