QOTD -- Fear Of The Truth

"In a sane world, the fact that the president’s former lawyer produced evidence that the president knowingly and deceptively committed a federal crime — hush money payments that violated campaign finance laws — is something that even members of the president’s own party would find disquieting. But not today’s Republican Party.

Instead, in the most transparent and ham-handed way, they saw no evil and heard no evil, unless it involved Mr. Cohen. Republicans on the committee tried to destroy the credibility of his testimony, not because they believe that his testimony is false, but because they fear it is true." -- Peter Wehner, former Reagan/Bush 1/ Bush 2 official, writing about the performance of Republicans at the Michael Cohen hearing this past week.
