The hypocrisy of the Republicans was astounding at the Michael Cohen hearing (“Ex-lawyer alleges track record of lies, cover-ups by president,” Star-Advertiser, Feb. 28).

Some said it was a joke and a waste of their time when more pressing issues were at hand.

Isn’t a very likely tampering with the election of the highest office of our country important? They tried to impeach President Bill Clinton on the Monica Lewinsky incident yet downplay President Donald Trump’s more egregious sexual payoffs. Republicans should heed Cohen’s words when he said he was like most of them, kowtowing to Trump and eventually regretting it.
