This case should be televised live. No cameras on the jury of course, but the public should be able to see this historic case.

[@sheilaf1946]

So instead of these congressmen being at work, they are at this trial? And America is paying you for this?

[@ellengoodman1297]

A bunch of criminals and liars are a show of force? It's disgusting.

[@DrumWild]

No, the problem is NOT that one of them talked. The problem is that a crime was committed.

[@Gil-zt8ur]

Given Cohen spent time in jail acting on behalf of Trump, let us all pray Trump receives the same punishment for instigating this crime.

[@joko09010]

Two of three main people involved in this incident - Cohen, Weisselberg and Trump - have gone to prison. Why should the third stooge be left out? He was the main beneficiary.

Where’s his wife? Where’s his daughter? Very telling

[@1927su]

Tubberville says it’s so depressing.. Uh .. yeah!

[@dagotom6588]

These senators supporting a sex offender is disgusting !!

[@kolohe4169]

Trump listening to Michael Cohen must be like me listening to lying donny, excruciating pain. 😊😊

[@seepstw1141]

Where's Melania! 😂😂😂 Living it up with the bodyguard having the time of her life!

[@joebartles3986]

Why doesn’t Trump take the stand and testify for himself? Nevermind, you need to tell the truth when testifying.

[@donnadelahanty9903]

I don’t believe Mr T didn’t know what was going on. He’s a control freak.

[@ThatOpalGuy]

imagine trying to defend a liar by saying the witness is lying.

[@Tiga-og2mz]

For the defence if you really think that Cohen is lying then put your biggest lair on the stand !!!

[@kathleenaustin327]

Michael was thrown under the bus! This is what someone sounds like afterwards!! Go Michael Cohen!! Tell them the truth and stay strong!!

[@kathyrama4570]

How are Tommy Tuberville and J D Vance holding up? Are they off work today? Or is the Senate closed today? Kid Rock, Roseanne Barr, Ted Nugent and John Voight not available?

[@timdargon2558]

Show of force??????????? JD Vance and Tommy Tuberville???????? Show of force?????? Eric Trump??????? Show of force??? Where is Ivanka? Where is Melania?? Where is Tiffany??? Where is Don Jr????? Show of force my arse!

[@sandykatz364]

TOMMY TRAITORVILLE needs to be voted out.

[@olivergarcia2304]

Trump is such an embarrassment. People in Switzerland laugh at the level of education and critical thinking skills right wing Americans have.
