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?

Sort of like "stealing is OK as long as the person you're stealing from is Trump."
