Rep. Cohen Melts Down: ‘To Be President You Need Values,’ Doesn’t Matter if You Have ‘Memory Disability’

COHEN: “It appears to me, and I think it appear to the American public, that these minor discrepancies as far as dates and after a long period of time was not the basis, it was not the basis for your decision to decline to prosecute, it was the fact that you didn’t have the facts. He acted differently than Trump, he voluntarily provided the documents, that he complied with the Justice Department that he didn’t try to obstruct justice.
