I keep waiting for this RUSSIAGATE thing to yield something interesting. All it has revealed is how slimy Manafort is. Poor guy, caught doing goon work for one of the most disliked people on the planet and getting prison time for stuff completely unrelated to the original scope of the investigation.

In an exclusive interview, Michael Cohen’s legal advisor, Lanny Davis, joins MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber, to discuss the bombshell revelation that Trump’s former lawyer will testify before the House Oversight Committee in a public, on-camera hearing, weeks before he reports to prison. In a wide-ranging interview, Davis reveals that he has had “constructive discussions” about Cohen potentially appearing before other House Committees, that the days of Cohen “lying for Trump are over” and that they will work to ensure testimony is “voluntary rather than under a subpoena”.


boy the bar for bombshell has really been lowered.

I think you have it backwards. The bar has been raised, but the media is still using bombshell in the pre-Trump context. A president's personal lawyer testifying to Congress about hush money payments to pornstars, which were campaign finance violations, is a bombshell, but since it's Trump, it's just another day in Washington.

Also, Cohen reportedly won't talk about Russiagate in the public setting.

i can agree to an extent, but still dont think bombshell applies. its an announcement of a guy testifying that we already figured would, on subjects we already knew about. Now if his lawyer said "Michael will also share information he has about the POTUS's direct ties to Russia" (presumably new info) i'd agree it's a bombshell. regardless of era this seems like a pretty mundane thing, which could yield bombshells once he actually sits before congress.
