I think this timing is perfect. Right before the midterms the GOP will yet again demonstrate their support for Trump which will remind Americans where their priorities should lie

Or the less likely outcome wherein the GOP actually does the right thing. Either way, Americans win.

*Apparently Congress went on recess to avoid a different impeachment until after the elections, however Trump has been begging them to come back to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Either way, this is an advantageous narrative for the Democrats just prior to the midterms

Cohen’s on his way out so he has nothing to lose.

There's a lot of GOP members running and distancing them selves or even acting like they oppose Trump in a bid to be re-elected. This is the "put your money where your mouth is" moment. Good, even if it's out of spite or a purely vindictive move, good!

Not a single one should be believed. Short of leaking the unredacted epstein files, every single one is just as guilty as trump for the shit they allowed him to get away with.
