[Rashida Harbi Tlaib (REP – D-Michigan, 1th District Detroit, Dearborn Heights, Westland):] Source: LYBIO.net
Thank you – all of you for centering this Committee on our sole purpose is exposing the truth. And some of my colleagues can’t handle the truth and this is unfortunate because it’s the center of what is protecting our country right now.
The people at home are frustrated Mr. Cohen and they want criminal schemes to stop, especially those from The Oval Office.
Mr. Cohen, I am upset, and know that my residents feel the same way that a man you worked for for the past 10 years is using the most powerful position in the world to hurt our country solely for personal gain.
We are upset that some of our colleagues here are so disconnected of what me – [correction] – what it means to have this President of the United States sending checks to cover bribe payments – not hush payments – bribe payments you made on his behalf.
1 in 2017th of March and another August 2017 after he was sworn in as President.
They are upset that while my colleagues are trying to discredit your testimony by some of your own unlawful acts and lies, that they are disconnected with the fact that you were the personal lawyer for this president of the United States -that this President chose YOU as his legal counsel.

My stance has always been the same Mr. Chairman based on the facts – not on future reports that we’re all waiting on. My residents back home don’t need a collusion cause with a foreign government to know this President individual one, has disregarded the law of the land – the United States Constitution. And that he has miss-used his pardon powers.
In the sentencing memo Mr. Cohen filed by the Federal prosecutors in New York in December of last year, they stated quote; “in particular and as Cohen himself has now admitted with respect to both payments he acted in coordination with and at the direction of individual one.”
Mr. Cohen as you know, President Donald J Trump brand comes first – not the American people.
Based on what you know now. Based on what we know now.
Is that individual one used his money, businesses, and platform to enrich – to enrich himself, his brand and then in the process directed you Mr. Cohen to commit multiple felonies, and you covered it up? Correct?
[Michael Dean Cohen:]
That’s correct.
[Rashida Tlaib:] Source: LYBIO.net
You called it protecting his brand? Correct?
[Michael Dean Cohen:]
And him as well.
[Rashida Tlaib:]
Mr. Cohen, with this, do you think the President of the United States is making decisions in the best interest of the American people?
[Michael Dean Cohen:]
No I don’t.
[Rashida Tlaib:]
Especially those you said that he used horrible words about like African Americans, Muslim Americans, and immigrants.
[Michael Dean Cohen:]
Yes.

Just to make a note Mr. Chairman – just because someone has a person of color – a black person working for them does not mean they aren’t racist, AND IT IS INSENSITIVE THAT SOME WOULD Even say – THE FACT THAT SOMEONE WOULD actually USE A PROP, A BLACK WOMAN, IN THIS IN THIS CHAMBER, IN THIS COMMITTEE. [Gasps] – IS ALONE RACIST IN ITSELF.

