Of all the contemptible episodes of political theater Congress has ever produced, Michael Cohen's seven-hour hearing before the House Oversight Committee is without precedent. Has there ever been a more seditious, mendacious, and just plain degrading spectacle? It was the "Hillary Clinton and Lanny Davis Show" from concept to planning and execution. Lanny Davis is well known as the longtime fixer for the Clinton crime family, and to those of us who remember the many Clinton scandals, he's considered just as dishonest, unethical, and ruthless as Michael Cohen ever was, although obviously much more polished and effective. Does anyone doubt that Cohen's 30-minute opening, used to slander and denigrate President Trump, was composed by Davis to inflict maximum political damage?
Chairman Elijah Cummings has changed the name of his committee from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to just House Committee on Oversight and Reform. Cummings and his committee are showing no intention of limiting themselves to the proper, constitutional role of government oversight. Instead, they are shifting gears to probe every aspect of Trump's business and private life — and that of his family and his associates — in order to impeach him or prevent his re-election. It's amazing they don't realize that disgusting displays like this hearing will have the exact opposite effect.
