House Dems chose 'the perfect day' to drag in Cohen if they wanted to humiliate Trump in Vietnam

.


Democrats seem to have chosen “the perfect day” to drag President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, in for public testimony before the House Oversight Committee, perfectly timed to coincide with diplomatic trip to Vietnam. So said CNN justice correspondent Evan Pérez on Thursday.

Host John King expected that the hearings would make “remarkable theater” given the evidence Cohen has, including tapes of his conversations with then-candidate Trump lining up hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, when Pérez broke in to “note one small thing.”

“This is going to be happening while the president is conducting foreign relations in Vietnam, right?” he said with a chuckle. “It’s almost like the Democrats took a look at the calendar and saw the perfect day to do this.”

“It’s going to be extremely embarrassing to the president, that’s one thing we know,” agreed White House correspondent Abby Phillip. “Michael Cohen, whether or not these things are necessarily illegal or putting the president in any kind of legal jeopardy, they’re going to be embarrassing to him, and Michael Cohen has absolutely no reason to protect President Trump anymore.”

Vietnam is 12 Hours Ahead of EST. Either the day before to set the mood, or the day after to keep him stressed.
