His attorney - Lanny Davis - is working pro bono. The Republicans keep trying to suggest somebody - most likely they mean the Clintons - is paying the man. Cohen says he's going to pay Davis when he gets out of prison and has an income again. When doubt was cast that an attorney would agree to wait three years to get paid, Cohen looked over at Davis, and Davis gave a shrug and a nod, indicating that's exactly what he would do. Cohen then answered, "I guess he thinks it's worth it."

Well, Cohen did say in his written opening statement that Trump Sr said Junior has lousy judgment.

That was in response to Cohen saying that Trump feels he can do whatever he wants and that when he said he could shoot somebody on 5th Ave without repercussion, he wasn't joking. He's sure of it.

Several of the Republicans who seem to be especially poor at questioning yield some of their time to Jim Jordan, the Republican ranking member, whereupon he lays into Cohen.

They're back.
Oh, good one: Cohen answers a question by saying the American people don't care about he's dealt with his taxes; what they care about is Trump's.
