@CourthouseNews To support his motion, Cohen included his correspondence last month with SDNY prosecutors, who were wary about his offer to continue cooperating in the hopes of a sentencing break.

AUSA McKay: "[O]ur concerns about Mr. Cohen's ability to provide cooperation have not diminished."

That's a new one.

Gohmert just compared the impeachment of Donald Trump to the trial of Socrates.
And a "Stalinesque" trial at that.
The Ancient Soviets betrayed all civil libertarian ideals.

Rep. McClintock tells Congress members on both sides to stop repeating the same talking points “ad nauseum.”

He adds Congress members to resist the urge to speak if they are saying nothing new.

Another member replied: “Point well taken.”
Rep. Jordan then promptly ignores that noble sentiment in the next speech, hitting upon well-trod topics.
As does Reschenther after Jordan.

Reschenthaler just claimed to have "several" more amendments that he wants to introduce.

It is almost 8 p.m.
I have a vision of this Twitter feed eventually resembling Andy Kaufman's all-night recitation of "The Great Gatsby," except with House GOP amendments and speeches instead of F. Scott Fitzgerald's prose.
"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

NEW: TheDCNF has prevailed in federal court over the FBI in our bid to obtain Daniel Richman's government work product and communications. You'll recall that James Comey used Richman to ferry memos detailing his interactions with President Trump to TheNYT.
dailycaller.com/2019/06/11/dan…
My colleague @rpollockDC filed a FOIA request with the FBI after learning that Richman had "special government employee" status with the Bureau. In that capacity he had a security clearance, advised Comey, and performed special projects.
The FBI failed to make a determination on that request within 20 days, so @CauseofActionDC sued the Bureau on TheDCNF's behalf. Here's the complaint:

NEW: Michael Cohen's lawyers submitted a 12-page memo to Congress, with 100+ pages of supporting documents, that they claim "lays bare a 'conspiracy to collude' with the Russian government during the campaign" along w/ an "array of other crimes" by Trump.

buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…
Among other things, the memo submitted to Congress by Michael Cohen's attorneys says Cohen's false testimony to Congress about Trump Tower Moscow in 2017 was based on “Trump and associates’ overall & intense effort to persuade Cohen to commit [the] crime of lying to congress.” 1/
The memo from Cohen's attorneys alleges that after Cohen falsely testified to Congress about Trump Tower Moscow, he received a call “from Trump’s attorney, who congratulated him on the testimony — and said his ‘client’ was happy with Cohen’s testimony.” 2/

NEW: Lawyers claiming ties to Rudy Giuliani approached Michael Cohen after FBI raids, urging him not to leave the joint defense agreement and offering to join his legal team and act as a conduit to Trump's lawyers if Cohen exited the agreement.

NEW: Investigators have been probing whether the communications from the Rudy Giuliani-linked lawyers to Michael Cohen was intended to influence Cohen or to implicitly dangle a potential pardon from Trump in front of him, both of which are illegal.

ICYMI on Apr 20, 2018 [right after Trump hired Rudy Giuliani on the heels of the Cohen raid], Trump's pal Alan Dershowitz: Trump likely hired Giuliani to send a lifeline to Cohen and encourage him to ‘stay strong’ ... “A very, very smart move.”
