“Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.” That Latin phrase which has shaped common law translates to “false in one thing, false in everything” … but what it really boils down to is just common sense.

We all know that honest people tend to be truthful in all areas of their lives, while the dishonest lie everywhere. In other words, if someone can’t be trusted with $100, they certainly can’t be trusted with $1,000 — but when it comes to Michael Cohen, it looks like he shouldn’t be trusted with a single penny.

The disgraced former lawyer to Donald Trump has been held up by many liberals as a key witness in the case of alleged collusion between the president and Russia, but it seems that even Trump’s opponents don’t believe a word he’s saying.

This week, Cohen has been testifying in front of Congress and parroting the same claims leveled against Trump for years. Yet while the disbarred attorney has smeared the president as a “racist” and “conman” in unsubstantiated personal anecdotes, even left-leaning media talking heads are rolling their eyes.

During a recent segment on CNN — certainly not a pro-Trump network — an entire panel of political experts agreed on one thing: Cohen is yet again lying to Congress.

“The one potential problem that I thought Michael Cohen has, is when he was asked if he wanted a job in the White House. And he said no,” CNN’s Dana Bash pointed out during an all-hands-on-deck discussion.

The problem is that even the left-leaning network knows Cohen’s statement was a blatant lie.

“Our reporting … you have been told, I have been told, all of us by people in and around the process … he very much wanted a job in the White House,” Bash continued. “Very much.”

CNN anchor and veteran reporter Jake Tapper then jumped in, agreeing with Bash and playing a clip of Cohen insisting in sworn testimony to Congress that he never wanted to work in the White House for President Trump.

That clip “raised our eyebrows because we knew it to not be true,” Tapper confirmed. “I think the issue there is that one sentence, ‘I did not want to go to the White House.'”

Tapper then gestured to the entire CNN panel of political experts. “All of our reporting suggests that’s not true.” When even CNN is siding with Trump and admitting that Cohen is untrustworthy, something has gone wrong.

It’s worth remembering that the disgraced lawyer has already pleaded guilty to, er, lying to Congress, making it very likely that he’s once again lying to Congress. Even liberals know that he is a slimy character who would say anything to spite Trump and try to save his own skin. False in one thing, false in everything.

Once again, the attempts to demonize and defeat the president have fallen flat. Instead of smoking gun evidence that Trump colluded with Russia, all that the left currently has is stories from a known liar who even the left can’t take seriously.

It increasingly appears that opponents of Trump vastly over-reached and pushed narratives against him that they cannot possibly prove. We’ll know more when the much-anticipated report from special counsel Robert Mueller comes out, but the trend doesn’t look good for the left.

From Democrats to James Comey’s FBI to the establishment media, all seemed to trip over themselves to put the cart before the horse, but are now discovering that reality and the evidence doesn’t back them up.
