This was AOC's first Congressional appearance on the national stage, as she questioned Michael Cohen about Trump's business dealings. Cohen had taken a plea deal, and was going to prison, but he wanted to tell his story in Congress, in front of the American people.

Unfortunately, several Reps wasted their time as they usually do, posturing and propagandizing, and saying and accomplishing nothing. Cohen had been asked about little of substance, and you could tell he was getting frustrated.

Then AOC's turn came, and she was ready. This was her first national appearance, but it didn't look like it. She was confident and determined. She warned Cohen that she might move fast, and she took off. She launched into a fast series of precise questions about values of specific properties, and Cohen fired back just as quickly with answers, as well as those in Tumps office who handled those issues.

By the time she was done, in less than five minutes, she had uncovered enough actionable material, under oath, that it formed the core of Leticia James' 34 successful felony convictions against him. It was a remarkable political performance, one of the best I've seen in my lifetime.

That was the FIRST thing she did in Congress. She's EXACTLY what we need. I'll vote for her for anything. I'd love her to be President.
