Todd Starnes speaks with Rep. Matt Gaetz about the emergency at the border and the Michael Cohen hearing


Matt Gaetz defended a tweet he sent Tuesday about Michael Cohen, suggesting that President Trump’s former attorney had been unfaithful to his wife.

Tweeting directly at Cohen, the Republican congressman wrote: “Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends? Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. I wonder if she’ll remain faithful when you’re in prison. She’s about to learn a lot...”
When asked about his tweet by reporters on Tuesday, Gaetz insisted that his remarks were not witness tampering, according to The Hill.
"We’re witness testing not witness tampering," Gaetz explained. "And when witnesses come before Congress their truthfulness and veracity are in question and we have the opportunity to test them."


Honestly, I can’t say whether this amounts to anything legally or not. But clearly he’s intending to intimidate Cohen and that’s so uncool. If the shoe were on the other foot we’d probably be screaming witness tampering.
Again, I don’t if that’s what this is legally speaking. But clearly it’s designed to shut Cohen up.

I just can’t believe he’d put something out there like this so publicly.
Here are a few Twitter responses of note:

Ok I had to include that one because it’s hilarious!
Cohn was “Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel during the Army–McCarthy hearings”. Wow.



I’ve never seen the Godfather, so I had to look that one up. For those of you like me, Wikipedia says “Frank “Frankie Five Angels” Pentangeli is a fictional character from the film The Godfather Part II”.
I think that pretty much some all of this up.

NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. “I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care,” says Alcindor. “The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment,” says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."
