Lauren Boebert: Trump is not sleeping in that picture. He's praying.

Lauren Boebert: Trump is not sleeping in that picture. He’s praying. But if he is sleeping, he certainly looks pretty while he sleeps. Maybe it’s just a somber moment

Michael Cohen is a liar. They are right about that. But what did he lie about?

He lied when questioned by the government about Trump's secret payments to keep the tryst with Stormy Daniels from becoming public knowledge before the 2016 election.

He lied to protect Donald Trump. The Republican politicians didn't have a problem with those lies. After all, many of them also regularly lie to protect Trump.

It was not until Cohen was convicted and punished with imprisonment that his story changed. After serving his sentence and promising to testify truthfully that the GOP politicians began to attack Cohen for being a liar. It's not the lies that bothered them. It's the truth that he's now telling.

For today's Republicans, telling the truth about Trump is a sin. One is supposed to go to the grave telling lies to cover for Trump. Evidently, truth is no longer a Republican value.

Trump's Lawyer Had to Wake Him Up

Politico: “For several minutes, Trump appeared to be sleeping in his seat as Todd Blanche continued to conduct his cross-examination of Cohen. Trump was motionless, his head hanging down.”

“His lawyer Susan Necheles, who sat two seats away from him with an empty seat between them, appeared to attempt — unsuccessfully — to get his attention. Failing to do so, she moved into the empty seat between them, at which point Trump appeared to awaken.”
