Remember everybody: The whole NY AG case against Trump began because Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, representing Queens & the Bronx, asked Michael Cohen if he had ever seen the Trump Org overstate assets to one audience and understate them to another.

This is what Congressional questions can do. It is a travesty that most members just rant for 5 minutes and then give witnesses 5 seconds to respond.

By chance, I was watching that testimony live. It was utterly bracing.

You could see that this member of the House had done her homework. She was the youngest Congressperson and was stll in her first year in office, but she did this.

I've watched this clip a few times but never watched the reactions. When she asked "who else would know this" and Cohen rattled off the names of three insiders, everyone who knows how criminal cases work could see exactly where this was heading. Look at those faces.

@stevenbodzin I've been admiring her from a distance, with a bit of jealousy because I don't know of a representative of the same calibre in my AU electorate.

I remember being astonished by how effective AOC was on numerous occasions.

She says "I yield the rest of my time" looking like the cat that got the cream.

@stevenbodzin The time of the Representative from New York has expired. What can anyone do with two minutes? 😱

@stevenbodzin On the other hand, this is also how I learned that I can pursue a PhD in Recognizing Bullshit. Without that, I'd have never found my life's calling.

@stevenbodzin I love how the media is ignoring her these days and spending millions pumping up The Rump, where the American people prefer they ignore The Orange Blubber and concentrate on congresspeople that are trying to bring the country back to democracy.

@stevenbodzin it's a shame that most congress members decide it's better to not rock the boat and make sure the witness does not have the chance to say anything meaningful.
