    That was the biggest mic drop moment I think I've ever seen. I have not in my lifetime heard such honest eloquence. Chairman Cummings is a man that has clearly accumulated a wealth of wisdom over the years. He speaks as a man who has suffered, but from whom comes compassion, hope, and above all: love. Amidst some of the most powerful patriotism I've ever heard, I heard a man find purpose in the suffering of the penitent wrong-doer, and to, without saying so directly, he called upon us all, not just Michael Cohen, to make it right. To face our responsibility to our nation, to be better. There is a fragment of light, but it's hiding in the distance, as the lyric goes. There is always hope. It's on all of us to make this right, though.

    I came here to watch this again after I watched Adam Schiff's closing arguments after the Fiona Hill/David Holmes impeachment hearings... because this was the speech that Schiff was referring to when he ended his piece, saying "in the words of my great colleague [Elijah Cummings]...'we are better than that!' "
    I've seen this Cummings/Cohen video a handful of times now and each time it makes me cry. People are suffering because of cruelty, lies, and selfishness. And we feel that suffering and our collective hearts ache for the pain to stop because this darkness that we've been in for a while shouldn't be there. Not if you care about others and the light of the truth.
    Cummings is saddened and angry too at how fall we have fallen. And it's clear he aches, too. But he also sees the hope in all of this... the healing that may come just around the corner (or even if it's miles and miles away). It's important we keep fighting for the good and against the bad...both externally AND internally... because each fight good wins puts us closer to that democracy and peace.

Elijah Cummings is quite the man and would have made one helluva President!! Jorden and those other GOP fools should hang their heads in embarrassment and shame, but I doubt they have it in them or would know what that was if it bit them in the butt! Cohen surely did wrong, but I believe he did the right thing now and I wish him well in the future!

I feel like he was truly remorseful. He lost everything and he is cooperating with the investigations. Just sucks what his family has to endure with direct hits from who you would assume to be adults: the president, his lawyer, and Republican congressmen.