COHEN AND INDIVIDUAL ONE. I HOPE THE GRAVITY OF THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION HITS EVERYONE IN THIS BODY and in Congress and across this country. Thank you MR. CHAIRMAN, I yield the rest of my time.
[Mr. Meadows:] Source: LYBIO.net
MR. CHAIRMAN, I ASK THAT HER WORDS WHEN SHE IS REFERRING TO AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBER OF THIS BODY BE TAKEN DOWN AND STRICKEN FROM THE RECORD. I’m sure she didn’t intend to do this but if anyone knows my record as it relates – it should be you Mr. Chairman.
[Man:]
Chairman I would like to –
[Mr. Elijah Cummings, – Chairman:]
Hold on!
[Man:]
I would like to –
[Chairman:]
Hold on!
[Man:]
I want the words read back?
[Chairman:]
Nee nee no…No.
[Man:]
But we want to know exactly what she said about a colleague?
[Chairman:]
No, excuse me.
[Chairman:]
Excuse me, would you like to read rephrase that statement Ms. Tlaib?
[Rashida Tlaib:] Source: LYBIO.net
Thank You Mr. Chairman. I can actually read it from here.
[Rashida Tlaib:]
Just to make a note, Mr. Chairman that just because someone has a person of color – a black person working for them does not mean they are racist. And it is insensitive that someone would even say racist – say it – say it is racist in itself and to use a black woman as a prop to prove it otherwise. And I can submit this for the record if a colleague is thinking that – that’s what I’m – I’m saying – that’s what I believed to have happened and if – as a person of color in this Committee that’s how I felt at that moment and I wanted to express that, but I am not calling the Gentleman, Mr. Meadows a racist for doing so. I’m saying that in itself – it is a racist act.
[Mr. Meadows:]
Well I hope not Mr. Chairman because I need to be clear on this particular – Mr. Chairman –
[Chairman:]
Mr. Meadows. Mr. Meadows, wait a minute.
[Mr. Meadows:]
I’ve – I’ve defended you with false attitudes –
[Chairman:]
Mr. Meadows! I’m the Chair!
[Mr. Meadows:]
Yes sir you are.
[Chairman:]
Thank you. I will clear this up. Now Ms. Tlaib, is it – I want to make sure I understand. You did not. You were not intending to call Mr. Meadows a racist, is that right?
[Rashida Tlaib:]
No, Mr. Chairman. I do not call Mr. Meadows a racist.
[Chairman:] Source: LYBIO.net
Wait a minute – hold on!
[Rashida Tlaib:]
I am trying as a person of color, Mr. Chairman, just to express myself and how I felt at that moment, and so just for the record that’s what was my intention.
[Chairman:]
All right. Ya. What’s the matter, what’s the matter?
[Mr. Meadows:]
Mr. Chairman, there’s nothing more personal to me than my relationship – my nieces and nephews are people of color. Not many people know that, you know that, Mr. – Mr. Chairman and to indicate that I asked someone who is a personal friend of the – The Trump family who has worked for him, who knows this particular individual, that she’s coming in to be a prop – it’s racist to suggest that I asked her to come in here for that reason. Mr. President – the President’s own person – she’s a family member, as she loves this family. She came in because she felt like the President the United States was getting falsely accused. And Mr. Chairman you and I have a personal relationship that’s not based on color. And – and to even go down this direction is wrong, Mr. Chairman.
[Chairman:]
First of all I want to thank the gentleman for what you have stated. Um… If there’s anyone who is sensitive with regard to race – it’s me. Son of former sharecroppers, they were basically slaves. So I get it. I listened very carefully to Ms. Tlaib and I think – and I don’t want – I’m not gonna put words in her mouth, but I think she said that she was not calling you a racist, and I thought that we could clarify that. Because you. Mr. Meadows you know, and of all the people on this Committee, I’ve said it and got in trouble for it, that you one of my best friends. I know that shocks a lot of people.
[Mr. Meadows:]
And likewise Mr. Chairman.
[Chairman:]
Yeah, but you are. And I would do – and I could see and feel your pain. I feel it. And so and I don’t think Ms. Tlaib intended to cause you that – that – that kind of pain and that kind of frustration. Did you have a statement Ms, Tlaib, I’m going to yield to you. We’re going to just straighten this out.
[Rashida Tlaib:]
Mr. Chairman and to my colleagues, Mr. Meadows that was not my intention and I do apologize if that’s what it sounded like, but I said someone in general. And as everybody knows in this Chamber I’m pretty direct. So I if I wanted to say that I would have, but that’s not what I said, and thank you Mr. Chairman for allowing me to clarify but again I said someone and again those not referring to you at all as a racist.
[Mr. Meadows:]
Well I thank the gentlewoman for her comments. I thank the Chairman for working to clarify this, and – and I appreciate the Chairman’s intervening.
[Chairman:] Source: LYBIO.net
Now to the gentleman – first of all thank you for allowing us to resolve that –
