President Donald Trumps former personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen testified in front of the House Oversight Committee Wednesday, sharing publicly for the first time details about the presidents financial history and involvement in criminal schemes with which Cohen has been charged.
The most chilling moment of the day came near the end of Cohens hours-long testimony, as the hearing began to wind down.
My loyalty to Mr. Trump has cost me everything, Cohen said. I will not sit back, say nothing and allow him to do the same to the country.
He continued, Given my experience working for Mr. Trump, I fear that if he loses the election in 2020 that there will never be a peaceful transition of power, and this is why I agreed to appear before you today.

Anybody want to make a SF movie out of this nightmare?

Cohen does raise the issue so now we all have been made aware of these scumbag's willingness to ignore the law and not seat properly elected officials. Surely rump is not this dumb...

I had the same feeling when I realized that Putin had won the 2016 election.
