So in just a handful of days of cross-examination, Michael Cohen looks to have freshly perjured himself, then confessed to another felony. CNN legal analyst Elie Honig -- who last week had said he'd never seen "a star cooperating witness get his knees chopped out quite as clearly and dramatically" in his career -- reacted to the new, dramatic revelation like this:

Every time you think MSNBC has gotten to the peak of Mt. Hackery they find a new summit to reach.
The sad thing is the people who watch MSNBC believe the lies they put out. Maybe they think it makes THEM more credible to lie?
