Michael Cohen's Claim 'Is Not Worth Anything Unless It Can be Corroborated'

His assertion that President Trump knew in advance about his campaign’s June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower won’t, on its own, stand up in court.

Michael Cohen gave a closed-door testimony to the House Intelligence committee last October. Committee member Rep. Jim Himes tells Katy Tur that the testimony Cohen would give today would be quite different from the one he gave a year ago in the Russia investigation, now that he seems to have shifted his loyalty away from the President.

"The White House announces Trump is looking to revoke the security clearances of former officials former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former national security adviser Susan Rice, former deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and former National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden. Ari Melber breaks down how these former officials are also likely to be key witnesses in Special Counsel Mueller’s Russian investigation, while former RNC Chair Michael Steele tells “The Beat” President Trump is also "pissed because these folks are out there talking smack about what he's doing at the White House". "

Today James Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe and Michael Hayden are all no longer government employees since January of 2017, therefore their security clearances should be revoked.

Further, there is adequate proof that Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rice and McCabe all lied under oath.

In March, at the Council on Foreign Relations, CIA Director John Brennan was asked by NBC’s Andrea Mitchell whether the CIA had illegally accessed Senate Intelligence Committee staff computers “to thwart an investigation by the committee into” the agency’s past interrogation techniques. The accusation had been made earlier that day by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who said the CIA had “violated the separation-of-powers principles embodied in the United States Constitution.” Brennan answered:

As far as the allegations of, you know, CIA hacking into, you know, Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, we wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s — that’s just beyond the — you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we would do. {…}

And, you know, when the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong.
