Opinion: Here’s Democrats’ smartest post-Cohen strategy
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Capitol Hill on Thursday. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 1 at 10:15 AM Michael Cohen in testimony Wednesday pointed House Republicans in the direction of many possible crimes that President Trump may have committed.
“All you have to do is follow the transcript,” the Maryland Democrat said. “If there were names that were mentioned, or records that were mentioned during the hearing, we want to take a look at all of that. . . . We’ll go through, we’ll figure out who we want to talk to, and we’ll bring them in.”If this reminds you of the Senate Watergate hearings before the House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearings, you are not alone.
In other words, way before moving on to consider the possibility of impeachment, there will be months of hearings laying out in public potential Trump crimes and assembling a list of Trump’s lies. None of this, or very little, may touch on the Russia probe and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s final report. This, by the way, is why Trump and his cronies were so upset when Cohen’s office and home were raided.
Remember, provided that no statute of limitations has run out, federal and state crimes can be pursued after Trump leaves office. There is no Justice Department guideline preventing prosecution of an entity such as the Trump Organization or the Trump campaign. So there could be some criminal cases filed before the election involving Trump.
