Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) during Wednesday’s questioning of Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal lawyer. In the desultorily expanded version of “Twelve Angry Men” that played out Wednesday on Capitol Hill with Michael Cohen in the hot seat, Rep. Jamie Raskin came up, gratifyingly, with a gem. The Maryland Democrat told Cohen: “Our colleagues are not upset because you lied to Congress for the president. It came as part of Meadows’s sputtering efforts to counter Cohen’s eyewitness account of President Trump as an unreconstructed racist. The questioning patterns became so monotonous that when a change-up was pitched by a GOP member, a spectator’s spirits rose.
